    "Many, including myself, always suspected that she held this warped, antisemitic view of Israel’s self-defense against Hamas barbarism. But the cat is now out of the bag,” he said to the US outlet on Saturday.

    “Her view is as ignorant as it is malign. … To give credence publicly to this disgusting blood libel disqualifies Harris from holding any public office, let alone the presidency,” he added." (He then did a little happy jig and said to himself "we got 'er! Antisemitic married to a Jew, people are too dumb to realize I'm a lying sack of shit!")

    Heeeeereeee we go with this bullshit...

    “They give you a little extra security nowadays, you notice?”

    Who mother fucker, who gave your more security?? It was all deep state pizza Biden conspiracy b.s when you weren't happy about it, now it's magic? Of course he'll never admit he isn't being treated unfairly, he's always the victim. Strong man baby.

    Jesus fucking Christ literally billionaires buying elections... Will they riot? Of course not because they win with this. If Mark Cuban offered the same thing for Harris there would be blood in the streets and Fox news would be calling for his head after Trumps coronation...

    I didn't actually realize the numbers were that high for her... Ffs.

    They know what they're doing. The elections in swing states are always down to razor margins. The right spoiler is almost a guaranteed win for the opponent :/

    "Earlier this year, Microsoft was given a brief presentation for Squadron 42, CIG’s spin-off campaign of Star Citizen that consists of around 20 different chapters (levels) of various lengths. It’s understood that the plan for Squadron 42 is to get it out of the door as soon as possible, with directors of the company hoping the influx in cash will sustain Star Citizen’s development and help to push Squadron 42 as a multi-game series, which will see the game’s story span over several different episodes. As for when Squadron 42 will launch, I wouldn’t want to guess, but it’s understood that the game has only just made it to its “feature complete” stage, despite the claims last year."

    Nonononononono.... Microsoft means gutting the game in every way possible to get it to run on the Xbox toaster edition...

    As for the end of that, thankfully they gave a release window today (2026) I hope most of this isn't true though. What they want to make is seriously impressive

    "A little over two weeks left, and people are losing their freakin’ minds. And I get it: We have a lot more to lose than they do. If we win, their lives will improve (whether they want to admit it or not). If they win, we’ll lose our rights."

    Unfortunately it's kinda "worse" than this even...

    If we win we still almost certainly lose the Senate, so nothing happens. Because nothing happens and Faux news keeps The Base in a frothing rage, they keep/regain the house in 2026. No improvement or anything happens for the entirety of the 4 year term. If they win they win the trifecta and get their entire wishlist... :(

    I hate how "easy" their job is. Stall Democrats plan, they win. Win the trifecta and help billionaires more they win...

    July 9, 2024.

    Hmmm... I'm no calendarologist but it seems to me that October is after July...

    Thanks for the link! They didn't mention anything about the law I thought existed so I guess that's not a thing.

    If I understand correctly (however dumb I think it is) "we" give him clearance by voting for him. We are supposed to be that check.

    That's one place the founders fucked up, but also their system of elections was much different than it is now. I for one wouldn't even be able to vote since I don't own land... They never expected complete fucking morons and propagandized asshats to be voting. I believe they also expected the electors of the electoral college to override a vote for someone as bat shit crazy as Trump...

    It’s one of the reasons he has been stalling on ceasefire talks - the war is the only thing keeping him in power.

    I may be wrong about this, but I think I remember reading something last year about him being in legal trouble but there's a law that stops him from being prosecuted if the country is involved in "military operations?"

    The goddamn polls have only been getting better for him...

    He's probably, dare I say, smart for not doing many more interviews so he doesn't fuck up anything since between their plans to ratfuck the election where they can and his lead in the polls he's pretty much got this anyway :(

    I don't even like to be asked because then I have to say no and I feel bad about it or I give in because it's the "right thing to do" and I end up cursing myself for saying yes lol

    About the only things I can think of that presidents need to do that has nothing to do with being a lawyer are being the head of the military and making decisions around military operations.

    I still think it helps to be a lawyer in that respect, because you need to be able to understand and properly interpret information provided to you. The president may be "the head of the military" but they operate entirely off of the advice and information provided by their administration/military staff and then make decisions based on that information.

    Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging! I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below. Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US. From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.” Links within comment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin https://newrepublic.com/article/183971/jd-vance-weird-terrifying-techno-authoritarian-ideas https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23373795/curtis-yarvin-neoreaction-redpill-moldbug For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …
