To expand on that, I think these are people looking to set themselves up for continued grifting in the post-Trump fascist movement. Being just critical enough “of the Trump campaign” now will allow them to say they jumped ship in August 2024 without actually committing to abandoning Trump until after the election. They want to be in a position to claim they were ahead of the curve due to their astute political acumen. But don’t want the short term fall out from actually doing it, nor the potential risk of being proven wrong in November.

It’s a transparent move, but it’ll be effective on the post-Trump MAGA base, as these are generally not bright people.

You just normally see an article about a Sunday press appearance earlier than Saturday.

Holy shit dude. For the last time, the article is about the founder of the National Black Farmer Association’s comments regarding what JD Vance said. That’s why it was written on Friday. Vance’s comments were from Sunday. Then the NBFA’s founder spoke out about it days later. I literally cannot dumb this down for you any more than I already have.

If you don’t understand that an article written on Friday, which refers to an event on “Sunday” without any additional qualifiers, is always going to be referring to the most recent Sunday and not the future… Then I don’t know what to tell you, this isn’t rocket science.

Yes. The article, published on Friday, is about the founder of the National Black Farmers Association responding to something JD Vance said on Sunday. This should not be confusing you this much.

Correct. JD Vance said a thing on Sunday. The founder of the National Black Farmers Association responded. Mother Jones then wrote an article about it on Friday. This is a fairly standard sequence of events for the news. Except, of course, in that old tv show, Early Edition, about the guy who’d get tomorrow’s newspaper today and then have to prevent some tragedy from happening in every episode.

LMAO

I have no trouble believing Joe Rogan’s support for RFK Jr. is genuine, but sure, we can pretend he’s just doing it to get attention for his humble little $250mil podcast. It’s not like he’s got a decade’s long public history of being a stupid fucking meathead or anything…

I wanted to post this in !LeopardsAteMyFace@lemmy.world but that community appears to have been shut down a few months ago.

But anyway, I say good. Let them fight!

The made up kind.

State of play: Walz doesn’t own a single stock, according to financial disclosures and confirmed by a spokesperson. Same goes for his wife Gwen, per tax filings.

• His disclosures, both from his final year in Congress and his time as Minnesota governor, also show no mutual funds, bonds, private equities, or other securities.

• No book deals or speaking fees or crypto or racehorse interests.

• Not even real estate. The couple sold their Mankato, Minnesota, home after moving into the governor’s mansion, for below the $315k asking price).

Zoom in: Their only investment assets appear to be via state pensions, including teacher pensions.

That idiot is just making things up. They clearly don’t know anything at all about Tim Walz. Who, as far as finances goes, appears to have more in common with middle class families than any VP candidate in a century.

Same thing happened earlier this year with Wendy’s new CEO. His brilliant plan to make a name for himself was rolling out dynamic pricing. After days of well deserved backlash Wendy’s had to come out and walk it back while insisting they had never planned to use this to do lunch/dinner surge pricing.

Yeah, I watched his speech at the PA rally tonight and it was excellent. The dude’s just a refreshing voice in national politics. I think he stands a great chance of delivering a lot of independents who are just looking for some common sense out of a politician.

Elon Musk: Your honor these mean jerks won’t pay to advertise in my nazi bar and it hurts my feels.

This is awesome of him to do. And as an aside, Robert J. Sawyer’s Neaderthal Parallax trilogy is one of my favorite sci-fi trilogies ever. It’s about a team of Canadian physicists who accidentally open a portal to an earth in a parallel universe where Neanderthals became the dominant species on the planet. The series explores how their modern society may have evolved and how their technological and social development may have differed from our own. I highly recommend it for fans of hard sci-fi and alternative history.

Oh Republicans will accept federal funds for all sorts of things. It’s just that they‘re morally opposed to helping children avoid starvation.
