The problem is, if they rush things, they’ll be appealed AND thrown out. They have to go slow and careful so that when the results are appealed, there’s enough evidence proof of doing everything above-board and by the book that the appeal will be tossed as meritless.

People are clear that advocating for change should come after Trump is defeated at the polls.

In this election the choice is “would you like your eggs sunny side up or thrown in the dumpster?” Plenty of time after the results are in to say “actually, I prefer mine scrambled.”

He sure looks tired.

The trade confusion between McDonald’s and MAGDonald should be obvious.

Only if he can be tied to it. Otherwise, the same section 230 protections cover him as anyone else who creates a digital platform others can use.

If they had done something to stop it, they would have been sued by the franchise owner who did nothing to violate the franchise agreement.

Which is interesting, because usually corporate has all the power in franchise agreements.

Libertarians are the “vegetarians” of politics— they like everyone to equate them with vegans, but in reality have no issues eating fish, chicken and other meats, and in reality have a pretty loose definition of what’s “not meat.”

The real political vegans are those who go off to form their own communities and reject the ENTIRE political structure, not just the parts that don’t directly benefit them.

Also, most of the susceptible people die in the first few waves. What you’re left with is a population that’s more resistant. Over time, the comorbidities tail off.

Looking at population level resistance is different than looking at individual resistance.

No, he would have rejected it in favor of a plan he made himself that enriched his friends and family and blamed the ensuing chaos on Obama.

Democracy is four cannibals deciding what’s for dinner.

If it had been, it would have been multiple health and employment violations.

I had to do the thorough federal check once and they only went back 10 years. My summers cutting lawns didn’t have to go on the form.

And that’s the number of crossing encounters; likely the same people attempted to cross many times, and 78% of the time they were caught.

Oftentimes, people aren’t crossing the border to find a new life in the US; they’re crossing to visit friends, do some shopping/smuggling, or find some itinerant work, after which they cross the other direction.

It would be a nice Lemmy feature if posts and comments under, say, -20 were auto-collapsed. That would allow people to still see unpopular content without everyone having to wade through it.

“Trump tax plans could exempt 93 millionaire Americans from income taxes”

Someone dropped the “aire” somewhere, that’s all.

That’s great; you should always have a full slate of scrutineers.

Are the Democrats also recruiting an army of scrutineers? Because we know about Republicans and projection.

So… is that enough votes by their constitution to move ahead with the constitutional rewrite?

I figured they might have done a dry run through with him at Mar a Lago before he flew out… but you’re right; he probably thought shaking the basket looked like fun and did it because he’d seen the employee do it.

Their fries are definitely different; probably designed to minimize steps.

It suggests that Trump may have practiced making fries sometime though; just not in a McDonald’s.

Over half will. Of those, some will overlook it focusing instead on the perceived intent (“he’s trying to be like one of us”). The rest will vote for someone else.
