Most people don’t give a shit about politics. They hear some rich fuckwad say “Mexicans are stealing your jobs” and “Haitians are eating chihuahuas” and “The schools are changing Timmys into Tinas,” and it’s oh my god they gotta vote for Trump. It’s not intellectual, it’s reptilian.

How do we get through to them, all the victims who <i>know</i> they’re victims, but never figure out who’s victimizing them? That’s the insolvable riddle-me-this-Batman.

If you can’t have your way, let the world burn… Gotcha.

That is literally the rationale for lots of people. I’ve heard it spoken verbatim, and heck, when I was young and stupid, I said it myself. It’ll hasten the collapse and move us more quickly toward a glorious new future!

Le bingo!

Exactly. So the issue of genocide in Gaza is effectively moot in the 2024 election. Both sides are pro-genocide, so decide your vote on other issues. Trump, of course, is better on exactly none of the issues.

Rich white folks will do OK, though.

Boeing effectively is the US military, so it’s in zero danger of going out of business, no matter how incompetently it’s run.

Also (sorry, but old guy here) the nozzle sometimes unexpectedly sprays sideways. It’s no worry if you’re sitting down, but if you’re standing up you might’ve just wet your pants… or the pants of the unlucky schmoe at the neighboring urinal.

Blocked, grazi.

I don’t know, but NASA’s going to CLAP BACK!

It’s a sadness, but I also have occasional issues with Firefox. It’s still the best browser by far, but its share is so small, more and more developers aren’t testing their pages in Firefox any more.

Doesn’t make no never mind to me. If a page doesn’t work in Firefox, I can do without.

Where I live, Washington, the minimum wage is $16.28 p/hour. Across the border in Idaho, the federal minimum applies — $7.25.

Businesses on the higher-wage side of the border are doing fine, and Spokaners do not drive across the border into Coeur d’Alene for cheaper groceries or a half-price Big Mac.

Prosecutors said Haspil had been hired as an assistant for Saleh, whose ventures included a ride-hailing motorcycle startup in Nigeria, but quickly began to siphon money from Saleh’s businesses.

That’s a painfully clumsy sentence. Has AP no editors?

The big mistake would be imagining that Ford or other giant corporations ever gave a damn about diversity, equality in the workplace, etc.

Won’t someone please think of the Nazis?

Weird.

What an unwiped asshole. I certainly hope his teaching accreditation is yanked as well.

Agreed 105%, plus it’s also just plain stupid. Nobody within half a mile of Trump’s inner circle has any real competence, so the idea that any/all of them could successfully pull off a faked assassination is probably more absurd than flat earthers telling us the moon landing was rigged.

I’m not from Minnesota and know nothing about Don Samuels or this primary, but anyone who’d run against Ilhan Omar is probably a garbage human.

A mmmillion dollars?
