I was being picky.

Okay, but they didn’t just say it. It’s also true.

This isn’t a case of one side said this and the other side said that, but the headline makes it sound that way.

they didn’t “say” it
they “acknowledge” it

I presume they’re all U.S. citizens until proven otherwise in court.

“promised”

I’m okay with saying either:

Religions are the problem. The unquestioning loyalty and assumed goodness is a breeding ground for heinous thoughts and actions. He was religious in this sense.

or

Violent acts like this aren’t religious, and those who claim they are religious and still do this are co-opting the word “religious” which should connote care for others. He was not religious in this sense.

Either way, my comment “religious” brings to light that the use of this word is irrelevant at best but more likely problematic and misleading.

“religious”

The resulting outcry from the Reddit community ultimately led to a planned protest, from June 12 to 14 in which moderators for the site would make their communities private or would restrict posting.

A federal judge has ruled that President Donald Trump acted illegally in deploying the National Guard to address protests in the Los Angeles area.

In a ruling issued Thursday evening, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer wrote that such use of the National Guard was a violation of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution and exceeded the statutory authority granted to the president.

https://soundiiz.com/ is so good at transferring playlists or exporting them to standard csv or playlist file. It’s $5 for one month—which is all you’ll need for this specific transfer. But I pay yearly (there’s a discount) because I like to export my playlists throughout the year. There are a bunch of other great features.

Edit: Oh, you meant the audio, too. In that case I’d say transfer/export your playlist. Then go find FLAC files of the songs from various sources.

I see your point. A way out of this that doesn’t require their support l would probably be quicker, but it would be far more peaceful and lasting if we get it.

I might not mind living in interesting times if the people who vote for Republicans would all realize they’ve been duped and choose to join the protests against the GOP politicians. If non-rich Americans could all work together, there’d be no stopping us.
