Being a moron is not a requirement for being Republican, but it helps.
🤔 …
Nah who am I kidding? Og course it’s a requirement.

No I absolutely expected it to be sarcasm.
I read the part, and that’s quite funny and fitting.

I don’t get it? I searched defense on that page and got nothing.
Is it about being absurd?

Logically it favors the rich, just like every other aspect of society.
So I guess it’s no more insane than so many other aspects of society, like how Enron Musk can get paid more by Tesla than every single worker working there.

Sorry my bad, yes that’s actually a good point. 👍

Qalculate is an amazing calculator, highly recommend it.
It’s my default in Linux.

Trump is using the widows response to her husbands death to deliver a joke. Trying to make the whole thing funny. How is that joke not at their expense, when it’s built on their situation?
Trump is absolutely being disgusting, and half the people here can’t even see it?

How is it not at his expense, to make a joke that some women would rather have the money than their husband back?

The first quote is the EXACT same as the OP article, and it’s disgusting to crack a joke about women rather have the money than their husband back. As the finale to a story about the woman who just lost her husband.
From the article 3rd paragraph:

“So they’re going to get millions of dollars but the woman, the wife, this beautiful woman, I handed her the check," Trump told the appreciative audience. "We handed her the check – and she said, ‘This is so nice, and I appreciate it, but I’d much rather have my husband.’ Now, I know some of the women in this room wouldn’t say the same.”

So what part about making a joke about it is it they misrepresent?

No it’s not the same, Trump is obvious, that’s because of the 2 party system, and first past the post.
And people moronically believed Trump was a vote against the political establishment, and for the minimal state.

Thanks that’s a very nice summary.

especially the monarchists liked the idea of heaving a leader that can overrule the parliament
I especially noticed this as probably the key practical part in how it was possible.

It’s interesting because I’ve always considered multiple parties to be an important way to protect democracy.
But I guess that ultimately it depends on the people being willing to protect it.
Still having 10 parties represented, makes for a better chance that minority views are represented. And I still believe it helps against corruption and strengthen democracy relative to only 2 parties.

The organisation ( X ) argued Twitter stopped being a company when it merged with X Corp and any penalty process would need to be restarted.

Elon Musk is sick! There is no low he won’t stoop to, to avoid consequences of his actions.
Even if Musk didn’t handle this directly, I bet he set the guidelines for it.
Hopefully X will be banned soon in Australia and EU. Because it’s a toxic platform that only gets worse.

Mark Zuckerberg: (probably)
Objection you honor, when people are stupid enough to give us all their information, we should also be allowed to exploit it.
I’ve done this since it was just a school project, so I should be allowed to continue to do it by the precedence set.
This has been known since 2010:

When Zuckerberg was 19, right after inventing his new social network, he had an instant messenger conversation with a friend where he bragged about having “over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS.” When Zuckerberg’s friend asked why in the world people would give him their private information, Zuckerberg responded, “People just submitted it. I don’t know why. They ‘trust me.’ Dumb f–ks.”

The only thing that interest Zuckerberg, is the power the information from social networks gives him.

Do you know how many parties had members in the parliament of the Weimar Republic when Hitler was named Chancellor?

No I didn’t, that’s very interesting:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weimar_political_parties

What I don’t get is, how Hitler managed to take control with that many parties? He should not have been in a position with power to do that?

I have no idea what your point is here, Democrats have supported this for a long time, but have been blocked by republicans in Congress.
You complain about $7.25, now you complain doubling it isn’t enough. And you throw around speculations as if they are points for your position.

$15 may not be a lot, but it’s obviously A LOT better than $7.25.

That’s a bullshit argument, when Harris clearly supports raising the minimum wage.
I agree it’s long overdue, like decades overdue. But Harris has clearly stated she wants it increased.

Harris at Aug. 10 Nevada campaign event:

When I am president, we will continue our fight for working families of America, including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,

I’m not personally a fan of the tip thing, that’s a stupid idea IMO, but the minimum wage, absolutely needs to be way higher.

At her campaign 2020 Harris supported increasing minimum wage to $15,-.

Yes the guy in the photo looks like a priest, and FSB has taken control of the Russian Orthodox church.
That’s just one way Russia is influencing previous Soviet states. Hopefully Russia will fail, if not now, then when they lose the war against Ukraine.

Her plan to help families with a fixed amount to buy a house for example, is more help to people with less money than rich people.
From your previous comments it seems like even AOC wouldn’t be left wing enough for you? Because even AOC is fundamentally in favor of a regulated free market capitalism as the economic basis for society, much like social democrats in Scandinavia.

The way to end fracking for good, is to provide enough sustainable energy, Kamala Harris has explicitly stated that she will work towards that.
I agree more effort on environment would be beter, but this is probably the best we can realistically get right now.
And between the 2 options, there is zero doubt that Kamala Harris is working towards the right goals, and Trump is not.
