It'll be fun to watch him try to get his revenge from Riker's.

[-] anticolonialist@lemmy.world 43 points 4 months ago

As much as I hate the MF Im confident he will never serve time.

[-] The2500@kbin.social 12 points 4 months ago

Yeah, being embarrassed is pretty much the best we can hope for, if he even registers that.

[-] anticolonialist@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

He wont see it as an embarrassment. His ego tells him all press, good or bad still keeps him name in the headlines.

[-] Facebones@reddthat.com 5 points 4 months ago

Exactly. I expect he's banking on losing the election, cause then he'd bring in infinitely more money but without all the hassle of pretending to do a job.

Or at Least sees it as a win/win.

[-] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

I think that actually was his strategy in 2016 but things spiraled out of his own control.

[-] bamfic@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Mob bosses have had people killed from Rikers and other prisons for a hundred years.

“A second Trump term means chaos, ripping away Americans’ freedoms and fomenting political violence – and the American people will reject it this November,” he said.

It’s like a love letter to ozma.😉 Enjoying the chaos of today?

[-] kromem@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

People can be upset about two things at once.

No one is a monolith.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I’m just messing around. Ozma said they love chaos the other day, and I suggested that is the reason they believe Trump will win in November. I respect Ozma’s honesty about their position, even if I don’t agree with their prediction. Biden’s quote was just too perfect to pass up.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

Biden camp should be doing more than fear mongering their base

[-] stangel@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago
[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 3 points 4 months ago

Biden scraps Trump’s paint scheme for Air Force One

When their list contains stuff like this, you know they're grasping at straws.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

That's cool, but this should be on blast on every social media, youtube add, billboard, radio, newspaper, etc. But I have not seen ONE add for the Biden campaign yet

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

Biden is loving this. More fuel for the fire to force you to vote for him regardless of what he does. This is dangerous. Fight for RCV!

[-] Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.world 29 points 4 months ago

Ranked choice voting. A system that is FAR better than our current system, but stands as a threat to our complacent two parties, and therefore will never become a realization.

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 4 points 4 months ago

Shouldn't you be able to get it in in at least some states via ballot measures, from where you can use it to send better people to DC to implement it federally?

[-] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

It's already in some states. Alaska has implemented it I believe and Nevada passed the vote for it once but still needs to vote again this year on it to switch over.

[-] Facebones@reddthat.com 1 points 4 months ago

Oh yeah 1000%. I should have figured that out but its bedtime 🤣

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Rcv : random commercial vehicles. Now your government literally drives over you.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

The amount of Biden lovers in this site is always impressive. Just look at this downvotes...

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

It’s not Biden lovers. It’s sheeple blindly subscribing to the Democratic Party. Could be any Democrat candidate and they’d be blindly loyal. Similar psychology to sports fans or Apple lovers. Their identity and self worth is tied to the Democratic Party.

Not sure why anybody would downvote RCV tho, unless it’s just ignorance.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I mean, both parties are pretty ignorant as a whole since that was part of the grander plan. So sad they don't pull their collective hearts out of the ground and look at what is really happening

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

It’s fear. Look at the downvotes. Nobody wants to be ostracized from their community. We all just want to be accepted. The Democratic Party flourishes through fear, guilt and peer pressure.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I agree, I guess I don't care to be ostracized because I rather do what's right for me than just do whatever everyone else is doing just to "fit in"

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Def not how the majority thinks

[-] buzz86us@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Just like the Republican party.. They're going to take yure gas car, gas stove, gun etc They're going help all the illegals Etc etc BS nonsense

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Two sides of the same coin. Nobody here is saying republicans don’t run on fear but people don’t want to admit dems are the same.

[-] buzz86us@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Sorry I want a livable planet.

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Exactly my point. People think dems are gonna save the world. If you’re afraid to vote for an alternative candidate or party, they’ve brainwashed you.

[-] buzz86us@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Trump is willing to sell out the planet for 1 billion dollars from big oil to limit EV transition. Sorry I'm voting Biden again. This isn't about competition it is about survival. We need to stop flogging a dead horse.

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

See they got you stuck. Doesn’t have to be just two options. Doesn’t have to be survival.

Find your local RCV group and fight for it in your city/state at the federal level unless you already have it.

[-] blunderworld@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 months ago

If a felon can still become the leader of a country, then that country is broken.

[-] jaxxed@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

That idea leads to Authoritarians getting charges put on their opponents.

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

It's been that way since... The beginning of the country

[-] TheLadyAugust@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

An unremorseful felon* (Not to split hairs)

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 months ago

I completely disagree.

The fact that he's a fellon does not even make the completely saturated list of reasons Trump should never be president again.

[-] jwt@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

I think the USA is plenty flawed, but on this one I'd have to agree with them. Would be way to easy to disqualify your opponent (especially as an incumbent president) otherwise. You should be able to let voters disqualify your opponent on merit.

[-] squirrelwithnut@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

How is it legal for a convicted felon to run for president? I feel like it shouldn't be.

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

If it's illegal, then the ruling party starts throwing everything at their political opponents until something sticks, even if that was smoking pot once in college.
