Meh. He’ll use it as another distraction every month or whatever frequency he wants. Just like the Republicans would only approve stopgap budgets, so they can turn up the drama and claim some negotiating victories every time to just keep the lights on. It’s all theater.

Yeah, I’m not really agreeing or disagreeing with either of you.
I think they exaggerated the “Trump will fix everything” when the general sentiment from the genocide Joe/ both sides crowd was “they’re equally bad”
And clearly, they aren’t equally bad. Trump is much much worse. And we’re seeing ample proof of that.
Yet, the genocide Joe people are still plugging their ears and yelling.
Are you under the impression that we’re only allowed to reply if we’re arguing directly with you?
It wasn’t so much that people claimed Trump would be better. However, people claiming they would be equally bad because you can’t get worse than genocide were fucking EVERYWHERE. Every single thread, even threads not even tangentially related to Gaza or politics. They canvased every thread. And they’re still here.
Wrenchto Reddit•Warning: Elon Musk now has Huffman bending the knee. Whitepeopletwitter, iselondeadyet and loads of other Elon critical subs have been banned or suspended.911·3 months agoAnd I just went back to Reddit after the election. Lemmy is full of the most annoying social warrior edgelords where every fucking thread devolves into fighting from insane viewpoints. The “never genocide” “both sides” kind of people.
It’s fucking exhausting.
But guess Reddit is imploding again. Hopefully we get more normal people to migrate this time to help drown out the nutters.
Wrenchto World News•Trump says Palestinians have ‘no alternative’ but to leave GazaEnglish7224·3 months agoRofl. Biden/Harris trying everything they could to circumvent the blockade to get supplies into Gaza. Trump literally saying he wants to expel the remaining Palestinians and take their land for himself.
You will never admit you were wrong. You will go to your deathbed self assured with yourself that you never compromised on your ideals no matter what actually happens to Gazian Palestinians.
If it wasn’t abundantly obvious to the rest of ya’ll before, these soapbox “never genocide” bad actors never gave a single shit about what happens Palestinians.
Wrenchto politics •Democrats slam Trump for not making good on promise to ‘immediately’ lower food prices32·3 months agoWhat the fuck do you expect them to do with a minority at every level? All they can do is try to get the message out.
Trump has repeatedly made empty campaign promises, yet voters take the bait every fucking time.
Pointing this out in real time is an important step.
Eh. The Gen Xers I know all admit they’d be fucked in today’s housing market if they didn’t already have theirs. The are generally very sympathetic and appreciate how lucky they are.
To modify this comic, they sit down for a show and are quickly horrified at the brutality of the spectacle.
Wrenchto Technology•LG and Samsung are adding Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant to their TVsEnglish27·4 months agoFormer smart TV app developer. I’m going to drive my old dumb lcd TV into the ground before I’m forced to use a “smart” TV.
I prefer casting, but for convenience for my wife, we have a fire tv stick.
I want my panels rendering, not thinking / reporting.
Still the only movie I left the theater mad that I spent money on it.
Aliens capable of interstellar travel, coordinating a planetary invasion, that spent decades doing recon ahead of time, and all they do is run around naked. Ohh, and they chose a planet covered 70% with acid (to them) that literally falls from the sky.
So. Fucking. Stupid. And not in a fun way.
Wrenchto Technology•Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hourEnglish1·4 months agoBest to just call it in. Even for pick up, all these online providers take a huge cut, eating the profit margin from the people actually making the food you like.
I try to only use online orders for restaurants that have their own website cart. I do sometimes resort to the big ones when I’m busy / lazy, but I make a point to try to make sure the actual restaurant gets my money, because I want them to survive and keep making me tasty food.
They do. A friend in a fire prone area is unable to get fire coverage through his former provider. He was trying to find an alternative last time we spoke, but the estimate from the state was $500/mo. Just for fire insurance.
Wrenchto News•Tesla replaced laid off US workers with foreign workers using H-1B visas that Musk want to increase7·4 months agoAt my first job it if college, we had one QA guy at a small company. He did everything. He worked 12+ hours a day and weekends to support a team of ~8 devs iirc.
He was an H-1B. He didn’t have a choice but to work his butt off and do anything they asked.
At one point while I was there, they honored him at some company party, thanking him for his hard work over the last 2 years. The gift was a $100 restaurant gift card.
And management had the nerve to be “shocked” when he quit immediately after getting his green card.
Eh. He could have intended to use it again, or didn’t find an opportune time to ditch/destroy it. Or maybe he’s not the master People’s assassin that everyone wants him to be.
Rofl. OK. So forensics is fake science now, too? Because it could implicate someone you’d rather see go free?
How is this kind of mental gymnastics any different than the covid deniers.
The whole gun planting take seems like conspiratory nonsense to me. And I’ll trust the forensic science on the striations.
Didn’t he have the burner gun still on him? Honestly asking, I know a lot of disinformation tends to go out early, and I haven’t followed up on verified facts.
To manipulate a murdered person’s sons to reevaluate their perception of their own father because of some public lynching?
Congrats Never Genocide people posing as Progressives. We fucking warned you that exactly this was going to happen. Trump and his cult would side with Russia and throw Ukraine under the bus.
Great fucking job.
And great fucking job, Mods, for protecting those fucks in the name of civility.
We are the baddies now. And we got here because you’d rather protect Nazis from being punched in the mouth for their words and actions in the name of civility.
