Political Memes@lemmy.world•But there were SO MANY dealbreakers before we even got to that pointEnglish
9·10 months agoTrump was the perfect storm. Everybody that held some form of bigotry could see themselves in him. Because how could he be a bad person if they weren’t a bad person.

17·10 months agoMy fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over
To be fair, it’s not the water. For Gen X & early-ish millennials it was actually leaded automotive fuel that was the bigger issue.

Political Memes@lemmy.world•This isn't humorous anymoreEnglish
102·11 months agoI don’t know anything specific, but I did work customer service for a major airline at one time. I can think of one routine-ish situation that could look like this.
It wasn’t uncommon that if we suspected fraud in the booking we would leave it to be canceled at the last minute so the fraudsters didn’t suspect anything until they were at the airport, where they could be caught. It could have thrown a fraud flag somehow or someone malicious flagged it similarly.

politics @lemmy.world•US must ‘universally condemn political violence’, Democratic governor Shapiro saysEnglish
25·11 months agoI mean the country was founded on the conceit that some political violence is ok. It’s embedded in the revolution and the framework of the 2nd Amendment…
That horse has left the barn far behind.

Political Memes@lemmy.world•Breaking: James Comer is a fucking traitorEnglish
30·1 year agoI’m thoroughly enjoying these. If you’re taking suggestions, it’s not the first time Jim Jordan has covered for sexual misconduct of abusers; he’s kind of a low hanging branch.

politics @lemmy.world•Tucker Carlson says Pete Buttigieg is 'fake gay,' should answer questions about gay sexEnglish
56·1 year agoTo be fair, a lot of people including those on the far left were gatekeeping gayness during the 2020 primary. It’s not new for Buttigieg.

politics @lemmy.world•Supreme Court to decide if ICE can arrest based on "apparent ethnicity"English
4·1 year agoI wasn’t suggesting it, that phrase is an older conservative trope from legal blog from 20 years ago that is clearly motivating the current Supreme Court. (The current strict scrutiny podcast references it too in a clearly sarcastic tone as well)

politics @lemmy.world•The US supreme court paved the way for Texas’s gerrymandering messEnglish
18·1 year agoTBF, “The Roberts Supreme Court paved the way for the current mess” is true for just about all of the mess going on right now. (There is a healthy share attributable to the past court too)

politics @lemmy.world•Pete Buttigieg warns Democrats can't go back to status quo after President TrumpEnglish
12·1 year agoHighly praised him, stopped just short of endorsing saying he needs to know more about his policy proposals. Said there’s room in the party for dem socialists.

While King does caucus with Democrats, he isn’t an explicit member of the party anymore and hasn’t been since the 90’s
