CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•RFK Jr. rejects cornerstone of health science: Germ theoryEnglish12·5 hours agoI’m sorry, where did this guy get his relevant PhD(s) again?
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•In Trump-voting Iowa, farmers have started to shout at each otherEnglish2·6 hours agoAgreed. I grew up in an extremely rural area and if someone moved there from “the city” (any city, really) they were sus. Even being one county over was viewed with a raised eyebrow.
But even if someone was born and raised there, visited a large city with their family, and then later said something positive about that city, they were given serious side-eye. Though I moved there at a very young age, I was not born and raised there and didn’t have extended family in the area. Therefore, myself and my family, because we tended to travel more, and were not “from there”, were definitely viewed with suspicion by the locals. Another strike against me - I was definitely bound for college and my parents valued reading, learning and education. All very out-groupy things with a lot of the locals.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Just say yes': Trump begs reporter to accept that doctored photo is realEnglish17·6 hours agoI don’t think the letters on there were even intended to be faked as part of the photo. That’s the exceedingly stupid thing here - donvict seems convinced that the labeling is supposed to be part of the fakery and that we all need to buy into it.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Just say yes': Trump begs reporter to accept that doctored photo is realEnglish13·6 hours agoI like when donvict says that (paraphrasing) “this is why no one trusts you”, referring to the media. No, only mouth breathers like donvict don’t trust corporate media for calling out blatant lies like these. Mouth breathers fell for the lie that the likes of Faux is news.
The rest of us are suspicious of the corporate bothsiderist media when they don’t call out the blatant LIES in starker terms.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•In Trump-voting Iowa, farmers have started to shout at each otherEnglish1·6 hours agoAh, the old “out of context” crutch that so many Babble-bangers like to fall back on. Hilarious.
The same people that will ignore dietary law of the religion they co-opted will quote from the same book to support their opinion on Teh Ghey.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'Did I Miss Something?': Online Shoppers Shocked as Trump Tariffs Jack Up Prices 145%English1·17 hours agoThe bullshit “liberal media” does the “both sides” thing all the freaking time.
And I’m talking about an awful lot of supposed leftists on places like Lemmy that do things like “but Biden’s economy was actually BAD!” and so on. I could go on for other examples…now, whether I believe most of them are actual leftists, I dunno…
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Has Officially Shrunk the U.S. Economy Already After Tariff TurmoilEnglish5·1 day agoNo, no, no. This obviously all goes back to Bill and Hitlary. And don’t forget about what CARTER did this economy!!!111
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Insists Clearly Edited Pic of Abrego Garcia's Tats is Real in Testy InterviewEnglish19·1 day agoThis is the guy that stared into the sun during an eclipse.
This is the guy that thinks stealth planes are invisible.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Insists Clearly Edited Pic of Abrego Garcia's Tats is Real in Testy InterviewEnglish4·1 day agoOrwellian in the extreme.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'Did I Miss Something?': Online Shoppers Shocked as Trump Tariffs Jack Up Prices 145%English3·1 day agoAnd depending on how that SCOTUS ruling goes on religious charter schools…it might accelerate.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'Did I Miss Something?': Online Shoppers Shocked as Trump Tariffs Jack Up Prices 145%English51·1 day agoDoesn’t help that a whole lot of idiots also think it’s somehow very clever of them to “rise above” it all by acting like it’s “both sides”. This is what passes (for a special kind of smug idiot) for political acumen.
Of course, the “liberal media” harps on the “both sides” thing all the freaking time. Which is why I find it mighty curious that a lot of supposed “leftists” take up that mantra, too.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'Did I Miss Something?': Online Shoppers Shocked as Trump Tariffs Jack Up Prices 145%English188·1 day agoFound the fucking idiots who couldn’t be bothered to vote for Kamala.
Or that voted for donvict because “R”.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Says He Could Free Abrego Garcia From El Salvador, but Won’t: Trump’s comments undermined statements by his top aides & were a blunt sign of his administration’s intention to defy courtsEnglish36·1 day agoI wish reporters would bait him with questions like “you aren’t powerful enough to do that? why not? I thought you and the United States were so bigly and powerful? Are you saying you are too weak?” and “you say you CAN do it, but why don’t you show us?” and “you say you won’t do it, is that because you are AFRAID to admit that you were wrong about him?”
Also, watching that interview where he could not even fucking admit his “evidence” was Photoshop…straight out of Orwell.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Blames Biden for Disastrous Q1 Economic News: ‘NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS’English2·1 day agoYeah, and a lot of his toothless base thought the same thing, that he “really” won and that Biden was just a puppet there who would step aside for “The Storm” to take all the Big Bad Ebil Liberals/Pedophiles (but in this stupid Qnut narrative, the Venn diagram of pedophiles and prominent Democrats is one circle) off to Gitmo and let donvict reign supreme like the orange god-emperor he was meant to be.
I wish this was from The Onion. They are very, very fucking stupid and they found their perfect match in donvict. If anyone needs to understand just how fucking stupid the base is, one only need to study something like “pizzagate”.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Blames Biden for Disastrous Q1 Economic News: ‘NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS’English71·1 day agoYep. There is a direct cause and effect here. He owns this shit.
He was handed a GREAT economy and he fucked it all up.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Blames Biden for Disastrous Q1 Economic News: ‘NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS’English171·1 day agoLOL, DUMBASS.
He was handed an economy that was the envy of the world, and now look at it.
What a freaking business GENIUS.
“Nothing to do with tariffs”. You have to be a special kind of idiot - donvict-tier level idiot - to buy that. He’s fucked this country and fucked it so hard. And we haven’t even begun to see the real long-term consequences yet.
I’m sure that if we even still have free and fair elections, that if the Democrats get in power, they’ll have to work to pull us out of the ditch, all the while the Fifth Column media will blame the Democrats for not doing it fast enough. Just like the last fucking times. I wish the Democrats would start doing real smashmouth politics if they ever even get one iota of power back. No more of this trying to uphold “norms” by “reaching across the aisle” to the “gentlemen” from such and such state. FUCK THAT NOISE. Obama did that most of his two terms, and kept pulling back a stump when he’d offer them an olive branch. And that’s what happened to a right-leaning centrist like Obama.
FFS.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump looked unbeatable on the economy. Then he launched a trade war.English1·1 day agoAll the economic indicators were great and heading in a good direction. Contrast that with donvict’s economy that has contracted in the little time he’s been here, all thanks to his complete mismanagement and/or active measures to crater the economy.
Can’t really both sides this.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•In Trump-voting Iowa, farmers have started to shout at each otherEnglish5·1 day agoIt just makes zero sense to be a single-issue voter like this, though. And I don’t really think most of them give two fucks about the fetus; for many of them it’s about control.
Daily Show pointed out what many seem to have missed and seeing the reporter’s reaction to donvict talking about the Declaration of Independence and how it is about “unity”, lol…
