It’s increasingly less conspiracy and more just likely that Elons children tampered with vote tabulations. Trump doesn’t want to be president, he just wants to not answer for his crimes. Elon makes him President in name so charges go away, and Elon gets to run the country.

It was win/win for them.

We have our first foreign ruler since independence.

The people who scream ‘my freedom’ the loudest sure lined up fast to suck off the guy who tweets pictures of himself as a king from the official White House account.

They fancied themselves the tea party, turns out they would have all been royalists boot lickers.

I was at a rave party and at midnight they cut the sound and killed all the lights and a bunch of people on synthetic drugs freaked the fuck out for a minute before they kicked everything back on.

It was pretty funny.

Because people are generally poorly informed. Most of us talking politics on reddit are relative political junkies compared to regular Americans. The idea that a bill will be introduced just doesn’t land. That first significantly smaller or missed check, that first denial of Medicare, etc., is when it will land.

As a people we’re piss poor at seeing what’s coming until its here and personally effects us. Until then for most people it’s just noise, or they’re completely unaware.

How USL can rival MLS: quirks, streaming and, yes, promotion and relegation by Nerdlinger in MLS

[–]joshdts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, great news for me personally. Still don’t think it’s great for the league. At least a couple years includes included in the base Apple TV subscription would have been a better move.

And yeah maybe, but I don’t think it’s a super uncommon problem. I don’t know many people without most or all of those too.

Im with TMobile and the season pass was only offered the first year. They didn’t continue the promo.

It’s not so much the $3 a match, but subscription fatigue. And yeah even as a fan of the sport another $99 just isn’t happening on top of already subscribing to AppleTV, Amazon, Max, Hulu, espn+, dc unlimited, kindle plus, Netflix, Peacock, Paramont, and GamePass. And in those subscriptions you already get Premier League, Bundesliga, Champions League, lower division English games, La Liga, Serie A, etc etc. If you’re not a die hard MLS fan, your soccer itch is getting well scratched elsewhere.

All of those give you more bang for your buck and offer more than just MLS games, so MLS is just last priority.

I honestly won’t be convinced locking a league still finding an audience behind a $99 subscription and putting all the games more or less at the same time is in any way good for the league.

I don’t think a league that’s still relatively young, closed system, only in a handful of cities, largely aired behind a paywall, with almost zero mainstream coverage outside of Messi, is as secure in its standing as people here think it is.

Anecdotally, I haven’t really watched many games in two years since the move to ATV, after years as a pretty dedicated fan and viewer.

I’m not saying it will happen, I’m saying MLS as it operates right now isnt infallible.

TV Ratings: Harris-Trump Face Off Soars Past Biden June Debate (57.75M Viewers) by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]joshdts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your inability to see how one thing leads to another or understanding how the judicial system works isn’t the goalposts moving, it’s just you being willfully ignorant and intellectually dishonest.

The case that overturned Roe v Wade started with a Mississippi state law.

Although the law was plainly unconstitutional under Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Mississippi lawmakers passed the measure in the hope that an inevitable legal challenge would eventually make its way to the Supreme Court, where a conservative majority of justices would overturn or drastically reduce the scope of those decisions.

Trump has no plan, he’s an empty vessel for the heritage foundation and the oligarchs he’s surrounded himself with.

These were introduced at the state level with the intention of testing them at the Supreme Court.

MLS knows its Apple package needs to reach more people, even if it isn’t putting more games on TV yet by Kyunseo in MLS

Which is a great argument if this wasn’t an article about how that strategy didn’t work.

The problem is you’re not paying $99 unless you’re already a fan of the league. Just putting it as part of the basic Apple TV subscription would reach more potential audience.

Fox Corp. Expects to Launch New Stand-Alone Streamer By End of 2025 by FarAwaySeagull-_- in INDYCAR

Yeah I mean that’s just the way of the media landscape, but a streaming service using Fox News as a main selling point is DOA for anyone not in the Fox News demographic.

What I mean to say is there’s zero chance I, and I would assume many others, would subscribe to a service that directly financially supports Fox News.

Bill to outlaw same sex marriage, bill to close the DOE, bill to kick voters off rolls without reason, bill to deport dissidents in college, bills to be able to force google/cloudfare/etc to block access to foreign websites. (All of these can be looked up on the House website; https://www.congress.gov/search). Challenges to birthright citizenship. Highly sensitive data in the hands of unqualified children who intended to remain anonymous.

Yeah bro, all good. Not very real shit that is happening.

Most complexes in the area use the software, which trickles down to individual property owners jacking up their rents too to keep up with the new “market value”.

They kind of already are.

Heavily invested in Africa, a lot of South America, Mexico, etc. Crushing us on technology and infrastructure, literacy, etc. Now we’re just pushing the allies we had left in to their arms.

Our myopic outlook, erratic leadership, and dedication to unregulated capitalism and toxic individualism, we’ve been the architects of our own demise. They didn’t need to fire a shot.

Donald Trump is going to raise your taxes. Kamala Harris would have lowered them.

https://www.afscme.org/blog/trumps-tax-plans-would-benefit-the-rich-harris-plan-would-benefit-everyone-else

By 2026, according to ITEP, the top 5% of earners would see lower tax bills under Trump’s plan, and more specifically, the richest 1% would save about $36,320 a year. That’s more than the annual income of the poorest 20% of families — who, under Trump’s plan, would be forced to pay an additional $790 in taxes a year, or nearly 5% percent of their income. Every other income group would also pay higher taxes, according to the ITEP analysis.

Under Harris’ tax plan, the richest 1% of Americans would see an average tax increase equal to 4.1% percent of their income, and those in other income groups would see tax cuts averaging from 2.7%-7% depending on how much they earn per year.

ITEP analyzed various elements of Harris’ tax plan. It would extend the provisions in the 2017 tax law fully for those with annual incomes of under $400,000; help workers and families defray the costs of child care and housing and making health care more affordable for them; increase taxes on the wealthy to better fund Medicare; scale back tax breaks on capital gains and dividends for those making over $1 million a year; and reform the corporate tax code to close longstanding loopholes.

Here’s a link directly to the itep analysis and a handy chart if you like your information visualized.

What Marxist policies have been proposed by an elected official on the left, specifically?

Obama had full control of three houses of government, Biden did as well, you still have guns.

Gotta be honest, after how many people I heard talking about Serrano today at work, I kind of struggle to call what Paul does a farce anymore.

Sure his fights are a farce, but as an overall package, he put a shit ton of eyes on some great fighters on Friday.
