These cops are fucking scum and anybody who wears the LAPD badge should feel ashamed to be associated with them.

America's oldest and largest state-sanctioned gang.

The NRA never actually gave a shit about any of that. It was always a front for gun lobbyists to stoke fear so people would stockpile more weaponry that they definitely didn't need while also promoting the American political faction that would be less likely to pass gun control legislation that would harm their bottom line.

Republicans were just useful idiots. They do not care if Trump is an oppressive tyrant as long as he doesn't even think about the word gun control. If tomorrow the positions on gun control reversed, you'd see a flip-flop so Orwellian it would make you question your concept of objective reality.

I'm tired of going high when they go low.

If the new standard is for Republicans to cast doubt on the legitimacy of every election, except for the ones they win, then we should, at the very least, be scrutinizing every single aspect of the election. Refuse to concede, demand recounts, hand tally the electronic ballots, search up and down and under every rock for evidence that the other side is guilty of some foul play.

Because if they had done that in the first place, they might have uncovered shit like this before it was too late to stop the wrong candidate from getting inaugurated. If they had bothered to put up a fight instead of maintaining decorum that the Republicans never bother to show, maybe they would have discovered what many of us already suspected - that Elon Musk somehow tampered with the voting machines to swing the election in Donald Trump's favor in key swing states. They practically admitted as much on stage, and nobody batted an eye at it.

I don't expect to ever live to see another fair election for the rest of my life.

Please be dying, please be dying, please be dying.

Please let Joe Biden outlive this sack of shit.

Did she ever accomplish anything other than going to places getting arrested and changing absolutely nothing?

It's got you here talking about it with your terrible opinions, hasn't it?

Take a look at this image and tell me if you think these guys accomplished anything other than going to a lunch counter and getting arrested and changing "absolutely nothing"?

Not all the protestors are involved in criminal activity. The news is constantly reporting that 95% of the crowd is peacefully exercising their right to protest, but a small minority of people use the situation to their advantage and cause chaos. The media then reports on these (accurate) instances of violence and then right wing talking heads run away with that and paint the picture that everyone is looting and rioting and attacking cops.

It's also a known tactic to have provocateurs incite a riot so that the people in power can use it as an excuse to crack down on an otherwise legitimate protest.

You can withhold paying your federal taxes from your paycheck. Most people don't because they don't want to get stuck with a big tax bill in April with no way to pay it if they spent that money or lost it on a bad investment. if enough people all did that at once, regardless of state, it could put a big financial burden on Trump. The government heavily relies on this steady source of income, and unless you make a lot of money, you are probably getting a federal return every year, which means you gave the U.S. Government an interest free loan of sorts.

Can ChatGPT actually play chess now? Last I checked, it couldn't remember more than 5 moves of history so it wouldn't be able to see the true board state and would make illegal moves, take it's own pieces, materialize pieces out of thin air, etc.

Trump verifiably tried to steal the 2020 election on live television. Even though he failed, his attempt came close enough to succeeding to give pause for thought. There are fewer guardrails now than there were before to prevent something like that from happening again.

So, to that point, I say why wouldn't trump cheat again? He was never punished for his last attempt. In fact, he was rewarded for it!

We're never having another election that won't have doubt cast on it from either side. We burned that bridge on January 6th.

I see you've never met a narcissist before. They are bad enough when you have to interact with them in your daily life, and I feel sorry for people who had to grow up with one as a parent. Letting multiple narcissists be in charge of the government has proven to be one of the worst decisions Americans have ever collectively made.

I'm waiting for the beginning of July for the end of the tariff pause. Dow Jones will probably shed a few thousand points before Trump reacts by pausing them again or repealing them since he always chickens out. \

If Trump is going to wreck the fucking economy with his idiocy I might as well take a shot at profiting from it like all of the grifters in his administration.

Hello everyone,

There has been a lot of new traffic to Lemmy in the past few weeks due to the turmoil at Reddit. A lot of you may be Reddit refugees, like I am, and are missing their old favorite subs right about now.

I think it's more important than ever for regular users to step up and take an active role in rebuilding their communities, and I wasn't sure that things would ever get going unless somebody stepped up to the plate and made the effort, and I didn't want to wait around for someone else to take the initiative when I already had a strong desire to see this sort of content brought over to Lemmy.

Now that the first step has been taken, I'm inviting others who might be interested in building or managing this community to join me in making this the best version of asksciencefiction possible.

I have never been affiliated with /r/asksciencefiction or even been a moderator at reddit before. Preferably, I would like to hand off ownership of this community to somebody who has a strong desire to build and grow the community and enforce the rules. If that sounds like something you are interested in, please don't hesitate to send me a private message.

Thank you!
