7·6 days agoMAGA is like a real-time massive Dunning Kruger demonstration playing out in real time. These people don’t even have a basic understanding of what a government actually does. They just assume “it can’t be that hard, let’s just fire everyone and figure it out later.”
Definitely some of The Narcissist’s Prayer going on:
That didn’t happen. (Hegseth lead with this yesterday calling the journalist a liar)
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. (Trump was here last night saying it was a small glitch)
And if it was, that’s not a big deal. (Now they’re saying “whoopsie” about adding the journalist but not addressing the use of Signal at all)
And if it is, that’s not my fault. (stay tuned)
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
Highly recommend this recent Extra History video about the domestication of cats
17·7 days agoI keep seeing these numbers from Europe, but have yet to see North America numbers. I’m curious to see if sales are tanking in the US even harder.
I don’t want to come across as if I’m defending this, because I absolutely don’t agree with anything these shit heads are doing. But to answer your question, getting rid of the Department of Education doesn’t mean getting rid of public schools (at least not immediately).
Most of those are funded and run by local governments. So they won’t just be closing because there’s no Dept of Education.
However, this move will ultimately heavily affect public schools in the long run. Conservatives seem to hate the idea of separation of church and state - so they’ve been pushing forever to allow religion in schools. The only way they can do this right now is through private religious schools. Their problem is that private schools are privately funded.
Their ultimate goal is to be able to take taxpayer money away from public schools and move it to private schools. Ultimately, this will decimate many public schools.
“I think he says at the end of ’26, he’s gonna start making tons of robots, ’27 and ’28, he thinks 2028 you and I are each gonna have five robots each. They’re gonna mow our lawn and they’re gonna make us coffee and they’re gonna make our bed…and they’re gonna fix our bathroom and renovate our bathrooms — I’m telling you we are gonna have very nice bathrooms!”
Wtf is this man smoking?
The money the couple saved for a down payment on a home has evaporated into attorneys fees and savings to pay a bond for her release, if she’s given that chance.
There’s a silver lining to this. Think about all the high quality white collar jobs (lawyers) that this is supporting. Way to stimulate the economy, Trumpers! /s
You don’t go through customs to go to Puerto Rico, since it’s a US territory.
Guys, I’m starting to think maybe electing Trump was a bad idea…
161·17 days agoThe not shitting guy came before the beans. The beans were mindless. The not shitting guy was an enigma.
It sickens me that these cuts are seen as “saving money”. It’d be like if I told my wife I saved us a ton of money this month by not paying the mortgage.
What’s that watermark in the bottom right?
As crazy as it sounds, maybe Elon is a time traveler from the future knowing that his only way to stop climate change was to convince the right wing to buy EVs to own the libs.
That would be the only logical explanation for the Nazi salute.
/s in case it wasn’t obvious
Seems like a leopards face eating scenario.
Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I’ve been in Lemmy for almost 2 years since the API migration, and I don’t know if I’ve ever encountered a tankie, despite seeing hundreds of memes about them.
I’m guessing my instance just doesn’t federate with the same weird shit y’all are seeing?
This is her “lifelong” dream? Not even a recent fantasy? Like when she was in kindergarten writing about what she wanted to do when she grew up, this was first on the list?
Suck on my chocolate salty baaaaaaaaaawllllsss
I hate soft worded journalism. She isn’t reportedly accused of shit. She was found guilty.
