  • Rent-free in Trump's head

  • WTF? Biden passed multiple layers of loan relief for students, and the Republicans blocked most of it with lawsuits and the rigged SCOTUS. Are we living in different realities?

  • Rent-free in Trump's head

  • I am old enough to remember one of these two people fighting tooth and nail to provide loan relief for students, and the other working as hard as possible to prevent it. One of them raised the min wage his first month in office and increased healthcare budgets, the other spent the start of his term raising taxes on workers and taking healthcare away.

    But sure, they are all the same. If you don't count their policies nor their results.

  • My data is from AP https://apnews.com/article/trump-harris-gender-gap-votecast-05672b6426cb5965c446ae2871d97eaf

    I have no idea what you mean by "20% swing in gender." There's an 8% gap between men and women supporting Trump, and the AP said: "the gender voting gap was unremarkable by recent historical standards."

    Also, AP reported that Biden had 55% of the women vote, meaning that the gender gap today is narrower than the 2020 election.

    "Harris had the advantage among women, winning 53% to Trump’s 46%, but that margin was somewhat narrower than President Joe Biden’s in 2020, according to the survey. In 2020, VoteCast showed Biden won 55% of women"

  • Insightful interview https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/how-trumps-rhetoric-compares-to-historic-fascist-language

    "I think Trump has been conditioning Americans since 2015 to see violence as something justified in certain cases and even patriotic.

    He's been conditioning them to see other Americans as enemies, as diseased, as dirty. And what we have to remember is that authoritarians might initially target one group, and he's been talking mostly about immigrants. But he's also calling the enemy within the political opposition.

    [...]

    And this is part of an authoritarian projection mechanism. I call it the upside-down world of authoritarianism, where, ever since Mussolini, he was the first to call democrats the real tyrants and fascism was going to be freedom. Fascism was going to make Italy great again. That was a slogan, as was drain the swamp. Trump took that from Mussolini as well."

  • As stupid as that sounds for him, what's even worse for me is that he is trying to make the case that all immigration in America is essentially criminals and insane asylum monsters. Even when he knows full well he himself married several immigrants, he comes from immigrant families, his kids have immigrant mothers, and so on.

    He's trying to tell a nation built by immigrants that immigrants are all criminals and monsters.

    During his Wednesday rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, Trump appeared to explain why he keeps praising the character, saying it was because they are "real stories."

    "They go crazy when I say the late, great Hannibal Lecter. They say, 'Why would he mention Hannibal Lecter? He must be cognitively in trouble.' No. These are real stories. Hannibal Lecter from 'Silence of the Lamb,' is a lovely man. He wants to have you for dinner," he said.

  • Couch menace

  • JD Vance said he was able to cure himself of couch chlamydia using a home remedy he invented that involved tree sap and some indian spices he found in his wife's kitchen spice rack.

    When he was then spotted showing couch chlamydia symptoms, he claimed that he got reinfected a second time, but this time it was from Democrat secret agents that infected him for political persecution.

  • Trump's proposed tariffs would reduce American incomes by 6.3 - 2.9% depending on your income level. Americans that earn less money would suffer more.

    Jump

  • Trump is such a clown that when he speaks the internet is left talking about how he sounds like an angry idiot toddler. But he ends up getting a pass on his asinine policies because we are too busy talking about the insane stuff like "eating dogs" and him choosing to be Putin's bitch.

    Let's not forget that his vision for "the economy" is also BS. His policy ideas are all bankrupt. The health care plan is not coming in 2 weeks. His administration inflicted on America's budget the most insane deficit and debt of any single presidential term: https://www.propublica.org/article/national-debt-trump

    His ideas on tariffs are insane and debunked by serious economists. The whole thing is bananas. His plan for tariffs would hurt American workers. And in typical GOP fashion, the pain hits harder on the working class.

    For anyone that wants to read a real economics analysis, here is a detailed study from the Peterson Institute for International Economics,
