.4. He didn't pay them.

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 21 points 6 hours ago

In his defense, he probably has some members of his family returning to positions in the white house.

What's also crazy is that there are people lining up saying "Surely that won't also happen to me."

"How much money can I steal from taxpayers before I get knifed in the back?"

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 101 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It's crazy that most of the country looked at that and said either "I want that" or "That's fine, I don't care".

[–] jettrscga@lemmy.world 47 points 8 hours ago (5 children)

They didn't look at that. This is the frustrating truth we have to come to terms with. People are fucking oblivious. They vote for a single issue at most, and don't understand what they signed up for.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 30 minutes ago

It's brexit mentality. People voted for change from the status quo.

Most don't imagine that change ~~will~~ could make their lives worse.

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 31 points 7 hours ago

It's almost like someone has been systematically dismantling your education system for 50 or so years so they could reach this point.

[–] Good_morning@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 7 hours ago

Right, the single issue voters that picked a color (likely due to family) and kept to it the rest of their lives

[–] Zink@programming.dev 5 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, oblivious sums it up. Despite all the stuff that’s happened, and all the information and video evidence that’s readily available to anybody who cares enough to look at it, their team is their team. If you fancy yourself a smart responsible Christian, especially a white one, your ignorant ass is just a Republican.

This may sound controversial and no I don't have a way to implement it, but we should probably have a means to screen the knowledge of voters over the things they're voting on before they can access a ballot box.

Consider that the MAGAs would be in charge of administering and scoring such a test and you'll immediately see why that's a bad idea.

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 44 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Stephen fucking Miller is tapped to return. The administration is shaping up to be more detestable than I could imagine. I’m waiting to see where the bottom goes from Betsy DeVoes as secretary of edu

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 26 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I’m thinking the shaman guy for secretary of education

[–] inv3r510n@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t pick him

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 7 hours ago

You mean the secretary of dismantling education.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 hours ago

That's the crazy part? We are so far down the crazy rabitt hole this just seems like another diaper floating in the cess pool.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 hours ago

Imagine having 3 not lead to 1.

[–] FourPacketsOfPeanuts@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

I get the first two. Who did he try to have killed?

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 43 points 8 hours ago (1 children)
[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 16 points 7 hours ago

Hey, congratulations on forgetting him, anyway. Can’t wait for the day I do.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 16 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

You know how there is that meme of "Epstein didn't kill himself?"

I'm 99% sure Trump had a hand in it due to him being held in a federal prison and having plenty of dirt on him.

And the other was Pence on Jan. 6th when refusing to get into the secret service car until the results were certified.

Ah Pence, yes

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 hours ago

No so much directly as encouraged his supporters to.

Rhymes with "bang my fence"

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 0 points 7 hours ago

Must be something to AIDS with remembering him
