I believe this person said (and I'm not sure if I'm correct because this person was absolutely inconsolable) that one was their father's daughter and their (the daughter's) son. I will probably know more through the grapevine next week.

I work with someone who was related to two of the victims. they were absolutely inconsolable yesterday when the news got out.

especially if you don't have an iphone. I have seen so many accessories and apps that were made for use on iphones which would also be useful for android devices as well. my transplant clinic has a patient portal that has an app for iphones but nothing for android so you have to use their website.

in other words, it's a stimulus check, a thing that he can put his name on to prevent (and completely fail in doing so) the economic recession that would be caused by his stupid policies making the price of everything go up.

if I remember my geography correctly cullman county is north of jefferson county (birmingham) on I 65. I've got family from birmingham, so to me it's simply amazing that a rural white county decided to indict their white police force and recommend to completely disband it because of the corruption.

if a bunch of white people can do that with no black people involved in any way on either side, that police force must have been doing some seriously heinous shit.

she's asking for republicans of this iteration of the republican party, the one that embraces nationalism, religious bigotry, and a cult like behavior which has as a rote answer of READ THE CONSTITUTION to not only have actually read the constitution taken their paths of office seriously, and defy their cult leader.

if there was any integrity to those people at all, you wouldn't be seeing absolutely fucking stupid messaging bills like renaming dulles airport after trump, making trump's birthday a federal holiday, putting trump's face on mt. rushmore, taking over greenland and calling it red white and blue land in the house and all of trump's cabinet noms get confirmed in the senate. some of which you voted AYE for murkowski.

so take this warm mug of SHUT THE FUCK UP and go sit in the corner hypocrite.

there are a bunch of apps that I downloaded from amazon that were paid AND also were apps they were giving away for free. so what are they going to do about maintaining their functionality, because unless they do something the only other alternative that I see are on the high seas.

no. the entire personality of a trump supporter is donald trump. cutting yourself off from them at this point is not about politics as far as I'm concerned. it's about morals. these people have shown, as many as two times, that they are cool and support every thing he does and says. that's a moral issue. and cutting out the people who have the same morality as trump is not a you problem.

oh look, the inevitable conclusion of what happens when you crave power for power's sake so much that you sell your soul to appeal only to the true believers that your entire political career is 100% dependent on their votes even though you know they're fucking insane and get ultraviolent at the barest perception of being slighted or inconvenienced.

I notice that you conveniently left out the thing that I said at the very end, LIKE THE POD SAVE PEOPLE.

and if you bother to listen to the mtn you'd know that just because they're white and male doesn't make them white male lib bros. there are lots of podcasters out there who are also white and male and liberal absolutely do not act and talk like how they do on crooked media.

[–] ctkatz@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

"the left" doesn't need a dude bro podcast. that market does not exist.

what "the left" needs are more voices that are not mouthpieces for the consultant class or the white male lib bros like the pod save people.

the meidas touch podcast just beat out rogan as the top political podcast. how about more pods like that.

the offline gps app that I use and absolutely love I initially pirated for my iphone 3, then for my samsung galaxy vibrant and then actually bought and bought extras. I love this app.

then a few years ago they offered more features that I found useful but put them behind a subscription instead of buying them as a premium option as before and I don't like that. I still get to keep the options I bought, but any future add-ons forces me to subscribe and I'm not doing that.

honestly it might push me to see if it's possible to to pirate an app I already paid for to get any new features I may find useful.

 

this whole investigation was a textbook definition of a witch hunt. and now it's come to light that the entire basis of investigating hunter was from an fbi informant with close ties to russian counterintel. the same people who talked with rudy and the laptop.

hunter has a real good shot at winning a defamation suit against smirnov and rudy imo but I'm not a law talkin guy.

 

... in other words gaetz and company are admitting (knowingly or unwittingly) that

  • trump is an insurrecionist
  • trump is very likely to lose at the supreme court in his colorado 14th amendment appeal hearing
  • that the plain text reading of section 3 of the 14th amendment says congress can waive the condition (but only if 2/3 of both houses agree to waive the condition)

the funny thing is how when this passes the house, it won't be anywhere close to the 290 they need but they'll try to act as though it's binding. and they're doing this before the hearing, where the plaintiff's attorney and/or the colorado solicitor general can point out that since the house and senate have initiated resolutions declaring trump not an insurrectionist that the colorado supreme court ruling should hold since the congress has started the process of returning trump to the ballot.

and if I a non law talkin guy could see this and figure it out then so should the supreme court. especially if someone points that out to them.

 

does this mean I have to end my messages with #blessed now?

 

I've actually got 2 questions, one about l.w and one about lemmy in general.

  1. I signed up yesterday and got an email to confirm my address but it's not working. I've used the user I created, my email, and the user that was in my email and it's not working. is it me or is it the server here at issue?

  2. I've also got a mastodon account. how do I create a post on any sub straight from there and not through a lemmy instance?
