It’s like they always want to make sure they are “better” than Biden, but continually justify their own bad behavior by pointing to him.

I can’t imagine catching someone stealing and they say “well, my neighbor is also a thief!” Great, now the world has two thieves. It’s an absolutely shit way to make an argument and it’s sad that the public seems to fall for it almost every time.

Trump marched onstage insisting he was ready to make America “affordable again,” a line crafted to evoke Reagan-era economic populism that instead conjured Jimmy Carter calling for personal austerity. Trump declared he had “no higher priority” before launching into his usual misdirection by blaming the rising cost of living on his predecessor, Joe Biden.

Keep blaming Biden! Despite assurances things would be fixed as early as the first day, the USA is still not in that great of a shape. How many people will allow Trump to quit taking accountability? Every day that we get more into a Trump presidency it should be harder and harder to blame your predecessor.

If Biden left this country in such a shambles that even the almighty Trump is unable to right the ship, then why the heck did the Donald say he could?

Our gullible countrymen ate it right up and a good amount continue to do so. Mortgaging your future to own the libs.

Hell, I’ll do this for free.

Ted Cruz is blaming life-saving car safety regulations for the rising cost of cars

This is correct. They will be cheaper. The question is not how much money is spent, but it is what you get for that money.

I’m sure if we get rid of all food safety laws there will be cheaper food available as well. It will make manufacturing much easier.

Likewise, if we eliminate the EPA and the huge amount of environmental protection laws we have, manufacturing will be much cheaper and feasible to do in the USA.

Chesterton’s Fence remains in effect, as ever. Fiddle with these rules at your own risk. Consequences don’t care about your feelings and the universe will make sure to pay you back.

Don’t worry, I’m sure there will be a huge government bailout that the people have no say in. Remember 2008? I don’t remember voting to give away piles of money to the bankers.

You know what Iceland did when there was suspicious investing and they had bank failures? They put the bankers in jail! What did we do? We gave them a bonus!

God bless America, because we’ll need it!

What if I were to tell you the security risk was inside the OS all this time?

What’s your point? People that don’t like Biden don’t like Kamala either? I agree.

Kamala is so out of touch it’s outrageous. If you take things at face value and Kamala says “I wouldn’t do anything different from Biden” and you have Trump saying “Biden destroyed the USA” it seems to reason that voting for Kamala means you want more fails.

Of course, things are usually more nuanced than this, but do you think the average American voter is extremely savvy? If anything, the future of the country is determined by quips and sound bites.

Here’s a clue: if you need to hire “influence experts” to figure out how to “outreach” to younger voters, you’re out of touch. For several categories of voter, it seems that they are valued for what they pick in the voting booth instead of any kind of actual consideration.

Trump’s rhetoric and puffery makes some people believe he has their back. Kamala’s pitch seems to boil down to “I’m not that other guy”, which historically doesn’t get you very far.

It was frustrating to watch the election more or less be handed to Donald Trump, because the only segment of society the Democrats seemed to appeal to was the large corporations that hand over large amounts of donation money. The plight of the average citizen was nowhere near the top list of concerns.

It should be also pointed out that he’s totally innocent of elder abuse, due to the age of the victims. Why are people refusing to see the bright side of this? There are scores of crimes he’s innocent of!

I think it’s pretty clear the “Rust experiment” has failed. You don’t need to be the Amazing Kreskin to know how this plays out. The writing is on the wall: Rust faces a bleak future.

It’s time developers got serious and rewrote sudo-rs in a serious, tried-and-true systems language, potentially C or C++. Only then can system administrators sleep soundly at night, feeling safe from the type of bugs introducing Rust to a mature ecosystem can cause.

The Democrats don’t do shit except send me weekly texts from ActBlue begging for money. That’s the only time I hear from them or there is some outreach. I’ll never send a cent ever again. The state of our country is partially their fault for not even maintaining a functional party with candidates that don’t require holding your nose.

“It’s worth the cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths […] so that we can have the Second Amendment” - Charlie Kirk, 2023

Ah, but the cost of the miner with black lung is increasingly handled by that individual or their family.

If you are a coal miner and you think that a man that lives in a gilded apartment can relate to you and has your best interests at heart you are going to be sadly disappointed.

Easy, when foreign workers take the money, it leaves the USA. When it’s an American AI company getting that money instead of an American worker, the money stays in the country.

Plus, the administration hates foreigners and loves technology. Seems consistent, at least.

There’s at least two possible outcomes when someone(s) receives aid:

1. They use it as a stepping stone towards becoming independent, and it’s temporary
2. They feel entitled to it and become habituated towards receiving aid and it cements their dependence

Same problem with food stamps, etc. some people use it as a hand-out, some people use it as a hand-up. You can’t really help one group without helping the other, unfortunately.

I love the pattern on the right: “Despite X occurring plenty of times throughout the years on ‘my side’, this time I’m really riled up about something that’s not even true!”

He loves his country so much he wants to defend it from ignorant outsiders, but isn’t even aware of who has citizenship and won’t explain why this didn’t have any bearing on past musical performances.

Intellectual consistency isn’t their strong point.

Jellyfin.

That is all.

Technically, any image could be printed on new U.S. currency. Slow news day?

GOP plans have the follow-through ratio of a Chris Christie diet plan, so I’ll believe it when I see it.

FCC Chairman: Someone should take care of Jimmy Kimmel.

FCC Chairman: Noooo! Not like that!!
