  • Mike Johnson Caught on Camera Admitting Trump Is ‘Unwell’

    Jump

  • And, unfortunately, this particular media outlet has a habit of it, too. I take what Daily Beast says with a big dose of skepticism until shown otherwise.

    This headline seems reasonable, though.

  • Government to shut down after midnight barring last minute breakthrough in Congress

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, I think the parts they care about would continue as "essential" while the parts everyone else cares about would shut down.

    Homeowner Baffled After Washing Machine Uses 3.6GB of Internet Data a Day

  • We always leave the door open. The amount of mold has gotten awful at times and I even live in a pretty arid climate. I never had this issue with top loaders.

  • Thanks! I've been frustrated by my LG and won't buy one again. I've disassembled it twice to clean out mold. I think I'll try Bosch next time. I love my Bosch dishwasher.

  • Huh, what brand? Having a smart one didn't bother me so long as it didn't require a connection, so maybe I didn't look THAT hard.

  • It can actually be a little hard to find models from major brands without wifi. That said, there is no reason that you have to give it access to your router. I worry that they'll start saying that a wifi connection is mandatory at some point, though.

  • Donald Trump Threatens to Sue ABC Over Jimmy Kimmel's Return

    Jump

  • "I'm gonna sue!" seems to be his version of "I'm telling! You're going to be in such big trouble!"

  • Stephen Colbert Revives Right-Wing Alter Ego to Rip Donald Trump on Free Speech

    Jump

  • It is only both sidesing if you don't understand satire. He is pretending to be a right-wing pundit but rephrasing what they say in such a way as to point out how bad the right-wing talking points are.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls For United States to Be Split Up, Declares Country ‘No Longer Safe’ For Anyone

    Jump

  • How can we save Colorado and New Mexico from this hypothetical "Central States of America" hell hole?

  • Fed Governor Cook declared her Atlanta property as “vacation home,” documents show

    Jump

  • While I agree that many land lords are predatory, there are reasons that people want to rent sometimes. To give one example, should a college kid be required to buy a home to have a place to live during college?

    I'm not going to give more examples right now because it's not really worth my time but there are good reasons that someone might want to rent and that necessitates that there are places available to be rented.

    I'd argue for limits on ownership and significant progressive property taxes for ownership beyond a certain number of units.

  • Scientific unprogress...

  • It typically is pasteurized if it comes from a woman other than the baby's own mother. If it is donated milk, for example.

  • Social Security data chief resigns after whistleblower complaint over DOGE data access

    Jump

  • Yeah, I do too. I just wish it was otherwise. I wish people with integrity could stick it out.

  • Social Security data chief resigns after whistleblower complaint over DOGE data access

    Jump

  • I deeply appreciate his whistle blower report. I wish someone with his level of integrity hadn't resigned, though. Resigning means you're done fighting. That worked as a protesting previous administration's but means they'll put in someone much worse in this one.

  • JD Vance Says He’s Ready to Be President If Trump’s Health Fails

    Jump

  • To be fair, though, Trump is deeply unlikable for many people. I've had almost a physical reaction to hearing him speak or seeing him since his debates against Hillary. He's always seemed gross and slimy to me.

    In other words, just because you and I see JD as unlikable doesn't mean that MAGA will also find him unlikable. In fact, Vance's approval rating among republicans is 89% favorable while among democrats it is 3% favorable as of the beginning of August.

  • JD Vance Says He’s Ready to Be President If Trump’s Health Fails

    Jump

  • I don't think they'll deconvert. I do hope they will become apathetic without their "charismatic" leader. I don't think Vance will be able to hold people's attention as well or rile them up to the same degree.

    Side note: Calling Trump "charismatic" makes me want to vomit, but apparently he is for some people...

  • Too true.

    Jump

  • No, it says that hard work "leads to success" not that "hard work is success". Typically, when applied to people, success doesn't mean working hard. It means attaining something the person wants. In the case of a donkey, their personal definition of success is likely different than for a person. That is what I meant by my comment.

  • Too true.

    Jump

  • If I'm a donkey, I define it as having good apples, tasty carrots, lots of oats, and companionship from other animals and humans.

    I'm also amazed that this comment, of all of my comments, is one of my most downvoted on lemmy. I thought it was pretty tame and just pointed out the silliness of the meme.

  • Too true.

    Jump

  • This depends on how you define success.

    Edit: Huh, I thought this was a pretty tame comment. I just mean that donkeys likely have a different idea of "success" than people do. I'm not quite sure why this is being taken so negatively. I just thought the meme was kind of silly and dumb.

  • Jeffries hints at more Democratic redistricting if GOP presses on

    Jump

  • What is this "if" business? They've been openly doing this for decades. Take REDMAP for example. Democrats have failed to respond.

    As long as democrats fail to respond and just play defense, they will continue to need 53% of the vote to win the presidency and will continue losing federal and state legislative majorities.
