KammicRelief , in Donald Trump says he will flee to Venezuela if he loses election [Newsweek]

Can we get that in writing?

The GOP ticket is led by a sexual predator who a jury found “‘raped’ [journalist E. Jean Carroll

Meanwhile, the Democratic ticket is led by a woman who chose “Freedom” by Beyoncé as her campaign song

Okay, but what about women’s rights to health care? Do they have legislative priorities? Which one of these candidates is willing to stack the court or assign reproductive rights lawyers to the DOJ? Any forthcoming executive actions? Policies? Anything?

MAGAt mad!

Was it really that hard to read the whole sentence?

declare she stands for “the freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body.”

Okay, so what does this means as actual policy? Is she appointing the head of NARAL her AG or is she just going to put a bumper sticker on Air Force One?

madjo , in IDF uses Gazan civilians as human shields to inspect potentially booby-trapped tunnels

The IDF considers themselves Übermenschen? Where have we seen that before?

Chespirito , in Trump campaign forced to pay North Carolina city $82k in advance for rally

I just don’t understand why people keep believing this man is going to pay his debts. This is the same guy that declares bankruptcy like it’s a sign of honor.

AA5B , in The big question touching a nerve this election: "Can my husband find out who I am voting for?"

How is this a big question? Isn’t this common knowledge, one of the first things you learn about voting?

learn about voting

these are fox news households were talkin about.. they want less voting, not more

Today ,

Voting is not something we do everyday or for most people even every year. Sometimes Democrat and Republican primaries are held in different rooms or at different locations, So if this is your first time or that’s all you know, it’s a real question.

Delta_V ,

The polling places in some rural municipalities are literally Masonic lodges where they make you announce out loud to all in attendance which primary you want to vote in.

revelrous ,

Wait. There are places where your primary party is not public knowledge when you vote? Fuuuck. (it’s usually a fire hall, not a lodge in my experience.)

aesthelete ,

My parents still vote at a fucking gun club.

BenVimes ,

I’ll fully admit to being completely ignorant about voting the first time I did it. I was politically disengaged for moody teenager reasons, but my parents forced me to go to the polling station anyway. I didn’t care to vote for any of the candidates, but was also worried that I would get in trouble if I spoiled my ballot because I hadn’t paid attention in civics (again, for moody teenager reasons).

lolcatnip ,

They definitely made a big deal about it when I was in elementary school.

nondescripthandle , in The big question touching a nerve this election: "Can my husband find out who I am voting for?"

The fact that people put up with partners that make them wonder this is not great.

Many marriages are still fundamentally financial arrangements. Living together is cheaper, especially with kids. And when you own half of each other’s stuff (particularly when that stuff is real estate or retirement or cars) decoupling isn’t simple.

Hellinabucket ,

My parents have been married for 35 years cause it’s cheaper than getting divorced.

lolcatnip ,

Getting a divorce is really cheap if you just do it yourself. If they’re capable of living together for 35 years, they should be able to manage signing a few documents together.

Jano ,

The literal and figurative cost of divorce has little to do with handling the paperwork.

Hellinabucket ,

Adjusting living arrangements and insurance and other assets isn’t as easy or straight forward though. And if everything has to be intermingled why go to the time of doing the paper work.

@Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world avatar

I did estate planning with my GF because I want to make sure she’s okay if something happens to me. It cost $1000. We could have gotten the same legal protections by getting married for $150. And we’re both still paying single person tax rates.

morphballganon ,

It’s not ideal. Alas, people change, and sometimes you realize you’re stuck in situations where bailing would cause undue hardship to your kids, so you try to make it work.

I don’t know…if my wife voted for trump we might have impassible dispositions. I’d have to rethink some shit.

I’ll never understand women and minorities that are for Trump.

I’ve said it a couple times now, conservative women are some of the most brainwashed on the planet. They’re literally voting their rights away. It’s sad cause I wish they had all the resources they need and want but they vote against themselves constantly.

P00ptart ,

Or veterans/soldiers for that matter.

revelrous ,

Older women in my family—with the best of intentions, have pleaded with me to overlook abusive, violent men at home because men just can’t help the way they are and it’s a woman’s job to forget and make peace.

These are people that fundamentally don’t think they have a right to baseline respect in their own homes by the people who supposedly loved them most. They’d need a decade’s worth of therapy just to find their best interests, and then another to act on them.

Mbourgon ,

And if you ask them about Bill Clinton and Lewinsky, it’s an entirely different answer!

glimse ,

Emotional/psychological/sometimes physical abuse can do that to someone. Especially after the slow, deliberate dismantling of your social circle that sociopaths like to do. Add to that the stigma of being a single mom…

418_im_a_teapot , in Liz Truss leaves stage over ‘I crashed the economy’ lettuce banner

The lettuce image and joke arose from the final days of Truss’s premiership, when the Daily Star launched a live stream of a lettuce to see whether Truss’s battle to survive in No 10 could last longer than a 60p iceberg lettuce from Tesco.

Epic.

TheBigBrother , in The big question touching a nerve this election: "Can my husband find out who I am voting for?"

How about my wife?

Cephalotrocity , in The big question touching a nerve this election: "Can my husband find out who I am voting for?"

Nobody can know who you voted for in the booth unless you tell them. Just that you voted. Ballots are unsigned and you place it in the box (supervised, but folded and unexamined) yourself.

blackluster117 ,
@blackluster117@possumpat.io avatar

I mean, mail in ballots are signed. At least, the envelope containing them is. There’s that.

Cephalotrocity ,

An abusive husband could loom over the wife as they filled it in too. Is why I said ‘in the booth’.

Imagine how it has come down to this.

I salute the women, minorities, and all folks who have decency and do the right thing during this and all other elections. Let’s all please be sure to vote.

Smeagol666 , in Elon Musk should face arrest if he incited UK rioters, says ex-Twitter chief

Good luck with that. On an unrelated note, how’s that arrest of a certain Israli war-criminal going? Or a certain Orange Asshole former, and maybe future POTUS?

Canis_76 , in Disney wants wrongful death of LI doctor lawsuit tossed over Disney+ streaming terms

I’m not saying that one should be confined to home eating only what they personally curate. I am saying that this broad made it through medical school, did a residency, dealt with a healthy cross section of society at is dumbest. Who literally puts their life in the hands of a waiter, who has to them communicate to a cook, if there was one. Some doctors graduate with D’s.

What the fuck is wrong with you? What was she supposed to do?

What does any of this have to do with the fact that Disney wants the case dismissed because they had a Disney+ trial account years ago?

jpreston2005 , in A reckoning is coming for Florida's condo owners as buildings face millions in repairs

My grandmother is currently dealing with this. She’s living off a pension from her late husband, and the cost of repairs to her complex is mucking everything up. Every contractor in the state seems to consider this a boon, and have been jacking up their prices considerably for even minor work. So far she’s been somewhat lucky with weather related damage, but for how long her luck holds, we can only guess.

bradorsomething ,

A large problem is the glut of work, and non-state contractors and trades can’t work in florida.
