AG Paxton’s new rule would be that the entranceway of every polling location in Texas can only be open once every 10 minutes for 30 seconds at a time, to prevent voter fraud of course.

Yeah Trump not only tests his supporters’ loyalty but also their schedules. There are only a handful of things I would line up for hours in advance, and then still to wait another several hours sounds like an ordeal more than anything.

Senator Foreman is right…

It’s not that there is discrimination in Idaho, he and the Republican party are the discrimination in Idaho.

Won’t somebody think of the Military Industrial Complex’s profits?

Got problems at home? Time to Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran…

Got problems overseas? Time to Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran…

Look how it easy it is to solve problems, when your ass isn’t on the front lines! /s

Man the American feds are on a roll lately in terms of rooting out corruption.

The latest: A couple comments about the US VP Debate I had started but decided against. Often times I realize that I’m angry and upset at something I read, but I should step back and breathe before posting a rant and opt instead for something more level-headed.

In the past year: Some replies that I write sound like just backtalk so I don’t post those when they don’t meaningfully advance the discussion. Some discussion topics like about autism, LBGTQ, gender equality, wars, religion, and race issues I want to reply to, to help spur and advance awareness and discussion, but sometimes I feel it’s not my place. I want to leave it for people with more direct experience to provide better answers. Oh and one other reason: sometimes I start writing but delete too topic- or location-specific answers that could doxx myself. I don’t mind people knowing what city I live in or have been in but any more granular than that you will have to know me better personally.

Threats of violence are inappropriate, but you can’t force anyone to like you enough to help you start your club.

Not sure why any professor at FAMU would wish to align themselves with today’s Republican parties of Florida and US. Rejecting affiliation with the likes of Governor Ron DiSaster is free speech.

I wish Ms. Lane well, I’m sure that she’ll have a great career ahead of her as a token black woman at Fox News.

There were many years in the Trump Presidency I was looking for smoking guns… there are more smoking guns presented in this filing than all Clint Eastwood movies combined.

I am crossing my fingers that Mozilla doesn’t completely break K-9 mail by forcing Thunderbird before feature parity, it’s my favourite mobile mail client. I love using the volume keys to quickly scroll through inbox messages and mark them as read. (Other clients don’t seem to mark read unless you stare at a message for 3 seconds)

Hey Mr. Kimura, where should we build our new airport?

Mr. Koizumi, we have a big plot of empty land over here, do you remember why we haven’t built anything there yet?

… No?

… Okay!

Expectation: it doesn’t work well at all

Result: It kinda works?

To Vance’s credit, he’s doing a monumental amount of damage control and sanewashing for Donald Trump and is doing a decent job at it. Yes Vance is lying through his teeth with each answer but he is markedly better at keeping his cool compared to the former Narcissist-in-Chief against VP Harris. It’s a position Walz wouldn’t envy. So overall I think this is within the best range of events Vance could expect.

They both did well at acknowledging each other and keeping this like a somewhat normal debate, can you imagine. That said, if any viewer can hold a thought without focusing solely on whatever deflection each candidate is doing, Walz is giving better answers, and Vance is putting way more false equivalencies in.

Walz is doing very well with his answers, he’s not as calculated and rehearsed as Harris, and you know having a heart makes you mess up more than the recently changed telephone options menu, but he is doing a fantastically better job at connecting with voters than Vance did. Walz’s jabs are quick and easily missed (“Wharton”) but even with apolitical people, if they understand Walz’s language then they’ll get when he is jabbing at Vance.

Obviously I was hoping Vance would fold up into a chair and was disappointed for that to not happen. More than that though is that I’m crossing my fingers the news cycle doesn’t begin pretending it’s a normal election cycle just because the VP candidates could actually look each other in the eye for a night. Idk, give it 48hours and Trump will be starved enough of attention to break the spell and make people glare at him again in disgust.

The “safe, professional and non-dangering” pilots were all sent to the west frontline already.

Please, let us Canadians take back Ted Cruz! Once he’s out you can drop him by the ranch near Grande Prairie, Alberta.

Some nasty jerks they are. Well now internationally famous nasty jerks.

I remember using Reddit years ago on Links. New Reddit was borderline unusable, old Reddit worked… okayish. How is Default web UI Lemmy on Links? Is there a nice TUI client that I guess you would use more regularly?

If heart disease and cancer are god’s will, it counts. /s

Some Texas two-step-like shenanigans going on. Like yeah, for reasons totally unrelated to the court case all our money left the company and somehow appeared in Company 2, totally separate, we have no control. Oh, we settled? Okay we’re one company again.
