Oh, they are. He’s got a pretty serious security team that doesn’t fuck around.

jordanlund , in Disney trips meant for homeless students went to NYC school employees' kids, officials say
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

You see what we pay teachers these days? They could be teachers kids AND homeless…

Havald ,

Cool motive, still nepotism

jonne ,

I bet the employees weren’t teachers.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It says staff members in the article, so likely not teachers. The one named definitely isn’t.

flicker ,

They weren’t teachers. They worked in an office to support homeless students. It was mostly the manager of said office, though she “encouraged other staffers” to do the same.

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

Conservatism is a plague of bigotry, terrorism and oppression. It always has been.

FlyingSquid , in Chipotle pilots new line of robots in California after $20 per hour wage.
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

How many decades before the purchase, installation and testing costs of these robots are recouped vs. that $20/hour wage?

Because I’m thinking it may not be all that cost-effective to just say “fuck you” to a minimum wage.

Big_Boss_77 ,

I honestly think it’s more the principle of the matter… they’d rather invest in robots to do this than consider paying those they view beneath them anything remotely resembling a living wage.

FlyingSquid , in Latest data show that recent immigrant population growth is not unprecedented and below historical peaks

Trump: “See? Unprecedented! They’re eating the dogs in an unprecedented amount!”

Quick note on the trump impressions: he thinks the word is ‘unpresidented’

FlyingSquid , in Sean 'Diddy' Combs arrested
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Sean Combs, known as Diddy

Also known as P. Diddy, Puffy, Puff Daddy…

Probably no surprise he’s been arrested with all the aliases.

piecat ,

Add P Diddle to the list

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

Why is this happening? Who the hell is calling in mass bomb threats? It’s not even exam time.

TransplantedSconie ,

Republicans.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Why is it happening?

Do you think it might have to do with one of the two main candidates for president, the one who used to be president, telling people that Haitians are “eating the dogs” in Springfield in a debate broadcast on all TV networks and livestreamed on multiple platforms?

alcoholicorn , (edited )

How does that translate into calling in bomb threats at schools though?

Is there some rumor that Springfield schools are teaching DEI wokeness and providing bottom surgery to Haitian children?

FlyingSquid ,

You really don’t understand how such a public racist statement would spur violent Nazis into action? In a country where violent Nazis are constantly doing violent things? Did you forget the violent coup that happened just because this same guy said that the election was a fraud? Do you think those same people would just sit idly by when Trump is claiming that people released from insane asylums in other countries are eating people’s pets? Those “insane” people have kids at those schools. I’m guessing the Nazis would call some of them “anchor babies.”

NounsAndWords ,

I think you’ve read more into it than the Nazis have (as they are typically too dumb to read). Things are very black and white for these people. “Immigrants is bad. Springfield is immigrants. Springfield is bad.” That’s as far as the thinking goes. Then lazy Neo-Nazis that have nothing to do with the situation do whatever they can to “hurt” the “bad people” and a very easy way to do that is to call in bomb threats. And since they are not just stupid but also unoriginal and they already heard someone else called in a bomb threat…I guess that’s what we’re doing now…

Drusas ,

Foreign actors taking advantage of the situation to cause chaos.

alcoholicorn , (edited )

That’s according to the republican governor.

Not saying it’s wrong, but he does have an incentive to divert attention to his insane base. Also it’s not uncommon to conceal where the call is coming from.

unexposedhazard ,

If i had to live under constant fear of getting murdered by some depressed student in a mass shooting, i would also start making up crazy shit to get out of school by any means necessary.

what a take

aniki ,

Tell the class how many crayons you had in your mouth when you typed all that out.

unexposedhazard ,

I mean the first half about having to live in fear is factually correct, so no crayons required. The second part is kinda far fetched but im sure it has happened. Also kids are fucking stupid and do shit like pull fire alarms for fun all the time. There doesnt even need to be a reason for people to call in a fake bomb threat. They might just be bored.

aniki ,

you have me confused for someone who gives a flying fuck what you think.

GBU_28 ,

Where did they say that?

Vorticity ,

This has nothing to do with scared students. This is the result of rhetoric from Trump and Vance about the large Haitian population in Springfield. Violent right-wingers are acting upon their dear leader’s words.

BetaBlake , in Political violence becomes America's new norm - but is still shocking

Not that I condone it at all BECAUSE I DON’T. But it’s the only way politicians would pass sensible gun control laws, is it they felt their lives were on the line. You can say sure as shit don’t care about the rest of us, or 5 year olds.

themeatbridge ,

They do have sensible gun control laws. Can’t bring a rifle onto a golf course. Can’t carry a firearm to political rallies or in government buildings. Funding for secret service and additional security is never lacking.

They have sensible gun control laws to protect themselves. The rest of us can get fucked.

Wonder how many came from outside the country.

yrmp , in Secret Service: Suspect in apparent assassination attempt did not have a line of sight on Trump, never fired his weapon

I’m just glad no one has succeeded. There is no telling what his deranged supporters will do if someone succeeds.

moon ,

Yes but in this case there was not even an attempt worth worrying about

yrmp ,

His supporters won’t see it this way.

Sam_Bass ,

Bitch and moan. Then mayyybe die

Tja ,

Nominate Vance for president, who is just as evil and spineless, but probably much more effective.

kent_eh ,

But also not nearly as able to energize the MAGAts.

yrmp ,

I mean via the official channels, you’re right. But you will immediately have conspiracy theories running wild that Hillary had Trump killed or something stupid. In a land where there are more guns than people and a small minority own them…the rest of us probably don’t want to see what happens.

Timothy McVeigh blew up a chunk of OKC for less.

@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

If Vance has shown us anything, it’s that he is just as stupid and feckless as his boss and maybe even moreso. Also the Trump base haaate him for being so useless to the campaign.

SilentStorms , in Secret Service: Suspect in apparent assassination attempt did not have a line of sight on Trump, never fired his weapon

I don’t think this would be getting around the clock coverage if it wasn’t for the first attempt

Fedizen , in Secret Service: Suspect in apparent assassination attempt did not have a line of sight on Trump, never fired his weapon

Assassination “Attempt” is just spin. At best this is a Assasination “Concept” thwarted

groupofcrows ,

He was just an assassination tourist.

OutlierBlue ,

The guy had a concept of a plan.
