Air America? It was a lefty talk radio network about 20 years ago that was an attempt to build a parallel media infrastructure that could compete with the monsters on AM radio. Obviously the money ran out so it didn’t last.
I think it will take longer than that, there’s still a lot of rich people who don’t think Trump will really do the tariffs or the mass deportation. Once it becomes clear that is really happening the economy will likely start getting all kinds of messed up fast.
Also, as others have told you, inflation is actually low again currently and that is why rates are coming down now. This is the “soft landing” that everyone was talking about, just in time for Trump to take the helm.
“When you’re a star, they let you do it”
You dont think Obama in 2008 was a real primary? His campaign fought hard for that nomination, it definitely wasn’t handed to them.
There is a part of the bible about lusting after donkey dicks and horse jizz.
It looks like he has both shrunk and expanded his voters. From what I’m seeing he did significantly better than he has in the past with various groups and in various places, but you are right it looks like overall his numbers declined by several million. Both sides underperformed compared to 2020 and Trump won because he underperformed less.
Trump is so far outperforming compared to 2020, its looking like he did increase his support. Definitely among younger people his numbers are significantly better than 2020.
That has not been my experience of France. Maybe its just me but almost everyone I met in Paris was friendly and many spoke English at least a little. I had some wild nights getting trashed and riding the Metro all over, no one gave me any shit for speaking English anywhere I went. I wouldn’t try to live there without at least a basic understanding of the language but as an English speaking visitor it was perfectly fine and I found the random Parisians I met to generally be cool people and not at all like their reputation.
I still can’t believe Trump cultists wore diapers to his rallies and carried “Real men wear diapers!” signs after it came out that Trump is incontinent. Trump 2024 is truly the weirdest and most unhinged political campaign in US history. You can buy the fucking merch because these people are deranged and this is how they spend their money: https://www.ebay.com/itm/305576950729
From what I’ve read he was trying to convince the journalist Michael Wolff to write his biography so they spent time together doing these interviews.
Intel could have conceivably competed with them there too. If they were still a competent business and not in a crisis of mismanagement. Its amazing how much better AMD is managed compared to Intel.
21,000+ dead and 100,000+ missing sounds like a war is happening in Saudi Arabia. Those are shocking numbers.
In the future when the cops he trained fuck up, they can point to being trained by this idiot as an excuse to get their department more budget for training instead of getting in trouble for the fuck up.
It is pretty ironic the entire time the gun industry was fueling paranoia about the government creating a database of all the gun owners they themselves were secretly creating a database of all the gun owners.
I grew up in that world too and he is exactly what those assholes used to rant and rave about while describing their Antichrist. Its funny how that turned out but I can’t say I’m surprised, they are really shitty people.
The weird fixation Trump has with the song YMCA is hilarious. It is literally one of the gayest songs ever recorded and he plays it for his cultists to sing and dance along everywhere he goes.
Looks like a criminal conspiracy to subvert the electoral process and deny people their right to vote. These assholes are going to create as much chaos as they can everywhere the vote count doesn’t go their way.
They are a British person traveling to America in order to engage in “election interference” if we believe Trump. It’s a fact which demonstrates that Trump is making a baseless and hypocritical allegation.
Trump already forgot Liz Truss flying in from the UK to be a featured speaker at the RNC convention just a few months ago.
“When you’re a star, they let you do it”
The Republican party, and a shocking number of people in general, are perfectly fine with whatever. They don’t actually have any kind of genuine moral or ethical system. I feel like such a fucking old man now talking like this but goddamn is it gross that a guy who paid children for sex is going to be the Attorney General, that is not how it worked when I grew up. I mean, it was how it worked but if you got caught that was it. Everyone shunned you and your career in public service was over, you had to go work as a lobbyist or sit on some corporate boards and keep your head down.
