  • Emphasis mine.

    Support for President Donald Trump's deportations has surged among Hispanic voters in the space of two months, according to a new poll.

    The survey, conducted by polling firm Cygnal between July 1 and 2, revealed that the percentage of Hispanic voters that strongly support the deportation of people in the United States illegally rose by 11 percent between May and July 2025.

    Now see, the first emphasis is not actually equivalent to the second. Therefore, the headline is false.

    In the first sentence of the article, they link to another of their own articles from July 4th which proclaims "Donald Trump Gets Polling Boost From Hispanics" wherein they reveal "Trump's net approval rating among Hispanic voters stands at -30 points, with 32 percent approving and 62 percent disapproving. That is up from a net approval of -37 points in May, when 26 percent approved and 63 percent disapproved."

    Sure, Trump is getting "boosted" by 4% more Hispanic voters deciding they like him at the same time 1% more Hispanic voters decided they dont.

    Oh yeah, and then at the end of the linked article they shill for DHS' app and cash offer? WTF, Newsweek?

  • Update: my hand hurts now, but in fact it is possible to lay down a pinky, then snap three times successively with ring, middle, then index, which makes three different snaps (descending in pitch).

  • I gotta say, surprised everyone is attributing the "snap" sound to hitting the pad of your thumb.

    All y'all veteran snappers, try this. Lift up your pinky, then snap. Makes a much higher pitched snap. Now lift up your ring finger, then snap. No snap at all. Your pinky and ring finger make a sort of tube, and your thumb is striking one end of it (the crevice between thumb pad and ring finger tip) to make a tone. I'm even able to smack that spot with a finger on the OTHER hand and make a (quieter) snap.

    Hope this helps.
