which has racked up 38 speeding and red light tickets since 2017
That’s 4.2 tickets every single year.
First of all, how is running a red light just a ticket?
Second of all, why has her licence not been revoked with that many tickets?
America is a weird fucking country.

What? Zero? Fucking paywalls. I thought the communists would be better than this
Also, what’s this? That’s how they display on DDG search results. Highly professional looking…
McTernan was Prime Minister Tony Blair’s Director of Political Operations from 2005 to 2007. He then worked on the November 2007 Australian Labor Party federal election campaign.[1] From 2007 to 2010 he was special adviser to two Cabinet Ministers in Gordon Brown’s Labour Government: first to Des Browne, Secretary of State for Scotland and Secretary of State for Defence,[2] and then to Jim Murphy MP, the Secretary of State for Scotland from 2008 until May 2010. From June 2010 to October 2011, he was a columnist at The Scotsman, and then director of communications for the Australian Labor prime minister, Julia Gillard, from September 2011 to June 2013.[3] He was chief of staff to the 2014–2015 leader of the Scottish Labour Party, Jim Murphy, who resigned after the Labour Party lost all but one seat in Scotland, including Murphy’s, in the 2015 general election.

McTernan can sod off.
Also known as a French butter dish. I agree and would highly recommend to everyone that eats butter
There’s also this classic
Oh I see you’re a security guard at Elbit Systems
From what I understood, I think they’re reasoning is that Ireland must remain neutral in international conflicts, as has been Ireland’s stance since 1922. So by providing a bat to one party they’re taking a side and breaking a century long policy of neutrality.
They see that one side is the aggressor, so they’re still willing to aid the other with food, medicine, clothing, etc but draw a line at weaponry.
Like I said in my other comment, I’m not sure which side I agree with, but they certainly don’t sound opposed to others providing weaponry, just they themselves would rather provide other forms of help.
To stick with your analogy, we generally wouldn’t call out a wee nurse not getting involved in two big blokes having a punch-up if they then ran in and treated the victims wounds. Ireland is only 5 million people and has suffered at the hands of imperialism, having The Troubles as recently as the late 90s. They know bloodshed, an eye for an eye, and the escalation of violence.
To make clear, as this can be a very emotional topic. I’m not taking a side (irony), just trying to explain their reasoning.
Interesting wee debate in that article.
I’m not sure which side I take, as I can understand both sides reasonings. I just thought it was noteworthy that they printed a back and forth, and the article remained relatively neutral which is rare in modern journalism.
Today, only former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn emerges from the scandal as vindicated by his principled stance opposing New Labour’s support for US imperial wars and corporate influence.
But the record is clear: throughout the two-year genocide Streeting loyally stuck with Starmer’s policy of maintaining the alliance with Israel, avoiding serious action over its crimes, offering military and diplomatic support, while making performative criticism to distance Labour from the horrors committed by its ally in Gaza.
Numerous MoD officials had recently joined Palantir - and pressure is mounting on ministers over what looks like state capture by a Trump- and Israel-linked US surveillance firm.
The project built by McSweeney around Starmer, aided by his mentor Mandelson, was brittle, authoritarian, factional and paranoid, as well as sexist and racist.
It cared nothing for the victims, be they trafficked women and children, or the Palestinian men, women and children of Gaza. It suspended black and Muslim female MPs for the slightest infraction.
But… But… But I have been repeatedly told that Labour are pro-worker and lefty liberal loonies! Even by Lemmy members who have signed up to servers that promote anarchism. Have I been lied to? Could it be that the pro- capitalism neo-liberals aren’t in fact left wing at all?
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!
Next you’ll be telling me that all they really care about is wealth and power.
In 1992, Meloni joined the Youth Front, the youth wing of the Italian Social Movement (MSI), a neo-fascist political party founded in 1946 by followers of Italian fascism. She later became the national leader of Student Action, the student movement of the National Alliance (AN), a post-fascist party
Some observers have described Meloni’s political positions as far right,[254][255] and have highlighted her campaign appearances with Rachele Mussolini.[256]
In an interview to the French newscast Soir 3 when she was 19,[400] she praised Italian dictator Benito Mussolini as “a good politician, in that everything he did, he did for Italy”,[401][402][403][404] and as the best politician of the last 50 years.[405]
After the formation of FdI in 2012, she decided to add the tricolour flame to the party flag, a neo-fascist symbol associated with the MSI, which derived its name and ideals from the RSI.[416] The tricolour flame is said to represent Mussolini’s remains, where a flame is always burning on his tomb in Predappio.[417]

Press X to doubt.
Peak musical creativity:
I thought Meloni couldn’t get enough of licking Trump’s brown stained orange ring? What gives, why’d Italy say no to the Board of Fascists?
Are they thinking they’ll try joining the winning side of a world war, from the beginning, this time?
You think it’s fair to hear corporate lobbying on the use of the word ‘milk’ in reference to a product that has existed since the early 1990s without confusion? Despite massive backlogs being such a national issue that prisoners are being released early, jury trials are being scrapped, and the current government campaigned on it…
Going through multiple courts, using up multiple clerks, lawyers, and judge’s time?
And that’s fair?
And now this non-milk milk, which every layperson refers to as milk, can no longer be labeled milk, despite everyone likely to continue calling it milk.
That is a fair use of limited court time and salaries?
Wikimedia is an American organisation. In an America where legality is thrown out the window regularly, where foundational laws (e.g. murder, the constitution, etc) clearly no longer matter for the ruling party and vast swathes of people that follow them, what is legally free now?
I understand your point, I just think this is something to ponder. Is the free knowledge part more, or less, important than the legal part of their goal? Does the legal part truly matter any more?
US created? What a load of horse shit.
During the 1945 United Nations Conference on International Organization, Szeming Sze, a delegate from the Republic of China, conferred with Norwegian and Brazilian delegates on creating an international health organization under the auspices of the new United Nations.
The first meeting of the World Health Assembly finished on 24 July 1948, having secured a budget of US$5 million (then £1,250,000) for the 1949 year. G. Brock Chisholm [Canadian] was appointed director-general of the WHO, having served as executive secretary and a founding member during the planning stages,[22][19] while Andrija Štampar [Croatian] was the assembly’s first president.
And even then, they generally don’t wanna watch amateurs, semi-pro, or low league pros. Can only be the national/world leagues or nothing at all.
Almost as if they don’t really care about sport but instead are using it as a means to be part of a group, to have a cultural link with others. A shame sport culture is mostly brainrot pundits constantly waffling shite like “they really wanted to win this one” as if they’re not trying to win every time. No moment of silence and just watching the spectacle allowed. Constant punditry, hours of pointless analysis before and after every game.
Not to mention the constant hype as if each match is the most important of all time

Watching amateur sport is far more interesting IMO. Less predictable, more exciting, no bullshit punditry, more passion for the sport.
