  • Trump has spent almost a third of presidency at his own properties, new report shows

    Jump

  • I don't know if he's doing it this time as well - I'd be surprised if he's not - but last term he kept putting the presidential guests up to stay at his properties at a marked up room cost too

  • Are you still talking about raping children?? That's unbelievable. The Washington Commanders need to change their name now!!

  • House Republicans block Democratic maneuver to force release of Epstein files

    Jump

  • In situations like this where it clearly won't matter, I've always seen it as basically a token vote that they pass around to whoever's turn it is. Everybody on the team gets a few votes throughout their term where they can vote against something that will pass anyway and then they can turn around later when their constituents are mad about whatever and just say "but remember? I voted against that thing you hated!"

    I could of course be completely wrong but it just seems like the math just barely works out in the majority party's favor way too much to be a coincidence.

  • I'd say they do them justice to some degree no? I quite enjoyed the first movie, it changed some stuff from the book for sure but I feel like it captured the same feel for the most part and does the story justice. Admittedly, the lost world was a bit of a mess as they combined some stuff from different books and changed the ending for the worse I'd say but Ive seen much worse adaptations in the theatre.

  • Flooded Texas County Turned Down Funds for Warning System From Biden Admin in 2021: 'We Don't Want to Be Bought'

    Jump

  • "We don't want to be bought by the federal government, thank you very much," a resident said. "We'd like the federal government to stay out of Kerr County and their money."

    While the county ultimately kept the funds, they allocated the majority, about $8 million, to sheriff's department upgrades and public employee stipends

    I... what? "We don't want your stinking money. We'll still take it tho... We just won't spend it on what we said we would. That'll show you dumb idgits!"

  • Trump Rages At Reporter Who Refuses To Stick To ‘Positive’ Questions

    Jump

  • It's not even a negative question really. It boils down to "what do you say to the people who disagree with what your are doing/planning on doing?"

    Oooooh the horror of confronting the very idea of people disagreeing with you. What a nasty question.

  • This viral video has people talking about Christianity versus ‘MAGA Christianity’

  • NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander handcuffed by ICE

    Jump

  • Not OP and certainly IANAL but as far as I know there is NO law that forbids the use of masks for ICE agents. However, hiding their ID or refusing to identify themselves during detention or arrests IS illegal. However, the law states they have to show ID/identify themselves “as soon as practical and safe to do so," so they could theoretically just say they thought they'd be in danger by showing ID as flimsy of an excuse as that sounds.

    However, it is rather hilarious that they are pretty much all wearing masks while the political party parading them around is currently on a very real rampage to stop pretty much anyone in public from wearing masks for any type of public demonstration or event.

  • Gov. Abbott deploys over 5,000 Texas National Guard troops ahead of planned 'No Kings' protests

    Jump

  • It's theatre. Plain and simple. They just want the spectacle of unruly violent riots and the whether that happens or not, they will make it look like it happened. Nothing makes a protest look like a warzone like the literal military being there.

  • Bad times for science intelligence with Trump

  • Trump team scrambles after report he’s killing manufacturing jobs

    Jump

  • This is exactly what some of the biggest manufacturers of cars in America are thinking of doing. They manufacture in America but a lot of the parts are imported and would cost them a fortune to import. It's cheaper to move factories to China, build the full part, and then ship it over because the tarrifs are higher on the individual tech parts inside the assembly than a finished product using those parts.

  • Your guide to Cryptogate, Trump’s $4 billion corruption scandal that’s 10 times bigger than Watergate

    Jump

  • That was my first thought too. I guess they mean like bigger as in impactful or more serious?

  • Second court blocks Trump tariffs as 'unlawful'

    Jump

  • Oh they're already on it. Biden was the winner btw. When asked about how crappy the economy has been since the tarrifs he said perhaps the most expected thing possible:

    "I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy because he's done a terrible job."

  • GOP lawmaker left speechless when asked if he's trans during a hearing

    Jump

  • I mean this is categorically false. The gold medal winner for the women's marathon at the last Olympics had a lower time than the average finisher on the men's side. 10th place in the men's marathon would have won gold in women's by over 15 minutes. Even on a pretty basic level, an 18 year old woman has the same qualifying time as a 60 year old man for the Boston Marathon.

    The only time I've seen women compete are when the length of the races get massive. I'm talking like ultra marathons or the moab 240 or something. It is possible to see women legitimately compete with men and even win there but it's still pretty rare (look up Courtney Dauwalter if you want to see something really impressive). It is very interesting to watch the gap close as the length of the races increases tho.

  • 'Call This What It Is—Theft': Republicans Approve Largest Medicaid, SNAP Cuts in US History

  • Lol the country has gone through two wars based around revolting... It can and will happen. Definitely not with this tho... You need people pissed off. Right now, we have some people pissed while a whooole lot of other people are not only happy with what's happening, but in a state of pure ecstasy.

  • Trump Rages At Walmart For Raising Prices Over Tariffs

    Jump

  • This is one of the most glaring problems with tariffs. Companies raise their prices and the tariff becomes basically a tax on the people. But within that is hidden the fact that gigantic companies can often hold off on raising prices because they have the money to deal with it in the short term and the massive markets to pull in discounted prices from suppliers. The result is humongous businesses like Walmart keep their prices low through the tariffs while your mom and pop shop down the street has no choice but to raise prices or go out of business cause they don't have the kind of margins bigger companies do. They raise their prices, everyone flocks to huge businesses like Walmart who kept their prices lower, then mom and pop close up shop cause they aren't selling anything at the higher prices. Then Walmart can do whatever they want cause they just tagged tariffs into the ring and murdered the competition. Tariffs have their place but they largely suck ass in a multitude of ways.

  • Kristi Noem refuses to even look at photo of Abrego Garcia’s tattoos

    Jump

  • This is a strange take. Just because they blatantly skirt (or take a big fat dump on) the law and ignore their own hypocrisy routinely certainly doesn't mean it's useless or stupid to continually point it out.

  • It's so odd to me. Him as a person is easily the biggest reason I dislike him (and it's a long list). But I've spoken to multiple people about that very thing and have gotten some truly odd responses. I've been told that they wouldn't want their children to grow up and be like him. That they wouldn't want to work for him as a boss. That they wouldn't trust the things that he says. And that they wouldn't want their family or friends to behave the same way as far as the trash talking and being... very liberal with the truth.

    But somehow, he's still the best president we've ever had and an amazing, strong, intelligent person. They trust his decisions and think he's the perfect man for the job of fostering foreign relations. I simply cannot make heads or tails of this. It's like people somehow have lower standards for the president of the United States as a friend, family member, or coworker.
