Maybe you F’dU, but I think you were the stars of the party.

Me too.

It’s funny-- I grew up in Iowa, which was one of the last states to get modern looking license plates (with pictures and multiple colors, etc.). I always thought that the unber basic plates projected a feeling of being from a backwater that couldn’t afford or couldn’t understand modernity.

Now, those plates look almost like stupid state advertising or pandering, and the basic plates (esp. white on black, black on white, or California’s yellow on black) look retro and badass. Material Design and all that.

I guess I’m just old enough to see the old look new again.

They’re on the wheel on my district, but there are all sorts of odd rules. (E.g. related criminal cases, senior judges choosing the kinds of cases they’ll be on the wheel for, etc.)

So I’m looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I’ve tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/[email protected]), I’ve tried searching in the “communities” search, and I’m just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?

Weird. Works for me in Jerboa. What’s the crash?

Hmmm. That’d be a really fun point to argue.

George W. and Cheney for lying about WMD to get us into a war that cost billions (was it a trillion?) of dollars and tens of thousands of American lives?

Clinton for welfare “reform” and NAFTA, which made working class and poor people considerably less well off (though maybe that was inevitable)?

Nixon for lying and turning the presidency from an institution of relative trust to an institution of relative contempt?

LBJ for Vietnam?

Robert E. Lee and Jeff Davis for, you know, actually being traitors?

Trump’s thirst for power is awful, and our country is much worse off. The question is whether he did the damage, or whether he just allowed the damage to escape from the shadows, or whether that makes a difference.

I didn’t say that. Because Joe had some docs in his garage with his Camaro and Hillary didn’t get “locked up” even though she “destroyed” 30,000 emails, conservatives think that Trump can literally flush documents down the toilet, lie to federal officials, brag about having classified documents, and let them sit in the shitter because “the dems have done worse… by the way Hunter Biden!” I don’t think most conservatives want Trump to give secrets away (though they’d probably say they weren’t secrets anyway because he “thought” about declassifying them while he was president and therefore they were declassified), they don’t care.

I think it’s more like they’re willing to let him, so long as any democrat has done something 1/10th as bad, but similar in context, because of false equivalency and imagined persecution.

Sorry about the paywall. I couldn’t get the paywall blockers to work.
