FlyingSquid , in Donald Trump falsely questions Kamala Harris' race as he appears at gathering of Black journalists
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

“I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” Trump said while addressing the group’s annual convention.

What an utter waste of DNA. And that was only the start of all the racist shit he said.

SeaJ OP ,

I’m reminded of Jon Stewart the other day:

Two races in one person‽ If these people ever saw a Pizza Hut-Taco Bell, they’d lose their minds!

Das Racist already covered this issue. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIt2CdbBo_w

jiberish ,

Thank you. I watched this two times and now I have a better understanding of the combination pizza hut and taco bell.

Just a spaghetti western.

Nope, late 40s Hoosier (unfortunately). Someone just sent me that once and I laughed my ass off.

Cornelius_Wangenheim ,

Wait until they hear about the Kentaco Hut.

thefartographer ,

I don’t know, is Trump a flaming sack of shit or a racist liar?

😱 Something can be two things at the same time??? Like a billionaire and a fraud??? Or a candidate and a felon???

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

A thought:

If Trump thinks that Kamala Harris should claim she’s Indian because she has an Indian mother, then Barack Obama should claim he’s white for the same reason.

Too bad no one in the press will bring that up to him.

thefartographer ,

I never considered that!

By that same logic, I have been rumored to have slept with all of my friends from high school and every gamer with whom I’ve interacted online

TexasDrunk ,

I shoulda gone to your high school, apparently.

thefartographer ,

We woulda been friends!

TexasDrunk ,

Let the rumors begin!

thefartographer ,

I heard that at Jessica’s party, while everyone was playing 7 Minutes in Heaven, we were making out in her mom’s car and that our mustaches got tangled.

I also heard that we put gerbils in each other’s butts, which is ridiculous since we only used hamsters.

TexasDrunk ,

I keep my mustache far too short for them to have tangled. They’ll have to do better than that!

I do have to say that yours is nice and soft though. Do you condition it?

thefartographer ,

No conditioner! I just rarely bathe and am very messy with mayonnaise

TexasDrunk ,

I’m going to start using mayonnaise treatments on my mustache, but I need a shower all the time. I guess I can get a mustache hairnet and line it with plastic wrap.

That’s why you always smell so delicious!

thefartographer ,

Hairnet Mayonnaise Sack

Look out Butthole Surfers, there’s a new band willing to give Texans a bad name!

TexasDrunk ,

Joke all you like, I’ve got a band gig this weekend with some guys as strange as I am. The band name may change.

But we’re a bunch of middle aged rockers so I’m not sure we’ll be out there giving the whole state a bad name. Probably just Spring.

thefartographer ,

Spring??? Don’t worry, Spring doesn’t need any of your help to give it a bad name.

If Houston is Zac Efron, Spring is that intense stare he does in interviews that makes you wonder if he’s high or contemplating murder

TexasDrunk ,

You ain’t wrong, but the bars there are exactly my kind of fun. That’s why we play there. It reminds me a lot of my ex, actually. Dirty, loud, a little dangerous, and open to the public.

thefartographer ,

Should’ve had a cover charge

Translation:

“Don’t bother going out to vote for her, black people, she’s not actually black.”

If she wins, black Americans will have saved our asses AGAIN.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Which is interesting considering the criticism they gave Biden for the “you ain’t black” comment four years ago.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Well-deserved criticism. The sentiment of “You’re voting against your best interests” was correct, but the phrasing was terrible.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Regardless, what Trump is saying is hardly different.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

I think there is a difference, but I’ve seen your arguments with people on here and know I’m far outmatched! I’m gonna be like Trump debating Kamala and chicken out.

NOT_RICK ,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Black Americans have consistently been one of the greatest aspects of this country so that tracks.

nomous ,

It’s becoming increasingly apparent to most of us.

NekoRogue ,

This also feels like it’s implying some transphobic stuff, while also trying to paint the dems as mentally ill. “They don’t know what gender they are, now I guess they don’t know what race they are either!”

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I think you give that moron way too much credit. I think he honestly believes telling black people that Kamala isn’t black will work.

werefreeatlast , in Fox host demands video of JD Vance having sex with a couch

Aunty: Oh Vance! My favorite nephew! Come in come in! Sit on the couch with me! What brings you here?

Vance: nobody likes me because I wear makeup like women do and I like to fuck the couch!

Aunty: well worry no more! You can stay with us for as long as you like! There’s just one thing I need to tell you about.

Vance: what is it?

Aunty: your uncle and I have a house policy where we don’t wear any clothes indoors. Is that okay? I’m sure if we talk to your uncle, we can agree to let you fuck a couch too!

Vance proceeds to get complete naked. Uncle comes into the scene and the aunty is already naked too.

Vance: hi uncle!

Uncle: well hello! I see you are getting used to the rules of the house!

Aunty: yes. He also would like it if he could fuck the couch when he feels the need.

Uncle: no problem!

Scene cuts to Vance taking a shower. For more on this please refer to your favorite pornhub show.

KillingTimeItself ,

why did you write this?

you either write fanfic, and know how to shitpost, OR you consume a lot of porn, it’s one of the two.

werefreeatlast ,

I would go with the porn.

KillingTimeItself ,

makes sense, lol

Etterra ,

Is there a spitefic genre yet?

KillingTimeItself ,

probably, i think that’s just fanfic though. Idk if there would be a specific genre lmao. I’d support it though.

@Deceptichum@quokk.au avatar

“I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the Black population of this country, I’ve done so much for the Black population of this country,” Trump said.

He’s a parody of himself. If there wasn’t a real threat behind his existence, I’d happily do nothing but laugh at the ridiculousness of his claims.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I like how he said there were “black jobs.” I guarantee you that before someone asked him what black jobs were, he was thinking of things like doorman, shoe-shine boy, bellhop, maid…

Does that mean Trump is half Black?

EleventhHour ,
@EleventhHour@lemmy.world avatar

Funny you say that.

I was in a nasty argument with my mom last night about her use of the racist slur “illegals”. I told her that people can’t be illegal. She replied that shes not a racist and that they’re illegal because they broke the law. I shot back, “oh, so, since you got that speeding ticket, that makes you an illegal?” “No! They committed a felony!” So I said, “oh, so Trump is a 34 times illegal then?”

She said, “that’s different!”

“Why? Because he’s white? See, that’s why you’re racist.”

She screamed, “fuck you!” and hung up the phone.

lolrightythen ,

Sorry, yo. Good job on keeping it real

EleventhHour ,
@EleventhHour@lemmy.world avatar

She texted me later, saying I was following a “Marxist script”. I texted back, “oh, yeah? What script did Marx write that said brown people were ‘illegal’, but white people weren’t? Was it in the letter to Lincoln praising him for freeing the slaves, or in Das Kapital? Because I must have missed it. Why don’t you send me a copy of where you read that.”

She blocked me.

maccentric ,

I can’t talk politics reason with my folks either.

nulluser ,

Ooof. I’m so sorry. I’m so sick of what the political discourse in this country has become, and what it’s doing to people.

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein ,

That’s such a shame.

She was upset that you wouldn’t agree to a sane interpretation of her feelings - she’s resolving all cognitive dissonance in her favor, and feels persecuted when others don’t do the same. When instead she just needed to recognize that if verbalized logic made her feelings sound insane, that’s because maybe her feelings are the problem, and those feelings need more, not less, scrutiny.

Pretty sad that people are so far gone…

Being falsely convicted of a crime in central park…

NJSpradlin ,

To acknowledge your comment, to Trump being black in NYC meant that you were guilty.

lolrightythen ,

Are you referring to the good ole days? Back when Bernie was getting the shaft and it was impossible for Trump to win office?

I doubt that I’d have believed the outcome.

plz1 , in R. Kelly petitions U.S. Supreme Court to overturn sex crimes convictions based on statute of limitations

If SCOTUS strikes down the PROTECT Act, it will be a very sad day for the country. It will effectively overturn any conviction that Act was used to secure, though I think his case is probably the most prominent conviction to date. I think he’s only seeking reversal on the Chicago one to use as precedent for the New York one. Or to “try again” if that doesn’t work. When you’re facing 30+ years, can’t hurt to try, I guess…

Supermariofan67 , (edited )

Highly doubt that would happen. If anything, the current court would the project 2025 censorship agenda and support the Protect Act provisions that were already (correctly) struck down in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition (it was just that time’s edition of the overbroad “protect the children!!!” bill that did some good and some bad; most of what remains today and hasn’t been struck down is good though). It’s also not the law criminalizing CP so that could be where his argument might fail. (nevermind; he’s talking about the provision that extends the statute of limitations)

Krauerking , in Starbucks is reeling as customers go elsewhere, sales decline

I like good tea, not coffee.

So, you know, I have technically always been boycotting Starbucks I guess.

If people really want a caffeine and sugar fix I can’t wait till someone tries a chain of yerba mate places. North America is gonna be wired.

Cethin ,

Well, anyone who wanted good coffee wasn’t going to Starbucks either.

rekorse ,

Does chai tea latte count as coffee or tea? Love those things. Also just chai tea too though. Coffee is pretty gross IMO but ive never had good coffee.

xmunk , in UAW endorses Harris, giving her blue-collar firepower in industrial states

I think it’s clear that Harris is a better labor pick tha Trump but I think it’s stragically a mistake to do this before the convention and give up the leverage to force a better party platform. There may be things happening behind the scenes but Democrats have a long history of being underwhelming on labor issues (obviously they’re still better than the GOP though).

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Biden went down to the UAW picket line and addressed them personally. I don’t think it’s really all that surprising that they backed his personally chosen replacement.

NewNewAccount ,

Biden also effectively sided with industry and against the labor unions in the 2022 railroad labor dispute. He’s not exactly squeaky clean here.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Okay, but we’re talking about the UAW. He did them a solid, they’re doing one in return.

Rolder ,

Not entirely correct. They did force the railroad workers back to work yes, but, Biden continued to work with them after the fact and got them the sick days and shit they were looking for

NewNewAccount , (edited )

Sick day. One. They were asking for fifteen.

curbstickle ,

Incorrect.

4 + 3 convertible was the followup, the one day plus 14% pay increase and a further 24% guaranteed over 5 years was the early resolution.

NewNewAccount ,

Oh good to know! Thanks for info.

njm1314 ,

I just I want to thank you for helping correct that stupid piece of misinformation they get spread so much on here.

NoneOfUrBusiness ,

Biden continued to work with them after the fact and got them the sick days and shit they were looking for

Nope. He only got them sick day(s). They wanted other things, mainly safety features so trains don't crash as often. The sick days part was the most emphasized because it's easier for laymen to understand, but Biden did not give them what they wanted.

Rolder , (edited )

I’m not certain what exactly they were originally looking for but my point is more that trying to paint Biden as some anti union traitor is plain not factual.

TexasDrunk ,

So he didn’t get them the 14% raise with another 24% over the next 5 years? Did I dream that?

Thebeardedsinglemalt ,

This was during a time when the US was finally getting back on its feet and “supply chain” excuses were starting to fade away…he did everything he could to prevent those shutdowns from crippling us again.

Hildegarde ,

As good as strategic endorsements are, its probably not feasible given union’s structure in the us. I’m not a UAW member, so I may be misinformed on specifics, but these things are usually done as a vote at a union convention, by union members who are volunteering to be a voting delegate on top of their normal job.

Scheduling an emergency meeting to decide on endorsements pending a commitment from a candidate is not something you can reasonably do, especially when the voting membership are volunteers. Unions are democratic organizations, and can’t act quickly enough for strategic endorsements like you propose.

Democrats in the white house means better members on the national labor relations board. That alone is enough to justify an endorsement even without any legislative concessions.

Moobythegoldensock , in Fox host demands video of JD Vance having sex with a couch

Hey guys, it’s time to mature up and admit that Vance probably did not have sex with a couch.

He made love to it. Also, the couch was totally asking for it.

Jimmyeatsausage ,

You know the couch was into it… When the couch doesn’t want it, nature has ways of just shutting all that down.

Moobythegoldensock ,

I heard the couch was dressed like a total loveseat, and wasn’t even wearing a cover.

Nfamwap ,

Lets call it what it is, folks. It was rape. He raped that couch. Just because the couch had a suggestively placed throw, doesn’t make it OK.

Adderbox76 , in Bodycam video shows fatal police shooting of 4-year-old Illinois boy and man holding him hostage

How much do you want to bet that the cop would not have taken the shot if the hostage had been a white kid.

Another dead black kid to an American cop is just killing them pre-emptively to save time later.

Fucking cops are scumbags, and body cams don’t seem to be making any difference because they just don’t care if they get caught; they’ve got the union protecting them.

Phegan , in Donald Trump falsely questions Kamala Harris' race as he appears at gathering of Black journalists

Yes. Please keep being weird and racist. This is exactly how you demotivate all the normies from voting for you.

otp ,

…do normies even vote for Trump?

Phegan ,

Yes. There are a decent swath of votes who vote Republican but aren’t tuned in super well. Studies show that only about 30% support trump directly. That leaves 15% to 20% of his voters who simply vote the party or vote based on “it’s better for my wallet”

By running on racism and other distasteful platforms, it will chip into that normies pool, and they are likely to not turn out. Not all of the normies will see it or be affected by it, but if even 5% of the voting population chooses to not vote over voting for trump, it will be a disaster for trump and down ballot Republicans.

otp ,

aren’t tuned in super well

I don’t think being completely ignorant and oblivious to the world around them for ~8 years is “normal”, lol

Nor is “It’s better for my wallet”, imo

Tylerdurdon , in Boeing announces new CEO amid ‘challenging’ year.

Is this guy an engineer? My guess is not and that the shenanigans will continue. Boeing’s record of old? (before their reputation took a huge nosedive) Engineering at the CEO position all the way. Coincidence? I think not.

rooster_butt ,

He started as a Mechanical Engineer but moved up quickly into management track. But background is for sure engineering.

Tylerdurdon ,

I guess we’ll see if he takes moves to right the ship or if the sellout continues.

overload ,

That’s promising at least. A CEO of a company (that builds planes) having a finance background seems nonsensical, but what do I know.

smb ,

but moved up quickly into management track

Does not sound at all like an engineer, more like “not an engineer”.
