It was one of those one person family bathrooms. I had a 3 hour wait and a bottle of rum.

I was pouring rum into it.

Right, if all you eat is meat, wheat, corn syrup and potatoes, no problem!

I was in an airport bathroom and somehow the auto soap dispenser managed to squirt soap into my open cup of coffee. Fuck those things.

It’s those darn liberal environmental and labor regulations

Why try that? It’s terribly regressive economic and taxation policy. It’s essentially a huge sales tax.

That’s the problem. Trump is a complete fucking idiot, so just because something is a terrible strategy doesn’t mean he won’t do it. Look what happened last time with the tariffs on Chinese goods and the small trade war he sparked that screwed over soy exports. Did Trump learn anything from that? Or his voters? Evidently not.

It sure would help if Americans weren’t generally ignorant about uh… tons of stuff and especially anything that involves other countries. All sorts of fruits and vegetables are imported - green beans, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, lettuce, berries, bananas, onions, cauliflower, broccoli, eggplant. And then at the same time, the Trump bros want to crack down on groups of people who make up a large portion of the domestic agricultural workforce? It’s difficult to see some conservative policies as intended to do anything other than just fuck people over and cause chaos.

But people were freaking the fuck out about the Covid restrictions. Trump opposed them but also made them more necessary for longer. I guess that’s what the average person doesn’t understand.

That’s one of the bullshit things republicans have propagandized people about for decades. Wealthy people do better under them, and then generally republicans run some sort of scam that ends up in economic disaster and a bailout.

You mean she wouldn’t want a next term?

So just not vote for President or vote 3rd party, I guess you mean, which in a swing state is equivalent to voting for Trump.

Jesus, still with this. Trump is 100% on board with current Israel policy and would like for it to be more extreme, actually. Why would they vote for Trump?

It’s true, his dementia, inate stupidity and lack of interest gives him plausible deniability for many topics.

No no, after months of reading the same 6 people post inane shit on Lemmy I learned that the Gaza situation is entirely due to JOR BIDE N who loves GENORCIDE. Israel apparently didn’t do anything.

Yeah, but he and his supporters don’t understand that technicality or gaf about it.

I haven’t had the impression that progressives have been happy with the increasingly lenient policies of DAs in various cities for the past few years regarding crimes like burglary, auto theft and shoplifting. In Denver for instance, police have said that they don’t really bother investigating some crimes since basically the policy is to let repeat offenders out the next day on PR and essentially wait for them to victimize someone badly enough to stay in jail for a while. As someone not remotely conservative, it’s amazing to side with police not doing their jobs due to DAs acting like that.

Huh? Honest Trumpy said he’d never heard of it

I really don’t get why some people have a hard time understanding how this all works. For an office like President, you don’t get your favorite choice. Period. You have to vote for the candidate who can actually win and best reflects your views and values. Jesus Christ. I can’t possibly be fucked to explain this again.
