  • They aren't wrong! Carter may have been the best president post office, but he is also the American most responsible for the religious dictatorship that took over Iran and much of the middile east.

    I'm a leftist, but after finishing "Reading Lolita In Tehran" and watching the PBS documentary "Taken Hostage" I understood completely how Reagan defeated him in a crushing landslide. The outpouring of grief after Carters death was difficult to stomach understanding the damage he had done. Yes the man built houses and gave generously late in life, but that's because he knew he had a lot to make up for it. The man destabilized several nations, including his own, with entirely foreseeable negligence.

  • Jack Daniel's is a Tennessee company, which voted overwhelmingly for Trump (60+%) in 2016, 2020 and 2024.

    "But why did they eat MY face!?!"

  • Biden's approval rating went negative in September 2021, around seven months after he was sworn into office, while for Trump it's been just over a month.

  • It couldn’t come at a worse time for the company

    Neither could their capitulation to Trumps bigoted rhetoric.

    I got a lot of flak and eye rolls from my liberal friends a few years ago when I, as a queer woman, would criticize their Rainbow Capitalism. But Target is not an ally, they never were. They are simply a corporation that got some easy publicity in liberal spaces by showing the bare minimum decency.

    Fair weather allies, aren't.

  • It doesn't sound like you do. Problem with authority and a problem with abused authority are two very different things. If you worked well under a kind boss then it's clear you don't have a problem with bosses, just with those that are demanding, commanding and micromanaging. Sounds to me like healthy boundaries for your mental health.

  • She is demanding before she is even your boss. It will only get worse from here.

  • There is nothing to gain from this weird BS rhetoric, but plenty to lose.

  • "You can go right to heck. I don’t think I will lose re-election based on you screaming at me"

    And I don't think I will vote for a representative who feels representing my interests is a burden.

  • Millions of followers she has on x and meta

    The ones that wouldn't see a post on Mastadon? Even if an article was made about a Masta post, which it wouldn't be, only a small fraction of her X followers would see that article. Far less than the existing followers she already has.

    Look, you're being intentional obtuse but I understand way. I wish more people would use defederated platforms too, but that doesn't chang Le the fact that a politician has am existing way of mass communication. Being mad at her for using it is at best, unproductive.

  • No one would notice if she posted on Mastodon, it's just not big enough for news sources to check on regularly. This article literally wouldn't exist.

  • Immediately take the blue pill.

    If I'm the one who has to save the world than it's already fucked. I'd rather not watch.

  • Nonono don't you see? As the benefactor of oppression, you would be oppressing me by mitigating those privileges. Two wrongs don't make a right so we now need to accept that the damage is done and just accept the world where white cis het men just have more safety, status and options.

    /s

    Fucking sad that people actually think this shit.

  • We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.

    Democracy dies in the free market.

  • Yeah, odd inclusion. Duckduckgo is indeed a search enginge, but it's essentially just a front end for Bing.

  • I'm an atheist so I don't actually belive in reincarnation, but it's a nice idea. I get the appeal.

  • This is exactly like how Elon asked Twitter employees to print out "last 30 days of your published code for review". It's such a laughably insane way of doing things that only someone with a childs understanding of the world would even think to ask for.

  • Well sure, but who exactly is saying he is a horrible person, and he is, because of the name? This is just an interesting factoid about the type of environment Elon was raised in.

  • Cats domesticated humans. Mine watches me clean her litter box. It's clearly a power play.

  • Now normally, I am on the side of yelling shit at police.

    “You were brave on Twitter,” Tarrio said to one of the officers as he continued to follow them. “You guys were brave at my sentencing when you sat there and laughed when I got 22 fucking years. Now you don’t want to look in my eyes, you fucking cowards.”

    Fanone, a former Capitol police officer, then turns and tells him: “You’re a traitor to this country.”

    “They are operating under the assumption that, if they commit violent criminal acts on Donald Trump’s behalf, that he will pardon them for future violence,” Fanone said. “These are insurrectionists, let’s be very clear.”

    But I am unabashedly on the cops side here. Enrique, and the rest of the proud boys, are exceedingly huge pieces of shit.
