Sure they do, it’s called money. Like all US politicians (and many in other countries as well) they vote as they’re paid to vote.
Priority one in any attempt to fix the US needs to be overturning citizens united. There’s an admittedly long list of other things that need to be done as well, but getting corporate money out of the equation is a significant force multiplier.
Dude is officially the least popular president in American history.
Unfortunately that only means something if Republicans refuse to vote for him, and most Republicans I know would vote for literally anybody running as a Republican just to minimize any chance of a Democrat getting elected. About the only way I could see Republicans refusing to vote for the Republican candidate is if we were in some bizzaro world where the Republican candidate was a black queer woman and the Democrat was a white straight man (although I would happily pay thousands of dollars to witness the absolute knots all the racist Republican bigots would tie themselves into trying to square that circle).
So I guess they’re prepping for that hyper-inflation now. Can’t wait for a cup of coffee to cost $75 and a month’s rent to be $20,000. But hey, look on the bright side, I’m sure the stock market will look amazing breaking through all those all time records.
Speaking of, that would be an interesting exercise. They always talk about how various funds and stocks are up or down some percent over the previous day/week/year or whatever. It would be interesting to see that same data but adjusted for inflation. Like is the dow jones up 2% from last year or is it really down 0.5% due to inflation?
Anyone even slightly surprised by this hasn’t been paying attention to Trump and his family for at least a couple decades. It would be far more shocking if this hadn’t happened.
Just thinking out loud but going after the power seems like a bad approach. Instead you should target the cooling infrastructure. Not sure what you could throw in the air intake to do maximum damage, but I think that’s going to be a lot easier to damage than the power would be. Either that or you get clever on the power side. Don’t try to do a big spike, instead stress the failovers. Rapidly alternate between low voltage (maybe connecting a massive power shunt across the incoming line) to trip the backup power and normal voltage to get it to switch off of the backup. I’d bet it would handle rapidly swapping back and forth a lot worse than one big spike.
PSA, it’s a really bad idea to mess with the kind of high voltage lines that feed these data centers. That’s a really good way to end up dead in a very painful manner.
If Fox had any balls at all they’d also ask if any of those people would vote for a non-Republican. Being pissed at Trump means fuck all if they are still going to vote for literally whoever the Republicans run next.
Oh, is it that time of the year where Fucker Carlson says something true before going back to slinging Russian propaganda again?
Dude is one of the biggest traitors to the US and bears significant responsibility for the current state of things (like most of the human trash that’s appeared on Fox News). He’s likely only saying this now because Russia finds value in stirring the pot over here.
His entire personality flipped after he got literal brain damage and he’s been voting solidly in the dumbest way possible ever since (so pretty much always whichever way the Republicans are voting). Unlike several others I don’t think this is a blackmail thing, I think he literally lost like half his IQ overnight.
Near as I can tell from the sources I’ve seen for that he actually didn’t but some news sites misquoted him to make it seem like he did. The actual quote was that it would be “public to members [of the DNC]” not to the general public. This got shortened to “he said it would be public” in reporting leaving off the very important detail that that was meaning a very specific audience. Ultimately he never should have used the word public it’s way too easy to misconstrue. He would have been better off if he had said “it will be freely available to the DNC members”.
Huh, look at that, 4 out of 10 Americans are braindead, as that’s the only way you wouldn’t realize the gas prices are Trumps fault. Well, Trump and I guess Israel, but Trump could have tried not being a sock puppet to somebody for a change.
The US is done for, as nearly 50% of the population is apparently living in an entirely different reality from the rest of the world or else so literally out of touch with current events they don’t even understand a single thing that’s happening at a national level.
Man, someone called this play on the day they fired Bondi. It will be interesting to see if Congress lets them get away with it or if they charge her with contempt.
Aircraft in the presidential and VIP fleet will be repainted in red, white and blue, according to reports from several outlets, including CBS News and Fox News. The new design is also expected to include a gold stripe.
The photo in the story is the current design. It’s Trump so you know it will be some combination of tacky and ugly.
They should save time and just ask for the pro-ICE accounts, it will be a much smaller list. Then again most of that list is probably already working for ICE.
The records seem to indicate it was used as part of the island’s reverse osmosis water treatment system. There I saved you a click.
How the fuck was this not at a minimum accidental manslaughter if not outright murder? I can’t imagine any possible scenario with what’s laid out in the article where this isn’t some kind of crime.
That’s nice but it means nothing if she doesn’t do something about it. Release the files and impeach Trump. Anything less is just putting on a show to try to sway voters for the midterms.
He wants the biggliest inflation anyone’s ever seen. Inflation so yuge Venezuela will be impressed.
I don’t think he’d have the ability to target specific churches like that, he’d have to remove the blanket religious tax exemption so it would apply to all of them. I think the only way he could target specific churches is if he somehow got them reclassified as not religious institutions and I’m not sure how he would manage that. Doing that to something like the church of scientology is one thing, it’s already on shaky ground, but trying the same thing on something like the Episcopal church is something else entirely. Unfortunately I could see him maybe succeeding at getting TST reclassified.
Oh please let him actually do it. It would be one of the only positive things to come out of this toxic festering dung heap of an administration.
Where do you think they got the water to fill the reflecting pond?
