Trump’s endorsement has divided conservatives

This is where your line is, eh conservatives? Gestures around All the rest of this shit is just fine though.

I’m a veteran. I grew up Gen-X during a time of high jingoism, with a lot of military folks in my family. It was a time and a setting where “American Exceptionalism” was uncritically accepted. If you had told me thirty years ago that one day I’d be rooting for a foreign nation standing up to the US, and saying things like, “Nothing off the table” regarding their defiance, I’d have laughed in your face at what a fucking credulous fool you must have felt me to be.

And yet, here we are.

The inaugural lunch, a tradition since 1897, typically includes speeches and toasts for the new administration.

Anyone have a sense of how rare it is for living ex presidents to dodge it? Feels pretty rare but I don’t know.

Former Secretary of State and first lady Hillary Clinton also received an invitation to the inaugural luncheon but will not attend, according to a third source familiar with the matter.

I kinda feel like she missed an opportunity there.

Personally I don’t care if a CEO voted a different way to me, or even if a whole board did. This should not have any bearing on Proton’s product or what makes it better than others.

I won’t have a friend who supports Trump, because to do so is to support a regressive, bigoted, jackbooted view of the world and how things should be done. I don’t speak to my Trump supporting family members except when family situations force us to.

WHY ON EARTH would I trust my privacy to a company whose entire board supports that view, much less their CEO?

Nooooooo not Proton! 😡

Keeping these images from the US public is what ACTUAL censorship looks like Musk and magas! Getting banned for being a bigot is not.

I might break my schadenfreude gland.

I just can’t care anymore.

It’s actually proven now, it doesn’t matter.

No matter how many stories are run about the awful things he does and the good things he doesn’t do, the people who voted for him will love him just the same.

No matter what he does, no matter how awful, nothing the media prints matters, and our institutions will do nothing to stop him.

We now just have to hope that he and his supporters don’t decide we are done with elections in four years. We exist at their whim.

Edit: And might I add - the “opposition party” just ran an election centered around courting voters from Trump’s party instead of their own, and shows no signs of learning from it. (again) We are well and truly fucked.

Thank you Merrick Garland!

Fuuuuck yes.

That’s fair!

Indeed! I literally looked at pics of Jack Smith to be sure it was him. I guess I never looked at a pic of Hunter Biden, I didn’t even realize they looked similar.

No FLOSS loving Linux user is dead to me, not even the GNOME project team, and frankly I suspect it’s noobies and non-users pushing these memes lately.

Not one word in there about turning to the right, campaigning with Cheneys, ignoring all progressive policies, and generally behaving like R-lite in a bid to court R-votes that never came, with no message other than “look how much worse Trump is”. I’m a little disappointed in Rolling Stone, but not at all surprised that the people they interviewed left those things out.

Ultimately, if this is their analysis, they’ll make the 2016 mistakes for a third time in 2028.

Marshall, a former OBGYN and leader of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Caucus, emphasizes nutrition and preventative care but ignores systemic issues like poverty and racism.

A conservative who ignores the impact of unaddressed and systemic poverty and racism in his policies? I’m shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you.

That’s fine, we’ve got other options. Let’s just see how big the disconnect needs to get before we start taking them.

Really Shameful describes their entire history.

OK now that I’m bringing out the Hunter Biden’s laptop folks, I’m deleting the comment and posts, not just acknowledging my error. Dear god what have I summoned.
