I’ve heard Norm Finkelstein say it as something his mother used to say. It’s a reference to how her Apple Strudel recipe was featured in a magazine before the war.

Not implying he was President during the Biden years. I guess I meant as a prominent politician.

LMAO

It’s doable if you’re not constantly changing the plans. The issue appears to be that he keeps changing things about it. Every plan or rendering they’ve released is different and it keeps getting bigger with each iteration.

I wonder what a demolition crew does if you don’t pay them. Other tradies will typically just rip out their work, but it’s not like a demo crew can easily rebuild something they tore down.

I’m actually amazed how he keeps finding new suckers after decades of doing it in the private sector and almost 10 years of doing it as President. The only ones that really came out ahead are the criminals that bought their pardons. Everyone else gets screwed one way or another.

Between this and how they treated Afghans that collaborated with them, this is going to be a long term issue for future recruitment efforts.

Still not sure if it’s deliberate, but Trump is taking the exact steps one would take to dismantle the American Empire.

You have to keep in mind that ever since Elon took over Twitter, nobody’s left that actually understands how it works, so whenever they implement a change they do it in the most hamfisted way possible, usually in the presentation layer.

Disabling translation was just the easiest way to do this, as banning Israeli accounts for their actual hate speech was going to get the ADL on Elons ass.

It took 3 grand juries to even be able to bring the case, it was always going to end in acquittal. Sure, it’s technically assault, but nobody was going to convict for that.

Or use canned food.

I was kind of hoping the defence would produce a receipt that confirmed it was a BLT without onions, hence proving the agent committed perjury.

I feel like that stuff might be horrifying to most, it’s exactly what his base wanted. I guess it might peel off the ones that just believed his economic ‘message’.

I mean, when he was on the ballot last time he did win. He has a way of drawing out his voters that luckily doesn’t easily transfer to other Republicans.

Basically every ‘terror plot’ they’ve uncovered since 9/11 involved the FBI working out the plan and providing everything to the suspect, but somehow without it crossing the legal line into entrapment.

Yeah, I haven’t either. I don’t even know how I installed it (package manager or raw). Will need to look into that.

Yeah, I’m not believing that version of events for a second.

Over 18, but still young enough to not be predestined to become like the other billionaires I guess.

Yeah, I still have champagne in the fridge from his last health scare.

The mainstream media has always had a problem with just calling a lie a lie.

I used to run it for a while (it might actually still be running, I’d need to check my VPS and delete it if it is), but I feel like RSS readers kind of got overtaken by Reddit (and Lemmy). I tried going back to it again a few times, but the lack of comments felt off after having experienced Reddit.
