It's just a power grab. And yes, both parties have been treating the rest of the world like that for a long time.
One great strategy in the prisoner's dilemma is tit-for-tat. When it's your turn, repeat exactly what your counterpart did last turn. The rest of the world learned that with tariffs, and hopefully team blue figures it out too.
I'm not sure tit-for-tat works with organisations. If leadership changes, the trust that you built up can just go out the door with the old leadership. The EU is learning that the hard way.
What remains stable is a very basic and primitive power dynamic (generally in resources and violence).
Hey mods, remember when you removed the flags on that Hulk Hogan article because “people wanted to discuss it”? Well, how about this one? Surely this is more relevant and interesting to the community than a celebrity death. Surely.
This is the very real state of affairs in the US. The Federal government has fallen to an openly corrupt, self-enriching administration. The argument that "it's been that way for a long time" has some merit but completely ignores the sudden and rapid decline this year. We have armed masked groups roaming the streets, sometimes with military support kidnapping people off the street. This is not normal in a developed country. This is nowhere near normal.
It doesn't on Hacker News, and what I quoted comes directly from the link at the bottom of the page. By that logic we'd also be discussing tariffs (the economy of the nation that totally dominates the IT industry...), and all sorts of other things here.
This is a community designed intentionally to not go down that rabbit hole. There are plenty where you can. I've been here since the early days, trust me, it's better this way.
After 2001 the US lost the habeas corpus in total silence. The Snowden revelations demonstrated that you can have a stage level conspiracy unveiled, and again nothing Will happen.
The writing has been on the wall for 2 decades: laws don't matter there.

This is the sort of story that turns HN into /r/politics . Flagged.
