So basically a racist broken clock that made a point that a lot of us are making for the wrong reasons.

It’s all too often that the abused become the abuser. the circle of abuse continues.

You know what pisses me off so much about this too? The tariffs that first term Racist in Chief put on washers to “protect” American multinationals that created crap washers, that triggered China to tell soy famers to F off, resulted in washers AND dryers being increased by 100+ dollars per by BOTH foreign and domestic washers.

Not only that, it also resulted in American manufacturers still closing plants and shedding jobs by the hundreds while there was a maybe 1K jobs created as the foreign companies basically created a few factories that did final assembly here to avoid taxes.

The soy bean farmers got hit for literally nothing but raised the cost for US consumers for all washers and dryers because American companies are greedy assholes that just raised their prices to match the tariffed machines and did nothing to improve quality or engineering.

And then like you said, threw away the soy bean market recovery that Biden got them after smoothing over the stupid, unnecessary trade war that the previous moronic racist put in place by electing moronic racist back into office…

Nothing special. I just run a instance of jellyfin and have a my book collection shared that way.

I’m sure not the most efficient but it works.

Funny, my old kindle seems to be downloading e-books just fine from my self-hosted server.

This is just the simple consequence of the American voters actions and Americans having the day they voted for.

Honestly I can’t be arsed to care more than a surface level because in the forty+ years of being alive, I know that Americans are simply doomed to repeat this cycle of going down the drain with their proud ignorance and sixth grade reading comprehension.

Provide proof there bucko.

EVs pose no greater risk to pedestrians - study

From AP live updates:

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Wednesday that a ceasefire and negotiations with the U.S. on ending the war is “unreasonable” as he accused the U.S. violating three of Tehran’s 10 conditions for an end to the fighting. It comes as the not yet day-old ceasefire appears at risk of fraying over significant disagreements between the parties.

I think it’ll be worse.

I think his team will be desperate to end the stupid war he started, I think he’ll use his art of the deal to give Iran most of the ten point plan they want with no concessions to not seek out nuclear weapons, I think that might win on reparations but will lose the toll.

Either way I think Iran will extract money from the US taxpayer to restart their nuclear weapons program and this time they won’t stop because they’ve seen what America will do with Israel under Republicans and they don’t see Republican attacking North Korea even though they’re much the same except with nukes.

From the bbc:

And even if Iran does fully open Hormuz – without conditioning passage on tolls or other payments – its ability to control the key geopolitical chokepoint is more clear now than ever.

In a statement after Trump’s ceasefire message, Iranian foreign minister Seyed Aragchi said that Iran would halt its “defensive operations” and allow safe passage through the Hormuz “via coordination with Iran’s armed forces”. He added that the US had accepted the “general framework” of the Iranian 10-point plan.

That plan includes the US withdrawing its military forces from the region, lifting economic sanctions on Iran, paying compensation for war damages and allowing Iran to maintain control over Hormuz. It is hard to imagine Trump actually agreeing to any of those conditions – a sign that the next two weeks of negotiations could be treacherous.

Not exactly what I would call agreeing to open the straight.

Bets on when Iran says there is no deal?

I think they’ll announce that Trump has agreed to negotiate on their proposed plan.

Because most military coups have been such a rousing success for regaining Democracy.

When the GOP convention rolls around we see a huge spike in grinder searches. I think we know that the GOP has a big ol’ issue with gender confusion based on their GOP family values.

Notwithstanding but as an American that didn’t vote stupid, I think that the American public deserves what it voted for. I would say the American public would learn but unfortunately with a voter base that averages a sixth grade reading and comprehension level, I don’t have low hopes.

Honestly, the people that I actually feel bad for our allies and the rest of the world that did nothing to start this asinine war and are feeling the exact same economic impact.

Of course they are because that’s how Republican tariffs work unlike regular tariffs.

Are we though?

Waiting for the bombshell documentary, Seabiscuit 2, to show some of those uncomfortable truths.

But you see, when JD Vance takes over it’ll be all kinds of different and the Republicans will finally fix everything the Deep State Democrat Trump broke.

Meanwhile, watching the NCAA game yesterday I watched multiple commercials from Microsoft stating copilot as something to use in your daily work place and work flow. And I didn’t see any disclaimer that AI was for entertaining purposes only and that they weren’t liable for killing your business.

I did not have Iran saving us from Slopnet on my bingo card this year but here we are.
