I don’t know shit about Hawaii

My advice would be to ask more questions, and make less assumptions…

Especially when you’re assuming a disadvantages minority population gets fair treatment in an American judicial system…

It’s not subtle, and it’s definitely not a secret, why are you trying to form opinions on co.plex societal topics off a handful of social media comments?

If I was kicking the shit out of a Mexican in the USA and calling them an immigrant, it would be a hate crime.

That analogy doesn’t really make sense…

Here’s a real life example of what I heard witness multiple fights out there:

Local vs local

You’re a bitch ass cuz

Local vs mainlander (regardless of race)

You’re a bitch ass haole

That’s it.

It ain’t deeper than a substitute for a word that denotes familiar relations…

You seem awfully desperate to find an example of white victimhood though

I was putting an edit in before I saw your reply.

But it’s just a stand in for when something like auntie/nephew/cousin/etc isn’t appropriate because the person isn’t native.

It’s not a racial slur. It’s just what they use for someone that isn’t family.

So it could 100% be coupled with insults at someone because of their race, but the word itself isn’t inherently racist.

Central to the case was the use of the word, “haole,” a Hawaiian word with meanings that include foreigner and white person. Dennis Kunzelman testified that the men called him “haole” in a derogatory way.

Attorneys for Aki and Alo-Kaonohi said it was not Kunzelman’s race that provoked them but his entitled and disrespectful attitude.

Yeah. That’s not a hate crime.

I’d get called a haole 5x walking two blocks to the beach. Especially in an area that’s still mostly native, they ain’t going to just jump to using the same words for you they use with lifelong members of the community.

You’re literally an outsider and need to make an effort to be welcomed into the community. Until then, you’re going to be called the word for outsider. Well, technically it means “soulless” but it’s not as bad as it sounds.

Edit:

To clarify like a lot of Asian communities a lot of importance is put on family units.

So amongst themselves, everyone is: auntie/uncle niece/nephew brother/sister/cuz

If you’re not part of their family group, they ain’t going to call you that.

You’re a “haole” and that’s all it means, one translation is just “not of the island”. It’s not automatically a bad thing, and rarely is.

But lots of haoles are dicks too. So sometimes you get checked to make sure you’re cool.

Thanks!

I threw an edit in

The same DNC that just ousted vice chair David Hogg

1. The reason was the prior DNC didn’t follow its own election rules.

2. Martin let a committee decide

3. The committee put it to a vote of all the members, the ones who had just elected Hogg, and they decided to redo the election.

4. Hogg decided to not run again despite every sign he would win. And instead said he was making a PAC

FBI has much stricter rules of engagement…

The CIA operates abroad and historically can do whatever they want including but not limited to full on government coups.

But yeah, since 9/11 we’ve got like 3x the security agencies. People can go anywhere now

The DNC chair congratulated him almost immediately and called for the party to unite behind Mamdani:

“This is going to be a moment for the establishment, for a lot of the people who lined up behind Cuomo. It has to mean something to win the nomination,” she said.

"Democrats have spoken, they made a selection, and I would really, really hope that if he is facing headwinds from different directions, that the party would come together the same way I’ve seen the party come together over and over again when progressives need to say: ‘All right, let’s make sure that people turn out and vote for [someone] who wouldn’t have been our first choice.’”

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/zohran-mamdanis-rise-new-york-city-means-democratic-party-nationally-rcna214909

So yes, Bernie and the DNC agree, it’s fucking weird.

If there is another PUMA movement, this time it won’t have the backing of the DNC

Edit:

The original quote is proceeded by this:

Rupert told NBC News that after years and years of progressive Democrats being told to unite around the nominee when the establishment’s choice wins a primary, she hopes the party will do the same now that the shoe is on the other foot. She was heartened to see Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin’s quick congratulations for Mamdani on Tuesday night.

Yet the article doesn’t seem to mention what Ken had said, just her reference to his congratulations to Mamdani.

It threw me off and I thought it was Martin’s quote following it

Isn’t that just the police?

FBI almost always have a criminology or psychology degree and know way before applying to the FBI that the test doesn’t work.

But the type of person to join the FBI would 100% Google it first and read studies. At least wikipedia.

Jocks go CIA, nerds go FBI.

It’s not as true as it used to be, especially with so many new agencies over the last 20 years, but it’s generally true.

I mean. They’re FBI agents…

They all have already had to take at least one to get in, even though they all would have looked into them first and know they don’t work. That’s still not as bad as the guy having to administer the tests who definitely knows it’s bullshit.

It’s my favorite example of what happens when we let politicians set rules to govern bureaucrats.

The only reason it’s still given is no one high enough in the FBI to be listened to has managed to explain to a president why it’s stupid.

A lot of our government is shit because high ranking bureaucrats are shitty are explaining things to idiots

Polygraph measures nervousness, not lies.

So innocent people fail them. And guilty people pass them.

All this does is make remaing people hate him

Phillips appeared confident that Democratic voters across the country would recoil from candidates like Mamdani—despite recent rallies in red districts where progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who both endorsed Mamdani, have drawn crowds of thousands of people in recent months during Sanders’ Fighting Oligarchy Tour.

The DNC is also hitting red/purple areas again instead of just using them to funnel donations to the DNC:

The only reason Republicans have a chance at House and Senate majorities, is we’ve spent well over a decade avoiding any fight we didn’t know for sure we could win.

That’s now longer the case since the neoliberals got the boot from DNC leadership.

That’s why we’re going to keep seeing articles like this where formerly powerful neoliberals are going to keep saying the party is fucking up. They desperately want to turn people away from the primaries even if it gives Republicans the general.

In an actual free market all the corporations would act like this, because shit like this is what people want out of a business they patronize.

You will recall that there was a bit of a fuss a month or so ago when an undoubtedly-harried GameStop employee stapled some customer receipts directly to Nintendo Switch 2 boxes—and through the boxes, and into the Switch 2 units themselves. It was all quickly resolved, without lawsuits or fistfights, and with the ugliness now behind it GameStop is looking to make some proverbial lemonade by auctioning off the Switch 2 killer for charity.

No lawsuits, no fight required by affected consumers

The company made it right and turned a bad situation into a PR move that helps a charity.

I really thought we’d see some kind of ethical capitalism out of the whole GameStop thing but it never really spread.

This happened a while ago, the son was waving his dad’s severed head around on YouTube after bragging about it. All because his dad had been some low level federal employee.

But especially with how “ice” refuses to show ID, I’ve been worried we’d see more of these “citizen arrests” where crazy people try to arrest someone then “stand their ground” when their commands aren’t followed.

We can’t count on Trump’s FBI keeping tabs on this shit.

The timing of the memo is sensitive, coming before key elections in the Netherlands, Czech Republic, and possibly France. It also references recent elections in Poland and Romania.

Critics fear the memo signals U.S. support for far-right candidates and could encourage political interference in European elections.

They’re 100% going to meddle in elections, that’s a bipartisan issue:

Speaking to the Jewish Press about the January 25, 2006, election for the second Palestinian Legislative Council (the legislature of the Palestinian National Authority), Clinton weighed in about the result, which was a resounding victory for Hamas (74 seats) over the U.S.-preferred Fatah (45 seats).

“I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake,” said Sen. Clinton. “And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”

https://observer.com/2016/10/2006-audio-emerges-of-hillary-clinton-proposing-rigging-palestine-election/

Seriously, fucking up other people’s election is one of America’s favorite pass times and largest open secrets.

It would be naive to expect trump to be the only president who didn’t do it

Which doesn’t mean it’s ok trump is doing it.

It means we need to be pissed anytime a president does it, not just when it’s trump

The fuck kind of popup is that?

Let them sell IP addresses to 437 different people or pay $5 a week?

If this is a real story I’m sure more reputable places will be picking it up shortly, absolutely no one should agree to that popup.

Quick edit:

No other sources it seems, but here’s msn rehosting the same article without the crazy agreement to sell your IP:

It’s a journalist who ordered it for a review knowing it was going to be at least a couple scams involved…

Sweetheart

Dean Cain has been a bitch for years…

He drank the maga Kool aid a long time ago

Doctors have a duty to report when there are certain dangers.

But not after…

Which, again, would explain the fifth

If he didn’t say it then, saying it now would mean he loses his license.

I dunno, this is one of those things I’m just gonna accept some people can’t understand

It’s not extraordinary…

He’s a doctor, he can’t say shit without losing his medical license. He has to plead the fifth even if there wasn’t a coverup about Biden’s mental health.

They should be questioned his aides and cabinet that covered it up, they can actually be forced to testify.

This is empty theater
