It’s legal in Florida, where Trump voted.

It was one of those one person family bathrooms. I had a 3 hour wait and a bottle of rum.

I was pouring rum into it.

Right, if all you eat is meat, wheat, corn syrup and potatoes, no problem!

I was in an airport bathroom and somehow the auto soap dispenser managed to squirt soap into my open cup of coffee. Fuck those things.

He spent billions of dollars to buy 9% of Twitter, was offered a board seat, it didn’t work out, then he made a formal offer. This apparently followed some drug soaked night at Larry Ellison’s, but it was never a joke. Maybe a Schrodinger’s joke.

He started out by buying 9% of Twitter and violating financial regulations by not disclosing it. There’s an article with a timeline here: https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/twitter-elon-musk-timeline-what-happened-so-far-rcna57532

He did overpay. He could have gotten it for cheaper. Considering how much money he has though, and the other primary investors being the Saudis, it didn’t matter much.

That doesn’t make any sense because he was the one who offered to buy it in the first place. He signed binding contract to purchase it, then tried to back out prob not because he didn’t want it, but he realized he was overpaying. He has obviously loved owning Twitter as far as the attention and social power he gained.

He should have paid the $1 billion to back out and made another offer, but he’s sleazy, prideful, stingy and stubborn and wanted to back out for free by employing bullshit excuses and lawyers.

It’s those darn liberal environmental and labor regulations

Why try that? It’s terribly regressive economic and taxation policy. It’s essentially a huge sales tax.

That’s the problem. Trump is a complete fucking idiot, so just because something is a terrible strategy doesn’t mean he won’t do it. Look what happened last time with the tariffs on Chinese goods and the small trade war he sparked that screwed over soy exports. Did Trump learn anything from that? Or his voters? Evidently not.

It sure would help if Americans weren’t generally ignorant about uh… tons of stuff and especially anything that involves other countries. All sorts of fruits and vegetables are imported - green beans, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, lettuce, berries, bananas, onions, cauliflower, broccoli, eggplant. And then at the same time, the Trump bros want to crack down on groups of people who make up a large portion of the domestic agricultural workforce? It’s difficult to see some conservative policies as intended to do anything other than just fuck people over and cause chaos.

It’s true, his dementia, inate stupidity and lack of interest gives him plausible deniability for many topics.

No no, after months of reading the same 6 people post inane shit on Lemmy I learned that the Gaza situation is entirely due to JOR BIDE N who loves GENORCIDE. Israel apparently didn’t do anything.

Yeah, but he and his supporters don’t understand that technicality or gaf about it.

I haven’t had the impression that progressives have been happy with the increasingly lenient policies of DAs in various cities for the past few years regarding crimes like burglary, auto theft and shoplifting. In Denver for instance, police have said that they don’t really bother investigating some crimes since basically the policy is to let repeat offenders out the next day on PR and essentially wait for them to victimize someone badly enough to stay in jail for a while. As someone not remotely conservative, it’s amazing to side with police not doing their jobs due to DAs acting like that.

Some people speculate it’s the gender difference, like how HRC was typically called Hillary. I’m not sure though. I call her Harris but a lot of people thought Kamala was better since it’s a more unique name. Myself, I don’t think she needs that to have greater personal appeal and saying Harris would have helped make her seem more presidential. Having a foreign or Black sounding name is not really an advantage with the voters she needed to court, either. Of course, everything about this election incredibly stupid anyway so who cares at this point.

Huh? Honest Trumpy said he’d never heard of it
