I got so much concern trolling for saying Biden was bad and should step down. People accused me of wanting fascism. They insisted I was naive and we should be standing behind Biden.
I just want to say to those people: you were wrong. Dumping Biden has wildly hurt Trump’s chances, and you were the ones arguing against it.
They do have a point. She hasn’t even been a game show host!
I’m like 80% sure Trump doesn’t want to end democracy.
Hmm. Interesting idea. I’m sure the next sentence won’t be completely consistent with Trump wanting to end democracy.
He just wants more attention, power, and to protect himself when he goes out after 4 years.
Oh.

From the article:
The test involved 48 beagles and evaluated an analog of the neurotransmitter creatine. Due to toxicity of the test substance, 15 dogs had to be put down. Two more were found dead in the lab.
This is … good? Fuck Trump, don’t vote for him, but diplomacy is good. Progressives should be advocating for an end to our economic warfare against the people of NK, and attitudes like this are moving in that direction.

A billionaire who is 61 is very likely to outlive 75, even if they’re fat.
Oh no, there’s an article about me in the daily mail, this stunt really backfired, what a nightmare
– the model, presumably
In March, the former president won enough primary races to secure the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election.
However, according to a survey of 1,003 Americans by Canadian polling firm Leger, Trump does not command the full support of his base and 33 percent of this demographic would have preferred another politician.
Another way of writing that 33 percent prefer another politician is that 67 percent prefer Trump. Last I checked, 67 percent support is enough to secure the Republican nomination.
Meanwhile, this proportion is higher (47 percent) among Republican voters aged 18 to 34 years old.
Again, another way of writing this is that 53 percent of Republican voters aged 18 to 34 years old support Trump. I’ll double check my arithmetic, but even this seems to be enough to win primaries.
With a title like “One in three Republicans now think Donald Trump was wrong candidate choice,” I would expect to see a poll which showed that fewer than “One in three Republicans” used to “think Donald Trump was wrong candidate choice.” That seems like a straightforward way to make the point this article is trying to make. Yet none is provided. Instead we are treated to some general electorate polling showing some minor fluctuation and some republicans who were already critical of Trump continuing to be critical of Trump.
The centrist will to make the Republicans look better than they are is so powerful.
No, it’s obviously soy consumption
This has placed the prime minister in a political vise. If he commits to postwar Palestinian rule in Gaza and begins acting seriously to establish it, he loses the far right. But if he commits to resettling Gaza, he loses the Israeli majority and the international community. And so, as he has often done in the past, Netanyahu has chosen not to choose
Oh, he’s chosen.

In addition to what @JakenVeina@lemm.ee said, a lot of universities have endowments that are invested in stocks, bonds, etc., to provide a baseline level of passive income. Divestment would mean getting rid of any existing investments and barring future investments in Israeli companies and companies that do extensive business with Israel. The result is to lower the access to cash and value of said companies.
Divested from Israel. The answer is that they should have divested from Israel.
Oh word?
