There's no evidence of that here, but I'm fine with right-wing conspiracy crazies freaking out over the possibility.

Fair point. But our cars? Nah.

[-] [email protected] 46 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, good luck with that. No one's gonna buy our rice or shitty, gas-guzzling cars over there because of this trade war shit, so this is basically just Trump announcing a 15% tax on consumers who want to buy stuff from Japan.

Nah, he was old and sick, so it's probably natural causes, but it certainly won't help the conspiracy theorists on the right who've been flailing around over Epstein.

Translation: Military bases in New Jersey, Indiana, to be turned into concentration camps.

Yeah, but the price of eggs...

Dude, read the room. Yeah, your road probably needs to be repaired, but not with that money.

That's how it begins. Gradually, you'll see things you're used to always having in stock disappear, while other things become steadily less affordable. It's nothing that happens all at once, just a slow boiling of the frog until supermarket shelves are a wasteland.

Locking this post because people are getting downright vicious to each other in the comments.

Look, I get it. The gargantuan shit-show that is U.S. politics and the American descent into fascism is on everyone's minds. It's certainly on mine.

But the point of this community is to highlight weird news stories that make you go, "By golly, I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion. You know, America's finest news source." A lot of stories being posted lately don't even remotely fit that.

That doesn't mean political stories aren't allowed here, but they must have headlines that would make people pause and wonder if it's a story from The Onion. Straight up regular, non Onion-y headlines don't fit.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

For the record, Trump is 78 years old. Assuming he survives and manages to stay in office, he would be 86 when we're finally rid of him.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

That's gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.

Ugh, the smoke (lemmy.world)

I hate the fact that it's almost fall now, and we're seeing temperatures around 100 degrees fahrenheit and smoke from first fires. In September.

If you're attending, you can read the Peach Pit online here. I'm not going to be able to make it this year, but hope Eugeneans who can have a great time.

And stay hydrated! It's still going to be beastly hot out!
