We've had far more presidents deserving of impeachment than ever actually impeached and convicted.
This isn't a partisan problem nearly so much as it is a systematic one. Countries with Parliaments can oust a PM with a simple singular No Confidence vote. The American system of removing a president is functionally impossible.
This isn’t a partisan problem nearly so much as it is a systematic one.
can agree on everything up to here. the evidence presented for Trump's impeachment should have sealed any impartial judgement; it's a systematic problem when half the elected officials FEAR the power Trump would bring against them if they convicted him.

Far-right AfD surges to 39% in German state, one year before election
cross-posted from: lemmy.zip/post/47959472
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is far ahead in the polls in Saxony-Anhalt, a poll revealed on Thursday, just one year before the eastern state holds elections to its regional parliament.
like this
They still should immediately outlaw the AFD (NAZI) party, as per their constitution. While they're still the government, and before they're the ones fighting the new German Nazi state.
Billionaires are funding the new German nazis, like Musk the nazi, and Putin the nazi.
You have no idea, how the constitution works
Just because your Lobotomised Orange can do anything he wants over in Jesusland, there is still a working democracy here
So its time to leave jesusland for you and actually learn how it works
While yes, the Parlament has to initiate the Verfassungsschutz, the Verfassungsschutz already published a 500 or so page document about it, however, in order for them to be able to use it as evidence and therefore van the AfD, they first have to win the legal battle with them fighting the whole evidence that can get them banned in the first place.
- if they will even exist at that point, since 10 have already been killed off
More of their members should probably die. And perhaps a portion of their most zealous followers. Not the idiot randoms, but the ones that are really into their ideology.
Remember kids; fascist lives don't matter.

The Fake News NEVER wanted you to know, but I’ll tell you: we have the GREATEST JOBS NUMBERS in the history of the world. Not just America—the ENTIRE PLANET. People can’t believe it! Biden couldn’t do it, Obama couldn’t do it, Lincoln never even tried (sad!), but I did it, and I did it BIG.I walk down the street—HARD HATS, STEEL WORKERS, TRUCKERS—big strong men, tears POURING down their faces, saying, “Sir, THANK YOU. I have THREE jobs now, and I’ve never been happier. My wife has two jobs, my kids have jobs, even my DOG has a job!” Tremendous spirit.
World leaders call me—Xi, Putin, Macron, even the King of England (nice guy, very weak)—all crying, literally sobbing on the phone: “Sir, we’ve never seen anything like this. How do you make so many jobs?” And I tell them: it’s called BEING TRUMP.
So true: we’re winning so much, America is working so much, and the FAKE Democrats are crying too—but not with joy, with jealousy. HISTORIC NUMBERS, FOLKS!!!

According to a document seen by POLITICO, the bloc’s budget and public administration chief Piotr Serafin has been tasked with “a large-scale review of the Commission’s organisation and operations, together with an external benchmarking exercise.”

Trump and Putin both agree: Blame falls on Europe as Ukraine peace effort languishes
Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are on the same page again.
The US and Russian presidents are now both singling out Europe as stasis envelops efforts to end the Ukraine war three weeks after their high-profile but low-impact summit in Alaska.
Trump called on Europe to do more in a call with European leaders on Thursday — even though the only incremental diplomatic activity to do with the war is coming from US transatlantic allies as they try to work out security guarantees to protect Ukraine after any peace deal.

Most Russians are good people too. We've got to stop thinking in these kinds of terms or we'll never get along with each other long term.
We just need to stop all the violence and to mean it.
The problem is war is good for business and good for dictators. But even democratic nations talk a lot of shit. It's all dishonest.

Putin rejects Western security in Ukraine, warning troops would be target
The Russian leader's refusal comes after 26 countries pledged to deploy troops to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire.Paul Kirby (BBC News)
I don't think the BBC does a good enough job of connecting the dots here. This position only makes sense if you believe either:
1. that Europe is going to use this as a jumping-off point to invade Russia or her allies; or
2. that Ukraine is not a sovereign country.
1 is not credible given that Europe has been a pretty peaceful neighbour for 80 years, whereas Russia has invaded a bunch of countries.
So this really demonstrates Putin's belief that Ukraine should not have control over her own territory, that Ukraine can have some autonomy but at the end of the day needs to submit to Russia's will. Russia doesn't want to admit this to the West because it harms Russia's credibility, so this little argument really deserves to be made clearer.

Yeah, but funding and work started on hubble in 70s and it launched in 1990. With that in mind its a lot less 'amazing'. Also i dont know what more advanced means in this case? Whats the qualifiers or the metrics? Like a space telescope which gathers light for days and weeks to get a picture is built to different specs than a spy satelite which has to take pictures in fractions of a second to get a clean picture.
Also the 'interesting feature' of having a short focal length isnt that interesting? They're spy satelites, what else are they supposed to focus on? The secret nazi base on the dark side of the moon?

It's such a minor part of the video that I didn't put too much thought into it, but ironically the point of the video is that we shouldn't overlook small 'glitches', so you're quite right to look into it critically I think!
The video is more focused on the history of Israel, and computation's role in that. With that in mind, I think you're right. It's almost definitely some sensationalism up top to warm the crowd.

Former interior minister arrested upon arrival in Bolivia after deportation from US
LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — Bolivia’s incendiary former interior minister was arrested at the airport Thursday after being deported from the United States to face a litany of charges, including crimes against humanity for ordering a deadly crackdown on anti-government protesters in 2019.
The deportation of Arturo Murillo follows his release from U.S. prison in June after serving four years in a money laundering case in which he was accused of taking $532,000 in bribes to help a Florida company win a lucrative contract to sell tear gas to his government.
Late Wednesday he was expelled from Miami on a flight to Bolivia, where he has been tried and sentenced in absentia in two of the many cases against him. In addition to the homicide and crimes against humanity charges, he faces accusations of money laundering, abuse of authority, aggravated theft and influence‐peddling in his purchase of overpriced tear gas to use against protesters.
Alibaba’s AI Chip A Big Deal? [Trefis Team | Sep 03, 2025 | forbes.com]
Furthermore, reports have emerged that Alibaba has created a new AI chip for its cloud computing division. While the new chip is not intended to compete with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) Hopper series of chips, much less the new Blackwell lineup, that’s not the actual goal. The focus is on ensuring Alibaba can secure a supply of AI semiconductors despite U.S. export restrictions while also enhancing the competitiveness of its cloud business as AI adoption continues to rise.
This development also takes place against a backdrop of geopolitical tension. The U.S. has prohibited leading-edge chip exports to China, with Nvidia’s H20 being restricted earlier this year. Though shipments have since been conditionally permitted, Chinese companies still face uncertainty, and reports suggest that Beijing has advised companies to refrain from relying on the H20. By creating its own chip, Alibaba can diminish its reliance on U.S. suppliers while meeting China’s rapidly increasing need for AI capabilities.
In summary, the new chips are likely to supplement Nvidia's GPUs in Alibaba's broader AI strategy. The company will probably continue to depend on Nvidia hardware for training AI models in the short term, while its own chips focus on powering cloud-based inference on a large scale. Other Chinese companies are also intensifying efforts in developing AI chips. Baidu, Huawei, and startups such as Cambricon are all working on AI semiconductors. However, Alibaba’s established presence in cloud computing gives it a distribution advantage. It can swiftly integrate new chips into its extensive data centers and monetize them through its existing customer base.^[[1] https://archive.ph/cWWzv]
