Batya Ungar-Sargon insisted. “This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd. We don’t need to invent outrage.”

This is a man who has been in the public eye for decades. He has given speeches to crowds before. At no point has he spontaneously seig heiled as a means of expressing emotions before. He knew exactly what he was doing. He felt secure surrounded by this crowd and took the opportunity to make a statement.... and they fucking cheered.

It makes me want to throw up. I am exhausted by these articles. It reminds me of the narcissits prayer. -That didn't happen. -And if it did, it wasn't that bad. -And if it was, that's not a big deal. -And if it is, that's not my fault. -And if it was, I didn't mean it. -And if I did, you deserved it. They give him an inch and he takes a mile.

We figured that one out for ourselves.

The man just did a Nazi salute while standing behind a podium with the Presidential seal on it at the Inauguration. All bets are off if you are thinking of government as it existed before this moment.

He has enough money to do what he wants. And there are enough idiots around him that believe his bullshit and applaud.

This is the most incredibly selfish thing I could possibly imagine. An old man moping about his inability to cling to power for another minute. As the next generations look on, begging for someone to act.

He paints Trump as a villain (rightfully so) but is so pathetic that he is unable to rise to any heroism. At least go out swinging.

Don't know what I expected. But it is a slap in the fucking face to hear this.

I wish that would affect them. Even just to pause and reflect. They won't. It hasn't been about the teachings of Christ for a long time.

At least we'll have some entertainment as the country burns down around us.

It's ironic that Elon runs a company called Tesla, when he is so clearly a modern-day Edison. Taking credit for the great ideas of other engineers. I have always doubted his genius, because anyone who tries that hard to prove to everyone he is smart is just selling himself to make money.

It is so clear that he lied about the video game thing because it is a tactic that has worked for him before. Fake it till you make it. We need to stop considering any actions from SpaceX or Tesla to be the fruit of Elons labor, give the credit to the engineers there and let Elon be the weirdo knock off Tony Stark he always has been.

Great, let's just leave it all up to Elon. What could possibly go wrong?

The only thing worse than 2 billionaires leading an unregulated government entity is a single billionaire leading it. Giving Elon completely unchecked power.

Watched from my kitchen window as my dad and my dog were chased by a skunk. It was exactly like a comedy sketch. First it was dog barking at skunk with dad yelling from the side door. Then it was skunk chasing dog, dog chasing skunk with dad chasing dog. Then the tables were turned, and my dad was being chased by the skunk.

It was glorious. I remember it taking ages before they could get safely inside. My dad was pissed at the time. They both were partially sprayed, but I don't remember it being that bad of an aftermath. We laugh about it now.

Where the hell did they find this guy? Did he get the position purely based on the fact that he looks like the villain in a WW2 movie?

I know he has been in Trump's orbit for a while, but seriously. Was there no one else remotely qualified?

The old ball and chain! Am I right?

 

Macy's announced to employees it is closing its Philadelphia store in Center City, which has been open since 2006. The location is expected to close sometime in March, one of 65 Macy's locations that will be closing as part of a cost-savings initiative. The planned closure leaves the future of the historically important Wanamaker organ and beloved traditions like the holiday light show and Dickens Village in doubt. The interior of the Wanamaker Building holds rare protections from the Philadelphia Historical Commission.

Boyd feels the town slipping away from him as the weather grows colder and the residents more desperate.

Just wanted to say I am so excited to watch Season 3. This will be my first the will force me to be patient because I watched the other seasons late and could binge all the episodes.

Hoping for some discussion here on Lemmy.
