Where else? Fascist hats are tariff free, BTW.

Oh I actually know how to beat this one. “I do not recall.” “Fifth.” “What is that? This is the first I’m hearing of it.”

Am I doing it right, Shitler?

A reminder that a boycott is for the company as a whole. Even if a specific product isn’t made or labeled as made in El Salvador, if you buy from the company they won’t care because they still got your money. If they put money into that economy, they don’t deserve yours.

This also goes for any and all American companies that fed or are feeding the Nazis here.

I’ve had good luck with Bamboo Cool the last few months. Before that I was wearing Shinesty but switched when I dropped a ton a weight and didn’t get as much ball sweat.

I’m not actually confident he does know that, to be honest.

Only if it’s a REALID. And even as a DoD ID and valid passport holder, I don’t have a REALID yet because I haven’t ever brought enough proof that I am who I am to the DMV when I renew my license.

You’d think that two forms of ID that required me to provide my birth certificate (and one my SSID card) would be sufficient. I don’t live in the same state where I’m licensed (I keep an open primary state for voting until I have to switch when I retire next year), so it’s a 3-hour drive each way to my DMV, that I have to make on a workday, plus 2+ hours in line there. Add in the cost of fuel and that could be a very expensive day if I wasn’t as privileged as I am.

I’m a white guy with a salaried position and the flexibility to give up a day’s work to get my ID renewed, if I were someone who had to decide between voting and having the money to feed my kids this week, sadly I wouldn’t be voting. And that’s their goal.

The cynic in me knows that since it would be only D’s going down there, the fascists would use their absence to cram some shit through. The smart play would be to send only congresspeople and keep the senators here to make sure that nothing Mike LovesJohnson slides up can pass filibuster and get to the Diet Coke Desk.

And water

But was also the most UnFAir trade Deal EvURrrR

ETA: according to Shitler himself

Same. I wish I had better choices available but we’ve got to work with what we’ve got.

I like Lemmy better. There’s a lot more effort to have value when you post and have conversations rather than arguments.

But the porn collection over here isn’t great yet.

My daughter has a gymnastics class one night a week and there’s nowhere for parents inside the building so we’re expected to sit in our cars. Instead of using the gas to keep the heat on, I go to Target to take a dump and walk laps. Even my wife, one of the whitest women I know, has stopped shopping there.

Yes, but also to sue one must be able to prove injury. I don’t know much about this group, but it is possible they hadn’t been injured yet. Or that, knowing this was coming, they built their case months ago and have been waiting until this drops to do anything.

Not saying they’re at all worthy of trust, anyone on that side of the aisle isn’t, but the case would be tossed immediately if they sued before he took this action.

I’ve been wrong before, but once realized, I don’t hesitate to correct that behavior or belief out of some selfish fear of losing face.

That’s a level of introspection that most MAGAs are incapable of, and those who are tend to be narcissistic enough to not care. It’s truly a set of mental health issues, and it runs deeper than their outward hatred implies.

I read a while back about how there’s really strong correlation between people who are capable of certain levels of thoughts and where they fall on the political spectrum. The argument was that people with lower neuroplasticity tend to be more conservative, which can be explained by the fact that lower neuroplasticity makes learning and maturing, or overcoming any level of cognitive dissonance, is difficult to the point that it can cause them discomfort or even pain. This makes them more likely to be attracted to politics and policies which confirm their preconceptions rather than challenge them. It also makes them much less likely to accept any kind of fault in cases like this. It’s a lot to do with why cults are almost always religiously conservative - - someone else has the duty of thinking for me, and I can go on hatin’ the gays! Even the woo-woo cults always prop up some “enlightened” leader, and the followers get agitated or violent when that enlightenment is challenged by anyone.

The other end of the idealogical spectrum have people who are capable of that introspection and are able to identify when there are deficiencies in their emotional maturity or understanding of something. They’re physiologically more able to recognize these situations and effect a change within themselves, and it’s why we on the left tend to be less outwardly angry, more respectful, and more willing to grow.

tl;dr: empathy makes MAGA brains hurt, and they need therapy.

I guess the /s wasn’t as blatant as I thought it was

But really, from Canada’s perspective, it is free market choice. The products have a price that they’re not willing to pay, be it fiscal or idealogical, so they’ve opted to not buy them. It sucks for the sellers in the States who have relied on Canadian sales, it sucks for the Canadians who don’t have the same access to products they want from the US, and it sucks for all of us little people who have to pay an additional 200% tax on medical equipment because it has pieces which can only be made on highly specialized machines in Japan. All because of an amphetamine-addled, semi literate, profoundly incontinent Neo Nazi.

The only winners in this game are the ones that are high enough above the waterline that they’ll weather the flood, the rest of us are headed down the drain.

Super valid points. Cortisol is one heluva drug.

I know this is petty, but I don’t care. Why is it that these people always have the most generic, first-gen AI created names and the most fucked up faces? I know fascism doesn’t inherently attract the best, brightest, and most interesting but come on. It’s like they just hit random on the Oblivion character creator and said “Brooke Rollins with the fivehead? Looks good to me!”

Free market baby!

If only we had a way to predict this exact scenario.

Except when they play uncle touchy like Matt Gaetz and the Shitstain-in-Chief
