That was their quick response, of course. Washington DC is “the swamp” which I guess is why Swamp Baboon is so eager to go back there.

squiblet@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Senior Republican who called Trump ‘inexcusable’ endorses him for president16·1 year agoThey had their loser reasons for backing him then and they still stand. Trump is popular enough with their deranged constituents to carry the state in any election, and that’s what matters to them.
squiblet@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the food young children make in other cultures?61·1 year agoThe first things I recall learning to make for myself were marmalade sandwiches and this concoction of pinto beans, sausage and cheese. I’d heat it in the microwave, which in classic American tradition was made by an offshoot of a defense contractor, Litton. The first thing I learned to cook on the stove, when I was 7, was scrambled eggs.

squiblet@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•The Republican party wants to turn America into a theocracy383·1 year agoWhen was the last time people were in doubt about that? Conservatives have been trying to pass laws that affect everyone based on their confused religious moralism for decades. Things like “blue laws” (banning sales of alcohol on Sunday) are connected to Christians trying to impose their religious ideas on people. Or the idea that someone’s testimony or oath can’t be believed if not sworn on a bible.
squiblet@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Trump says his criminal indictments boosted his appeal to Black voters271·1 year agoEven better, he continued AFTER they were exonerated, got a settlement, and someone else confessed and was convicted based on DNA evidence. If there’s one thing this chump can’t do, it’s ever admit he was wrong. Oh, and another, he can’t just stfu about something.

squiblet@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Fox News cuts into footage of Trump's speech in South Carolina to point out inaccuracies1311·1 year agoCavuto went on to shoot down his claim that gas prices are at $6 a gallon, sourcing the real price as being an average of $3.26 a gallon.
Good. I’m so sick of the wild bullshit like that this baboon makes up. Gas is around 2.80 where I live which seems quite cheap given that it was that price 20 years ago and everything else has gone up so much. Then, of course, there’s the fact a lot of people are super-confused about that presidents don’t set the price of gas.
squiblet@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Fox News cuts into footage of Trump's speech in South Carolina to point out inaccuracies72·1 year agoMy understanding is they could play all the videos of Trump saying bullshit they want, just not assert it themselves. They could repeat it but be careful to say “Person x alleges this” rather than stating mistruths as fact.
squiblet@kbin.socialto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK The US Government has a Webpage for New Fathers to Find Dad Jokes192·1 year agoSomeone cited recently how much we were paying a year just for air conditioning in Afghanistan: $20 billion. Meanwhile we’re like “hey, maybe children shouldn’t be starving in school and forced to throw their lunch in the trash at the end of the line if they can’t pay for it, maybe states shouldn’t be sending parents to collections for a $90 kid’s lunch bill” and conservatives: WHO’S GONNA PAY FOR THAT??
squiblet@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Fetterman to Democrats criticizing Biden: ‘Get your MAGA hat’64·1 year agoSplitting the Dem vote with third parties is a good way to get Trump elected. So it’s a sideways way of voting for extreme fascism.
squiblet@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you often hear the ringing of switching power supplies and devices when you are in a quiet space?11·1 year agoYes, I can hear them. Usually it’s not a problem but I have had 1-2 power adapters that annoyed me.

squiblet@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Romney rules out voting for Trump, citing court’s sexual abuse finding in Carroll case36·1 year agoIt’s always amazing where some Republicans draw the line. Overt racism? Bizarre incoherence? Trying to overturn an election with a riot? Spousal assault previously documented in court? Paying off prostitutes with campaign money? Trying to use federal foreign aid money to start a fake smear campaign on an opponent? Calling up state election officials and pressuring them to create a bullshit election investigation? Politicizing public health because you’re vain about your weird makeup? Mocking disabled people? Having Russian officials over to the White House and destroying the translator’s notes? Saying things about women like “bleeding out of her whatever”? Demonstrating a pattern of fraudulent accounting for decades? No problem. But this ONE thing, that’s too much.

squiblet@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is living with your parents considered a bad thing?1·1 year agoI’ll add one two letter word in case you were confused.
squiblet@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is living with your parents considered a bad thing?324·1 year agoSomehow this became a cultural thing in the US. In some other countries like in South America it’s perfectly normal for 3-4 generations to live under 1 roof.
My guess is it’s tied to making people spend more money for capitalism. The effect it’s had on families is not very positive. It leads to things like elderly people draining thousands from their savings or family members a month for nursing homes. People have to hire child care when otherwise family members could watch a child. Children grow up with more distance from older relatives. Buying additional homes and cars is way more expensive than sharing them. Additional cable and utility bills. More appliances. More food waste.
Red chile sauce with poached eggs for me, then later a bottle of Vinho Verde. Pretty decent so far.
