@Libsofbluesky The "Communists defeated the Nazis" crowd always leave out the fact that the communists allied themselves with the Nazis, and only turned against them after being betrayed.

Their opposition wasn't ideological, it was vengeance and survival.

@USTechWorkers He is talking about top quality talent, not the masses that decided to go into the field because they were told that's where the money is.

@gbwi54304 @libsoftiktok Wishing someone happiness on any day, even if you don't celebrate it, is a positive thing. Anyone hearing that and getting offended is the problem, and needs to take a long look at their own prejudices and behavior.

@OrdnancePackard @RobProvince @kdrum You mean the same "Mother Jones" that released "gun violence against children" data that defined a child as up to 25 years of age (gotta get all the gang violence in there).

Makes sense.

@mirandadevine @America1stLegal 2013 would be outside the pardon period for Hunter..... Just sayin'.

[Myrddraal @HandOfTheDark]

@libsoftiktok I hate all his "put X in jail" talk unless someone lists the specific law that was broken.

Sue them for the harm they caused? Sure. Pass a law covering some articulable thing they did that should be illegal? Yes.

But insisting on jail without a specific crime is useless.

[Myrddraal @HandOfTheDark]

@KFAlegal It is simple, so let me help you: We believe you can un-earn your right to live through actions taking the lives of innocents.

There is nothing inconsistent here.

@maybeornotaria I know, right? I mean human beings are sometimes born with more or less than 10 fingers! That means we need to remove the assertion that human beings have 10 fingers from textbooks and recognize genetic damage as normal and finger count as random! /s

@libsoftiktok Is the added context true or false? It sounds like it is true.

Community Notes does not exist to provide conclusions, just context.

@SIMCONTROL1 @TaskandPurpose IFF only impacts the decision to fire, it does not prevent an already-fired weapon from choosing the wrong target.

We won't know until we get more detail if there was an IFF issue and it was fired upon, or was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

@CNviolations It is weird that they ascribe authoritarian attitudes to the "right wing" while the left wing puts people in jail for social media posts.

[Myrddraal @HandOfTheDark]

@DaleStarkA10 Hard to tell from so little information so far, but this could have just been the pilots in the wrong place at the wrong time (i.e. too close to a target).

Would be interesting to find out whether an SM-2 or SM-6 or ESSM was used to down it.

@GayPatriot If only she had a Jill Biden, she could serve another couple of terms.

@ninaturner If every rung on a ladder is the top rung, nobody can use the ladder.

[Myrddraal @HandOfTheDark]

@ninaturner Not every job should be a "living wage."

There is a class of jobs designed for people to get their feet wet for the first time to gain experience for a resume and money to launch from their parents' home.

We erase those jobs at our peril.

@kmoore8228 @samstein Case in point: The 40% raise for congress they tried to sneak in, as well as the insipid redefinition of "offender" to "justice-involved individual." I'd be surprised if even 25% of Americans supported those, but a few radicals in congress can demand them in big bills.

[Myrddraal @HandOfTheDark]

@kmoore8228 @samstein These massive bills only obfuscate everything, hide other things, and a healthy system would not be passing laws that have a razor thin margin, or things civilians don't really even support by and large that are pet projects of lobbyists.

@Lletya @samstein Unlikely.
