That’s okay, we feel the same way about you. But more to the point, when you’re in a situation where the only choice is whether to laugh or cry, it’s just a question of how you want to cope.

People have said that, but I disagree. I think that fascists really are that stupid. It looks like a strategy because a lot of mainstream media has been happy to embrace the chaos, all they want is that 24-hour news cycle. But if you look at reliable political writers, people who think long-term, none of Trump’s bullshit baffles anyone.

If you think about the tariffs, he was trying to flex because he’s a narcissist, and people around him, perhaps including himself, were getting richer through insider trading. It’s a basic scam. Everyone understands it. No one is baffled.

Look, if we’re serious about having transparency and accountability in law enforcement, it’s going to take a lot of work. The starting point would be to require these officers to have their names in large text on the front and back of their shirts, like professional athletes do. They need to be named openly all the time, not just when they’re arresting someone, not just in tiny text on a badge that you can’t even see when you’re 6 ft away.

And most importantly, they need to be locked up or massively fined when they violate their own policy or people’s civil rights. When cops are not accountable for their actions, of course they’re going to behave like rat bastards.

I don’t think anyone is actually shocked. It’s quite obvious that if you push policies that benefit large numbers of people, you might get support from large numbers of people. Of course that’s not a guarantee, but it doesn’t need to be.

But many Democrat politicians have been keen on appeasing their corporate backers by pretending otherwise, even though they knew it, we knew it, Bernie was saying it The cat has been out of the bag for a long time.

I don’t know, I was too busy eating cats and dogs.

Rights have nothing to do with anything.

Wait a second. Are you saying we can hack them? This is wonderful.

Some men you just can’t reach.

I can’t imagine it passing, but good for trying. Let’s see how it goes.

Strong narcissists cannot actually have a clean conscience. They are making shit up constantly. There is no dependency on reality.

You might be right, but that is not the claim that was made. Do you know other men who are predators? That was the subject.

There you go again, blaming the voters for the fact that Biden and Harris were shitty candidates. God forbid they could have changed their policies. Never that.

And your position looks even more messed up today. If you consider what’s happening in Palestine today. Harris wanted to take a pro-Israel stance, she did, Trump pretended that he was all about peace, we knew he was lying, but it was too late because she already threw away those votes… That’s 100% on her, we all predicted it, and she did whatever she wanted.

Yes if you change the definition of “bad”, but there’s a name for that logical fallacy.

What you’re saying makes sense except that’s not what OOP was talking about. They weren’t asking what definition of “quality” to use.

Unless people use nukes, right? Yeah. Maybe you lose everything. That’s the risk, my friend.

Right, listen to that manosophere and you can commit some R or SA … Is that what you mean by “get laid”?

Depends what you mean by social media. I watch YouTube similar to watching TV. Doesn’t feel anything like Mastodon or Lemmy to me, you know what I mean?

Not exactly made up. Slavery is a real thing.

So … Pay the Americans more. That is why they are leaving, my farming friends. It really is that simple.

Update: Over 400,000 people have already died from the termination of USAid money, most of those from food bank programs ending.
