That’s what is ridiculous to me. The consequences are literally that they might lose their job. Yeah it sucks for them a little bit, but the alternative is destroying our fucking country. It’s amazing how many of them choose to bend the knee time and time again.
I know! I hate myself for it but I can’t unsee it. I think it’s the chin that does it for me. That and the sleaziness…
On a random note, not sure how many Monkey Island fans there are around here, but I can’t see Matt Gaetz without seeing Stan the used boat salesman.
Shouldn’t this dude be in prison for sex trafficking?
Thanks for the clarification. I’m glad that presidents can’t just overturn Justice Department policy when they want.
Wish we had a remind me bot so I can check this comment in 4 years and see if that’s still the case.
I dunno. The human part of me wants to believe that there would be something that would be to much for his base to stomach. But the pessimist in me that’s still processing last week’s election makes me think there could be a video of Trump and Epstein raping a 13 year old and his base wouldn’t give a shit.
Is there an app? I use Voyager and Sync for Lemmy.
I still don’t understand how this is an official DOJ policy. I always see it referenced as a DOJ memo from the 70s. Who gives a shit about memos? This is supposed to be a country of laws, not 50 year old memos.
But yeah, would love Garland to issue a new memo overturning that policy. Let Trump’s first official act be to overturn an existing policy to prevent him from being investigated. Not saying he would even hesitate to do it, just saying I’d like to make it an explicit step he has to take.
Seriously great question at this point. In 2016 it was commonly accepted knowledge that if Putin released a video of Trump getting pissed on by a woman in a Moscow hotel, that would be the end of his political career.
Since then, he’s been found to be a rapist in court, has attempted to overthrow the government, and has been found guilty of about 3 dozen felonies with more charges pending - which doesn’t matter any way since Trump’s judges have granted him legal immunity to anything he wants to do. And he was just convincingly reelected with his party winning both the House and Senate.
At the point, Putin could put out a video of him personally pegging Trump, and it would make no difference.
Trump used to have sex with his “friend’s” wives. So this actually seems something he’d be used to.
Lunokhod was an old Russian lunar rover would have been receiving instructions for picking up rocks on the moon. The joke is that Trump (or whoever the original subject of the joke was back in the day) was so controlled by Russia that they were beaming him instructions directly.
Same. What made me feel old as fuck in this article was one of the young women mentioning voting for Obama in her elementary school mock election.
This mother fucker.
At this point, I’d also just say Ender 3 printers. You can get them for a hundred bucks now. They’re not as fancy as the newer 3d printers with auto-leveling, remote printing, dual extruders, etc. But they get the job done just fine.
That doesn’t sound like the movie studio dropping the ball or anything. If it was a fan edited poster, that’s completely out of their hands.
What’s the poster controversy? I guess I’m more out of the loop than you are. I’m still looking forward to the movie though, I love the musical.
It’s mind blowing this is what passes for normal conservative conversation. In a minute and a half, they hit on:
Trump is a hero
Trump is so cool because he made racist jokes about Harris
It’s weird that Biden would peacefully transition power to someone who plans to be a dictator
Bashing on trans people
Prosecutors should get the death penalty
They voted for Trump because he is a criminal
Yeah, it was bad when Bush was reelected. But even then, I felt people were treating politics more like a team sport than actually chosing the most qualified leader. But now I feel like it’s gone from “rooting for me team” to full on cult mode. My neighbor across the street has 6 Trump signs on her house. That’s not normal behavior.
Remember when gas was cheap because the entire country ground to a halt due to Trump mismanaging COVID? Those sure were the days…
Keep in mind that’s Income Tax. Most rich people don’t actually have income, they have capital gains.
