Trump is like darth vader without the skills, charm, cool suit, nice voice, brains, and epic backstory.

“i am altering the deal…”

Good. Walk the walk.

Now, you don’t have to:

Bring it, bitch.

I will never visit the us again. i cancelled netflix, prime, apple music. i use crave, cbc gem, and qobuz now. i installed ubuntu on my old surface pro and it works beautifully. switched to libre office. my next phone will be a fairphone.

when i go to the grocery store, if an item i want is a product of the usa, i eat something else.

That’s it. We found the most 21st century thing ever:

A GoFundMe for a political assassination.

Build the wall! Build the wall!

The very notion of superman is woke. With his powers, he could rule earth. Instead he helps kids and little old ladies with nothing to gain for himself. The guy is empathy incarnate.

Seriously, though - what has been happening since 2020? I know it can get WAY worse, but so far we’ve had a pandemic, high inflation, crazy rent, crazy house prices, stagnant wages. Is this not already hardship not seen in generations?

On those sport betting sites, can you bet on the next TACO date? I think on July 25th Trump will extend the deadline to September.

It’s a cycle to move the window on acceptable discourse. This is at least the third time Grok has been configured to say something outrageous: holocaust denial, white genocide, now Mechahitler. When people react with outrage, they dial it back a little (but not all the way back). Repeat.

Trump does the same thing: go too far, backtrack partially, go even further, backtrack partially. Each time, the transgression is a little less shocking.

Grok is working as intended.

Yeah. Grok is working as intended.

The rest of the world is jumping on clean energy as costs come down. This jackass wants to go back to the start of the industrial revolution. Why stop with bringing back coal? Why not revive the American whaling fleet?

I kept my home phone number and went with magic jack for very little money. That way, I only have to carry my phone when I’m out. Even then, I don’t always bring it with me or I switch it to focus mode. I’m not a paramedic and I’m never armed so I expect for a real emergency, my friends and family would probably call 911 instead of me.

Yes.

Force is not the only way. A general strike would work too because it hits the rich where it hurts: their money. The billionaires already had it good under democracy. If they think they will have it better with Trump in jail, he will be behind bars in a blink.

Agreed. People were angry - many with good cause. Unfortunately, people often make bad decisions when they are angry.

I am sorry, but you are incorrect. The word politics comes from polity, meaning a group of people who share an identity. When you say that politics is “power plays and public relations,” you are repeating propaganda that was designed to disenfranchise people. Politics is about working on a shared project: building a good society. Bad actors have infiltrated politics, but they don’t get to replace the basic meaning of the word.

I have a dream that one day my writing will not be judged by the frequency of my em dashes, but by the quality of my ideas.

For me, it would take some of the sting out of the break-up.

I would think to myself, “damn, how did I not realize that I was dating a lazy moron?”
