She would have been amazing as a president, but if you really want to trigger a red wave of insane Trump voters foaming at the mouth about “her emails!” bringing back Hillary would definitely be the way to do it.

TBH, I support him more now than I did in the 2020 election, having seen him in office. He’s working the system to get some stuff done, even with the clown show congress he is presiding over. Is he perfect? No. But no elected official is ever going to be perfectly aligned with what everyone wants, unfortunately. Maybe we can get AOC to run in 2028?

But yes, the alternative of Trump basically dismantling the government and replacing it with some crazed shitshow is definitely a motivating factor too.

Wow, I totally see what you did there!

Spot the difference

As opposed to out in broad daylight, mid-interview and mid-speech, like Trump?

This is the stupidest thing they could possibly do. How in the hell would Trump be any better on that one specific issue?

Meanwhile, on every other issue he’s going to be a demented (literally) nightmare tearing down the foundations of democracy in any way he can so he can keep power this time.

EDIT: Meanwhile…

Browsers love it!

Practically anything you write will execute without all that scope and well formed statements nonsense.

Mind you, number 2 is also its biggest flaw as well, but…

Gosh, that’s $1000 per year they tried to give that poor black woman that failed to caste a single provisional ballot, let alone 9 successful votes.

Trying to unstick from a relationship with that country that has been far too close for far too long, IMHO. You see a lot of signs that they’re very unhappy with Israel’s actions, but the Israeli lobby is incredibly influential and aggressive. It is taking time to change course.

Still doesn’t negate the fact that Trump would simply be done and dusted of the whole thing and completely ignore Israeli actions, unless it caused more chaos. And those are the only two options we’ll see on the ticket in November.

Lol. My first propagandist for Putin. Neat!

LOL. So are you planning to vote Trump and basically let democracy fade away? Because I promise that is what will happen if he’s elected.

How in the actual fuck is this douche blaming Biden when the GOP have fought tooth and nail against ANY kind of positive change in this country under a DEM president??

The fact he’s managed the reforms and infrastructure and economic rebound that he has when the Supreme Court, every state GOP state attorney, and the GOP-led House have been walking anything he does accomplish back as fast as they can is practically a miracle, frankly. I mean, look at what he has accomplished despite the odds.

This is such clickbait. Let’s see, on the left, a candidate who is “old” but has done a ton of good studf in the last 4 years (but not all good stuff, obviously). On the right, a guy a couple years younger but obviously suffering a touch of dementia and Russian blackmail, who has promised to be a dictator on day 1, who has made extreme efforts to hold into classified documents, who has fraud cases, racketeering cases and various other cases pending against him, etc etc.

Which to choose, the decision is so harrrrrd!

You should just be able to go into Focus Status and disable it. That will stop the Mac from being able to trigger Focus no matter what. If you really want to neuter it completely, you can delete any Focus modes you see there too.

As for Do Not Disturb, it is usually mirrored from other devices too, so maybe you turned on DND on your phone or triggered a focus mode from there or something?

I’ve been using Mlem quite happily.

They seem to be back up now (for me at any rate), but apparently their ISP was having network issues.

Yeah, but it’s practically pointless to bring it up IMHO, because if we’re comparing elephants, the “elephant” of Biden’s age (and I’m very much not convinced it’s not 90% media clickbait having seen his’s recent ProPublica interview) is much less terrifying than the entire freaking herd of elephants in the room whenever Trump enters.

Dementia, insurrection charges, sexual assault convictions, fraud trial, treasonous behavior, dictatorial aspirations—the dude is a walking nightmare for this country.

Biden maybe has mild issues with mental fog in the evenings and a vibrant and intelligent VP to back him up if the worst comes to pass. Trump, OTOH, is some kleptocracy shill who publicly talks about wanting to dismantle our democracy and never leave power again and hasn’t even named a VP candidate yet (but you can bet they’ll be an utterly spineless lickspittle after Pence shocked him by growing a pair right at the end). If he gets in office, we’re pretty much screwed, period.

EDIT: Mind you, obviously I’d much rather be voting for someone like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren or AOC, but since Hilary got unfairly bumped for the presidency, we got the Orange Terror instead, who proceeded to destabilize the country as much as possible during his term and here we are…
