What automated mower do you have?

I wonder if right wing fascism will arrive more easily and more quickly if we vote Biden vs sitting on our hands and watching trump be elected. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned but I’ll try give the non fascism side a leg up every opportunity I get.

Context is important: this is trump so it’s not going to impact his candidacy. If the context were Biden, however, …

At this point, the only ones debating/wanting to debate are the losers.

Based on personal experience, they take you off the plane to a medical team who will evaluate you, run an EKG for example. They can refuse to let you board another flight depending on their evaluation.

The worst is when you fall asleep on the plane for ages, wake up in your seat, and they still haven’t taken off.

Biden and Trump are the same, and the country is worse off now than in 2020? You are clinically insane.

Newsom lost me as a national candidate when he vetoed several important and impactful bills passed by the CA legislature. He clearly did so because he was trying to ensure he wouldn’t put off a potential right wing electorate for the presidency.

Those are old concerns, as you say. But just because you survived and just because those are not realistic threats today doesn’t mean all ok. There are different and even worse concerns today.

Shorter answer: yes, polystyrene is toxic.

My view: if users want to see mastodon content then they should go to mastodon. I say this as a mastodon user. Lemmy isn’t an RSS and microblog reader, it’s an entity all of its own and needs to evolve its own culture.

Yes, same take but with no need to mention her having dedicated her life to destroy the legitimacy of the Senate and the Judicial branch. Because she didn’t do that, McConnell did, and continues to do so. Bottom line, The Nation says she needs to resign, just like McConnell needs to.

Select quotes:

“Two-thirds of Californians tell pollsters they think that Feinstein is unfit to stay as their senator. A majority of Democratic voters want her to resign. (I suspect, in their defense, that those who answer that they don’t want her to resign simply haven’t been reading the news about her state of acute unwellness.) Yet resign she won’t…”

“…because of Feinstein’s unfathomable stubbornness, for all intents and purposes California is down to only one fully functioning senator.”

“I agree with GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley on almost nothing of political substance. But she’s not wrong when she says that aged political leaders ought to face regular mental competency tests, in the same way as elderly drivers have to regularly retake parts of the driving test to weed out those who have become too impaired to safely navigate the roadways. If there were such a competency test for politicians, Californians would almost certainly be getting ready, right about now, to welcome a replacement for their senior senator.”

The strategy here is to be able to say Biden was impeached, just like Trump was, when it comes to 2024. Devalue the process. Neutralize Trump’s impeachments. You say Biden’s is illegitimate? So does trump about his.

It doesn’t matter to this strategy if the claims have any value. It doesn’t matter if they never get voted on, either. Just having an inquiry could be enough.

Like the time trump held a campaign rally in the Rose Garden of the White House.

From the article:

"Google previously ran a pilot program that let political emails bypass the Gmail spam filter. Google said in a January 2023 court filing that “the RNC has chosen not to participate in Google’s FEC-approved Pilot Program”

Firstly, what the hell, Google? Also, on brand for GOP to refuse a solution (to a problem of their own making, with spam-style emails) in preference for pushing an unfounded grievance into the ground.

Seems like that would be a good outcome. Less needless consumption.

It’s always supposedly about protecting the little guy, the small business person. While also, just coincidentally mind you, also protecting mega corporations that bankroll the GOP.
