Reverendender , in Biden moves to crack down on Shein and Temu, slow shipments into US

Sounds good. I was fooled by Temu, but I stopped using it when I found out what a privacy nightmare it is.

Lock the orange shit stain up!!!

SGGeorwell , (edited ) in At least two Saudi officials may have deliberately assisted 9/11 hijackers, new evidence suggests

And remember Prince Bandar was super best friends with the Bush family. They called him “Bandar Bush.” And never forget Bush Sr sat on the board of Carlyle Group with siblings of Bin Laden. The stench of criminality is inescapable with these people. Like a fart that never leaves your nose, the Saudi/Bush regimes are a fetid sewer system of putrefying shit.

I got a lot of negative comments I could make; I will not. The only comment I will make will be that I hope he has evidence it isn’t.

RoidingOldMan , in Black man found dead against tree with rope around his neck in NC: 'Not a lynching,' sheriff says

I can see why the sheriff doesn’t want to rush to call it lynching when there isn’t evidence of lynching specifically. BUT it appears to be a horrific and violent crime that surely should be their first priority. Sheriff’s statement is downplaying the whole thing.

Maeve ,

No defensive wounds, if the sheriff''s office isn't lying.

saltesc ,

Well, they themselves are bringing in the SBI and Attorney General’s Office. If they’re lying, they just fucked themselves hard for no reason.

It seems they’re actually being extremely thorough.

Well yes if they had said “by technicality this is not a lynching, but it certainly smells like one” I don’t think we’d be thinking the sheriff is fucked in the head. But he didn’t say that

ColeSloth ,

There are 50,000 suicides a year in the US and only 22,000 murders, but y’all suspect it’s more likely a guy with his feet on the ground, a rope not even tied, no defensive wounds, and a rope he bought himself, is a murder victim instead of the far outnumbering suicides.

RoidingOldMan ,

What was the rope for if it was a suicide? Seeing that we know he wasn’t hung by it.

ColeSloth ,

What do you mean we know he wasn’t hung by it? What gave you that idea? The rope was tied to a tree and he was hanging. Just not so high that his feet couldn’t be on the ground. Read up about how Kung fu star David Carradine died.

@match@pawb.social avatar

you thinking he choked himself to death with an untied rope?

ColeSloth ,

Yep. 21 year old truck driver…probably did it accidentally just like David Carradine did.

Figure he thought wrapping it a few times around his neck would just come undone if he accidentally blacked out and let it go. Sounds like it didn’t.

saltesc , in Black man found dead against tree with rope around his neck in NC: 'Not a lynching,' sheriff says

This should be an interesting one for seeing who reads articles and who reads just headlines.

Mog_fanatic , (edited )

So… Pretty much everyone then? Lol

Now I’m actually wondering what that percentage would be like.

mctoasterson , in Trump ally Laura Loomer called herself ‘white advocate’, audio reveals

This lady looks like a GoT style witch. I guess Trump is Stannis in that scenario, only with less charisma.

x00za , in Springfield, Ohio faces 2nd day of bomb threats after Trump ‘eating pets’ rant

USA politics are truly something to behold.

It’s too hard to accurately put into words how it looks from the outside.

The closest would be that it’s an absolute joke and the whole world laughs at you.

Simulation6 ,

Fair enough. To be honest there is a lot of politics in over countries people in the US laugh about.

x00za ,

Yeah but nothing compares to the US.

Badeendje ,
@Badeendje@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know anyone laughing though. I do know a lot of people that look at it and worry. The blatant lying, the calls to violence, the open fascism, cult like following… If this tips the wrong way, the children of the future will be learning about jan6 and what is to come like we learn about the night of the long knifes.

The example Trump is teaching the whole world is that there are no consequences if you just double down and keep saying insane shit while throwing your weight around. And even federal judges will bend for you à

x00za ,

I know a lot of people who laugh at it, but then again, I’m not from the US.

And Trump isn’t really teaching the world anything. If he’s teaching anything it’ll be how the US allows this dumpsterfire.

arefx ,

It’s not funny from where I’m sitting. (On a toilet in New York)

x00za ,

“Problems” are always enhanced by politicians. Look at where you are in life, it’s actually quite beautiful compared to what they try to make you believe. It even has toiletpaper.

roguetrick , (edited )

And you may find yourself in a beautiful bathroom, on a beautiful toilet

And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?

superkret , (edited )

It’s like watching a drunk gorilla in a weird dress stumbling around, doing ridiculous things while acting tough.
It would be funny, except you’re stuck inside the room with it, it’s holding a rocket launcher, and half the people in the room with you are imitating its moves.

Great news!

some_guy , in Arkansas’ gov says Medicaid extension for new moms isn’t needed. Advisers disagree

Why would we offer healthcare to a woman after we’ve forced her to have a baby? That contradicts all our reasons for making her have the baby: keeping her from participating in society, out of the workforce, and constantly in debt despite not wanting her to work. -Repubs

BigMacHole , in Trump ally Laura Loomer called herself ‘white advocate’, audio reveals

Her being Trump’s Right Hand is PROOF that Republicans are NOT Racist!

some_guy , in Trump to unveil crypto project amid scams and fears of ‘huge embarrassment’

“It’s equitable. It’s collateral anyone can get access to and do so instantly,” he said. “I don’t know if people realise what a shake up that is for the world of banking and finance. I hope we can help change that.”

Oh, cool, they’re revolutionizing finance! Gotta fleece the supporters a bit more before potentially losing the election.

“Get ready as we unveil our plan to Make Finance Great Again,” the Telegram post stated. “This is a landmark event you won’t want to miss! Let’s make history together.”

Oh, cool, this is gonna be historic. Gotta make the broke MAGA supporters a little more broke and in debt. Did you see how poorly DJT stock is doing? But it went up when he said he wouldn’t sell, which I’m sure comforts the people who bought when it was twice as much.

Having previously dismissed the world’s leading cryptocurrency as a “scam”, Mr Trump told the crowd at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville that he would create a “national bitcoin stockpile” from seized criminal funds, as well as “immediately appoint a bitcoin and crypto presidential advisory council”.

Oh, cool, he takes this seriously. Gotta have someone in government make sure there isn’t any regulation.

To be honest, while I’d prefer healthcare for everyone, I know we’re not getting it. And because I’m jaded and convinced that his followers are filled with hate, I’m ok with them getting hurt by him. I just resent that he profits in the process.

thanks_shakey_snake , in Traveler ordered to pay more than $5,000 in fuel costs after flight diverted due to bad behavior

Neither the man nor the airline was publicly named, nor was it specified exactly what he did to earn such a hefty penalty.

Why the hell not? I feel like it’s weird for this information to not be public in a case like this-- In this same article, there are three examples of other incidents where the details are known.

Phrases like the passenger “was disruptive,” and “It’s far simpler to obey the directions of airline staff than cause unnecessary issues, which can end up hitting you in the hip pocket” seem weirdly euphemistic to me.
