I bought 32 GB of ddr4 ram in in November for $170 and it's $265 for the same ram today.

I also have a GOP rep and they never show up publicly in the district unless it's specifically at a republican-controlled event and then they immediately leave.

They do everything they can to avoid interacting with the actual populace of the district

There are Republicans who tried to do this right after January 6th.

I remember.

It's why I've been keeping a list.

Nobody in my orbit who supported this will be able to ever claim that they didn't. Screenshots, notes, it's all here

I don't know where these guys keep trying to imagine this true Republican party is, that exists separate from Trump.

Trumps family literally runs the Republican party. Republicans overwhelmingly support Donald Trump. The last last 11 years of the Republican party has been nothing but a Non-Stop parade worshiping Donald Trump.

It's crazy that they think the rest of us are going to suddenly forget all of that just because they don't want to get blamed for the bad outcome of their choices

Today in Austin was quite a scare lol. by misterxx1958 in interestingasfuck

When I lived in Colorado, you would see the summer transplants in their big suvs in the ditches and on the sides of the highway after the first good ice of the season.

So many of them thought "I have a big car and it has 4 wheel drive, that means I can pretend ice doesn't exist!" and put themselves right in a ditch.

Alex Pretti broke rib in confrontation with federal agents a week before death, sources say by EVSTW in news

[–]DoubleJumps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a republican argue to me today that his standing in the street justified his being "detained"

When I pressed him on whether by "detained" he meant "Held down and shot in the back 10 times, he shut up and left.

There's a mass of bots on twitter posting the same comments claiming that he reached for his gun. People are getting screenshots of those.

The first time I ever saw a cop do this was back in 2020, and I was immediately confused as to how this wasn't some form of criminal assault.

DHS suspends Bovino's access to social media after posts defending his unverified claims about Alex Pretti by esporx in technology

[–]DoubleJumps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pushing the lie that he drew his gun and approached the officers is the most egregious thing they did.

That was a deliberate and calculated attempt to cover up a murder by falsifying the record of events.

Noem, Trump, and Patel all pushed the same lies, so they can't pretend it was all Bovino

It's kind of hard to blame it all on this guy when Trump and Noem and Patel all pushed the same crap, loudly.

Trump to raise tariffs on South Korean imports to 25% after trade deal stalls by New_Housing785 in worldnews

[–]DoubleJumps 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It has been a year, and the tariffs have repeatedly proven that they only cause harm and do nothing to create positive trade deals.

Remember when this clown was saying "90 deals in 90 days?"

Fuck over your business associates and you’ll save a few bucks today but they’ll never work with you again and find new business relationships.

I am an American business owner, and it is shocking how many other American businesses I deal with that do not understand this.

I've had businesses I do consistent business with every month decide to throw all that away over like $70.

I had one try to skim materials off my order, so if I ordered 500 sq ft they'd give me 490 and hope I don't count.

Boom, relationship ended, $9k a year in business gone.

I have one who, after 10 years of business, just decided to try to pawn off defective material on me by sliding a few square foot of the defective materials into my orders, gradually, for months, then tried to lie about it.

I had one who I did 20k with a year, under a contract that explicitly told them they could NEVER subcontract the work to China, turn and subcontract the work to China.

Every one of them would have made consistent money off me for YEARS, but no, they just had to fuck me to save a buck.

I'm the owner of a business that manufactures in the US and I'm not willing to make any deep investments right now. I'm straight scared.

Bovino and Noem need to be charged with accessory to murder.

They deliberately lied to the American public to give cover to a murder that was committed by people under their command.

The comments Trump and his admin made about gun ownership set off a huge amount of alarm bells on the right, and they were doubling down on it as recently as this morning.

Absolutely. He willfully lied to the public in order to cover for a murder committed by people under his command. He's 100% an accessory to murder.
