  • I did absolutely no homework about tariffs

    Yep, it’s this bit that really got me:

    While Kennedy didn’t vote against Trump’s emergency tariff powers he criticized the lack of clarity on economic impacts.

    Understandable for some hillbilly gop voter to complain like that, but a senator? It’s his job to make informed decisions!

    And what are the chances he knew, and didn’t vote against it regardless? Assuming Signalgate shows us the average intelligence of the current government, I’d say 50/50.

    Just 10 years ago people would’ve called any politician who said moronic stuff like this a sore loser. And every non-expert would see that he is actually talking about cheating himself. What happened? The sanewashing needs to stop.

    Sounds like Trump has plans to make sure people like Susan Crawford don’t get elected in the future.

    It’s one of their stated goals. They’ve been against making voting easier fror the disenfranchised since day one. Day zero actually. Before that. For decades. Maybe close to a century now.





  • The checks are Musk’s latest attempt to use his vast wealth to turn out voters ahead of Tuesday’s election. (…)
    It’s the same playbook Musk deployed ahead of the November presidential election that some elections experts say broke the law around vote buying.

    And we’ve been saying it back then. Plus other election interference by abusing X, and even Tesla?, and not only in the US. I am beyond exasperated. No amount of “I told you so” will make me happy anymore. Has anybody beyond experts voicing their opinions (and no shade on them I’m sure they did what they could) done anything against Musk in the past years?
