Honestly, when the Boomers start dying off. They are burning all of the other generations out of spite and the pendulum will swing hard once they are gone.

We got our ballots in the mail today, I can confirm Donald J. Trump is very much printed on there as the Republican candidate for U.S. President.

Math**2

Glad to see you’re with us, Eminem.

If Trump wins a second term, you’ll be saying the exact opposite.

Relax, show a willingness to learn and you’ll be ok.

I got my start working for university IT and made it all the way to a CS Ph.D. and into industry.

Edit: and get good sleep! It’s nearly midnight on the West coast, get as much good quality sleep as you can.

Yeah… this feels right. He seems to have checked out because the real campaign starts once he has lost. They’d rather use their dollars shielding him from further judicial consequence and preparing to set the country on fire once he loses.

As an actual Oregonian, unlike the Russian disinformation that has posted so far, this is a good decision. I’m Democratic, but the mere fact that one party may benefit from or be hurt by “stolen votes” is irrelevant. The point is people should be able to vote for those who represent their views.

There are a lot of libertarians in Oregon. Plus, the state legislature GOP is a super dick about everything they don’t like. We literally amended our state constitution to punish legislative absenteeism because the GOP members were denying quorum as a strategy.

Let them replace Trump with somebody even worse. They will get beat at the ballot box too.

I’ll bring hammocks

I never said the US was better, but it does give money for kids.

Uhh, you realize the US gives $2000 per child every year in a tax credit right?

Already bought my first house and have a 4 month old. I’m also cool with this even if we miss the 1-year cutoff.

There is a piece of this that is beyond their control when dealing with the secret service. Since the assassination attempt, the secret service has denied the kinds of open field and outdoor events that Trump thrives on.

I don’t think that explains all of it, but there are factors other than scheduling and staff work.

I replied on the other thread. https://lemmy.world/comment/11678263

There was a children’s summer program where they painted crosses on rocks and other symbols of faith, like the Jesus fish. They were having the kids hold them in their pockets and hold them while they prayed, like a daily reminder kind of thing but also an arts and crafts idea.

Well, one elder got super pissy about the idea their grandkids were “praying to idols” and got a bunch of parents all hot and bothered. After a bit of handwringing, the church asked the teacher to either step down or leave the church. That triggered the other half of parents who either 1) didn’t see the whole ordeal as such a big problem or 2) liked the teacher and their family. Chaos spiraled from there… all over painted rocks.

Edit: this happened in rural Texas, there wasn’t much going on down there so I’m convinced people did this kind of thing for the mere sport of it.

Happened to my grand parents’ church in the 90s. They had this big disagreement over rocks (not joking) and then the infighting tore the church apart. Half of the group left and built their own building across the street and the other half stayed. Neither church ever really recovered from that.

I think that’s a risk, but Trump’s pathological ego will not allow anybody to call him weird, or strange, or abnormal.

My only concern is it is the start of August, and this weird argument is very powerful. I wish we were doing this in late September. My worry is weird will park and become old and stale by November.

That’s because it is intentional subterfuge to try and diffuse the PR disaster.

I would like to think those families believe in habeas corpus
