All emotions, big on rhetoric, not so good on repurcussions & consequences for actions.
However. I don't see much really coming from this, just a galvanized Trump base. Maybe some switcjes in the middle. And I wouldn't be shocked if there's a false flag, "Oooo, LOOK, now we've found a conservative that wants to kill Biden! Both sides!"
....except nobody's dumb enough to assassinate a senile lame duck. And everybody knows, nobody wants Kamala as POTUS. 🙄
Firearms don't have to be needlessly complicated, zeroed in. Ammo, propellant, firing cap/something to ignite propellant, metal tubes to direct the subsequent blast & ammo.
The guy basically rigged up a rudimentary cyberpunk blunderbuss.
It's in the name, Tractor Supply. So if you have small tractors...they supply parts for them. Lot of the stuff I see is for small operations & at a high enough price, for what it is.
Additionally, there's clothing, some gun stuff, hunting/fishing, animal feed, and a bunch of lawn decorations made in China.
Imagine being so fucking stupid that you rape women, record the rape on a shitty smartphone, and you actually think that video works as blackmail...against the women. Alright, bet. Maybe it does, but the premise is just absurd.
"You stop talking about us being pieces of shit, or we'll widely share documented evidence of us being pieces of shit."
Take every man in the video, and the guy recording. Line them up. Shoot them in the head. Oh and be sure to record it on a shitty smartphone, or don't, nobody cries when an asshole dies.
Rivian is an expensive failure. 😂 They're going to steal VW 's money, whatever is invested, and they're going to spend it all before VW can get it back. So...they're going to lose at least $1B.
That is technically a mechanism. I'm wondering if Biden, Trump, or both experience some incredibly bizzare....accident...before November.
Idk if it even needs to be complicated. With Biden it could be every bit as simple as "Oh wow, look, he died in his sleep. NEXT!". He looks rough. Wouldn't take much.
If you're also bitter about it, don't buy wireless earbuds from the phone brands. Samsung, Apple, etc.
Admittedly it's not a big thing, but I don't think we should directly financially reward the same people who took the aux port from us.
Sennheiser is good but sometimes at bit more spendy. I like Jabra Elite 8 Actives, for dust/dirt/sweat resistance. Maybe the sound isn't quite as nice, but I'm fine with it. And Jabra isn't a company that took the aux port out of our phones.
This is actually really funny because I think Michael Knowles talked about this exact same thing either 2 or 3 days ago. The conclusion was: we have these instincts. Some people just really like exercising them, and others, they're exercising fear/horror/disgust in a safe, controlled environment because that helps to prepare them for the fears, horrors, disgust they'll face in real life.
Not that they're thinking that consciously. But subconsciously.
The message of Christianity is excellent for subjugating populations, giving them purpose & hope, keeping people busy & out of trouble. I think that all sounds very appealing to rulers.
To leave the US isn't as easy in itself...to leave, and sever all financial ties, even moreso. I think you must renounce your US citizenship to stop paying income taxes. $2400 + any exit fees, for those with a little more built-up wealth.
Where to go, where to land, is another big question. Nerds with their remote working jobs can go anywhere, work from anywhere, and get their money. I am a blue collar laborer. Pros & cons to that, but it does physically limit where one can go & make a halfway successful, nice living.
I do believe the US is in decline. This could be a Rome type situation, where it is in decline for centuries. When you're at the top, there's a long way to fall. It might be best to position yourself accordingly, and not make any rash decisions.
"It is a bummer that you feel financially stressed, particularly these last 4 years. But things could be worse! Somehow. Vote Biden in again & you'll see."
Sometimes when I'm randomly banned from speaking for no good reason at all, I test to see if I'm still banned by typing 'A' & deleting it. This account has been muted for a week & it looks like it's finally lifted. For now.
My stuff still shows up as 'deleted by creator'. I've noticed the blanks, too. I use Sync for Lemmy.
....goddamn. I am conservative but this is top tier memeage. And he is okay so... I think we can all have a laugh! 😂 Very funny. 👍🏻
