You already have taxation without representation. Felons pay taxes but don’t get to vote. The citizens of American territories also pay taxes but do not get representatives.

You could cool them through radiative panels but you would need quite big panels to radiate away the heat a data center produces.

That won’t happen.

Does that even matter? Both her and her husband are attending the deposition and she makes perfectly valid points. Why are these hearings behind closed doors? Why aren’t some people present in the files deposed? Like the President of the United States for example.

Everyone coming up with conspiratorial reasons why this is not the case but it’s much simple than that. It’s not feasible and it’s expensive and the returns aren’t really worth it.

Kids in school have a bunch of other subjects they have to learn besides foreign languages. You can add one or two languages but then at some point you will need to remove other subjects to add more or you need to keep kids in school even more. Both are not really feasible. Then you need to hire teachers for all these new languages which most places won’t do.

Another issue is with the way they teach languages in schools. They expect you to pass a test and not actually learn the language so a lot of the languages will not “stick” as the students lack immersion and practice with that language. I can speak for myself, I have learned two languages besides my native language in school: French and English. I had French since 2nd grade, which is 10 years of French classes and English since 5th grade which is 7 years of English classes. Today I can speak English fluently and like 3 words of French. The difference was that I was always immersed in English, though video games, movies, songs and so on. Not so much with French. I have noticed the same pattern with most of my friends and family members.

The US “Christians” are arguing that the explicit words in the Bible that say to treat refugees kindly and not to deny them justice aren’t what they say.

Texas keeps voting Ted Cruz in, don’t get your hopes too high.

Or some of the places where there’s measles outbreaks.

Maybe Trump should deploy the hospital ship in the US. They need it more than Greenland.

These morons really though Kennedy would side with them over his daddy Trump?

They sent the PAC a letter? What a joke.

Yep, just like last time.

People get tigers and lions so I don’t think a peacock is much harder to acquire. Also according to Wikipedia:

The green peafowl is in demand for private and home aviculture and threatened by the pet trade, feather collectors and hunters for meat and targeted.

Huh, apparently peacocks are endangered. So probably that’s why?

I honestly thought they were quite common as livestock but I guess I was wrong.

Yeah, in the middle. Only some people should be shot.

The only American job he’s protecting is his own. He’s still gonna be the CEO while the plebs are fired.

I find it kind of ironic that there is a dark cabal of elites that are involved in trafficking children, trading torture videos and various other despicable deeds and we have actual physical proof of its existence but all the Q-anon conspiracy people are just not making a fuss about it. Guess it only matters when the cabal is not made up from people on your team.

Tragic how Americans forgot all about it in a couple of decades. Those people fought for their rights and they sent the army to rein them in.

Didn’t ICE already killed a bunch of people before the Minnesota ones?

According to this Guardian article, 25 people died in ICE custody in 2025. 7 people died in December alone. Was he not aware of these deaths when he voted to give them more money? What a fucking monster.
