I’ve heard Norm Finkelstein say it as something his mother used to say. It’s a reference to how her Apple Strudel recipe was featured in a magazine before the war.

Yep, if history is any guide, Democrats, if they ever get back in power, will want to look forward, not back. They’ve done that with Nixon, Reagan, the GFC, torture, Trump’s whole ass coup, …

It just means that the exact same characters will just try again.

Yeah, can’t really joke about executions in the street.

Big issue with the state of politics, comedians are basically relegated to just reading the news because it’s already a satire.

Not implying he was President during the Biden years. I guess I meant as a prominent politician.

LMAO

It’s doable if you’re not constantly changing the plans. The issue appears to be that he keeps changing things about it. Every plan or rendering they’ve released is different and it keeps getting bigger with each iteration.

I wonder what a demolition crew does if you don’t pay them. Other tradies will typically just rip out their work, but it’s not like a demo crew can easily rebuild something they tore down.

I’m actually amazed how he keeps finding new suckers after decades of doing it in the private sector and almost 10 years of doing it as President. The only ones that really came out ahead are the criminals that bought their pardons. Everyone else gets screwed one way or another.

Between this and how they treated Afghans that collaborated with them, this is going to be a long term issue for future recruitment efforts.

Still not sure if it’s deliberate, but Trump is taking the exact steps one would take to dismantle the American Empire.

For this specific device you want to be able to hook it up to a TV, and unfortunately TVs tend to come with HDMI, not the superior displayport.

Yeah, the original post sounded very much like the typical fake story you see on Reddit.

Some people are still used to 100% windows at work and take that home, I guess.

You have to keep in mind that ever since Elon took over Twitter, nobody’s left that actually understands how it works, so whenever they implement a change they do it in the most hamfisted way possible, usually in the presentation layer.

Disabling translation was just the easiest way to do this, as banning Israeli accounts for their actual hate speech was going to get the ADL on Elons ass.

It took 3 grand juries to even be able to bring the case, it was always going to end in acquittal. Sure, it’s technically assault, but nobody was going to convict for that.

Or use canned food.

I was kind of hoping the defence would produce a receipt that confirmed it was a BLT without onions, hence proving the agent committed perjury.

I feel like that stuff might be horrifying to most, it’s exactly what his base wanted. I guess it might peel off the ones that just believed his economic ‘message’.

I mean, when he was on the ballot last time he did win. He has a way of drawing out his voters that luckily doesn’t easily transfer to other Republicans.

I mean, I actually believe him. He’s using the pardon power as a racket, you pay him a few million and you get a pardon, he doesn’t care who it is or what they did.
