Haha yeah. I had started to write the sentence about him boasting about his deal making skills, but it felt clunky so I changed it. Clearly I didn't catch that I hadn't changed it to boost, but your right, somehow it works.

Ehh....whatever. TACO is going to TACO. It's all a pathetic shell game to boast his ego. And it's a bonus for him if it gets the news cycle to move on from the story about the Canadian national who died in ICE custody.

Are the immigrants the whit....I mean RIGHT skin color?? Cause this administration is filled to the brim with stable geniuses who are ✨ magically ✨ able to tell who is legal and who isn't. We should tottaaaaalllly trust their judgement without question, they just want what's best for the country, with absolutely NO ulterior motives.

/S

This is a disgrace. From an npr article I read about this the "evidence" of him being a gang member completely boiled down to because "we say he is." They claim their "proof" can't be elaborated on at all because it's sensitive national security information when this clown show administration has literally been discussing confidential military strategies in fuckin Signal.

They shit out the flimsiest of pretenses and their brainwashed base eats it up like it's goddamn caviar. Nope, it's literal shit.

But...but...Trump better for economy?!?! I was promised lower egg prices!!! This is clearly the fault of the Democrats. /s

Sigh

Trump and his White House is full of weak and pathetic crybabies. How anyone buys into his fake strongman image when he get so pouty and has temper tantrums over the stupidest shit is beyond my understanding.

Isn't it great how his reasoning is "well I personally didn't find it on a parody account so it must have been true!! :( " Fact checking? What's that?

I honestly find it fascinating that you view artists as the "rich kid narcissists" in comparison to AI proponents as more of an everyman. My personal experience is those the most engaged in AI stuff are college educated, often in STEM fields, silicon valley with money types, whereas the generally the working artists I know come from middle income or poor backgrounds. I don't say this trying to attack you, or invalidate your experience, I'm genuinely curious. Would you be willing to elaborate on why you view them this way?

Because AI bros love the smell of their own farts and they get off by convincing other people that they should also smell their farts. (Only partly /s)

But more seriously, I'd say it's just a symptom of the world we live in where there is tremendous pressure to commodify and commercialize everything in the most "efficient" way possible, including creativity.

I think Lemmy's general demographic skews towards techy early-adopters and lots of STEM background folks and it shows with topics like this. I'm not saying that's a negative thing, just that it's the vibe here.

Art is just such a broad topic, it gets messy. Plus I think the verbage around discussing it isn't as universally defined as in other topics. It doesn't always fit neatly into categories and boxes that can make it harder to have nuanced discussions.

As someone local to the area, it's telling that the drop box targeted is one of the more urban drop box locations in Clark County. The city of Vancouver itself leans blue, but goes red very quick once you get outside the city. This pisses me off so much, I've lived in Washington state since like 2006, and I'd never heard complaints about our voting by mail system from republicans until the big orange turd started his temper tantrum.

Since the fall of Roe v Wade they sure love to shout how "It's a state's rights issue." ...so let's demand the federal government reinstates more stringent rules for dispensing meds on ALL states because apparently teenage pregnancy is actually a good thing now and dis hurts my poor republican fee-fees. Iron clad logic. I might be a little impressed with the level of mental gymnastics these idiots go through if it wasn't so pathetic and harmful.

Maybe people actually are constantly crying around him?? ...Maybe their eyes can't help but water up because of his reportedly horrible body odor.

Trump's relationship with Project 2025 is giving Austin Power's "that's not my penis pump" scene vibes, but much less amusing.

The unfortunate thing is that I can attest to this whole charade is at least working on some conservatives (ie my dad) who has earnestly told me that Trump said he's not involved in 2025 and that he won't implement abortion restrictions at the federal level. So it's all okay!!!! And how that means that I should vote for Trump now....as if that was the one singular problem I have with the perpetual lying cheeto.
