President Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 memorial ceremony.

The president dozed off at multiple points during the event Friday, slumped over in his chair with his eyes closed and his head hanging down while everyone else onstage—Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Melania Trump, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice—was clearly awake.

    Sure, Jan.

    We’re just not gonna blame Kamala Harris for looking at a bunch of people who can’t afford groceries and insisting that we be joyful. Awesome, perfectly run campaign.

    We’re gonna blame the guy who voted for a politician that he actually agreed with instead.

    This definitely isn’t on me. It’s on you guys.

      looking at a bunch of people who can’t afford groceries and insisting that we be joyful.

      That’s your example why she would’ve been a bad choice?

      “you guys”, as if even the whole of Lemmy (most of which probably aren’t even living in the US) would have been enough to make a different DNC candidate happen. I haven’t even seen anyone who says that they actually like Harris.

        As if “liking” a candidate is a requirement for voting for them.

        I was neutral on Harris, supported her party, and loved her running mate. And most importantly, loathed and recognized the danger in the alternative.

          Of course, it’s just when you don’t see anyone liking Harris, it’s stupid to blame these people for the DNC picking an unpopular candidate. Unless a majority of US Lemmy users says they don’t vote in primaries or something.

            I liked Harris. When I was working retail and she’d just won a local office, she came in to buy some holiday gifts. She wasn’t in politician mode, just genuinely interested, unselfish and polite. You can tell a lot about a person from how they treat retail and restaurant workers. She went on to become highly qualified, another reason she was the better candidate. But it starts at the core, and Donald is rotten to his.

        Surely the point of voting is to actually vote for the political party you want ? Or is it not a democracy in US?

            You would’ve let a lot of people get fucked because you’re a selfish american who have no trouble being gigantic hypocrites punch down on others for their own benefit and are OK with their shithole extorting, terrorizing and murdering in other countries as long as they aren’t bothered.
            Trump is the best thing that could happen for the world.
            You totally deserve it. I hope you suffer as much as possible and your violent cancer country gets destroyed from the inside.

      Regardless of votes, remember who it’s really on. The ones who are playing us against each other. Yes, it’s also the fault of people who voted for him many times, and for those who split a vote where only two party voting would have given him a loss. AND for those who allowed the DNC to make so many bad choices. AND Harris for dropping what seemed to be a working campaign for a bit. AND… well, it goes on.

      But it’s the ones laughing at the top. They’re the real problem. Never forget. They love to see this finger pointing at the bottom, it makes them feel safe.
