xc2215x , in Ohio GOP Gov. DeWine says 'at least 33' bomb threats prompt Springfield to begin daily school sweeps

That is an insane number of these threats.

Chozo , in Conservative editor backtracks after seeming to use n word regarding Haitian migrants

I'm gonna be honest, this is a stretch. I watched the clip. Whatever he was about to say definitely sounds like it was starting with an M, not an N. The shape of his lips are closed, which you'd see with an M sound and not an N. With the context of what he's saying, it really sounds like he was trying to say "migrant" and "immigrant" at the same time.

Don't get me wrong, this dude's a dipshit for dozens of other reasons. But there's nothing here this time. This really doesn't seem to be worth any amount of energy.

Chozo ,

There's so many real examples of conservative racism out there. You don't need to make up fake ones.

This is the exact same sort of shit conservatives do whenever Biden drops some elderly language. It's gross, and needlessly desperate.

BINGO. the most frustrating part of dealing with these types of commenters is that they always lack the awareness to see that they’re operating in the same way that the bad-faith repubs do.

There’s so many real examples of conservative racism out there. You don’t need to make up fake ones.

Yep. Like, goddamn. Vance admitted he made up the story. Theres so much racism baked into this ENTIRE news story, that focusing on someone misspeaking is missing the forest for the trees.

Maggoty ,

You mean like perpetuating the myth that immigrants are eating pets?

dhork , in New details of Trump family crypto project released, including who can buy in

The equity structure for these tokens will be that 20% of the project’s tokens are allotted to the founding team, which includes the Trumps, 17% of tokens are set aside for user rewards, and the remaining 63% of the coins will be made available for the public to purchase, said founder Zak Folkman.

I don’t think there’s any guarantee at all that all 63% of the coins “allocated to the public” will be released at first. They will probably release a fraction of that, and the constrained supply will not be enough to meet the demand from the Saudi and Russian governments looking to funnel money to Trump.

So the price will zoom up, and then they will decide whether to sell their own stash or more of the public stash into that surge. The end game is to harvest as much cash as they can from these foreign actors. And if any loyal Trumpists happen to lose their piddly life savings in the meantime, that’s a chance Trump is willing to take.

They just need to get ahead of the curve.

Take random ass rumors from social and claim they are spreading it.

Not like the pet eating but really crazy conspiracy shit.

Or make them apologize for thier lies and project them JUST as they start spouting lies.

davad , in Boeing strike: bosses bruised, blindsided and on brink of crisis

Does anyone have concrete info on the offer and why it was rejected? Reading between the lines, it sounds like some of the issues were:

  • 24% is a lot, but doesn’t bring them back to where they were 16 years ago when their last general wage deal happened
  • Contract reduces or removes performance incentives, which might reduce take-home pay overall
  • Some employees are mad that their pension was taken away a decade ago
  • They don’t trust Boeing to keep it’s promise about building the next commercial jet in the region

Anything else?

eldoom ,
  1. The 25% raise is actually a 13% raise then 4% more each year. This barely keeps up with the rate of inflation and isn’t a real raise. They are also trying to increase the rate at which they cap out their pay.
  2. They are trying to fight the mandatory overtime which is understandable.
  3. Yes the pension they definitely want their pensions back.
  4. This is all about job security. They don’t want Boeing to make a plant somewhere else where it’ll be cheaper to pay the employees and such.

Reminder for every American reading #1:

If you are not making 30% more than you made in 2020 you got a paycut.

And Trump is out here doing a fascist coup with fascist thugs, saying he’s going to be a dictator on day one, saying after this election “you won’t need to vote anymore”. Then there’s that whole Project 2025 thing. Uhhhh….

FlyingSquid , in More than 30 bomb threats made in Springfield, Ohio, after false pets claims
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve said this more than once, but… when people start actually getting murdered, will they keep doubling down on the racist lies?

MagicShel ,

Yes. For proof, look at when cops murder people.

@psvrh@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes.

They’re hoping for a Reichstag Fire moment where they can win control during the chaos.

barsquid ,

Yes, they want the murders. They want them as government-run pogroms.

towerful ,

It’s all amendment rights until it’s one of the racist fucks that gets murdered.
Then the police get military equipment to deal with the rising crime rates.

ASDraptor , in More than 30 bomb threats made in Springfield, Ohio, after false pets claims

I’m sorry but I don’t understand the correlation.

I mean, let’s, for a brief instant, accept that immigrants are eating pets. For a moment, let’s consider that the nonsense claimed is true and some people are eating dogs or cats.

What are you achieving by making false bomb threats? What’s the logic behind that? What are you solving by calling to say there’s a bomb in the school? Will these threats stop people from eating cats? Will they solve the “problem” in any way?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Nazis just want to kill people. Also, you’re killing “anchor babies,” so it’s fine.

The question I have is why they would eat cats. They don’t eat them in Haiti. They have jobs in Springfield, so they aren’t starving. None of them will explain it.

mosiacmango , (edited )

The initial racist Facebook post had a cat in it. That was “my neighbors, daughter, friend” level of made up, but not even that. When the neighbor was contacted by the press, it was actually “a friends aquantance.”

Its cats because a racist 3 times removed from the racist poster of the viral story decided to make it cats. Just racism brain filtered through more racist brains.

brbposting ,

Can’t entirely blame her for the entire arc of this silly thing because there were certainly willful instances of people sharing misattributed footage. I’m thinking of the body cam of the American woman who killed a cat with her bare hands.

A US citizen, but! she wasn’t white so might as well call her an immigrant having a snack.

There was also the guy with the goose. Turns out he was a DNR employee cleaning up roadkill. But, again, black therefore Haitian.

Even the redditor who shared that photo said oops, didn’t know it was going to be weaponized!

RE: the identity of goose guy [Snopes], I see comment from the Ohio DNR, but seems he’s unidentified at this time

Bold of you to assume there was any logical thought process behind it at all.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

If they were rational, they wouldn’t be racists in the first place and they certainly wouldn’t listen to the guy talking about Haitians eating dogs.

Timothy McVeigh thought he’d bring about the great white revolution by bombing the Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Turns out he was just fucking nuts, as was his accomplice.

sharkfinsoup ,

If you read the article, they mention how some of the threats are coming from other countries. So while some of it may be dumbass racists thinking they’re achieving something, a good amount of it just comes down to foreign powers sowing discord and election interference. Calling in a bomb threat related to a politically divisive topic is a pretty low effort thing to do if you’re a rival superpower.

thefartographer ,

Something something outsourcing calls and other Indian stereotypes

homesweethomeMrL ,

Indian, Macedonian - whatever it takes

ayyy ,

There’s no way to know that for sure. It takes less than 5 minutes to buy a VoIP number in another country.

sharkfinsoup ,

True and I certainly don’t doubt that there are plenty of idiots at home who think that calling in a bomb threat to a school will accomplish something. But it’s also very easy to call in a bomb threat and for a politically charged situation like this, it would be a no brainer for a foreign state actor to take advantage of the situation. It costs them next to nothing and further fuels the political divide within.

If there’s dozens of bomb threats being made to the same schools, I would more surprised to find out that rival superpowers aren’t behind at least one or two.

solsangraal ,

everyone needs to stop living life with the assumption that things need to make sense to republicans

homesweethomeMrL ,

I’ve been saying this for THIRTY YEARS

givesomefucks ,

The people doing this are the absolute dumbest trump supporters.

Like, go to a rally, grab 1,000 trumpets, and find the stupidest one there.

That’s the quality of people who do this. They couldn’t explain how it’s supposed to work either.

They’re mad, and this is what they do about it. Because they’re too goddamn stupid to do anything else

someguy3 ,

There’s no logic. It’s just anger and hatred spilling out.

kandoh ,

Punishing people until they realize you’re right is a hallmark of conservative dads.

The bomb threats will continue until the normies realize immigrants aren’t worth having, I will make their lives so difficult and annoying that they will be forced to accept my worldview just to get me to stop.

BossDj ,

They’re using intimidation and fear in an attempt to destabilize the community. Maybe there’s a word for that…

0x0 ,

Maybe scaretors or fearmongers… oh, I know, horrorists!

kent_eh , (edited )

What’s the logic behind that?

Your confusion stems from expecting these MAGAts to be acting logically, rationally, or with any more thought than a mindless knee-jerk.

Jakeroxs ,

I’d suggest it’s directly in response to the police of the city stating there was no evidence to support Trumps claim, rather then just rolling over, now they get to investigate a bunch of bomb threats, maybe in the future a police department won’t “speak out against” a claim Trump makes due to fear of similar harrasment

eran_morad , in New details of Trump family crypto project released, including who can buy in

lol at the fucktards who will buy this shit. But let’s recognize the reality that this is just another mechanism for putin to finance his tool.
