If only he took your advice. More lives would be improved worldwide as a result.

But it's the way the founding fathers did it! Surely there haven't been any advances in technology and travel since then to allow for more sane and modern voting systems

Why do people still continue to use this shit site and then act surprised when this happens?

Like physically? Yeah, I'm down with that.

This is the way

You throw enough shit at the wall, some of it's about to stick. The rumors of this were around long before QAnon nuts came on the scene, same as the #metoo accusations

Pretty sure it's the patron goddess of the fyre festival

"I think it probably..."

1. You're a fucking surgeon general. You shouldn't base your opinions re: public health on what you "think" and "believe," but on science and facts
2. If you do have a hypothesis to that effect, then run some tests and studies and either prove it or disprove it and shut the fuck up
3. None of this is how mRNA works. It's a fucking messenger you disingenuous dolt

Should either be illegal or taxed so heavily that any such action would result in a massive loss on each property owned by these ghouls.

Absolutely. But it still doesn't invalidate my original point: this article was a vapid, superficial, and low effort attempt at journalism.

It's almost as if this is a discussion forum and I've been having a discussion with various commenters on the topic.

Let's try it this way. Based on your comment, I understand your argument structure to be like this (correct me if I'm wrong):

Election is coming up > democrats are running in the election > as part of the election strategy democrats are pushing a "talking point" about trump campaign dangling pardons and legal defense funding for his insurrection conspirators > trump had the chance to pardon them already but chose not to, so therefore he's lying to them > democratic party promises they broke re: abortion and environment when they had power are the same type of lie and therefore relevant to the discussion about trump campaign dangling pardons and legal defense funding for his insurrection conspirators in the current campaign...because they're both lies?

Surely you can see how you've had to construct an entirely different argument structure around the actual subject of discussion (trump campaign dangling pardons and legal defense funding for his insurrection conspirators) to try and build relevance? But even then it doesnt actually work logically.

Your original response was essentially "but what about Obummer?!" That's whataboutism. It's a logical fallacy.

you are literally blaming everyone but Trump for Trump's shit

I don't think that's a fair assessment of my previous statement there. There is a distinction between blaming everyone but Trump for his bullshit, as you read it but I never suggested, and arguing that this specific article does not in any way deserve our attention, which was my point. Not only because it's an old and played out take, but because pieces like this are equivalent of political frosting. The people who know he's a crook are going to continue to do so, and the people who don't think so are not reading this shit anyway.

Shut up, Mary, I want to hear OTHER PEOPLE talk about Donald Trump's bad shit while I completely ignore them and focus on you.

There's a difference between shit that he's done that's either illegal or in some other way actionable, and him just being a dick and a loser, which...like, ok yeah? He's still fucking up the election process and trampling all over the basic ideas of democratic governance regardless of how you feel about him on a personal level, and that's all this article is about: "he's a loser on a personal level, take it from someone who's personally related to him."

Wholeheartedly agree. As someone who lived through an ethnic cleansing, it disgusts me that military and economic decisions take precedence over human lives. Absolutely sickening.

Ok, but that's irrelevant to the topic at hand. It's whataboutism

But this is the 100th time they've put out a variant of this same article with Mary saying the same thing just in a different way. Also, for those who are too busy slobbing his knob, Mary's comments will be dismissed anyway. So all it does, imo, is offer yet another empty circle jerk opportunity for those who already agree with her sentiment without providing any new information or moving the needle in any way. It's lazy and vapid journalism at best and a distraction from his real and serious illegal activites that the Democrats should be hammering him on faily instead.

I'm not concerned about the downvotes. I do wish there'd be more engagement from people who disagree with my comment, however, as Lemmy is small enough to facilitate actual discussion compared to reddit or other similar forums. But it is what it is.

Obama is not running. Cheeto is. Try again.

Endless supply of US dollars and weapons, unwavering US military support, lifetime worth of unchecked power and brainwashing, zero consequences for previous genocidal actions...the list goes on and on. It's almost as if telling a group of state actors that they can do no wrong and any criticism of them is a hate crime emboldens them. Who would have though?
