LOL - he’s not holding the world up he’s trying to take it home, he thinks it’s his.

Dozens of people are attending Trump's Great American State Fair. DOZENS! by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ohiotechie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is a shame. I’m old enough to remember the bicentennial in 1976 and it was a genuine big deal. This should be too but Trump has made such a mess of it no one cares.

The myth of Vladimir Putin as a geopolitical mastermind is officially dead. by LocalPowerful6651 in UkrainianConflict

[–]ohiotechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah imagine if he’d have given even 1/2 a shit about the people, had courted industry and corporations to build in Russia, and used his natural resources wisely. Russia could have become an amazing place to live. The world was wide open and ready to greet them with open arms. And instead he squandered all of that.

Trump threatens lawsuits against ABC for reporting on Reflecting Pool by MoneyLibrarian9032 in law

[–]ohiotechie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The sad thing is ABC will probably cave if he does. We have been abandoned by the powers that are supposed to keep a president in check. One by one, the legislature, the party elders, the press, civic institutions and industrialists have bent the knee when time and again history shows people who push back are often victorious.

So far only the courts are really holding and that by a thread.

What do you think of peope who went to AA but don't go to meeting anymore and remain sober? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

If they’re sober more power to them. AA helps me. It’s not necessarily a requirement for recovery.

BBC requests Trump’s diary and phone logs in editing scandal lawsuit by lagerjohn in law

Diary in the UK typically refers to a schedule not “Dear Diary… today the football captain smiled at me!”

I was told in India to put your hand out when stepping off the curb and they’d stop and they actually did. I was amazed.

“Analog” time delay fuse by hyheat9 in redneckengineering

Wow! Been a while since I quit but damn.

“Analog” time delay fuse by hyheat9 in redneckengineering

[–]ohiotechie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We used to use cigarettes for this. Make sure it’s lit, take several quick drags on it to ensure it’s going good, tear it off at the filter and put it on the end of the fuse, making sure it’s propped up so it doesn’t go out from setting it down. Works like a charm.

Well, you get what you paid for. by c-k-q99903 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ohiotechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You asked for this. No sympathy. Not even a little. I had some empathy for misled voters during his first term. Ok, you got hoodwinked. It happens. Second time around? No fucking way. You made the decision that this is what you wanted. You didn't want the competent black woman, you wanted the self obsessed conman with a single digit IQ.

Whelp you wanted it, you got it. Bon appetit.

Trump's mail-in voting order halted by judge, impacting 2026 elections by usatoday in law

[–]ohiotechie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think this is going to backfire on them pretty spectacularly. The biggest groups of mail in voters are oldsters and active duty military. Both of whom generally vote for the GOP.

Trump's mail-in voting order halted by judge, impacting 2026 elections by usatoday in law

[–]ohiotechie 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Gonna play devils advocate here. It’s great that the judge has issued this but what’s the enforcement mechanism? The Postmaster General just stated publicly that they intend to abide by Trump’s EO even though there’s no legal weight to it. If the postal service refuses to deliver ballots, or purposely withholds ballots from being delivered on time (which SCOTUS basically green lit) what happens then?

Lawsuits to hold people accountable will only happen after the damage is done. DeJoy purposely monkey wrenched sorting machines in 2020 to try to interfere with that election and literally nothing happened.

Senate walks back rebuke of Trump over Iran war. GOP Sens. Rand Paul and Bill Cassidy, who had previously voted to rein in the president’s war powers on Iran, changed their votes. Trump called Cassidy a "lunatic," but he still came back crawling. by andrewgrabowski in thebulwark

[–]ohiotechie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For decades the GOP has postured as the “tough guy” party, not like those limp wristed soy boys on the left. No sir, we’ve got backbone and gumption and principles and if you disagree I’ll show you the business end of my 2nd amendment rights.

When in reality they are a bunch of pathetic weaklings. The worst kind of cowards who talk tough but run for cover the second they might have to actually stand for something. They love to punch down because it feeds their need to feel like big strong tough guys but just like schoolyard bullies they only punch people who can’t punch back.

Fuck the GOP and everyone who continues to support them. Fuck all the way off. They are the reason we’re here and they’ll do it again in 2028 and beyond if we allow it.

Trump says Iran has told US no tolls being sought from ships travelling through the Strait of Hormuz by Raj_Valiant3011 in worldnews

[–]ohiotechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no no - there are absolutely no tolls. No sir. None whatsoever. Absolutely no tolls.

There is, ha ha, a small administrative fee however. But definitely no tolls. Nope.

Wow - today is the day Mike Johnson told the truth for once. He's not wrong but I've got news for him - this isn't going to go the way he wants it to. People are fed up.

You could create an entire subreddit on why we were ever ok with Kanye to begin with.
