Just one small correction: although the 2008 bank bailout did happen during Obama’s presidency, it was the Bush administration who created it and signed it into law. This is usually framed as Bush being a class act and doing it to spare Obama the blowback of having to do the same (back in the days when presidential class was still a thing), but it seems not to have worked, as everybody still blames Obama entirely.
To be fair, when job listings require any university degree to apply, regardless of its relevance to the job in question, it becomes obvious the actual knowledge and education are secondary to simply checking a box. No wonder so many people are allowing AI to do their thinking for them. Any system defined by its technicalities is going to have loopholes.
The reason is because he was rightwing, same as the kid who took out Charlie Kirk. It destroys the narrative that liberals are violent when everyone who takes shots at your leadership are from the home team. If it was true, we’d know everything about these people. But it’s not, so the info gets suppressed instead.
For your consideration: It’s somewhat well known the reason Trump eats so much fast food hamburger is because he has a fear of being assassinated by poison (due to a lifetime of screwing people over and socializing with the wrong sort). Do you really think that kind of paranoia would agree to allow a mentally unstable kid with a rifle anywhere near him? That doesn’t make sense to me.
I thought it was obvious from the video that he nicked his ear on the secret service person’s belt buckle on the way down when they were piling onto him? It explains the paltry amount of blood that appears only after he’s down, not to mention the optimal healing time. No bullet did that.
I don’t believe it was staged. Everything that came after, yes, lies upon lies, exploiting the situation to its maximum potential, absolutely. But a real rifle was fired, a real bystander was killed, and Trump’s secret service really was incompetent enough to let it happen. No need to invent anything when the obvious truth is damning enough.
To be fair, who’s to say this hasn’t happened? Obviously not to the extent it should, but. If there are any conscientious objectors in the military would we even hear about them? The brigs may be crowded even now.
Ah, I see. I didn’t realize the water was squirted out of a plastic flower on the attacker’s lapel.
But joking aside, no court would ever interpret the act “on the face of it.” Rotten fruit, pie in the face, fake blood, you’re right, those have lots of historical precedent as symbolic acts of protest. “Mystery fluid flung at someone’s face” has historical precedent too, but not so symbolic.
I understand what you’re trying to say, but you’re not thinking like a judge. If you were a judge, would you really want an article in a law book to describe you as the one who thought it was a good idea to greenlight the throwing of mysterious fluids at politicians’ faces as an act of protest?
Wouldn’t work. Bring a fake bomb strapped to your chest to a town hall and you don’t get a lighter sentence just because it wasn’t a real bomb. Pretend terrorism is treated the same as real terrorism.
Terrible, terrible suggestion, to the point of arousing suspicion that you may be from one of those bot farms made to antagonize and sow discord.
The kind of people who voted the Trump administration into power (regular voters, I mean, not the propagandists and billionaire class) are not travellers. Travel and bigotry are mutually exclusive (generally speaking, of course exceptions do exist). People who have curiosity about the wider world and interest in other cultures are overwhelmingly leftist. Even to suggest attacking them is extremely counter productive and would only cause more Americans to stay home and devolve into conservatives. Americans abroad already know their country is a shitshow and deserve sympathy, not aggression.
Okay, here’s what’s actually happening since nobody seems to get the picture.
The Arctic has been melting in recent years, opening up areas that were never accessible before for resource extraction (oil, minerals). This is also why nobody is doing shit about global warming, because the opportunity for profit is too huge.
Canada has claimed ownership over the Arctic and its resources. Greenland/Denmark has claimed ownership as well. America has claimed these areas are in international waters and not ownable by anybody, so it’s a free for all. But they know that’s a weak position.
If USA takes Greenland, they take the Arctic. That’s it, that’s all.
Bonus: it’s a distraction from Trump’s name being all over the Epstein files. Although I’m not sure why he cares so much; his supporters certainly don’t. Like he said, he could rape a child in the middle of 5th avenue and he wouldn’t lose any votes.
Will always be funny to me that lobsters are such an expensive delicacy at fine dining restaurants when they started out as food for extremely poor people in coastal communities. In the old days the general public viewed eating them as you would view eating a rat today.
Nah, they don’t release a toxin, at least not in the sense of “self-defense” that is usually meant with that phrase. After death they rot very quickly, so they do become toxic, I guess that’s similar enough. My dad cooked lobsters often and he always stuck a paring knife in a very specific spot in the head right before boiling, I assume this information is about to become much more widespread to comply with these new laws.
Um, correct me if I misunderstood, but wasn’t your point that drones WILL pilot themselves? 🤔
I remember first hearing these anecdotes during The Apprentice years, long before he entered politics. But with what we know now about Trump, it’s pretty safe to assume they were completely made up. What we know for sure for sure is that there is exactly zero evidence to support those claims. So urban legends at best.
Problem with Bandcamp is they got bought out, first by Epic Games and then by Songtradr, and each time it’s gone through enshittification. Bandcamp Fridays used to be a weekly thing but got changed to (EDIT: semi-monthly) with little announcement, and then half their staff got laid off to pad the bottom line. Even with all that they’re better than the alternatives, but they’re still on a decaying trajectory.
What an odd question. As if they care what the viewer base wants. As with all things Disney, this was a marketing decision spat out by a computer using obsolete data.
