      shave fucking pets

      One of the great things about ‘fuck’ is that it’s so incredibly versatile; but one of the major drawbacks of it is that it’s so incredibly versatile.

    Guessing the oil and gas industry took him up on the “fund me and I’ll do whatever” offer

      Maybe, but Trump has already had a weird vendetta against wind turbines for a long time. They had the audacity of being near enough to one of his golf courses that he imagined they might be visible (they’re not) and reduce its value. Ever since waking from that night-terror he’s been on the warpath.

          No no, they’re equally bad. According to the just-created account in its 1st ever comment.

              That’s weird. I wonder if it’s because they’re a kbin account. My client still insists they have only 2 comments in their history.

                I’ve created accounts on lemmy, reddthat, and here last summer (I have problems accessing Bee Haw, though), though I haven’t been active much until perhaps now as my reddit account of the same name has been suspended the 4th time, and they also got a few of my alts (I wasn’t ban evading, gaming points or the like). I’ve probably made most of my comments on kbin.

        Oh, fuck right off. They’re not even close to the same. Biden isn’t perfect but his “bad” is a drop in the bucket compared to ole what’s-his-name.

    I’ve been saying for a long time now. We need a president who can stand up against Captain Planet!

    Is he planning to do anything on day one that is actually good for the planet? For democracy?

    For anyone other than himself, the 1%, or the gun-toting religious white right?

      Why wouldn’t they trust him? It’s a bit like that Maya Angelou quote: when people show you who they are believe them first time.

      Thing is his supporters believe him because it’s what they want. They trust him. Staunch critics believe him because it’s what they fear, they trust he’ll do terrible things. Those that don’t yet believe him are naive or deluded thinking it’s just as bad to vote for Biden. I don’t understand these people.

        You talk about “opponents trusting he’ll do horrible things.”

        That kind of “trust” can be excluded from the answer, because it’s not the kind the question was referring to.

        They shouldn’t trust him because he is a liar and a manipulator, and a charming, effective one, like all sociopaths.

        He literally goes out there and talks to the crowd thinking they are idiots, because he can just make them think whatever he wants.

        And they are. That’s why I’m wondering why they don’t learn. There must be something inside them that makes them want to be betrayed. Kind of like a relationship where you know you will get hurt but you do it anyway because you think that’s what you deserve. Maybe? I really don’t understand it.

          America is a very individualist country to my eyes. People see taxes as paying for someone else’s healthcare or homeless shelter rather than paying for the things that everyone needs. There are only 2 sides in the election. Most people can’t ever see themselves switching sides, it’s a big change in thinking for a lot of topics. Hell the vote is usually decided by the turnout rather than people being convinced to switch sides. Trumps followers want him to hurt who they perceive as “their enemy”, i.e. Democrats (and non whites ssshhhh). And in fairness he does and they are happy that he does. They don’t envisage themselves ever in the group that he is attacking so whatever he’s gonna do to them is fine. They do sometimes end up in that group though:

    I’m starting to think he’ll insist that his entire presidency is ‘day one’ so he can do all the stuff he wants and never get removed from office.

    It’s actually really smart that he’ll do all these things “on day one”. Leaves the rest of the term free for golfing.
