biden put a bunch of those rules back in place and seems to have drastically scaled back the program in fact

I would not say he scaled back as that implies some sort of intentional dismantling. He mostly ran out of targets because of Obama and Trump and his new policies are as weak as Obama's and amount to "uh yeah we will tell you when we kill sometime, you can't know how we decide who to kill".

Pakistan has been on pause since 2018 since forces were drawing down and Pakistan was taking over more operations. Also Al-Queda left Pakistan and shifted operations and the Taliban are now back in control of Afghanistan. Just not a lot of targets.

Yemen has slowed down with it not being declared an active zone in 2022 and no strikes since 2021. Well except for those couple of mysterious ones in 2022 and the recent one in January that look like CIA strikes against Al-Queda but who knows because no one has said anything despite the new rules :shrug:

Biden increased strikes in Somalia, 13 in 2022 vs 11 in 2021. Trump had high peaks of around 50 to 60 a year in Somalia. Things are likely to increase too, the US has been helping flight al-Shabaab.

The real thing though is none of those pauses are official or binding, they're just lulls in forever conflicts. It doesn't mean anything that he's slowed down because at any point he could ramp right back up with full authority.

I'm trying to imagine the nuclear meltdown if Trump won and then pardoned himself, or the prosecution just abruptly dropped the case. I think those might actually be the funniest possible outcomes.

The conservative/trump people around me are furious right now. So much so that even the quiet little old ladies that are decorum poisoned as hell have said to me that they're ashamed of their country (lol, just now?).

These people are fast approaching not giving a gently caress and they sure as poo poo will take this as a signal to start throwing their political enemies in prison the second they get back in control of the doj.

I look forward to it.

The ones up top know exactly what they're doing, they're fishing for an American Tojo who will purge the petty booj far right, the left in general, and their own inconvenient true believers, and then take the fall at any eventual trial.

For a while they at least had social progress on this side of the argument, I would argue it was being erroneously attributed to democrats rather than just general societal shift + lawsuits (and indeed many prolific democrats that are still alive today have various quotes about not supporting gay marriage or such) but there was some sort of progress that could be pointed to while loudly screaming that if you asked "but what about class" you were a bigot, but now we're backsliding on social progress too with the same sort of death by a thousand cuts democratic compromise legislation so what do they think is incrementally improving.

the "social progress" was due to pressure to provide a material and rhetorical counterweight to the "threat" of Soviet style communism, which no longer exists but none of these morons found their way out of the cold war paper bag so they wouldn't know the difference

i was gonna talk some poo poo but it turns out the literacy rate for american adults is 88% which is loving INSANE

more than 1 out of every 10 americans couldn't read a book if they wanted to

That's not good and in fact a huge problem that needs fixed

quote:

The global literacy rate currently stands at 87%, up from 12% in 1820. Most developed countries have achieved a 99% literacy rate.

quote:

The literacy rate for adults across the U.S. averages 88%

:stonk:

why would i be surprised?
