Compromising with them leads them to believe they are right.

Like did they actually skewer him? Is he gonna die?

Have them make up the rumors about themselves, but then swap the names to make them about each other

Reagan did it in 1981 and it didn’t cause a collapse. 11000 air traffic controllers went on strike and Reagan fired all of them. This is arguably what started the decline of unions in the US.

It was fucked up then, and it would be even more fucked up now, but in reality the industry would move on pretty quickly. Hopefully the people would rise up in response, but I’m not holding my breath.

It makes it more likely Mamdani will win. Nobody’s debating whether to vote Mamdani or Adams. He’s only splitting the vote that would otherwise go to Cuomo.

There’s no “sort of” there. A tariff is literally a tax on imported goods, and companies can’t be expected to take on the full burden of these taxes, so they get passed on to the consumer.

Basically Trump decided to raise taxes for everyone. It’s no surprise that they’re bringing in more money.

experts need to get better at communicating with the public in an engaging way

Experts should be experts in two fields instead of just one. Got it.

Vermin Supreme shouldn’t fight gravity.

Gotta fight something

Canada wouldn’t hit the ground first, since the guy would be falling in an arc, while the US would be falling straight down.

Wow, someone should tell Trump he’s not allowed to do that!

Not just based on it. It’s literally an edited version of that same image. I appreciate that they made the hands smaller.

Some of us are already in depression territory.

I haven’t bought on Amazon in 6 years. When marketplace vendors from other sites ship Amazon packages to me, I usually report them. I’ve had two of the marketplaces reply that they had no policy against this, and I let them know that I will choose to shop elsewhere from now on.

It really hasn’t been very much trouble to avoid buying from Amazon. There’s no shortage of online shops, and Amazon’s prices aren’t always lower like they used to be.

Sort of like how people view the Soviet Union.

I’ve never met anyone personally who speaks fondly of their time in the USSR. Tankies online who are too young to have lived through it are the only ones.

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam

Paper ballots are also easier to falsify, with all the videos of box stuffing in corrupt countries.

That said, Canada uses paper ballots and hand counting, and I’m not aware of any accusations of election fraud related to that ever happening.

I hate it, but it’s really smart. Clearly it’s not something he thought up himself.

They may all be shit human beings, but video clips are the main way people are going to see them. If they look and sound like they know what they’re talking about, the masses will just eat it up. But talking to the actual public face to face and talking to them on TV are two very different things.

I hate to defend her, but there was no tirade about flat Earth.

“May as well just go all out and say it. The Earth is flat, birds are government drones, and we’ve never set foot on the moon, and Joe Biden received 81 million votes in the 2020 election,”

Basically she was being facetious. If that last statement about Biden wasn’t there, I might have been convinced she believed these things, but she’s equating those statements with the “lie” that Biden got more votes than Trump in 2020.
