Yeah, there have definitely been, we’ll call them “prominent posters” here who fit the bill.

Yup totally get it. This is a point far beyond rehabilitation to me, where the only sane solution is to never allow that person to interact with the public again.
I have zero ability to comprehend any of their “reasoning”, and even if they change their behavior, I don’t see how it could possibly be worth the risk to the public to ever let them be free.
Its just… So far beyond anything understandable to do something like this.
Around the time of KIA, the NRA getting money from Russia, the change in T_D from laughing at trump t9 being full maga, the changes to r/conspiracy, etc?
Yeah I think that was the specific influence of a certain former superpower that has spent a few years fighting a few days worth of war, but that’s my bit of conspiracy theory. Its just too coincidental (with too many known incidents) for me not to believe its all related.
Earlier than that actually, by another 10 years, in an event called the Portland Massacre by opponents of changes which dropped the elements of the Dallas Accord. That’d when the takeover occurred, though the takeover began about 10 years before that.
So its effectively been a total shit show for about 30 years by my estimates.
Unfortunately true. And the reason I personally land with prison is that enough innocent people end up there that I can’t support the death penalty. I actually just referenced a convicted murderer just a bit ago, whose conviction was overturned in no small part due to bad police work.
The best prevention, IMO, has nothing to do with the justice system, and a lot note to do with better social services. Counseling before something terrible and irreversible happens, better support for single parents, or even social workers/police/etc doing their job in this case, would have improved things drastically - a little girl would still be alive.
I can’t think of a better option than that.
Can someone like that actually be rehabilitated
I doubt it. Which is why I’m a fan of letting them disappear forever in a prison, and never have the opportunity ever again to harm a child.
or can they serve as an example of what happens to monstrous pieces of shit like that?
Also doubt it.
These sort of people will not recognize their own actions as being wrong, and they also wont “learn” from the punishment of others.
So the only thing public torture would do is provide a spectacle for those who enjoy it. It won’t deter anything. There used to be public hangings, stocks, etc - which also was not stopping the crimes from happening.
I’ve definitely trimmed some artists from my personal music library over their politics.
Does Romancing the Foam have a kidnapped lounge chair and treasure hunting?
Well, as long as their eligibility/registration isn’t tossed under dubious means, there are enough polling stations where they live, they have the ability to go (as in not working or their work allows them to go), their vote sent by mail isn’t caught in a USPS black hole until right after the deadline despite being submitted long before, so on, and so on.
I still think that’s why Vance thinks Haitians are eating cats.
So, an actual answer if you’re interested.
No, the President does not have the power to remove him. When the Post Office was reformed into USPS in the 1970’s, the selection of Postmaster General is made by the Board of Governors of the Postal Service. These board members have 7 year terms, and are appointed by the President, with Senate approval.
The Postmaster General has no fixed term, and serves until the Board decides otherwise.
There are 9 members of the Board, and no more than 5 can be from the same party. The Postmaster General and Deputy Postmaster General are also voting members of the Board, though there are some things they can’t vote on.
Removing requires an absolute majority - so even though a quorum is 6, there needs to be 5 votes to remove DeJoy.
No member of the Board can serve more than 2 terms, and they can’t be removed without a gross violation - misconduct for example.
So despite the spongebob meme reference reply near mine, no, Biden can’t just remove DeJoy.
The US doesn’t want that either.
Be quiet, resident of “Further North Dakota”.
Especially since the folks who benefit from some water because they are in line for hours are usually the ones with not enough polling places, as in urban districts which typically vote democrat.
Yeah, its definitely fascist bullshit.
Giving food/water to people in line or on their way to vote is probably what they are referring to.
Unrelated outside of the title… Pokemon Go to the Polls was a very fun bonus episode for dungeons and daddies
Related, I really hope the Taylor Swift fans register and vote (and more, but her fans are relevant right now considering the endorsement right after the debate)
Yup, xmpp is the way to be still IMO.
Yes but it wasn’t marketed that way. Which is why there is more interest.
Apple has been blatantly obvious that they want it to remain proprietary and exclusively on their hardware.
Because imessage is proprietary and apple is against it being publicly available and a standard.
It just implies it.
The records of what she does, and the performative activism, which takes place entirely and exclusively during presidential election years - that’s what shows she isn’t putting in the work.
After repeatedly losing in Mass, the only time she runs for anything is for presidential elections. This also demonstrates she isn’t putting in the work, or she would have more involvement in more local elections.
