Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

@TheAllMemeingEye Does this have to be a formal declaration of war (to my knowledge, last done 1942 in WW2), or would a significant military action involving US troops on the ground (such as Afghanistan, Vietnam) count for yes?

@DavidTucker copied from earlier comments:

thepurplebull:

Does this mean he has to sign a formal war declaration? Or can Trump just authorize military action?

Me:

let's say the latter, since I suspect he's quite likely to make a bunch of hyperbolic statements about being at war without any real substance. For it to count though, in addition to authorising military action, it should probably also require some sort of objective to at least temporarily capture / recapture / defend populated territory, to distinguish it from e.g. a standalone airstrike to assassinate a specific target.

I'm pretty sure Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan would all meet this criteria

@njmkw @Bayesian does this count? https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-03-27/justice-department-california-universities-race-dei-admissions

@Marnix If you're still considering N/Aing stuff to make way for other questions, I'd recommend this one. I'm suspecting people are misinterpreting it as "shift in general consensus of societal status" instead of "ending to poorly animated anti-woke series on Twitter" (and, frankly, it's not really all that interesting of a question).

@TheAllMemeingEye would things like "habeas corpus" and "joie de vivre" count as loanwords? How about a film title?

@MingCat In general I would count any phrases that appear in mainstream English dictionaries or Wikipedia lists of foreign language phrases in English as being loaned and thus not resolving yes.

As for media titles, let's say that if that media was released in the US with the title containing foreign language words, then that title when used to refer to that media is also loaned, but if coincidentally using the same phrase not referring to the media, or if using the original language title when the US release version had the title translated to English, then that would not be loaned and could resolve yes.

@TheAllMemeingEye Would Trump saying "c'est la vie" be enough for a YES resolution?

@Kraalnaxx it appears here, so I would consider it a loan word (or I guess technically a loan phrase)

@MalachiteEagle @Bayesian My argument for this one is that there is a causal link between the trend spike for the term "vibes" and Trump's election in 2016

@TheAllMemeingEye ahahahaha

Utah’s signed a law that prevents trans pride flags from being displayed in schools and government buildings. The bill’s sponsor said on Twitter that the purpose was to “ban the Pride flag” specifically. The governor says he expects the legislation to be overridden but agrees with the premise of preventing “divisive” flags and “keeping classrooms neutral”

Should resolve YES?

@KJW_01294 Is it possible to be overridden before it comes into effect?

@TheAllMemeingEye Not likely. The bill page says, “3/27/2025, Became Law w/o Governor Signature”. The governor didn’t veto the bill, so the only ways to override before it takes effect on 7 May 2025 are through a special legislative session (which hasn’t been called before 7 May any time in the last 15 years except for a veto override) or a court order.

Bill page for reference:

@jks thanks for explaining 👍

What is going on here?

@Predictor seemingly AI art

@Bayesian time to resolve this one? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-jfk-assassination-files-released-2025/

@Bayesian @mods could you please resolve? Thanks!

@Marnix for clarity, I intended this to be "deported from the us," using the baseline of the deportations of Venezuelans to El Salvadorian prisons going on right now happening to a US citizen

@Marnix and speaking of which

@Marnix https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/rubio-says-el-salvador-offers-to-accept-u-s-deportees-of-any-nationality-including-violent-american-criminals

Rubio says El Salvador offers to accept U.S. deportees of any nationality, including violent American criminals

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says “there are obviously legalities involved” in Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s offer to accept and jail violent American criminals.
