I've been interviewed several times by traditional media in my own political work. It's very common to basically get a mulligan if you have what they call a "false start". Unless the network is just out to do a hit piece on you. Anyway, yea, Trump more or less is always confessing when he makes any kind of accusation.

Yes, of course! Huge difference.

Exactly what they're accusing Biden of doing with aid money right now.

Oh my god , those jerks. Lol

It's popular with me, like most people I get back more than I put in.

Not really, Trump made the rounds on a bunch of manosphere podcasts and if it wasn't for the articles telling me they were popular I wouldn't have known. There are many things outside of our experience that are popular.

Operation Generals Genital General Inspection for Operations is a go.

For me, this is one of the best albums of my lifetime. Perfectly timed in 2004, a great rock opera with an interesting story to tell from front to back. It's an album where the vinyl experience, where you can't skip or shuffle, is used to full effect. If you haven't heard this album, or haven't heard it in a long time, or haven't heard it back to front with a critical ear to the text and subtext, well, go listen right now.

In Canada we can also vote with attestation if we lack ID

Trump brought this up in the debate as something Biden/Harris couldn't get done. I was bothered by the fact that it's republicans and Trump judges holding it up. Like, Fuck you Trump.

And that's honestly too nice to the guy

So let me say, I agree entirely that the tariffs raise consumer prices. Trumps tarrifs plan is indeed insane, and his claims about it being paid by China or whoever are entirely ludicrous.

However, as a technical point, all taxes have a "tax incidence" that you can measure. The tax incidence is the percent of the tax on a corporation, good, service etc that is borne by an entity. It is not always 100% on a consumer except in the most trivial, "consumers pay for everything" kind of way. For competitive or reputational reasons a firm with substantial revenue might decide to absorb some cost, rather than pass it on. In those cases, the tax incidence is not 100% on the consumer, but shared by the business out of their revenue.

I promise though, Trump has the mind of a decomposing tangerine and absolutely could not speak about or understand the subtleties here.

Anyway, politically speaking, I'll never bring this up again. Please keep hammering Trump however you like and I'll keep my corrections to myself, lol.

The Krusty the Clown approach to threatening people.

Ugh, now all I can afford is "not me" to install them. Not experts that's for sure.

(this is not a joke, not really).

I was thinking night of long knives, considering who Trump says is out to get him.

And I'm thankful for that because, when the promotion was right, I bought one. Warhawk, MAG, Demons souls and KZ2. What a great generation of games.

This happened with the ps3, the chief at playstation at the time said we wouldnt be able to find them at retail. My friends and I made some fun snapping pics of them sitting on shelves.

We were way into the game news scene at the time.

This kind of stuff lands with Trump voters. I know from family Trumpers that seven year old trans kids on the gymnastic team is one of their top priorities. Not economy, they'll say economy, but ask them to define it.

Memes matter, ten years of impressionable Internet connected youth seeing memes of Trump as some sort of good guy has both normalized his damage and elevated him. It's fucking gross.

No, I have a lot of experience in liberal organizations and they are not, despite the memes, closer to conservatism than progressivism. It honestly makes me feel like most people on lemmy have never really worked with liberal groups.

The major differences between a liberal and a social democrat or progressive comes down largely to deciding when a market has failed and when to use government intervention, both Liberals and progressives are fine with intervention, only the threshold changea. We want the same things, mostly, but disagree on how to get them.

Conservatives, philosophical Conservatives anyway, won't typically even consider such a thing, and often do not even want the same things as Liberals or progressives.

This both sides same stuff just hurts progressive causes, because it sours mushy people with little to no real philosophy on voting for liberal parties. Those people flip flop back to Conservatives when they get angry and we lose the progress we've made, as is about to happen in Canada.
