BobaFuttbucker , 11 hours ago to Asklemmy in [Silly Thought Exercise] What over-the-top absurd person would you choose to replace Biden who you think could actually body Trump, and why?

I really, really want to see Jordan Klepper debate with Trump and not hold back at all.

Seconded. Seth had to pitch the show to Fox as a sort of live-action family guy and kept it going for the first few episodes, but it quickly sheds that vibe and keeps getting better.

They don’t “have” to. It’s a nothing burger law for optics.

Federal supersedes state law anyway.

BobaFuttbucker , 23 days ago to Conservative in Newsom proposes defunding police, prisons, public safety as California faces massive deficit

“Defund” was taken out of context at the time too in order to write overreactionary stories. While I’m aware some people were full on wanting to abolish the police, they were a tiny minority.

“Defund” literally means “give less funding than before”, which itself I could get behind, considering many location’s budgets are not managed or audited effectively, and I’ve seen first hand in my hometown and other places I’ve lived where they get a huge budget, buy a bunch of shit they don’t need and there’s no tie between budget and performance like literally every other workplace.

Just because people want some fiscal responsibility from law enforcement doesn’t mean they don’t want law enforcement, but the word “defund” has scary connotations and the media leaned into that to protect the boys in blue.

My own brother became a LEO and quit after trying very hard for a couple years to be a force of change, but after seeing the abuse of the system by his fellow officers he eventually left when he realized he was powerless. It was pretty sad, actually. He otherwise loved the job.

The movement to defund the police was less to “get rid” of the police and more of a movement to reallocate much of the funds into multiple public service programs. Personally, I’m still cool with that concept. We prioritize the wrong things in the US for the most part.

Rather than buy more weapons and shit for officers who are clearly not always trained appropriately on how to use them, maybe we should direct those funds into programs for mental health, poverty and living assistance, healthcare payment assistance, drug rehabilitation and counseling, and similar public services to provide the public with a better standard of living. It works in other countries, so why not here too?

If we just set aside our differences for one voting cycle and vote according to issues like this that span the entire political spectrum we might be able to get some shit done.

BobaFuttbucker , 1 month ago to Technology in The U.S. Finally Passes An Internet Privacy Law… For Rich Jet Owners

Maybe in the house. Now go look at the senate voting records and remember bills don’t become law in the US until the House passes with a majority and the Senate passes with a supermajority, and either the President signs it (which Biden did) or congress overrides a Presidential veto with 2/3 majority.

Translation: Bipartisan cooperation is required to pass literally anything. So the passage of any bill into law means the parties agreed on something. Therefore, Democrats agreed with Republicans (and Biden) on this being law.
