MAGAts awfully quiet all of a sudden.

Mace went from "democrats must own this" to "Jesus save this lost individual" on cue.

Evil people, all of them.

What crime has he committed? I think his primary crime is running for governor because he’s done such a bad job. What he’s to that state is like what Biden did to this country. And that’s pretty bad. It’s the wrong philosophy. Thousands, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, many of them prisoners, they’re taking up your healthcare, they’re taking up your space in schools, they’re taking up your hospital. And in many cases, they’re criminals. And we have to do something about it. And we’re doing something about.

Jesus fucking Christ what have you Americans gotten yourselves into? Do we need to pop across the pond and sort you out again?

Literally haven't heard anything that this person did as CEO in the two years since she joined.

Wait, you mean those Jan 6ers aren't upstanding citizens? What a surprise...

Also looking in from the outside, it seems obvious to me that the 'plan' is to manufacture sufficient crises and push people just enough that Trump can invoke the Insurrection Act and "indefinitely delay" the midterms and future elections.

What I really don't get is, this one man seems to have total unchecked power? Americans go on and on about being 'free', not having a king, but their president has more power than any UK prime minister or modern king has ever had, and it goes completely unchecked. Recently in the UK, both Boris Johnson and Liz Truss (our UK-equivalent populist grifters) were ousted from the government for overreaching and lying, but there's nothing to deal with Trump? How the heck has the US gotten in this situation? You would've expected the democrats to put checks in place to stop this, given Trump's insurrection.

I just. don't. get it.

Can you imagine if Obama said something like this during his second term?

Israeli forces would be expected to do this in order to uphold the government's blockade, and the flotilla crew would know that before going in (that's why they had prerecorded messages ready). That doesn't make it any less awful, but they accepted this risk.

But if this goes sour for Thunberg, it's going to be a global shitstorm that might finally break through the Israel defenders. I hope nothing happens to the crew and they're returned safely, and I hope this brings more publicity to what's occurring.

You're way more optimistic than me about the future of America.

Babiš, whose net worth is estimated $3.9bn (£2.9bn)

I feel like we should make it a law that politicians can't be billionaires.

Isn't GTAV an 18 rated game? So children shouldn't be able to buy it in the first place.

That's gotta be the most American thing I've ever heard - your refund going through a third party who takes a 30% cut. What a joke.

I'm convinced that AbsolutelyNotCats is a bot.

Look at all of their comments. They write like an LLM.

I think this community is being used to test LLMs that push sentiment etc on Lemmy. The mods need to actually respond to this.

In fairness, he's announced he will sue Trump and that presumably takes time.

So that's three deals that Starmer has now made with countries/blocs that the Tories promised they'd do and failed to deliver.

Really feels nice having a government that actually wants to govern.

These weren't even what we called "memes" back then (closer to twenty years ago).

These were image macros or caption images. A meme back then was usually a phrase or saying like Over 9000 and other crap like that.

What a shock.

Saying "tranny" is a slur.

You are blatantly a ChatGPT account posting pro-Musk trite. Get in the sea and don't come back.

The state of Android journalism. Nothing but engagement-bait like this, and "exclusive scoops" of unreleased features that never see the light of day.

It is kinda funny watching the American Exceptionalism finally crumble before our eyes. Shame most Americans aren't reflective enough to realise what's happening.
