rsuri , in ‘Clearly chicken you weirdo’: People respond to JD Vance sharing video he claims shows migrants grilling cats

“Another ‘debunked’ story that turned out to have merit.”

This is the most infuriating thing they do. They assume that any developing story is actually the most extreme version that favors their side. Then they ignore all evidence to the contrary and fish for any evidence that they can claim as confirmation, even if it doesn’t pass the laugh test. But they assert “It was confirmed!” with such confidence and shamelessness that it becomes easier for people to believe them, and eventually the media stops trying to debunk them.

Definitely not the first time this happened. If you wanna find other examples, look at anything where experts on the topic believe one thing but a majority of the American people believe the other. It’s pretty much guaranteed that the thing the American people believe originated as GOP propaganda.

I wish I had told myself that from 25 years ago before I went online and was exposed to these people with all the naivety of the socially underdeveloped autistic 17 year old that I was at the time. I often have to learn things in the hardest way imaginable.

modifier , in Vance: ‘Laura Loomer is not affiliated with the Trump campaign’

And whether you’re eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her policies.

Oh very interesting choice of contrasting meal. It isn’t contrasting Trump, who famously likes his hamberders, so I wonder what it is meant to contrast.

Do you think he might suggest watermelon for dessert when discussing the latter as a meal?

We all knew this was coming. I have never meet her. I don’t know her. Who is she again? The old Trump Gas Light.

FlyingSquid , in Trump is safe, his campaign says, after a shooting is reported at his golf course.
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Unless the NYT has new information, the gunshots were only reported as being ‘in the vicinity.’ This could mean completely outside of Mar-a-Lago and just a coincidence.

Here’s the AP article. Go with that: apnews.com/…/trump-shooting-gunshots-florida-f62f…

ccunning OP ,

…trying to burn through my gift links here 😅

From the article:

Teri Barbera, a spokeswoman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, confirmed that a shooting took place “on the grounds” of the Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach while Mr. Trump was present. A “person of interest” has been detained, she said.

Fair enough. Still pretty vague. I’m thinking this likely has nothing to do with Trump or they would be screaming about it already.

ccunning OP ,

Definitely a “developing story”.

/u/jordanlund linked a NYP article saying it was a secret service agent who fired the gun at the person of interest. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’m treating everything as a rumor at this point.

“Look, Laura Loomer is not affiliated with the Trump campaign. She said something about curry in the White House that I first read about this morning actually, because I knew that you would ask me about it…” [emphasis my own]

These guys are terrible liars. Between him and Trump, they sound like they have no idea what is going on.

Bluefalcon , in Walgreens to pay $106M to settle allegations it submitted false payment claims for prescriptions

Everyone wants AI, so make a system that scans for doctors, drug prescription, and frequency of prescription. (Above). Hire people to review doctors and accuracy (see above).

Do random sampling with people investing if incorrect. Make doctors upload prescription direct to a system that has the information protected from third parties.

People just go onto a site to request next dose after a safe period of designated time. Click the code associated with original package mail to house by USPS.

Hire people for support and accuracy of delivery. Pay all involved a livable wage with good benefits.

Either manufacturer or work with companies to supply effect low cost options with refund directed in R&D ( lower corporate tax rate or cash ).

Strong economy follows.

Shooter was a secret service agent firing at someone they thought had a gun. Suspect was arrested, no word yet if they ACTUALLY had a gun or not.

(I know, I know, NYP, but after going through 5 articles, this one seems to have the most detail.)

nypost.com/…/shooting-reported-at-donald-trumps-g…

“Initial reports suggested two people were firing at each other. However, sources said investigators now believe the Secret Service agent was the only shooter.”

According to that NYP article someone was a few holes ahead of trump with an ak47, secret service shot at them and they fled, dropping the gun. The suspect was then arrested in a traffic stop a 50 minute drive away from the golf course. I'll believe it when I hear it from a credible source.

Looks like they’re updating the article. The AK47 angle is new.

Trump doesn’t know JD Vance. He’s never met him.

Hegar , in Ditch and pitch: Alaska Republican Party passes resolution to end ranked-choice voting in November
@Hegar@fedia.io avatar

This article is bullshit from a disinfo website:

Alaska has been part of a push by Outside dark money coming from groups like UniteUs.org and FairVote.org to get ranked-choice voting in place in every state.

credo , in Ditch and pitch: Alaska Republican Party passes resolution to end ranked-choice voting in November

Alaska has been part of a push by Outside dark money coming from groups like UniteUs.org and FairVote.org to get ranked-choice voting in place in every state.

Someone explain how fairvote is “dark money”?

These groups understand the Republican voters, many of whom are not inclined to rank candidates.

Whoever wrote this attempted hit piece is an idiot.

But the “boring election” for Democrats turned into an electrifying election quickly, as the party of slavery defenders […]

Ah- that old horse again. Today’s party of confederate statues and rebel flags pointing fingers at 200 year old political positions.

Don’t read this trash.

AI_toothbrush , in Sweden Will Offer Migrants $34,000 to Go Home

Ah yes instead of spending 350000kr on education and infrastructure that helps immigrants(and everyone else)

Valthorn ,

That would be socialism, and the Moderates can’t have that, can they?

Jokes aside, more probably the Sweden Democrats demanded this in exhange for something else.
