And I was told political violence isn’t right.
I mean we all knew this i thought
36% of us wouldnt know it if it smacked us in the face.
No, they do, they just think it’s aspirational.
Until this hits Fox, it’s going to be ignored.
Nice country to be proud living in! Run by a child molester and gang of criminals……….no wonder the whole world wants NOTHING to do with you!
honestly, i think that might be the only way the US gets back on its feet. stop buying US products, make the corporations suffer so much they finally turn against orange mussolini.
Lemmy be like:
“gossip site, Radar, that validates my bias?! Hell yah.
Snopes, The Guardian or other reputable sources? nah fuck off, I can’t be bothered to read more than a headline”
I didn’t see anyone else putting it in the headline, but you can find the same text in the report itself.
The report isn’t accurate.
It straight up says no one knew about Epstein in 2016, but that’s factually wrong.
they just flaunt all this shit at us cuz theres nothing we actively can do. they just laugh at us, look at howard nutlick.

He and his wife were so shocked and horrified by Jeff that Howard kept doing stuff with him for another decade plus after the supposed interaction in 2005 that had them so verklempt:
Lutnick said he and his wife left and decided that he would never be in a room with Epstein again. He further said that he was never with Epstein socially, for business, or through philanthropy.
Oh, what’s this?
Records released in 2026 contradicted the ordinary meaning of that account. They documented attempts to communicate after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, an in person meeting in 2011, a social visit to Little Saint James in 2012, shared participation in an investment, philanthropic and fundraising intersections, and direct correspondence in 2018.
The conservatives made another oopsie-doodle! No big deal, the Murc’s Law Media should probably pivot to some bOtHsIdEs story, for balance, stat…
Be me. Try to do the right thing. Do what society tells me. Work hard. Get hit in the face by the rock of life and am stumbling hard.
Be them. Worst of the worst, crimes against absolutely everyone and everything. Reach the pinnacle of success.
I really think the Germans need to come up with a new word for the contrast I’ve stated.
We already have a good one in English: capitalism.
no, broke or poor
As a kid I got the idea of job hopping, switching companies every few years for more money. My dad said, ‘if you try to climb too fast you’ll break your neck’.
Turns out… No, the most successful people are absolutely the ones who are so completely full of shit and talk from both sides of their mouth and do what they condemn for everyone else with great gusto.
I’ve been in IT for many years. At least when markets are not like they are right now, moving to another job was absolutely the way to get market wages.
Being the “nice guy” and sticking around for “loyalty to the company” (lol) just fucks over the worker. It’s not unethical to vote with your feet.
I’ve been in situations where people try to manipulate good people into thinking that it is.
My problem is also that I am autistic and have a plethora of other issues. My greatest problem was always in finding decent work. Right now I have a job that is very good and pays well and I consider it my first ever ‘real’ job. I got it at 40. So that’s how long it took me to do it.
The guys who job hop right after college and are directors by their late 30s are not something I can imitate, sadly. Not out of lack of trying. It is just that fucking hard for me.
I never angled for management per se in these jumps; often it was doing only slightly different work (mostly just swapping the emphasis on different tools/languages/operations systems, etc.) but just getting gouged because market rates went up or how I came in with a lowballed salary because of coming in with no experience or after a layoff…
Sorry to hear about your struggles. Yeah, work is a place that is rarely accommodating of, well, anything, least of all people that are not cut from a certain mold.
No single words, and nothing that seems too interesting in German, but there’s a good Cantonese phrase that encompasses that sentiment:
殺人放火金腰帶，修橋補路無屍骸
shā rén fàng huǒ jīn yāo dài, xiū qiáo bǔ lù wú shī hái
Roughly, “murder and arson earn a gold belt; doing good deeds (lit. building bridges and repairing roads) leaves no corpse (i.e. you die in a way that no one can find your body to bury properly).
And yet society is built by the people who make and repair roads and bridges.
The gold belt I assume is a phrase for wealth and power.
This is old. I definitely heard this years ago. They either don’t care or more likely they’ll never hear this.
We know. Fucking do something about it.
Yeah. Go ahead. Do it. What are you waiting for?
I don’t live there
assaulted at least five women
Do you mean CHILDREN?
assaulted
Do they mean RAPED?
There is a legal difference between sexual assault and rape. Obviously they did both, but just so you know.
I’m not a lawyer and see all of it as rape.
Let’s split the difference in a way that we can all agree.
Five girls.
If we’re going to be non-specific, let’s use the least minimizing term.
Some of them were minors, some of them weren’t
This is a typical social media post with zero substantial proof. None of the main stream media sources are covering this.
Well … ?
I didn’t want to laugh but you made me.
We got him!
If I had a dime for every time I heard that over the years, I’d have about tree fiddy.
“The walls are closing in” video on YouTube… a mash up of all the pundits repeatedly insisting his goose was FINALLY cooked, would be hilarious were it not so unsettling and apropos.

Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened 35 times.
I know, that GIF is from 2017 .
The average American Trump supporter is a gun toting, neoliberal, bear shooting, death penalty supporting, misogynist, who believe that LGBT people should be stoned to death Old Testament style, a white supremacist, anti-vaccine, climate change denying, anti-evolution, anti- science, flat earth believing, pro-life, anti- intellectual, sanctimonious evangelical Christian, Islamophobic bigot. Chem trail obsessive, xenophobic and a racist. Also ignorant, stupid, perverted and possibly demented.
I would say the average American Trump voter is choose-4-to-10 of those things, but not all at once. (Source: I live in Appalachia.)
Though my I-thought-you-were-mostly-reasonable neighbor seems to be BECOMING a flat earther. He’s already got at least 4 from your list… It’s weird and concerning to watch the delusions accumulate in real time.

I did actually read your original comment… Not sure if you intended to post the same thing a second time. If so, why?
Your accurate yet unavoidably incomplete list made me reflect on how much the term “pro-life” is inaccurate while also being propaganda spin bullshit. It is literally the term for a policy of the death cult wing of american politics. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but god damn.
I am a nature lover and animal lover. I come from a conservative redneck-ish family and one very strong correlation throughout my life has been that the more conservative somebody is, the more likely they are to openly brag about how much they would NOT spend money to help their own pets. Or even about how they would shoot them (usually a dog) if they ever did X.
But that is part of a much larger package deal where those people define themselves by the things they hate and activities they avoid.
Why do you think Kristi Noem told that anecdote about murdering a dog and a goat?
To appeal to exactly the sort of “manly” shitheads you are talking about.
Even by her own telling, she’s a total asshole. She killed a goat in a blind rage as part of murdering her dog, and then, instead of being the least bit ashamed, she decided to write that down. As if that’s just normal.

Those pets should pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

I like to say “anti-choice”. Because more often than not, they don’t call people like me “pro-choice” they say “pro-abortion” which is weird…
I like to say forced-birthers.
Which means half of them are worse than that
and also apparently very proud of it

“Allegedly” is just a cover your ass liability word. It’s true.
Now now. We don’t know that. Just because he’s an adjudicated rapist, doesn’t mean he raped THIS time.
/s ofc
