Why don’t people realize what a complete fraud trump is. You’d think being convicted of it 34 times should be enough of a clue.

personally i think it's very cool that when you are poor and suspected of a crime you get thrown in jail while they figure out if you did it, while if you're rich and powerful you get to keep your job, get nominated to AG and make $ on cameo while people decide whether to publicly accuse you or not
Gaetz was apparently "to have paid numerous women — including a 17-year-old girl — for sex" and for buying "illegal drugs, *including from his Capitol Hill office*"
I know we're in a post-scandal society but cases like this should remind us of why that sucks actually

I’ve been to Las Vegas once and donated a roll of nickels to a ‘one armed bandit’ once to pass the time. The odds are better on Wall Street.

If the incoming administration kills the $7,500 #EV tax credit, California will come up with a replacement, but maybe not for Teslas.

Anyone know a good app for bluesky that doesn’t assume you’re on a cellphone. Graysky works pretty well but I can’t seem to get to the newsfeed, it wants me to choose preset ones.
