Inflation can cool down all it wants, it’s reported year on year so prices are still much higher than 5 years ago while wages haven’t increased, deflation or huge wage increases would be necessary to make it so people would have their purchasing power back.
He got 150 days and five felony counts for staging a hate crime on himself. Let’s just keep all that in mind when Trump doesn’t serve a day in prison
i’m sure that a rich white well connected “christian” cis straight man not getting punished for the same crime that a gay black man does must be one of the many definitions of this country.
remove the word “black” and “white” from that sentence and it probably helps define the world too.
Yeah, I mean, Trump already got convicted of felonies and then nothing happened. Did he even pay a fine or something for that? I heard about the conviction and then… absolutely nothing.
No, because his SCROTUS cronies declared that anything he did as an “official act” couldn’t be prosecuted, so now it has to be determined by a lower court was were and weren’t “official acts” so they can then disagree and declare all of them “official.”
These convictions were for state level crimes that happened before he was president. So completely outside the scope of the official act thing.
That decision is probably going to be used to get him completely out of the classified documents case though, not that he really needed the extra help since that one was already being presided over by a crony judge he appointed.
The seller sends an item to the Amazon warehouse to be sold, Amazon fulfillment sends it to the buyer. Buyer returns it, and it goes back to the amazon warehouse and back into the store’s digital inventory. It gets sold again and amazon fulfillment sends it out.
You can run a store without using Amazon but it may be hard to compete. Amazon has identical products in warehouses all over the world so even if it’s not the specific item the seller sent to Amazon fulfillment, the customer can get same day delivery. This system also creates an intractible counterfeit problem.
I think you misunderstand. This is a business that uses the “fulfilled by Amazon” program, which means they never even saw the return. Amazon received the return, processed it, deemed it worthy of resale as a new item, and shipped it back out without them being involved at all. But they’re the ones that ended up with the black eye from it.
This is why Musk wants to defeat Biden. Biden’s billionaire tax on the rich…
Under Biden’s proposals, a 25% tax on those with more than $100 million would raise $500 billion over 10 years to help fund benefits such as child care and paid parental leave.
Buying politicians can get expensive. Wont you think of the poor billionaires that would have to cut down on their bribery if there were a wealth tax??
Buying politicians is depressingly cheap. Like, on the order of tens of thousands of dollars or less. Firmly out of reach for the average citizen but for the power players that’s one good night out on a weekend.
Crooks, who left behind no immediately available manifesto or record of the attack, unlike many other modern assassination plots or mass shootings. He was registered as a Republican voter and donated $15 to a Democratic-allied organization but did not maintain a large online presence.
Someone with the same name made the donation. At this point, we do not know if it was the assassin who made the donation, or an 80 year old with the same name.
ActBlue Charities Inc. is an American political action committee and fundraising platform established for serving left-leaning and Democratic nonprofits and politicians.
Federal Election Commission records show that a donor listed as Thomas Crooks with the gunman’s street address gave $15 to Progressive Turnout Project, a Democratic-aligned political action committee, on Inauguration Day in January 2021, when Crooks was 17.
Yeah! He’s only been held civilly liable for calling a woman a liar after she talked about how he raped her.
And he threatened that one woman out of testifying that he raped her when she was a kid, so that’s not a conviction.
He talked about “grabbing them by the pussy” but that’s only his own words!
We have multiple testimonies of trump raping kids with Epstein, his name shows up in the Epstein records a lot, there’s photographs of them together, and Trump talked about being friends with Epstein, but that’s like… So what? That could happen to anyone.
Most rapists also havent bragged to Howard Stern on his show about walking into beauty pageant dressing rooms unannounced to peep on young girls.
Most rapists havent been recorded bragging to Billy Bush about grabbing women by the pussy without their consent.
Most rapists arent on video dancing and chatting up Jeffery Epstein at their own club, pointing out a woman and saying “she’s hot” and later at that same party grabbing a woman and patting her on the butt.
Most rapists havent been convicted of defrauding people in order to steal their money to pay a pornstar to not talk about the extramarital affair he had.
Most rapists werent president when Jeffery Epstein died in prision despite being on suicide watch and under 24 hour surveillance. The tapes mysteriously dissapearring and guards not saying anything.
But Trump has done all that (except being convicted of rape, of course.)
California governor Gavin Newsom signed a first-in-the-nation law Monday barring school districts from passing policies that require schools to notify parents if their child asks to change their gender identification.
The law bans rules requiring school staff to disclose a student’s gender identity or sexual orientation to any other person without the child’s permission. Proponents of the legislation say it will help protect LGBTQ+ students who live in unwelcoming households. But opponents say it will hinder schools’ ability to be more transparent with parents.
What this is really about is protecting teachers from retaliation by bigoted parents. When kids grow up in a hostile household, teachers may be the only authority figures they feel safe to confide in.
Not having a mandatory reporting policy for gender identity/pronouns means that teachers do not need to betray the trust of their students to keep their jobs/don’t have to fear losing their jobs for keeping that secret in spite of the policy.
“Shit hawks…big dirty shit hawks…they’re coming Bubbles. They’re flying in low…swooping down…shitting on people and dragging em off to the big shit nest”
“We could call the cops, Richard, but you know where we’d be spending our weekend. In some… goddamned hot police station answering questions we don’t know the answers to.”
I get the feeling I'm the only person who doesn't use fingerprint readers (due to this and just some bad experiences with them not working right in their earlier days on phones).
The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that Musk said he is planning to contribute around $45 million a month to a new pro-Trump super PAC, dubbed America PAC. In donating to the PAC, he will join the Winklevoss twins, Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of the spy tech firm Palantir Technologies; and former U.S. Ambassador to Canada Kelly Craft along her husband Joe Craft, the CEO of Alliance Resource Partners, a coal producer.
A veritable who’s who of America’s douchiest rich assholes.
What I find weird is that the area where he accessed the roof was apparently a police staging area. Basically, the guy waltzed through a police staging area with a long gun and shot the ex-president.
I just spent a while googling it, and nothing looks conclusive at all. But looks like Snopes has it as false as least.
But as far as the downvote, just saying “you’re wrong” is not helpful in the slightest. Maybe include a source, or even just an explanation that there was some early misinformation going around, and doesn’t look likely at moment.
“But as far as the downvote, just saying “you’re wrong” is not helpful in the slightest. Maybe include a source, or even just an explanation…”
I’m sorry but first you are spreading false information and then you are telling the person who corrects you that they ought to provide you with sources to debunk your claims. You just seem like a lot of work for other people, now all these arguments
His reaction pretty much confirmed that it was a bullet. He touched his ear because he felt something and then he heard a noise. The brain took a while to make sense of it.
If a monitor exploded in front of him, he would’ve heard it before feeling the shrapnel and reacted completely different.
While I agree that he should be ridiculed for a statement like that, it’s obvious that the attendees at the RNC are supportive of that statement. To them, America doesn’t have deep-seated issues with race. Instead, America has the opposite! A system where minorities are favored and granted special treatment, while white people struggle to earn their fair share! (Please understand this is not my personal belief)
Herein lies the basis of the alt-right’s culture war BS. The entire thing is resolved by accepting that systematic racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, and other forms of discrimination against certain minority groups are alive and well, as well as accepting that that’s a bad thing. But most people don’t see anything past overt hate crimes (mainly assault) on the basis of social identity to be racism/homophobia/etc. Then, with that view, their rationalization becomes that all racist actions are on an individual level, that the individuals or groups perpetrating killings of minorities are the only problem and they’re exceptions which don’t appear enough to warrant a major response anyways, and as a whole society doesn’t have a problem with racism or sexism or whatever anymore and there’s not much society and the government can/should do to stop it. These people genuinely think that, and it’s easy to see how you jump from that to “<insert policy which addresses institutionalized discrimination> is discrimination against white/straight/cis/male people”. To them, it’s “systematic racism/sexism/homophobia doesn’t exist, and if it does, it’s not enough to be a big deal, so any correction to it is bigotry”.
Libertarians’ play on this says that the “free market” would stamp out bigotry because it would totally be unviable, because human beings are rational and the people with the most voting money wouldn’t support discriminatory business practices… since, again, the bigots are a few select people who the population would boycott. The class-based private education and lack of public education would totally mean more people would grow up to be less bigoted too. Making it illegal to discriminate in business would only hurt the poor business owners who want to ethically discriminate based on identity!
Then, on a different corner of politics, you have the leftists who genuinely take “no war but class war” as a description of what’s happening – it’s a phrase originally meant to invoke the idea that we shouldn’t be marginalizing groups or fighting any war except a class war, and that racism/sexism/etc. are useless infighting – but some (“tankies”) have taken it to literally mean that the only real oppression in our society is class-based, and “identity politics” and working on systematic discrimination are how the capitalists keep us distracted, so we shouldn’t worry about that.
I’ve seen the first view on Lemmy a lot in the past when it comes to specifically sexism – the site’s largest demographics (young nerdy men) makes it unsurprising, but it’s still a bit shocking to see considering the left lean of the site. I think it’s gotten a lot better ever since a few months ago though.
Yeah when they’ve been constantly lied to all their lives by fox news, this is what they think.
Republicans live in an alternate version of America that was curated by conservative propaganda to get them to vote republican. None of what they believe is true. They’re just mindlessly doing what they’re told without having to think for themselves at all. Sheep.
