He almost turns me into a believer because it seems the only place these fuckers might face any consequences would be hell itself.

Please fire him. Preferably into the sun, but I’ll accept simply out of any position in government.

I searched for the actual question text and found:

Q19a. The immigrants entering the country illegally today are poisoning the blood of our country.

The split was 14% completely agreed and 20% mostly agreed.

I’m not as surprised by the results as the headline would have suggested because of the use of the word illegally. It biases the question negatively.

The 20% who mostly agreed may have agreed with some negative connotation surrounding illegal immigration while ignoring the racism of “poisoning the blood.” In other words, if I put myself in the shoes of someone who feels strongly about securing the border, I could understand how those respondents would lean towards agree simply because of the use of the word “illegal.”

To further support this interpretation: In the same survey, more than 40% of respondents favor or strongly favor building a wall along the US-Mexico border.

Maybe I’m just optimistic that only around an eighth of the country is completely crazy and that is just a less clickbaity title.

Time for an official act?

Probably the best idea I guess as long as you can set the TV up without Internet.

The TV I currently have is Android OS but the built in Chromecast is noticeably lower quality. Not sure if it’s an older version or what.

Regardless, IMO the displays themselves outlast their software support, and I prefer to just plug in whatever the latest device.

I’ll also mention Android OS on my TV takes a full minute to “boot” and that itself makes me want to yeet it out the window.

My TV is probably going to kick the bucket in a year or two at most. Filtering “non smart TVs” on a site like BestBuy shows only commercial display options at this point.

Are there any well maintained projects out there that are able to replace the firmware on newer smart TVs to get rid of these features? I really just want a dumb display with an input for a Chromecast with CEC support (or similar device if Google decides to enshittify that platform with screensaver ads too).

This is giving me 1998 MS Publisher vibes and I’m here for it.

Will Gaza even be habitable in 50 yrs after Trump is elected when enough people vote third party?

My assumption is this is a negotiating tactic with the Harris campaign as no serious person believes a third party candidate will win, and if they actually believe Trump would be better for their cause they might as well endorse him.

Unfortunately Harris is in a tough spot. If she doesn’t remain vaguely aligned with the current admins policy on Gaza, she’s going to undermine whatever efforts are currently underway towards a cease-fire.

It’s a gif with audio.

Edit: I was completely wrong about this. It’s an MP4. My bad!

You know what would be great, would be to hold these weirdos liable for the time and expense that public agencies have incurred to deal with the bomb threats and idiots they’ve directly incited.

Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.

Sure, but what does that have to do with this picture? The bridge looks deteriorated on that leading edge because 75 trucks have crashed into it at speed.

Or counting has gotten better

What kind of lame equivocation is “second best?” If he’s “second best” in a debate with two people, then that means HE LOST.

Are these GOP lawmakers and analysts so spineless and beholden to Trump that they cannot discuss this as just one more - in a long list - of his failures?

The combined wealth of the ~750 US billionaires at the end of 2023 was about $5.2T. Total individual federal income tax revenue in 2023 was $2.2T.

So it seems non-billionaires could go federal tax free for 2 full years.

Don’t see ads at the pumps if you stop using gasoline.

While expanding legal immigration, asylum protections and earned paths to citizenship and without mass deportation.

Yeah they’re totally the same. /s

Why? So that Trump ends up in office and does worse?
