On the contrary, they don’t have any cognitive dissonance, that’s why they’re not bothered—dissonance suggests they feel discomfort in holding their opposing views

They’re just really good at doublethink

Don’t forget the abortion bans and the push from people like Elon Musk to have more children (with no financial incentive to do so, of course)

When I was little, I mixed up the words “president” and “Reagan”, thinking the latter was the title. I felt sorta vindicated with he hero worship the man got in the neocon and tea party years.

But now, even though it should be an epithet akin to “Benedict Arnold” or “Quisling”, I would not be surprised if “Trump” became a sort of title similar to “Caesar” and its variants.

If Hunter had been acquitted they’d just be saying his dad rigged the trial

Ehh, it’s fine as long as I don’t get <<thing>> into his eye. He’s not supposed to get <<thing>> in it, you know.

He wasn’t even fit for KP duty in the marines, so yeah, he’ll be the guy who replaces Ted Cruz

So does this mean we can charge people who collaborate with Putin with treason, or does it require us to be at war with the Russian Federation?

Not sure the peak of jncos’ popularity was contemporaneous with Kris Kross but I guess everything sorta gets compressed in nostalgia

A REAL man uses MOLLE, large tactical rucksacks with PALS loops in place to attach any extra bags

Urban camo or black only, please, with flag patches affixed to every possible velcro surface

He not the root, he’s just another leaf on the gympie gympie that the right has become over the last fifty years. The FBI itself is another part of it.

That’s what makes the AI memes that one of his lackeys posts every day on twitter all the more hilarious. Weird uncanny valley images of him standing triumphant on Mars like a new Roman emperor, in a city he built with his own hands, toiling with his own blood and sweat, with claims that this will all become reality in a mere couple of decades, within our lifetimes. His response to these wild delusions? A laconic, lackadaisical “Yeah”

Lmao. Hmbol, even.

The Boer won’t even get a ride from his own rockets, he’d never do anything like that

Wonder when/if investors will finally just sell their shares off. The day before the $56 billion vote takes place, for big laffs?

Said it in another thread but I’ll say it here too:

[1] Without external confirmation, I don’t buy it. [2] I’ll never understand why it isn’t a major talking point to tell these mark-ass tricks that the man is playing them for the trick-ass marks they are and fleecing them for all they have, but I guess if even Jesus is too weak they’ll just have to tithe to a different, properly sadistic megachurch.

I tried that twenty years ago, learned that it was a DOA strat that produces zero results and could very well be, in some cases, a grift.

I’d expect people on lemmy to know better; anywhere else though, yeah, fair

I’m not shrugging, but that’s partly because I fell and wrecked my shoulder last week

Also, and mostly, because I’m celebrating

The SRA exists; actual leftists know and understand that the second amendment is not limited to maga hogs
