“I don’t control Laura. Laura has to say what she wants,” Trump said. “I can’t tell Laura what to do.”
If he can’t influence the actions of one of his supports that is physically near him, How does he expect to influence the actions of Putin, Zelenski, Netanyahu, and Hamas?

If these posts are made in a relatively short time then it could appear as spam. I browsing New is my default and, on a couple of occasions, I have blocked a user simply for being too active and flooding my feed.
I’m guessing Trump does not remember when Elon Musk tried to bully Zuckerberg into a physical fight leading to Zuckerberg accepting the challenge and Musk having to tuck tail and run.
Have you tried taking it anywhere that requires a transfer? Last time I saw, all transfers required going to Union Station. Doesn’t matter if that is the opposite direction of where you want to go. Union Station is (or was) the only option if you were not traveling in a straight line.
All of my knowledge on Los Angeles public transit is about 15 years old. I really do hope that they have improved since then.
I am also just talking about just the Metro rail system. I never attempted any other public transit options in LA.
Los Angeles. No car. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
That city has one of the most dysfunctional and impractical public transit systems I have ever known. Admittedly, I have not experienced many, but it is bad enough for me to believe the conspiracy theory that car manufacturers have influenced city leaders to ensure that cars are mandatory.
That Trump campaign sounds like a well oiled machine.
The ban also forbids marketers from exaggerating their own influence by, for example, paying for bots to inflate their follower count.
I wonder if “followers” includes users and how that will impact Twitter, Reddit, Facebooky, Instagram, TikTok, etc who use stats like active users to drive ad sales.
As individuals will each have multiple records associated with them, one for each of their previous home addresses, the breach does not expose information about 2.7 billion different people. Furthermore, according to BleepingComputer, some impacted individuals have confirmed that the SSN associated with their info in the data dump is not correct.
National Public Data scrapes the personally identifying information of billions of individuals from non-public sources
Honest question: If these sources are non-public, how did National Public Data get access?
Facetious questions: If they are using private or restricted sources of data accumulation on an international scale, should they be calling themselves National Public Data? Seems like Global Private Data would be more fitting.
What is Flipboard?
Seriously, 4 to 6 words is all it would take.
Flipboard, a social media aggregate app, is making good on a major fediverse promise.
Is that what it is? Did I guess right?
I’m just guessing here but I would think that cooking would kill off anything picked up from the thawing process.
It’s nasty, but not necessarily unsafe.
… the justices said the court’s rules and principles are, for the most part, “not new.” However, “codification” of existing principles is meant to clear up concerns about the justices operating without oversight.
Sooooo the same failed guidelines that are not enforced and carry zero consequences for selling their judgements? That’s what they think will restore trust in their court instead of deepening the image of rampant corruption and politicking?
The first two sentences of the article literally answer your question.
“The Why Files” and “Kutzergart”.
If I’m really not ready to sleepy, I find the content interesting. If I am ready to sleep but my brain won’t shut down then I ignore the words and I find the voices very soothing and relaxing.
Whaaaaaat? Years of saying he was right about everything, acting like he could do no wrong, protecting him from the consequences of his words and actions, and encouraging his narcissism has lasting consequences?
If only they had one or two opportunities to stop him from running for president a second time.
I think that there is something wrong with the “not my job” approach. I believe in the saying “The only thing evil needs to thrive is for good people to do nothing.”
Assuming that everyone has shared in your socioeconomic upbringing and therefore has the same access to diverse ideas is flawed.
I am personally inspired by Daryl Davis, a black musician who, through simple conversation, has convinced grown adult Ku Klux Klan members to change their ways and renounce the KKK.
I believe that people should work towards the changes they want to see manifest in the world.
I understand the frustration and seeming futility in trying to change the minds of those with opposing views. It takes constant work and vigilance, but it is important challenge their ideas. Even if you make zero impact on them, you can reach other people. Especially if you have the discussion in a public venue, like an internet firum. Even if you don’t change any minds, if you truly believe in something then you should continue to work towards it.
As for the “they should already know better” argument, I wonder if you are familiar with Daryl Davis, a black musician who would sit with members of the KKK and talk to them about their beliefs. He has well over 20 robes from former klansmen who have given him their robes after he changed their views with those conversations. Turns out that most of them have never had anybody calmly listen to and then dispute the racist claims that they grew up with and have heard repeated their whole lives.
Notice how I am talking about confronting and challenging ideas, not tolerating them.
The only thing evil needs to thrive is for good people to do nothing.
This sounds like you are promoting an “I’m right, your wrong, and I have no responsibility to correct or educate.” mentality. I’m not sure if trusting the people with opposing views to change on their own is the best approach. I think only deepens divides and entrenches opposition.
People with opposing ideas do exist in a vacuum and will have no problem putting the time in to recruiting others to their way of thinking and promoting similar thinkers to positions of power and influence. Ostracizing those you disagree can just as easily put you in a bubble of isolation, or an echo chamber, as them.
Not to mention that discussing opposing ideas improves understanding both by defending your views and by better understanding the why and origins of their ideas.
Neither was a Democrat. The first was a Republican and the second was a former Trump supporter. It’s conservatives that are trying to do the assassination.
