Sue me, I like comparing and contrasting consecutive administrations. Almost like there’s historical insight to gain.

And while the inflation was a result of Trump’s policies, it still peaked halfway through Biden’s term. People blamed it on Biden. That’s just the electorate acting like they always have done. And it really didn’t the admin did a shit job of communicating - well, a lot, but - that they were trying to bring it down. Cost of living polled very high as a concern going into Nov 2024… as it is now.

I’m saying both administrations ignored economic pressure felt by the people they rule over, not that the situations are 100% the same.

Doing the same thing the Biden admin was doing for groceries, but for gas prices. How can the economy be bad, my investment portfolio is doing amazing! Ironically, the very same flub that gave him his second term in the first place.

so whats a passkey and how is it different from a password?

Its pretty slow and clunky for an email service. On a whim, I made an account with https://posteo.de/en. Performance and interface is much better.

This is a really funny podcast. The hosts are all bemoaning, “Oh no, Trump is an incompetent imperial actor! How will we do war with Iran the right way now?!”

Or,

“The problem is the voters, for putting him at the seat of the military industrial empire machine. The military industrial empire machine itself is neutral, and its existence should not be questioned.”

I’m paraphrasing hard, but 'cmon

I went into this assuming it had something to do with the US running out of rare earth minerals needed for magnetic systems.

Nope, just a weird bugbear the gameshow host won’t let go of.

If you wanted to fleece as many people as possible and they believe everything you say, no matter how fucking stupid, you’ll continue to say stupid shit and keep that gift going.

He doesn’t have to be cognizant of this strategy for it to work, though. A savvy grifter and a moron born to wealth with all the golden parachutes he could ever need are very difficult to distinguish between.
