Last year we hosted a holiday dinner and included a neighborhood couple we had never met. Within minutes it became apparent we had invited a Magat POS. He actually exceeded expectations, bringing up Trump time and again and ignoring the fact we kept changing the subject. It took one of us openly ridiculing Trump to get him to finally shut the fuck up. It was only because we didn’t want to make other people there uncomfortable that he wasn’t out the door on his ass.

His wife (not Maga) has since approached us asking to get together and we’ve politely declined. No need to tell her we’d rather have triple servings of Taco Bell lettuce during a root canal than to ever spend a minute in her husband’s miserable presence again.

Trump’s corruption of U.S. courts is complete.

United Airlines customer service folks.

Haven’t seen “uneducated” before. Maybe I missed it.

There’s a much simpler explanation.

There is no way in hell a billionaire in this oligarchy will ever come close to a felony conviction.

Let’s call it what it is - child rape.

You are not a professor. Lemmy is not your classroom. People here are not your students. Not a single one of us is required to read or respond when you bloviate. Nor do we have to entertain your ridiculous attempt to redefine common words like ‘lecture’ for your convenience.

On Lemmy and nearly everywhere else in life, adults can choose to ignore you completely. Please refer to this message as needed when there is no response to additional comments.

It is not uncommon for cops to obtain warrants for the wrong house and tear that place apart looking for drugs or someone who was never there. The departments have no financial responsibility for the damage and personal injuries they cause. Why would they bother reading the plate?

And skip the bread rolls unless you’d like a side of broken glass.

You seem to be very intent on lecturing rather than discussing. I am not interested.

I’ll make sure to give your opinion all the consideration it deserves.

We did what now?

Super PACs became possible due to the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizen’s United decision. “We” had nothing to do with it, just like “we” had nothing to do with the overturning of Roe vs. Wade.

“We” do desperately need another 5 SC justices.

Every single accusation is an admission.

Clearly another fascist plot to silence dissent. Sometimes the truth sounds like an outrageous conspiracy theory.

If we had a unbiased, functional 4th estate we would not have Trump as president. Treating made up bullshit as “alternate facts” is partially why we are where we are.

“Unbelievable and unacceptable, no more ‘objectivity’ CNN has no credibility……all news outlets should air any President live AND LET THEIR VIEWERS DECIDE THEIR OWN OPINIONS OF LIVE PRESIDENTS NATIONAL ADDRESSES.”

But these same assholes cheer when Obama is ignored and Biden’s speech isn’t broadcast.

The fact I was aiming for a Waffle House.

The gaffe is the result of the failure by Microsoft, which oversees the signing of shims, to revoke the publicly available images once vulnerabilities were found in them.
