This is a disgrace. From an npr article I read about this the "evidence" of him being a gang member completely boiled down to because "we say he is." They claim their "proof" can't be elaborated on at all because it's sensitive national security information when this clown show administration has literally been discussing confidential military strategies in fuckin Signal.

They shit out the flimsiest of pretenses and their brainwashed base eats it up like it's goddamn caviar. Nope, it's literal shit.

As someone local to the area, it's telling that the drop box targeted is one of the more urban drop box locations in Clark County. The city of Vancouver itself leans blue, but goes red very quick once you get outside the city. This pisses me off so much, I've lived in Washington state since like 2006, and I'd never heard complaints about our voting by mail system from republicans until the big orange turd started his temper tantrum.

Ehh....whatever. TACO is going to TACO. It's all a pathetic shell game to boast his ego. And it's a bonus for him if it gets the news cycle to move on from the story about the Canadian national who died in ICE custody.

You're telling me that some disgusting rich men were found to be in association with other disgusting rich men? I'm shocked.

Trump's relationship with Project 2025 is giving Austin Power's "that's not my penis pump" scene vibes, but much less amusing.

The unfortunate thing is that I can attest to this whole charade is at least working on some conservatives (ie my dad) who has earnestly told me that Trump said he's not involved in 2025 and that he won't implement abortion restrictions at the federal level. So it's all okay!!!! And how that means that I should vote for Trump now....as if that was the one singular problem I have with the perpetual lying cheeto.

Lolololololol because Trump is sooooo respectful in his language. He would never exaggerate or demonize people simply because they disagreed with him. Boo fucking hoo that there's people calling you a nazi, if it's such a problem then maybe he should stop doing things that are so easily a direct comparison to what hitler did. What an absolute joke of president.

Trump and his White House is full of weak and pathetic crybabies. How anyone buys into his fake strongman image when he get so pouty and has temper tantrums over the stupidest shit is beyond my understanding.

After reading her paper I counted only 3 sentences that seem to directly address the article it's supposed to be a response to. And those sentences are fluffy filler like stating the article was "thought provoking." The rest of the 2 pages is a full on religion paper. There was easily a way to get her point across about disagreeing with the premise while still actually addressing what the article stated.

I'm not claiming to be some amazing writer but that reads like something I would have thrown together in high school when I procrastinated and only had 10 minutes before the assignment was due. Just yikes. I feel dumber for having read that.

In terms of sheer hours of use, buying the ad-free version of the app 10 or 11 years ago now was probably the best value purchase I've ever made. RIP BaconReader, it's been a wonderful journey. :(

Maybe if Roberts hadn't been so busy sucking off daddy donvict over the years then trump wouldn't have built up his insane expectation that the Supreme Court is there to do his bidding. But of course to Roberts...it's really only the people tired of being forced to witness to all of his court's dick sucking who are big meanies to him. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes Roberts.

I think many people are able to make a distinction between the technology companies and the technology. However in this particular discussion....how many companies are there actually offering smart glasses as a product to consumers? I'd argue as far as the general public is concerned the answer is only Meta right now. A company with a HORRIBLE reputation in regards to privacy. That makes it more theoretical in separating the idea of what smart glasses could be versus the reality of what they currently are. And right now, to me, smart glasses, particularly Meta's glasses feels like a product with SO many privacy issues that I would question the judgment of anyone who chooses to use that product. Maybe that won't be the case in the future, but unless things drastically change in regards to consumer data privacy standards, I'm going to stick to being very suspicious of them.

Also I'll add— I did not downvote you but to me some of your other replies in this thread come across as almost a little intentionally obtuse.

Since the fall of Roe v Wade they sure love to shout how "It's a state's rights issue." ...so let's demand the federal government reinstates more stringent rules for dispensing meds on ALL states because apparently teenage pregnancy is actually a good thing now and dis hurts my poor republican fee-fees. Iron clad logic. I might be a little impressed with the level of mental gymnastics these idiots go through if it wasn't so pathetic and harmful.

Well those dang West coast liberals didn't vote hard enough for Trump. If anything does happen...the West coast get what's coming to them, because why would the US president worry about states that didn't vote for him??? I say as someone living on the West Coast.

We live in the worst timeline.

Maybe people actually are constantly crying around him?? ...Maybe their eyes can't help but water up because of his reportedly horrible body odor.

Even working under the veeeery generous assumption that he DID do what Israeli police are claiming—throwing rocks— 6 months in jail in horrible conditions and no definitive end date in sight is absolutely ridiculous.

One of the founders (Francis Pettygrove) was originally from Portland Maine, and the other was from Boston. They both wanted to name the new city after their hometown.

It's entirely possible that part of Pettygrove why wanted to name it after his hometown is because he thought it would be fitting for river port city. But idk if he ever stated anything to that effect.

YES! I found this community because I was looking for where discussions about it on Lemmy might be. (Other Lemmy community suggestions are very welcome). The time zone difference does complicate things, so I probably won't catch many of the games in the time slot that is latest for me. There's still plenty of great matches to watch beside those though.

My Trump-addled father is now declaring that Wall St is going to relocate to Texas because of Mamdani's victory. 😐
