He underwent a successful heart transplant in 2012.

I’m an organ donor, but my ghost-self would be so mad if I died and my heart went to Dick fucking Cheney.

Lol I didn’t notice till I read your comment.

There actually was something in the article that surprised me:

The analysts also said consumers have paid for about 50% to 70% of the total tariff cost to date.

I was shocked it wasn’t 100% to 120%. The fact that any businesses are shouldering even a portion of the tariffs is incredible. I fully expected them to go “Oh tariff is 50%? Better charge the consumer 60% just so we get our cut.”

Yeah, did other people’s computers stop having power buttons or something?

I think technically that makes it an Appalachian Motorboat.

Li previously ran as a Democratic candidate for Congress, describing herself as a “tree-hugging progressive,” and sought the endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America. She lost her Congressional bid, and years later, shifted to the Republican Party and to becoming a strong supporter of Trump.

Grifting clear as day

Nice! I carved a Trogdor pumpkin a while back but couldn’t find it. I did find this YouTube link my brother emailed me 18 years ago though: https://youtu.be/ZpQmtjfsZU4

The lawmaker pointed to the Pentagon’s admission to explain why the Trump administration “could not actually hold or try the individuals that survived one of the attacks is because they could not satisfy the evidentiary burden.”

Call me old fashioned, but I’m of the opinion that if you don’t have the evidence to try someone, you definitely don’t have the evidence to execute them.

I feel like a bit got buried by the headline:

The filing also said Taranto drove to Obama’s neighborhood shortly after Mr. Trump posted the former president’s purported address on Truth Social and Taranto shared the post.

Trump posted Obama’s address online and it wasn’t front page news?? Or did I just miss it?

That’s what I gathered as well. They mentioned there was doorbell footage but refused to show it to her. I’m guessing they saw she was in town, saw a person that maybe partially could have resembled her maybe if you squinted on the doorbell footage, and said that was all the evidence they needed.

When you put it that way, I’m actually kind of mad. Most of my retirement is in index funds, so essentially OpenAI just pissed away half a percent of my life savings in the last quarter!

Some Americans voted for him 3 times!

Seriously, imagine how fucking dumb you would have to be to fill out three separate ballots over nearly a decade voting for a failed reality TV star.

Thanks for the tip. I wasn’t concerned about using my real email when I signed up for Lemmy when Trump wasn’t the president. Not sure if it’s possible to change the email tied to your account.

Yeah, it’s definitely not the cheapest sport. I’ve got a buddy in Texas who uses an app that finds him cheap golf for a like $10-$20 a round. Apparently if you don’t mind playing at shitty courses in hot weather at 1:00PM on a Tuesday, you can play on the cheap.

We should probably start getting our memes ready just in case.

I’ve been golfing (yea, I am aware that the majority of Lemmy hates golf) a lot more recently. I enjoy that it’s something that can be done with people of varying skill levels while still being fun. Ultimately, the competition is just with yourself to keep improving.

They still do have a union. It’s just illegal for them to strike.

Apparently Trump and Co have never heard of the Streisand Effect. No one would have heard about this commercial had he not thrown a hissy fit about it.
