  • Trump did not understand Pearl Harbor, new book reveals: 'What's this all about?'

    Jump

  • This isn't some obscure statistic or random battle that he is ignorant of. It's literally the inciting incident that got the United States to join the war. The Japanese forces launched a sneak attack on the US there, that's literally all he needed to know.

    You either don't understand that either, in which case you're showcasing your own ignorance, or you're making excuses for him, in which case you're a sycophant and can be disregarded.

  • MAGA melts down at Tom Hanks playing Trump fan on SNL50

    Jump

  • They're offended by being called out. Doesn't matter what it's about, it's just the being called out that's the problem.

  • ‘They will collide eventually’: how long will the Trump-Musk relationship survive?

    Jump

  • I've been publicly referring to "President Musk" and "First Man Trump" and hoping it catches on. The more we can make Trump feel like there's a perception that he's not in charge, the more it will piss him off, and hopefully cause him to clash with Musk.

    I don't even necessarily want him to fire Musk. I want them to try to do conflicting things, give in to their nature to be contrarian, but with each other.

  • TN lawmakers push for pothole repairs through legalizing marijuana

    Jump

  • Heh. Potholes fixed with marijuana.

  • Trump reveals executive order requiring Pam Bondi to prosecute ‘anti-Christian bias'

    Jump

  • They want to be David vs Goliath. Being the ones persecuted means that they can go on the offensive without feeling bad about it. It means whatever they do is justified as being a means of survival. It gives them an excuse.

    Reddit temporarily bans r/WhitePeopleTwitter after Elon Musk claimed it had ‘broken the law’

    Jump

  • For the phrase, "broken" specifically means "stopped", and the clock is analog. If the hands don't turn, then they will be correct twice per day.

  • Musk vows to cancel grants after gaining access to US Treasury payment system

    Jump

  • Except the president doesn't have that authority. Congress could push back, but it's currently populated by sycophants.

  • Interior Department officially renames Mount McKinley, Gulf of America

    Jump

  • Yep. But Trump doesn't care about that, he just cares about removing a piece of Obama's legacy.

  • Interior Department officially renames Mount McKinley, Gulf of America

    Jump

  • It's because Obama is the one that did the renaming. It's just petty revenge nonsense.

  • Someone left this review on my free Reddit client rdx for Reddit

    Jump

  • There's a park in my area. Literally every time I have been there, over several years, there is a van in the parking lot. It has a wire mesh bust of Hillary Clinton on top, and is covered with writings about various conspiracy theories about her, and slogans like "Hillary for Jail!"

    Possibly the craziest thing I've ever seen.

  • That's fucked up

  • Trump gets no jail time or penalties in sentence for hush money

    Jump

  • If he had been fined, do you think he'd actually pay it? And what then? You can't stick him in jail to make him pay it.

    I think this was the real reason behind the decision. Any governmental punishment is ultimately backed by a threat of jail/prison for non-compliance, but if you can't do that to the president, then he can just ignore it anyway.

  • Los Angeles wildfires could be costliest blaze in U.S. history

    Jump

  • I'm not talking about things that have happened to me specifically, rather events broadly across the Earth that should be rare happening on a more and more frequent basis.

    I don't believe in karma as some kind of cosmic balancing force, but I do believe a lot of it is the consequences of our actions a-la climate change.

  • Los Angeles wildfires could be costliest blaze in U.S. history

    Jump

  • My entire adulthood has consisted of one unprecedented once-in-a-lifetime event after another, and on occasion the same kind nearly back-to-back. This won't be the last.

  • Judge sets Trump's sentencing in hush money case for Jan. 10, but signals no jail time

    Jump

  • Honestly, it's probably more about being realistic. By the same logic of the presidential immunity that SCOTUS invented, you wouldn't be able to imprison a sitting president. The other option for a punishment is a fine, which Trump likely would refuse to pay, and then what? They can't jail him for the refusal because presidential immunity. So, the judge is admitting that nothing he tries to impose is going to stick.

  • Judge sets Trump's sentencing in hush money case for Jan. 10, but signals no jail time

    Jump

  • It's because SCOTUS also said anything in the aura of an official act can't be used as evidence. So if the president, as a private individual, does something illegal, but the only evidence is from an official presidential communication, sorry, can't use it. It's bullshit, but that's what they ruled.

    Trump's team was claiming that key evidence was subject to this immunity. But the judge completely shot them down.

  • How extreme car dependency is driving Americans to unhappiness

    Jump

  • It's not just about traffic.

    Driving requires sitting, which we do too much already and, at these levels, is bad for our health, both mental and physical. Cars also make the world around them noisy and polluted, which also negatively affects health. Even being near the streets and not in a car is taking your life into your hands. Roads take up space that could be (and often was, in the past) devoted to housing or park space.

    Our overdependence on cars has radically altered the shape of life in America, and basically none of it for the better.
