• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump administration shields Israeli official charged with child sex crime⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As of right now, we have both the Israeli and US governments saying they didn’t intervene, an August 27 court date, and questions about why they granted this guy $10k bail as a non-citizen. I think somebody local probably fucked up, honestly, but the article title is wrong about the facts.

  Having a hard line Zionist attorney general appointed for NV sucks, but there’s no reason to think she’s involved. Gotta wait and see if Israel is willing to extradite or if he returns on his own recognizance, as unlikely as that is.

  I’d imagine you can run some kind of custom script to disable or reassign the key, similar to what ahk does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fact-Checking Trump’s Epstein Defenses: In face of mounting discontent over his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, President Trump has turned to deflection, denial & downplaying⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The grand jury info was sealed by a federal court, but nothing about the Supreme Court. The big missing public info would be the state files that the DOJ has from 2007ish. The federal prosecutions of both of them were unsealed almost fully AFAIK.

  I think they might be misinformed, or just trusted comments without sources.

  Sounds like an Irish postal code

  I’ve been experiencing the same thing for a out a week on jerboa. Subscribed page, as well. Could it be a Lemmy version incompatibility with other servers and the apps, maybe? Haven’t looked at any of the changelogs.

  Works just fine, just make sure you do your mail forward with the paper form, keep your payments current, and do the verification of the forward in person as is required. Fwiw you can use any address you have access to to start the PO box or other accounts as well, even if you won’t have that access for long. Source: I do mail

  The good news is that your post isn’t really something you have to worry about(social media is propagandizing this), it’s only going to impact state funded housing for people and aim to funnel money to private prison contractors for any homeless people who assault ICE or w/e other federal agents. The bad news is that its rooted in hate and going to damage section 8 housing access, generally making people poorer/more worse off in the long run.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK De-banking is often how the US first declares you "homeless"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  1. use an address you can access for at least a week
  2. get your initial documents
  3. go paperless and have the mail all RTS

  Job done, nobody will bother you and you can use electronic statements as proof for accounts. Just don’t commit fraud with them and nobody cares.

  He’s not? The EO is theater, nothing changed but that. Nobody homeless is copping federal charges anyways unless they assault feds. The OP is also sensationalizing things, you can use a valid address and say you receive a bill at it to claim residence aka not homeless (even if you functionally are). I see it all the time. Often people stop paper bills and use electronic stuff as proof of residency.

  I’m not sure this had anything to do with transphobia. The attackers just sound homophobic; they probably saw her hair and don’t know or care that the slur they picked isn’t for girls. It’s sad that she’s going through this. Their girlfriends robbing them after they had been beaten down speaks volumes about what sort of people they are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that habeas corpus has its roots in thr Magna carta, from the 13th century.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not quite. The office of the President already had legal immunity for official acts, the only thing that SC ruling did was reiterate that and also stymie efforts to pursue a legal case against him by buying more time for him to get re-elected. That last part came from having to refer a case to the SC if there was a question over whether or not something was “official”. If we had a functional SC that wasn’t assisting the Executive, it wouldn’t have been a big deal.

  Unless the American people vote out the majority of politicians who want to protect Trump to further their own agendas, there will continue to be an evisceration of decorum. He has no true legal protection, just political ones.

  Speaking from experience, the Epoch Times is an incredibly questionable source. They regularly publish conspiracy theories, lies, and they’re owned by the Falun Gong. Every once in a while a sample issue is sent out with some factual reporting (and a conservative bias, which is fine) to get people to subscribe and fall into the really ridiculous stuff. Re: your bias site, I do not know.
