  • Nobody hates and think as little of their base as Trump does. It's why he never misses a chance to sell them grifts and tells them the craziest lies. He sees them as an ends to a means.

    The Dems do have a bunch that could care less, but I don't think it's the overwhelming majority like the GOP. And it's also harder to get a party in lockstep when values vary widely, instead of just "Dear Leader tell us what you need of me".

  • The amazing part is when you stop and actually look at the numbers it is maybe a kid or 2 per district, when the GOP would make you believe these kids are replacing whole teams. It's such a non-issue (in the sense that the amount of trans kids in sports is a fraction of a percent) that the GOP has vilified so they can use it as a wedge issue in there ultimate goal of defunding public education and forcing kids all into a for profit private school system the Supreme Court can rule is outside of gov control. They can then begin indoctrination of all their crazy shit without issue while the people at the top make bank.

  • You don't have to use an AUR helper, you could build it all with makepkg, but the helper just allows you to save time searching, downloading, and building.

  • This time around he promised nothing outside of tariffs, and outsourced everything to Elon. And Elon is 100% there to dismantle, they don't plan to fix or add/contribute anything.

    It's amazing the destruction they have caused already and Donnie hasn't had to do anything but write his name in sharpie over and over.

  • The one thing we have going for us is that Don's dementia and age are going to increasingly make it difficult for him to hold his party together. And there is the chance one of those things will leave the GOP trying to field a new traitor to try and get the cult to consolidate around.

  • Trump runs all his stuff through shells to try and obfuscate who is behind them and funding them. He uses them for things like money laundering, tax fraud, and other illegal business practices.

    A quick example is Cohen setting up a shell company for Trump to funnel his Stormy $ through to hide Trump's identity as he was committing election finance fraud, and ultimately election interference.

  • I guess Mortal Kombat, Golden Axe, and Streets of Rage on Genesis, and Mario RPG on SNES. Not a lot of games that standout and hold up. There were a lot of games I played on my Genesis, but there were better games in previous gens and afterwards.

  • What do you consider "gen 4", because I'm guessing we may not be thinking the same if you consider the gba "gen 4" era.

  • I'm not a road engineer, but it takes more conditioning of the road around the hole to patch (due to thermal events and traffic speed - especially in the US NE for example). A poorly filled pothole doesn't remain filled very long if done poorly, but even if done well it may only last until the next winter. This then becomes the financial debate of patch vs replacement of road sections.

  • MS seems to have a lot of outages lately. Maybe they should put more of the IT budget in servers/staffing, and less in AI and Windows nonsense.

  • The immunity rate if fully vaccinated is 97%, but that still means 3% of people that did the right thing could die because of shithead conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr. Heard immunity only works if everyone that can does the right thing. We learned with COVID that many people would rather turn to conspiracy theories then science if it means they get a feeling of belonging to a group, even if that group is a cult.

  • I wish I could, but personally not knowing would be a greater mental load then having to process this run away train of fascism.

  • Except the means of his death is the conspiracy, this notion that he was murdered. This conspiracy helps shift the blame from Barr's [Trump's] DOJ to a "boogyman".

    The guy had been found previously trying to hang himself with a bed sheet and was treated and put on suicide watch (someone took him off). He was then put in a cell closest to the guard station and was supposed to have a cellmate as a way to deter further attempts. The facility he was housed in was also understaffed and not really suitable for such a high profile prisoner. His cellmate was then released and was not replaced despite knowledge that he was a risk, and part of a VERY high profile case claiming to have compromising information on many high profile people. The guards on duty that night were also had been forced to work mandatory overtime (again part of the understaffing).

  • Trump wants whatever Putin tells him. And right now Putin says no deal, and that he'll sell minerals to the US from Russian occupied Ukraine. Handing Ukraine over to Russia was always Trump's plan, and if he could extort precious resources from Ukraine before then even better.

  • They didn't have to kill him, it doesn't have to be a conspiracy. Barr's DOJ allowed a man in a VERY high profile case that should have been on increased watch commit suicide on the eve of his bombshell testimony and going away forever. They allowed him to take his own out.

  • I'd be absolutely surprised if Barr didn't do this after they gave Epstein a way out of prison and testifying.

  • Trump also being asked several times over the years and saying yes, then immediately remembering he is involved and backpedaling is a pretty good indicator.

  • I wish we could go back to the days when we got to see drawings and read the accounts of him just straight up passing out in court, and his lawyers doing everything they could to keep him awake. The best was giving him a pile of useless papers to riffle through like he was 3 and you just needed him to be quiet while on the call with your boss.
