politics @lemmy.world•Trump considering firing Kash Patel, report says
40·11 months ago“President Trump has assembled the most talented and impressive Administration in history…"
Why do they have to talk like this? Why make an absurd claim instead of any of the more plausible positive things she could say? Are they trying to out-compete each other for the dictator’s favor?
Also, why do they all capitalize like Trump? Hold on, did Trump write this statement?

politics @lemmy.world•Trump quietly holds off on Canada tariff increase
23·11 months ago“Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs,” Trump complained in the Oct. 25 post. “Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD.”
The “fraud” was showing what Reagan said that today’s Republicans wish he hadn’t.

19·11 months agoIt would be nice if Canadians would also stop voting for politicians who lead Canada in the same direction as the USA. We need to turn left, not right.

politics @lemmy.world•Military service will reportedly no longer classify 'divisive' swastika as 'hate' symbol
47·11 months agoInstead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as ‘potentially divisive’ under its new guidelines. The new policy, set to take effect Dec. 15, similarly downgrades the definition of nooses and the Confederate flag
Threatening racial lynchings is “potentially divisive” but not hateful, apparently. I guess there are very fine people on both sides of the white supremacist lynchings debate.

96·11 months agoGerardo Ortiz is Puerto Rican, which is to say, a born American with a Spanish accent, which was good enough for ICE and border patrol, it seemed.
They arrested him three times for nothing. It’s a government-run campaign of white supremacist terrorism.

politics @lemmy.world•‘Unforgivable’: Trump’s ‘piggy’ insult is stoking more outrage than usual
831·11 months agoThere’s also the estimated 600,000 people killed by his withdrawal of aid so far, which is projected to rise to 22 million dead. He has killed more people than Idi Amin and is on his way to matching the most deadly dictators in history, killing almost as many as a world war. Add in the dead from his COVID policies in his first term and immigration policies in the second term and he’s one of the deadliest leaders ever.

32·11 months agoTrump’s playing in the big league of nutty mass-killing autocrats. He has already outdone Idi Amin and has people like Mao, Stalin and Hitler in his sights. I bet he’d take pride in that too, particularly the Hitler bit.

politics @lemmy.world•Jeffrey Epstein’s Brother Claims He Heard ‘from a Pretty Good Source’ That Epstein Files Are Being Scrubbed of Republican Names
8·11 months agoPresidential use of autopen-type devices goes back hundreds of years:
https://www.shapell.org/behind-the-scenes/the-robot-pen/
The first president to use the autopen extensively was Thomas Jefferson. … Since Jefferson, various US presidents have made use of the autopen; some were guarded about it while others were more open about its use. Whereas once the official White House position was to deny the existence or usage of the autopen, today its existence is more of an open secret.
Harry Truman was rumored to make use of the device; Gerald Ford was open about his utilization of the autopen, but it was Lyndon B. Johnson who blew the doors off the entire affair by allowing the device to be photographed in the White House, appearing on the cover of The National Enquirer with the article “The Robot That Sits in for the President.”
John F. Kennedy was so dependent on the autopen, that he became the subject of a book entitled The Robot That Helped to Make a President.
But sure, the biggest political scandal of all time is not putting a Russia-compromised 34-times convicted felon and serial pedophile rapist who aims to turn the USA into a fascist autocracy into the presidency twice, but when Biden used a machine (as Trump also does) to sign things.

It’s possible her essay was just bad, with or without the bible thumping. And the inclusion of the bible could have been strategic. Some students will try anything to avoid a bad grade, except writing a good essay.
