Well, we gotta provide tax breaks for the rich somehow. (Is /s really necessary on this one?)

His current employer, High Point University in North Carolina...

High Point University (HPU) is a private university in High Point, North Carolina. It is affiliated with the United Methodist Church. - wikipedia

Yeah, it's the old "Get'm to fight among themselves while we steal them blind" trick.

Thank you for posting about OpenEVSE. I'm in the market for an EVSE and was not aware of this option. Did you buy a product or a DIY kit?

Fuck no, don't drag us into your stupid religious war. It's past time for the US to stop supporting that terrorist country and instead support bringing the war criminals to justice.

It's just another lying weirdo. How does the GOP find so many of them?

So this is the real reason why Trump cancelled his Springfield visit.

Has anyone been able to verify that he actually said this? The story stems from a Twitter post, and Miller apparently did do an interview on Newsmax on that date. But did he really say this? I'm suspicious because only that one source seems to be available.

NEVERMIND... Talking Points Memo noticed it also

So yeah, if Biden commits insurgency, then his should be off the ballot. But last time I checked he hasn't come anywhere close.

Someone else here on Lemmy suggested community service instead of jail time. It sure would be funny to see Trump in a high-vis vest picking up trash along some road. Maybe one day per gag order violation?

Instead let's have more light rail and electric buses please.

De Niro, who has been a frequent critic of Trump through the years, had been scheduled to receive the NAB award, its highest individual honor, “in recognition of charitable work and public service.”

“I don’t mean to scare you. No no, wait, maybe I do mean to scare you. If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss away these freedoms that we take for granted, and elections, forget about it … He will never leave,” De Niro said.

'Seems like De Niro is still doing public service with these comments though.

Many of us fret he won't.

So taking away those books is supposed to stop all kids from turning gay?
Why haven't all the thousands of straight character books turned gay kids straight?

Enough of this stupidity.

Wait... wasn't he just giving a "press conference" about how grocery prices have gone up? If not price controls, what will hinder price gouging?

FTFY...

Big Pharma claims lower prices will mean giving up miracle medications executive pay and bonuses.

"There is also the possibility that if Trump is kicked off the ballot, Republicans could take retaliatory action by doing the same to President Joe Biden. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has already floated such a move."

I wonder that excuse they'll dream up to try to pull this off.

Yeah, I was going to comment on this, but you were faster. This is the first time that I've noticed a major media outlet connecting Republicans with Russia. So it's an open secret now?

Yes, and oddly specific.

"Dystheism (from Ancient Greek: δυσ-, romanized: dus-, lit. 'bad' and θεός theos "god") is the belief that a god is not wholly good and can even be considered evil, or one and the same with Satan."

How about "copse" (a small group of trees)

Non-filers making between $400,000 and more than $1 million with unfiled federal returns from tax years 2017 to 2021 will receive the initial round of letters

Blows my mind that people earning that much aren't filing their taxes. It's hard to imagine that they're oblivious to the requirement, so they're just blatant cheaters?

"Merchan said Tuesday that he will rule on the contempt charges at a later time."

Now what? So it's just chaos for the rest of the session?

So basically: "Some of you might die, but that's a chance I'm willing to take."

Trump has “proven to be one of the best debaters in political history..."

What? What a weird statement.

And even if he was, would someone explain how paying hush money to keep an extra marital affair quiet falls under the classification of presidential acts and duties?

Then: Seat belts are needlessly expensive. Later: look at the new safety feature we added!

Now: These new rules are needlessly expensive. After new model release: look at what great mileage it gets!

I'm tired of this.

So they've solved every significant problem for their citizens and now are inventing fake ones?

And we can rest assured that they're doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. They'd never ask for anything in return, right? Right?

It’s a toss up: either chalkboards or dry erase boards. Both are remarkable.

And this kids, is why we have government regulations - to protect citizens.

What's the source for this? The few I checked didn't come up in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. "Altschmerz" looks German, but doesn't come up in my German dictionaries.
