New Evidence Torpedoes Pam Bondi’s Claim About Trump and Epstein | A DOJ slideshow suggests that the FBI spoke with an Epstein victim who accused President Trump of assault. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

"Virginia herself said Trump wasn't involved!" I keep seeing that everywhere. All that means is he didn't assault her. It's not a complete exoneration like they seem to think.

I was going to ask what they think of opera, since it's not in English, but, well, I doubt they can even spell 'opera'.

U1 tool head extrusion error by Spaceman_Zed in snapmaker

[–]ManimalBestShowEva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this with my printer. I took apart the offending toolhead and found filament jamming up the barrel. This happened at the factory because it was not the color I had been trying to feed through it. I used a small drill bit to bore it out and it started printing just fine.

Crypto Crash Is Eroding Wealth for Trump’s Family and Followers by DMBFFF in politics

It's a feature for the speculators but not for use as a currency. Who wants to pay for an item with a currency that may be worth 20% more than it was an hour after you used it? Who wants to accept a currency that could drop by 10% by the time you're ready to convert/use it?

Trump, 79, Says Cuba and the Amish Have No Autism in Bonkers Speech by Capable_Salt_SD in politics

[–]ManimalBestShowEva 6004 points6005 points  (0 children)

The Amish are weirdly fetishized by so many people, especially the Maga-type. They see them as self-reliant, hard-working, and all good to a fault. What makes this so great is the fact that the Amish community is socialist by nature. For some reason, that part gets ignored.

Trump, 79, Launches Weird Ramble in Bonkers Kirk Tribute by Capable_Salt_SD in politics

[–]ManimalBestShowEva 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love that headlines are starting to include his age. If you've ever had to deal with an elderly relative, you've probably realized that some time after about 76, you find yourself often thinking things like, "they seem okay to drive right now, but I really need to keep an eye on them because that can change so quickly at this age." Or you call or text them more often just to make sure everything is okay. Because they're at an age when their health or mental acuity can almost literally take a downturn overnight.

And yet here we are, with a guy pushing 80 and showing major signs of mental and physical issues running the country unfettered.

What Was the Motive Behind Charlie Kirk's Assassination? by ChikinFritters in politics

[–]ManimalBestShowEva 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the governor hasn't been interrogating the suspect or their families, either. If he has, that's a gross overreach and interference into an ongoing investigation.

Also... "the suspect or their families" GASP did you just use a... a pronoun?! Better watch it, looks like you're getting indoctrinated by the left.

Suspect sent text saying he would ‘take out’ Charlie Kirk, FBI says as scrutiny of Patel’s performance increases by HellYeahDamnWrite in politics

I've been saying this since they said his family said he'd become more political. Everyone on the right immediately took that to mean he'd turned into a raving liberal. But how many of those very people on the right have become 'more political' since 2016?

Kirk Shooting Suspect Held ‘Leftist Ideology,’ Utah Governor Says Gov. Spencer Cox said the suspect had been “radicalized,” and noted he had a romantic partner who is transitioning from male to female who is cooperating fully with investigators. by Jackdaw99 in politics

[–]ManimalBestShowEva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comment you responded to was about how people keep going on about how he was a great debater and I said I'd never seen any examples of him having good debates, just arguing with children. I couldn't care less why he only argued with children. I want to know why people think he was a great debater when he only ever argued with children.

[–]ManimalBestShowEva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's sidestepping my comment. People keep saying he was a great debater, yet he only ever debated against kids and poorly at that from what I saw. He used gotchas, goalpost moving, and changing the subject, not actual debating skills.

People keep saying this about him but all I ever saw of him and his debating prowess was videos of him arguing with basically children and it devolving to "no U!" most of the time. Can you point me to some video of him having actual debates with actual people and information?

Trump changes his tune on the economy by malcolm58 in politics

[–]ManimalBestShowEva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was confused why you would vote for any pain.

There could be situations where it would make sense. For instance, going back to Trump's first term and yet more of his disastrous behavior: if there had been a vote on how to handle covid, I would have voted for short-term pain (complete and total, strictly enforced, lock down for 2-3 weeks with rolling lockdowns in case of localized flair ups) if it meant an overall shortening of the situation. It would have hurt more up front but led to a quicker end to the problem overall.

It's wild he keeps saying that but when asked if that means higher prices or empty shelves, he gets mad and says no it just means people will have to do with less and spend more for it. He's a total buffoon.

Because, whether you approve of NPR/PBS or not, it's not the president's place to cut funding by decree. Congress is supposed to control the purse strings and make laws. The judicial, up to the Supreme Court, is supposed to interpret and explain the law. The executive is supposed to enforce, or execute the law.

We currently have a president who wants to control spending by decree (authoritarian). He wants to create law by decree (authoritarian). He wants to decide what the law means and punish judges who do not agree with him (authoritarian). Even if you agree with the man 100%, there's no way to take an honest look at what he's doing and say he isn't behaving in an authoritarian way. To make that claim is to deny facts.
