There are active protests at every government building in every state, today. There was one on Jan 21 and Feb 5 as well. There will be more later.

I just made the switch from Sync to Summit literally yesterday. Sync was fine for a while but it hadn’t been updated in ages (basically since the first major reddit migration wave) and it was starting to suffer as Lemmy incremented a few version numbers and Sync did not. Besides which I was paying a yearly subscription fee for an app that failed to load 2/3 of image posts.

If Sync gets an update I might still recommend it. It’s a good app, it just needs maintenance. In the meantime Summit does everything I wanted out of Sync, has an active developer with a Lemmy account, and doesn’t cost me money. I think it looks better too but that’s personal preference.

But Trump was able to graduate?

Allegedly, yes.

The second part I don’t know about. But I would be entirely unsurprised to find that the Trumps simply purchased his diploma.

I did not see this, this is excellent news. Thank you for sharing this.

“Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.”

William T. Kelly, Wharton

This came to light immediately after Trump tweeted about Kelly calling him “the smartest student I ever had”.

It’s a lot easier to fix a railroad than it is to remove a dragon.

Besides, the town provided the explosives after a charisma check, they had to know what they were going toward.

Does the track have random ramps on it as well to complete the F-Zero experience?

All major US news outlets are in the pockets of the oligarchs. The revolution will not be televised.

Don’t worry, they also think that you and I are gullible, credulous morons for believing in things like climate change or racial equality.

America is fundamentally broken

They are definitely super willing to break the seal, just nobody has built a good target ID system yet that won’t fire on civilians.

If you just need everyone in a 10 mile radius dead, you could send in the hunter bots, or you could just shell the area with heavy artillery from three countries away. We already have that problem solved. Once we have a reliable target ID system I guarantee you’ll start seeing unmanned equipment in war.

We also said overturning Roe V Wade had no chance of passing. We also said “the president is immune to all crimes” had no chance of passing. We also said many other things they’ve passed had no chance.

I’m not holding my breath.

Oh, sorry, I wasn’t aware that the Columbia and UCLA police are Joe Biden, or that local police forces take orders directly from the president.

Unironically, yes. We were forced to choose between:

A) a historic ally of ours is doing something bad… We will speak out against them. We will not yet cut off supplies because we need the world to see that an American alliance can be relied upon. But we will speak out against these actions.

B) KILL EM! PUT BULLETS IN THE BABIES! KILL EM ALL! BOMBS BOMBS BOMBS BOMBS BOMBS YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH BABY!!! FULL STEAM AHEAD! WE LOVE YOU MR NETANYAHU!

Clearly these two things are the same.

With a few more releases you might even class up to a beta!

In his first term the sky turned blood red and rained ashes while a deadly plague ripped through the streets of America, you’d think the people looking for Messages from God might have taken the hint

“How to put a collar on a cat” yeah that tracks honestly

Volkswagen already has the trademark on that actually

Sure, sometimes I miss doing drugs in college.

Mostly I miss the relative stability of society during those times, when the biggest news story of the cycle was that Obama wore a tan suit and liked Dijon mustard.

At the time we were reeling from Bush and the Iraq War situation but those feel like small potatoes now these days, even if they weren’t then.
