Add “stealing classified documents and hiding them from investigators” to the list of things our justice system says is okay now.

Chump’s silly Truth Social media company generated less revenue last year ($5 million) than a single Walmart store generates in two days. It never has and never will turn a profit.

The market value for Chump’s company is somehow $6 billion. Very serious, this system we have here. We’re doing great. 👍🏻

In the timeline I’m from, traitors, fascists, and nazis were universally regarded as bad. Very, very bad.

I’m a few days late on this, but I suspect that the whole April 20th 420 pot day thing was invented so that kids in the 1960’s/70’s would forget about the Ludlow Massacre.

Here’s some of that woke history they don’t want you knowing:

Every business-savvy executive knows that the best time to ask shareholders for an astronomical payday is when you’ve flushed 40% of the company’s stock value down the toilet in the preceding months. Shareholders love that.

I remember when the Tesla brand was synonymous with innovation.

Now, it is synonymous with casting doubt on the legitimacy of the US justice system in front of your 181 million followers.

Buy another car.

@randahl One of my little guilty pleasures is watching Tesla stock fall in direct proportion to how much he embraces extreme-right ideology. Tesla stock is down nearly 40% YTD, which is a jaw-dropping amount for any stock.

Israel is a first-world country that enjoys a GDP-per-capita just below that of Canada. When their enemies lob weapons at them, ten other countries appear out of the woodwork to shield them and shoot down said weapons.

It is BONKERS that anyone, anywhere is talking about sending them “aid”

What is a little white lie you were told as a child, that you believed for too long?

I was way too old when I figured out a human couldn't actually get sucked down a drain or flushed down a toliet. I used to cling to my little brothers, and pull them out of the bath any time my Mum would pull to plug.

@RickiTarr as a child, I was led to believe that being smart was going to matter way, way more than it does. I was well into my adulthood before I finally accepted this.

Chump’s latest grift, the public trading of his cult social media platform, is now down 50% after two weeks of trading.

Truth Social generates as much annual revenue as a typical McDonalds drive through, has three employees, has never had a profitable quarter, and is supposedly somehow worth 3 billion dollars on paper.

@benroyce has anyone ever been sentenced to prison time in a prison named after them?

@OGjester@stranger.social avatar

If you plan on driving somewhere to see the , my advice to you is this:

As someone who drove several hours to see the last eclipse in the middle of nowhere in Idaho, I cannot stress enough how ridiculous traffic will be when it’s over. Be prepared for a trip to take from 3 to 10 times longer than it normally takes. Know that you will likely be stopped In gridlocked traffic for hours. Pack food. Know that there may not be a bathroom. Plan for the worst.

I’m genuinely interested in finding the original source for my avatar pic. I found it years ago and just thought it was cool, so I saved it without much thought at the time. Does anyone know how to do a reverse image search, or some other way to find the artist who created this image?

Thanks! Would appreciate a little boostage.

@Janef @w7voa one of Biden’s biggest mistakes was not cleaning house on day 1 by rooting out the traitors and insurrectionists from the military, intelligence, and Secret Service. The traitors have been handled with kiddie gloves, and that never, ever ends well.

@PJ_Evans I feel like if we can track down terrorists hiding in caves on the other side of the world, tracking down people with “Fuck Biden” bumper stickers on their cars parked at the Pentagon shouldn’t be a heavy lift. @Janef

’s Truth Social is now a public company. Experts warn its multibillion-dollar valuation defies logic

“Despite the late-day slide, Wall Street is still assigning Trump Media an eye-popping valuation of nearly $11 billion — a price tag that experts warn is untethered to reality.”

Any car repair or knowledge about car stuff? 2018 Santa Fe Sport Hyundai. I hit a full 5 gallon bucket of something unknown in it last night. It was in my turn lane and couldn’t go over left or right to avoid it, heavy traffic. All seemed ok. Overnight though? 4 miles to Costco and hear big flapping sounds from passenger side back rear tire. I can’t bend over well but got photo under car. Is something missing or can you see anything to check. Am in a store lot. Contemplating what I should do.

OGjester,
@OGjester@stranger.social avatar

@cobalt if it’s only at that speed, it might be that the bucked knocked loose a body panel or rear bumper panel, and now it’s flapping in the wind. You may not see anything wrong when it’s parked. Could be as simple as a couple of broken $0.99 clips.

I know I say this once in awhile, but it’s worth noting:

Every good railroad track inspector out there has found something on the track during their career that has prevented a derailment. The money saved by that derailment that never happened would more than pay for all the wages, insurance, tools, training, and equipment for that track inspector’s entire career.

Today, I found one of those derailment-type track defects, and paid for my whole career for about the fifth time.

@qurlyjoe oh yeah; when you find something like that, it MUST be fixed before trains roll over it. @jarkman
