Pyr_Pressure , in JD Vance says he was asked in front of his wife if he had 'any secret family' during vice presidential vetting

Why would they ask that in front of his wife? Do they actually expect him to say yes if it’s true when she is there?

Cort ,

I was guessing it was more among the lines of: we know you have a secret family, does your wife know and are you willing to lie to her face for us

Of course he would.

Good move from Harris.

What a silly weirdo.

NotMyOldRedditName , in Elon Musk's X sues advertisers over alleged 'massive advertiser boycott' after Twitter takeover

Didn’t he sue another company that did tests on the site to see if ads would show up beside hateful content, which showed they would, and that case ended up being dismissed?

Suing former advertisers may possibly not be the best way to get other advertisers to come to your platform.

The fourth pillar is the final pillar, right? So it probably has the solution.

A final solution, you might say.

FlyingSquid , in Trump tells Adin Ross he wants to ‘fire’ Black journalist who grilled him onstage
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

and I said, ‘You didn’t even say hello to me,’

It’s a media interview, you’re not coming over to her house for a friendly chat.

barsquid ,

I didn’t watch but based on Donald claiming she didn’t say hello I assume that she did say hello.

FlyingSquid ,

I don’t remember what she said, but it was a basic cordial welcome a journalist would give.

Edit: I can’t find exactly how he was introduced, but this is what he said after she asked him her first question:

“I don’t think I’ve been asked a question in such a horrible manner,” Trump replied. “You don’t even say hello, how are you.”

She didn’t say that to you because she wasn’t having a friendly chat with you, dumbfuck.

NotAnotherLemmyUser , (edited )

Found the whole thing that includes when they are walking out on stage: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgod-nqFEEc

Edit: There was a bit of hot mic somewhere nearby so you could hear a little bit before he sat down:

RS: “Hi Mister Trump, just take a seat over there, thank you.”
DT: “Uh, how are you? How are you?”
RS: “Good”

Music dies and mic turns on:

RS: “Mr President, we so appreciate you giving us an hour of your time. I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, sir. A lot of people did not think that it was appropriate for you to be here today. You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama saying…”

nifty , in Where Tim Walz Stands on the Issues
@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

If the republicans and neoliberals don’t ruin it with endless foreign conflicts, this might a great admin (if they win!).

Harris/Walz should run on a platform of implementing something like the Nordic model here in the states, or at least paving the path for it. The Nordic states are not “communists” but have reasonable social welfare and related standards.

States with social welfare have also been shown to be less susceptible to far right ideologies.

Edit Nordic model for reference en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_model

pound_heap ,

Nah, Nordic model is not a good choice. It’s all fine to drill some oil, collect a lot of taxes and give that money away to people as welfare, while enjoying innovations produced by evil liberal capitalists.

I can’t think of anything advanced after Nokia that is built in Scandinavian countries. No cars (Saab is dead, Volvo is sold to Chinese), no microelectronics, no innovative drugs. To be fair, they have IKEA and LEGO, but this is not what makes humanity progress.

I feel there is a lot of options on the left spectrum that is less radical but still beneficial for broad population. Think France or Germany as an example.

mercano , in Elon Musk's X sues advertisers over alleged 'massive advertiser boycott' after Twitter takeover
@mercano@lemmy.world avatar

Musk is suing under antitrust laws. I’m not sure they work that way. Antitrust laws prevent producers from consolidating and exploiting consumers. However, when it comes to advertising placements, the companies are consumers, not producers, and I don’t think a consumer advocacy group (which the World Federation of Advertisers functions as in this regard) is illegal.

I don’t know, I am not a lawyer, but it seems like Twitter is grasping at straws here.

jumperalex ,

I know right? I mean if they colluded to lower advertising prices through collective agreement that would be something. Especially if they had an internal forcing mechanism to ensure compliance.

But um, they set out voluntary guidelines they suggested everyone follow to protect each member’s own best interests, and decided to spend zero dollars to buy nothing, which is a far far cry from trying to spend zero dollars to buy something.

What an ultra-maroon.

Let’s also note that at any other time, Musk would be railing against antitrust laws.

Wait, so we’re fighting homelessness by checks notes just giving people homes?! That’s cheating! They’re just gaming the statistics!

Amazing how these guys come right out and tell their people “we want you to be cheated out of your money” and those people lap it up.
