politics @lemmy.world•Republican senators break ranks to call for investigation of Signal leak scandal
23·1 year agoDefinitely an accurate prediction for Collins - she already called in sick so she didn’t have to attend the hearings.
“Undeserving” covers that, unfortunately.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump revokes security clearances for Biden, Harris, Clinton and other perceived enemies
6·1 year agoYou need to have a clearance to communicate classified information. Asking her a question about something classified would likely reveal information that can’t be transmitted to an uncleared person. As an uncleared person, she can’t say anything classified even to someone who has a current clearance.
At last someone has answered the call for new, young leaders with fresh ideas.

That hasn’t been my experience reading his columns, you got some examples of this?
So his Substack is basically “Paul Krugman Unleashed” which it turns out is pretty glorious. Example: his “Health Insurance is a Racket” post starts off with a bit of Saint Luigi art.

politics @lemmy.world•Leaders of 'Uncommitted' and 'Abandon Harris' movements reflect on Trump's victory and early moves
6·2 years agoThe thing is, many of the people who were hurting economically and wanted Trump to change things are already crediting Trump with fixing the economy. Polling in swing states between October and November showed a huge swing in voters perception of the economy even though nothing actually changed. So I’d argue this is just emotion for a significant fraction of voters.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump Picks Gas Executive as Energy Secretary | Chris Wright is a TV-ready evangelist for fossil fuels who lacks government experience.
2·2 years agoHey, he had a degree in “meats” from Texas A&M. That’s basically an alternative prerequisite for nuclear stockpile maintenance.
Supposedly when he was picked for energy secretary he thought the position would be “symbolic coal baron”. He eventually found out about the nukes part, and to his credit he apparently realized the significance.

20·2 years agoI certainly can’t think of a more relevant background than “gas executive who goes on Fox News a lot” for leading the organization responsible for the nations nuclear arsenal.

politics @lemmy.world•Harris Rally Erupts In Cheers After Obama Uses Trump's Favorite Line Of Attack Against Him
27·2 years agoI’m pretty sure that time he altered a hurricane map with a sharpie was in the Oval Office.
I went to elementary school when whitehouse.com was still a porn site. I remember a class in the computer lab where we were supposed to do research on the government. Our teacher was very clear about going to the .gov website and absolutely not the .com one.
Whatever adult content blocking they had set up did not work.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump Rally in Aurora, Colo., Is Marked by Nativist Attacks
331·2 years agoIt’s also an unnecessary use of the passive voice. Did the nativist attacks fall out of the sky and land on the rally? No, Trump made them himself.


Nobel Peace Prize? Motherfucker just bombed Iran. Pick a lane you lunatic.
