Crackhappy , in Trump’s attacks on Haley pose risks with female voters
@Crackhappy@lemmy.world avatar

Because the rampant misogynist somehow hadn't already lost all those female voters?

Orbituary , (edited ) in Haley: RNC ‘clearly not’ an honest broker for pressuring her to drop out
@Orbituary@lemmy.world avatar

Laughable she thought they would be honorable. Was the DNC honorable when Wasserman-Schultz and crew tipped the scales for HRC? Lo and behold, our honorable courts upheld "democracy."

Weslee , in Biden says he'll shut down the border if deal gives him authority

Population growth rate is on a downward trend, though sometimes I wish it would freefall already, would really enjoy watching fox when republicans realise they need immigration just to keep society running

When the majority of the people are old and retired, but there isn't enough young people to support them.

It would be hilarious if by that time USA has alienated everyone from wanting to go there anyway

ohlaph , in Trump Chooses Absolutely Baffling New Topic For Latest Rambling Aside

So damn hilarious. Fort this, fort that... What a moron.

homesweethomeMrL , in Thousands sign Christian petition urging bishops not to back Donald Trump

“Not support” and “denounce” are so far apart that they’ve lost before they’ve begun.

DarkMessiah , in Trump Signals Plans to Go After Intelligence Community in Document Case

Donny boy… that is not a fight you wanna pick. Do you have anything you don’t want other people knowing? Because this is how everybody finds out about it.

captainlezbian ,

Also these are the coup experts. You want to come to power then go hard after the coup experts. Wise decision.

carl_dungeon , in Haley says US has ‘never been a racist country’

This bitch

givesomefucks , in Vivek Ramaswamy suspends campaign and endorses Trump

Primaries are largely performative grifts these days...

Lots of candidate run big campaigns grifting donations and being more extreme than the parties pick.

Then almost immediately drop out and endorse the party favorite.

Bernie wanted to stay until it was over, and got shit on by the media and the DNC.

Because neither party is honestly interested in letting voters pick the general candidate. And rich donors definitely aren't. They want the party to pick, be cause the parties always pick what donors want.

Philharmonic3 , in Donald Trump, Who Attempted A Coup To Hold Onto Power, Comfortably Wins Iowa Caucuses

FUCK

NABDad , in Donald Trump mocked for video of him walking down stairs

As much as I'd like to see that shithead raked over the coals for anything, I watched the video and didn't notice anything unusual.

7u5k3n ,

This article isn't for.left folks... It's for those Rs who want a "strong" president. So media will do what ever they can to attack him to make him look weak.

They do the same.thing with Biden and his forgetfulness.

It's all bull shitty propaganda :/

Rookwood , (edited ) in 15 states mostly led by Republicans refuse federal funds to feed hungry children during the summer months

I did some research on EBT programs in some of these states in college. They are all overrun with fraud. The states run these programs in the most half-ass way possible. Most of the funds get sold on the street for pennies on the dollar. Not to mention, that most of the people receiving the benefits in these states live in food deserts with no public transport where they don't even have a quality place to use the funds. The program is generally a fucking disaster and the leaders in these states have no interest in making it better. More desperate workers to exploit for their wealthy donors.

wellee ,

Uh no. EBT saved my life in college. It's a great program, there if you need it and income regulated. Some nuts may misuse it, but someone somewhere is getting that food.

thantik ,

That's kind of the credo of both parties:

Republicans: Nobody can have it because 1 person might use it fraudulently.
Democrats: Everybody can have it, we don't care how many people use it fraudulently so long as 1 person is being saved by it.

Hangglide ,

The democrats have the moral high ground on that one.

Clent ,

This principle is what America was founded upon.

Better to allow 1 guilty person go free than imprison 1 innocent person.

Anyone who disagrees, assumes they'll never been the 1 innocent person.

This basic principle is the basis for the political divide in America.

ChonkyOwlbear ,

Untrue. 92% of such funds are spent on food. The program functions very efficiently and effectively.

BlackPenguins , in 15 states mostly led by Republicans refuse federal funds to feed hungry children during the summer months

"We've streamlined the process. To say no just take the sandwich from the child's mouth. Yeah he's a hungry one. Try stepping on his face."

Jesusaurus , in 56 percent in new poll willing to see Trump disqualified from ballots in all or some states

The title is disingenuous. 30% of those polled would want him banned from all ballots. 26% would want it to be left up to the states to decide (ie red states still vote for him and blue states can't)

homesweethomeMrL , in Donald Trump Is a National-Security Risk

He doesn’t read them, he just forwards them on to Mister Bone Saw for payment as per.
