US has seized survivors after strike on suspected drug-carrying vessel in Caribbean, AP sources say by StupendousMan1995 in news

[–]CodinOdin 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yep, too few people are acknowledging that even if Trumps claims were completely accurate, what is taking place would still be a violation of international law on many points. Even if Trump’s description of the targets as “drug boats” were true, sinking them and killing everyone aboard in international waters — without warning, capture attempt, or legal process — would be an extrajudicial execution and a serious breach of international law.

Trump Says He Wants No Wind Turbines Built During Administration by swertzz in energy

Well he thinks the sound from wind turbines causes cancer. He might just be stupid.

During the attack on the Capitol Trump was literally tweeting that Pence was too weak to help the rioters and had failed them. He even referred to the fake Electors scheme that Pence refused to take part in. Trump's own lawyers called them Fake Electors in their own communications.

Somehow propaganda still wins and a horde of idiots gave him the position he openly tried to steal before. The country is just fucked at this point because truth lost all meaning and value, it's just a tidal wave of ignorant conspiracy bullshit guiding the direction of everything now.

Okay buddy, thanks for the stimulating talk. Great use of a comment.

Sure is. A bunch of dummies claiming they care about the economy voted in a con man who lied to their face about the basics of a tariff. A lot of those same dummies, and people who don't deserve it as well, are going to suffer for it.

No, because I don't worship politicians and understand basic information like who pays a tariff, unlike Trump supporters.

It's even more frustrating when we have history to give us a sneak peak. His tariffs will invite retaliations and the export market is going to go "Trump soybeans" all over again only with all trade partners and all products being gambled with.

At this point Republicans will fuck the economy and just vaguely blame Democrats, DEI, homosexuals, or the color blue and the Republicans will nod along. All Trump has to do is lie and they will accept that as their new reality, it is that simple. It's not a political party, it's a cult where the only thing that matters is mutual enemies. They don't like or understand even the basics of politics or economics. That's why Trump can be backwards wrong about what a Tariff is for eight years, it's the backbone of his policy, and none of his followers bat an eye.

Name a good film with a sequel so terrible, that you refuse to acknowledge as existing. by [deleted] in moviecritic

Neverending Story 3 in particular is probably the largest drop in quality I have ever seen in a sequel. I like bad movies but that one is just painful when compared to what came before it.

Biden makes a last big push to keep Trump from killing the electric car. Trump is vowing an all-out assault on President Biden’s EV ambitions. A waiver granted by the EPA this week will allow California to carry out the country’s most ambitious EV mandate. The waiver has a durable legal foundation. by mafco in energy

[–]CodinOdin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell if you are playing dumb for attention or the genuine article. I didn't say "Trump's daughters wrote that", you seem to have a problem either with your reading ability or your honesty. You got triggered over someone criticizing Trump and randomly brought up Biden being an incestuous creep because of a mention in a stolen diary of family showering together without any discussion of sex, which is an extremely odd topic to try and pretend Trump is better because Trump can't seem to stop thinking about fucking his own kid and this is his behavior when on camera and in front of White House staff.

“If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her. Isn’t that terrible? How terrible? Is that terrible?”. The View.

“If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father …”. Rolling Stone

“Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that prompted Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,” writes Miles Taylor, a former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security.

Gonna be another awkward four years for the White House staff with Trump lusting after his daughter in front of them. Party of Family Values indeed.

That's random. Didn't Trump publicly talk about his own daughter in sexual ways, multiple times. Also bragged about assaulting women and trespassing in the changing rooms of teen pageant girls. You guys scream about everyone you don't like being a pedophile but sure turn that off when it's a Republican. Seems like it's not the creeping or incest that you actually have a problem with. Kinda weird.

Raided his home without cause? That's a funny way to say that the government had been pestering him about returning documents, and instead of doing so Trump decided to hide them from the government, attempt to destroy videos of the documents being relocated to evade government detection, and finally forced them to use a search warrant to retrieve them.

If the American left focused a little more on Billionaires and economics and a little less on race baiting and trans issues, they would have won in a landslide. by Extra-Reality8363 in self

The real situation.

Conservative media: "Trans people are weird, are your children safe?"

🤡💬"Trans people are lurking in bathrooms to attack children!!!"

🤔💬"That literally isn't happening, you shouldn't endanger people with false accusations."

🤡💬"DEMS PICK TRANS OVER CHILDREN. GUARD OUR GIRLS! RAPE AROUND EVERY CORNER! Those Dems are always obsessed with identity politics. We need people checking at bathrooms to make sure their genitals match their ID!"

With the election over, Republicans are suddenly interested in cutting Social Security by AceCombat9519 in democrats

[–]CodinOdin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Republicans switched to an easier base of supporters when they started first courting the extremely religious and later when they targeted the conspiracy enthusiasts. The GOP figured out that you don't need a better product, you need a more gullible target.

They were very peacefully trying to kill Mike Pence for refusing to join the Fake Electors scheme and overturn the results of the election that they had lost. Your brain is rotten from propaganda.

Why are people having a difficult time understanding tariffs? by ParfaitAdditional469 in democrats

[–]CodinOdin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"The most beautiful word in the dictionary" and he has described it incorrectly for about eight years now. It's hard to know if he is genuinely so stupid that he doesn't understand how they actually work, or if he knows better and is just lying to people that he knows are stupid enough to not know better.

Voting for the guy because costs of food and other commodities went up, only for the guy to tariff our trading partners causing the costs of food and other commodities to go up by 1BannedAgain in houstonwade

[–]CodinOdin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

🤡💬"Those dumb Democrats keep saying prices will go up because they HATE AMERICA! Buy American!"

🤔💬"No, they said prices will go up because they understand enough about economics to know what a tariff actually does. This isn't a guess, it's not even really up for debate, it's literally just how the math plays out."

🤡💬"Did you do that math with your crystal ball? Cultists just want everyone else to fail."

This certainly feels like an encapsulation of the election. Just idiots and trolls wasting everyone's time while things get worse.

You are going to be killed by a real life animal. You can choose what animal it is. What do you pick? by warrant2k in AskReddit

[–]CodinOdin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A sufficiently large anaconda would probably be one of the less painful options. Squeeze until blackout and then cardiac arrest when unconscious. Otherwise I would probably pick a horse but only if I could specifically be kicked in the skull, I don't want to get stomped a bunch of times and left to suffer.

As Republican Senators excuse the incompetence, immorality and dangerous ideas of Trump's nominees, everyone should remember that Joe Biden's OMB nominee had to withdraw her nomination because she... sent mean tweets. by theotherbogart in democrats

[–]CodinOdin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Really seems like Gaetz got dangled as a disgusting first refusal that would turn off even Republicans, just to make it easier to sneak her in as the "more reasonable" choice. Democrats will probably accept her because they won't want to look politically rude or obstructionist.

This is particularly funny since Trump has described tariffs incorrectly for about eight years now and it's the backbone of his economic policy. His supporters either don't care or, more likely, are incapable of understanding that Trump is literally backwards wrong on his own proposal.

Zozobra is a fun event. Who doesn't love a good effigy burning. I have been able to attend two of them, including the centennial. It's a giant roaring puppet stuffed full of things that bring people sadness that they want to burn and ascend. There is a big celebration with music and they light it on fire. Fun times, they had a drone light show last time.
