They did it with Brett Kavanaugh last time, and Republicans put Clarence Thomas on the bench also after trying to suppress his sexual harassment allegations, and made it a big show pretending they didn't understand.

Trump is surrounding himself with really the worst people this time around, because guess who doesn't try and pump the brakes when you're asking if you can use the US military to put down protestors, your sexual assault buddies. =(

I hate this timeline, because you just know that Trump is going to give a metal to this asshole before he leaves office, just like he did with Limbaugh.

I wonder what the amount of Trump gear vs Nazi flags was. It's also very ironic how when Nazi's march in the streets without a permit the cops just block off the street with their cars and perform crowd control to "help protect the city" (the Nazis). And when people of color march without a permit because cops killed another person over something stupid they get met with riot gear, tear gas, and rubber bullets.

It's going to get so much worse before it gets better ...

I know I shouldn't feed the trolls, but it's right in the blurb.

... I decided to create Fortunate, a modern graphical interface that delivers inspiring quotes throughout your day, while giving me an opportunity to explore GUI development with Fyne.

Agreed, I think it's supposed to be a model Y.

I still feel heart broken for this woman either way, but I would also love to know if she just voted for the Leopards Eating Faces party.

I also wish we could take all these "tough guys" that want to control women and give them some kind of meds that makes them both super horny and permanently impotent (even with Viagra) and watch them just lose their shit.

Well…I don’t know why you included Twitter on that list, as they’ve NEVER been part of the fediverse.

I included it because the article title included it, and I agreed it never would be. I then went farther and said I don't consider any of those beside Mastodon to be Fediverse because they all are corporations creating platforms for shareholders, NOT users.

It would be like saying “Dominos doesn’t make pizza. It has never been a pizza company”. With your logic being that you don’t like their pizza. Doesn’t make it true just because YOU don’t eat the pizza.

To use your analogy, It's actually more like they have the appearance of a pizza-like substance, but eating it you know it's not pizza and never will be because it's made of human waste.

Because nobody owns the fediverse. Which means if I sell an ad on my instance, all federated instances will see the ad. Sure, you could defederate from my instance. But what would happen right now if lemmy.world sold ads? Is every instance going to defederate from the biggest instance, with the majority of communities? That would essentially break the fediverse.

If it was pushing ads, absolutely! I believe the majority of us came to the fediverse to escape the ads/corporate enshitification, so the moment this stuff starts creeping in we can all just defederate them. Every admin knowing this would be the outcome I think also helps keep the fediverse "honest" as well.

It's clearly an attack on Conservatives and weaponization of facts! /s

Of note is that he had a sit-down with Dear Leader before that 180 on "...the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics. Lots of important reasons for that."

This has been brought up over and over before the election. Immigrants also pay Billions into social services they can't use every year, and deporting them will impact them as well.

There are Republicans already encouraging the Senate to meet the 10-day recess necessary to allow Trump to circumvent the Senate with the Recess Appointments Clause. Which is Republicans using a rule in bad faith that was supposed to protect the process from the Senate using an excessive recess to prevent/delay a President from getting their picks vetted.

He already said as much before the election and people still voted him in. He also stated he's cool with leveling Gaza, and called Netanyahu and told him no deal until after the election, that way he can give Israel carte blanche and claim the credit for "ending the war" (ignoring the complete genocide of the Palestinians).
