Proclaiming an idiotically edgy identity on a porn site is the kind of pathologically oblivious attention seeking that has been the hallmark of the far right since trump made everyone watch him descend a golden escalator.

Pretending that climate friendly beef is possible and then branding it 'Brazen' is some top quality trolling.

This is the same company who tried to maximize employee deaths during covid and is bringing back child labour.

Yep. But he's a republican politician - he still to be publicly racist even if it means insulting his partner's heritage. That's the job.

The higher price point caused by passing on the tariffs to consumers hurts the manufacturer through reduced sales.

Tariffs do hurt companies by driving potential sales elsewhere.

Or they would, if the product wasn't still the cheapest available by 10-30% after the tariffs.

that the uninformed would mistake for an AK

I'm guessing the report about the type of rifle came from secret service who saw it.

According to that NYP article someone was a few holes ahead of trump with an ak47, secret service shot at them and they fled, dropping the gun. The suspect was then arrested in a traffic stop a 50 minute drive away from the golf course. I'll believe it when I hear it from a credible source.

This article is bullshit from a disinfo website:

Alaska has been part of a push by Outside dark money coming from groups like UniteUs.org and FairVote.org to get ranked-choice voting in place in every state.

Republican voters, many of whom are not inclined to rank candidates. Ranked-choice voting favors the more malleable Democrat voters

This makes absolutely no sense. Not inclined to rank candidates? What the fuck does that mean? Humans rank things. We have preferences. Malleable voters is also absolute nonsense.

Ranked choice favors the candidate that the majority of voters support. Republicans oppose it because they want to win seats where the majority of voters don't want their candidates or policies.

If it were only a handful of people this wouldn't be happening. It usually takes an appreciative audience for people to feel emboldened to leap from rhetoric to calling in a threat or actually committing racist violence.

Given trump's persistent support, it could be that 40% of the country see this and think, like Lucille Bluth, good on her. Or that's what I worry about anyway.

Having thoughts of suicide is not the same thing as committing to an act of protest that may take your life.

These many reasons include his words, actions, policies, advisors, finances and friends.

Sometimes, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, looks like a duck, hangs around with ducks, waddles like a duck, lives in a pond, gets fed bread, and has been classified as a duck by experts the world over - it might just be a duck.
