Yeah, it primarily happens when people don't wash their hands, we normally have tons of them in certain place.

So yeah, ew.

In short, oligarchs want to get richer and want more power (there's never enough), you would think that poor conditions would wake people up, but as long as there less fortunate ones as us we are fine with it. It is easy to set us up against each other by telling that our misfortune is because of minorities and immigrants.

There's a book called On Freedom by Timothy Snyder that talks about it. I think everyone should read it. Once you are aware of the mechanisms it is easy to see.

You would think that Republicans breaking social security would surely lose them votes, but it is really easy to manipulate their base and tell them that there's not enough money in SSN because immigrants are getting free money and once again we are fighting with each other and once again oligarchs walk away with more wealth.

It's just a photo op, as long as his base believes he is fine.

BTW: what ever happened to photo op of feeding the homeless? Are we finally acknowledging that fast food worker rate is still powerty?

Knowing trump, any of the scenes close to work involved a stunt double.

As long as DOJ would serve an indictment that would be a huge win.

The problem is that those Reaganomics affect younger much worse than older. He probably still did fine and that's why he didn't understand what others are complaining.

It's the mentality that billionaires use to impose on us. Yes, our life sucks, but it is not bad, because there are people for whom or sucks much more.

I am currently reading book called On Freedom by Prof. Timothy Snyder and is really eye opening, how we are being manipulated to hurt our and our children's future. I think everyone should read it.

You would think that maybe he would do photo op volunteering to help the hungry, but working at McDonald's is apparently more hot for politicians right now.

Seems like they are operating in now or never mode. Amy crime committed won't matter if trump wins. Looks like we didn't place any meaningful deterrent for things we learned in 2016 and 2020.

Searching, shows that there are few, but not exactly the same design.

For political accomplishments, she did managed to get invited to meeting with putin. You can't be just anybody. You have to give it to her.

As for the qualifications, trump showed us that you can do it at your own leisure, nobody will fire you if you won't do it.

Twitter is for narcissists, and when they say Mastodon is not as good as twitter they really mean that there's not as many people watching them as on Twitter. So Bluesky gaining 500,000 new accounts could help in making it "better".

Yeah I was surprised about it. That tracking parameter is one that I notice the most and almost everyone includes it. It made me think that feature is either broken, or in misunderstanding what it supposed to do.

He better be careful, If he adds a little more bronze his supports will start going after him.

No, that's not what he said. He got a lot of flak for supposedly saying he invented the Internet.

In reality he never claimed that, he said that when he was a congressman he took initiative in creating the Internet, meaning sponsoring bills that would fund it etc. not actually inventing it.

Robert Kahn and Vint Cerf actually acknowledged that Gore was first politician that saw Internet's potential and helped it becoming a reality.

Couldn't that power be used to take control over Bitcoin chain?

Will try to find mine.

Honestly though I think that judges should be appointed by governor, maybe approved by legislature and during election we should have option to repeal them if they do something outrageous.

Yes ballotpedia is good, but I still wish it had more information about local (city, county) governments as well as judges. These ones are the hardest and most time consuming to research.

I also used https://www.ballotready.org/ it helps with some candidates, but looks like ballotpedia most of the time still has more info.

Imagine what they could do if his coke-and-ketamine fueled dipshitery decided to take up a different hobby.

Didn't he just do that with Xitter?

Seems like he is quite isolated in SpaceX and COO is running everything.

Sad thing is that he can openly say this, because none of the trump voters will even see this. Their disinformation channels will just say that Democrats are blocking it.

If those people actually tracked any news they wouldn't be as easy to manipulate.
