So looking over these numbers I have many questions, and I wish they had a breakdown of what people sell reported as instead of just the overall number of people surveyed, because I think was a good number of people trying to skew things (I hope at least - or else I really don’t understand).

Like comparing the 2 charts below for example:

• 11% of Dems found Trump favorable
• 9% of Dems found JD favorable (ouch for JD “couch fucker” Vance being 2 points behind a guy that is a convicted rapist and felon, and currently running the country into the ground)
• 17% of Dems found RFK Jr. favorable (the guy pushing for sick kids and hurting anyone requiring anything in the proximity of mental health)

• So overall in the 1st chart 18% think Trump is doing great, but then somehow 39% have a favorable opinion of him?
• And overall in the 1st chart 39% think Trump is doing a horrible job, but 57% have an unfavorable opinion of him overall.

So despite 39% of those surveyed thinking Trump is great, only 18% of them think he is doing great. While 57% of people surveyed think unfavorable of Trump, while only 39% think he is doing a horrible job.

The question cropped out of the image above:

Question: So far, in his second term, do you think Donald Trump has been a great, good, average, poor, or terrible president?

Source: AP-NORC poll conducted April 17-21, 2025, with 1,260 adults age 18 and older nationwide.

From the bottom of the survey: The nationwide poll was conducted April 17-21, 2025 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews using landlines and cell phones were conducted with 1,260 adults. The overall margin of sampling error is +/- 3.9 percentage points.

Was this written by AI?

Forty-two percent of Independents say Trump has the wrong priorities, 30 percent say an even mix, 9 percent believe he has the wrong priorities and 19 percent don’t know.

This sounds like they are going to deliver a truck that everyone is going to want/need to upgrade at least something, and are depending on this post-production upsell to keep things going. Reminds me of the Apple tax of only bare minimum RAM and you can pay a premium to upgrade it to something usable. And for Slate this fits well with the “customer can service/upgrade everything outside of battery stuff” as this lowers their overhead, and then are making a deal with a chain to do the servicing as the only alternative (and depending on which chain that is, and if the one near you is run well, could make this wildly different experience).

The article says they will have a 240 mile battery upgrade available at some point, that can be done at some yet undisclosed service center (article assumes a car service chain).

For everyone that is not a white Christian heterosexual man, absolutely. They want Gilead from The Handmaid’s Tale, which is the Project 2025 end goal.

Can we just stop pretending that this is even remotely an issue. The Right wants us all to debate this topic and keep it constantly in the news not because they actually think it’s an issue either, but because it’s yet another law they can in bad faith exploit to divide, confuse, and disenfranchise people.

We already have laws for this, and they work. End of story.

And are history as a nation is very white-washed, and even still it makes places like Florida have hurt feelings enough that they create laws to remove even the tiny bits of truth we actually still taught. You can’t talk about black history, that is reverse discrimination! You can’t talk about treating everyone fairly, that’s the work of Satan’s DEI program!

Using the rules/laws to further their racist/fascist views by talking in code and carefully crafted arguments that sounds “fair” to people with no critical thinking.

Codename Shamu, was a fun phone that I abused with so many different ROMs. Was a simpler time …

No logic needs to be involved when the only goal is to ruin the lives of marginalized people.

The title should be “Trump took in $240 million in bribes under the guise of being for his inauguration”.

They probably got sucked in like that reporter. You know how contacts work when you have a high profile government job with a work phone, all sorts of people just get sucked into your contacts like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.

When it comes to lead, there is no “safe” level of lead in ones body. I think the reason the FDA has a limit is because we know it’s everywhere, so having a standard limit lower than where the average person may begin to see noticeable side-effects is important. Although, as everyone’s body chemistry varies, what is “safe/tolerable” for one individual may not be for another.

Lead is also one of those things that from research I have read affects children to the greatest degree while their little brains are growing. In children it can cause things like aggression, learning disabilities, and slow growth and development amongst other things.

Also this is only one source of lead children (or any of us) may be absorbing, which would make you wonder about a compounding affect when looked at in aggregate. We know it’s in a LOT of chocolate, spices (cinnamon being the current one doing kids in), toys, and environmental things like paint in places like old homes and schools (read a story not long ago about a kid they figured out was being poisoned from lead paint dust on a windowsill at school).

That whole scene could be cut from the film and nothing of value would be lost. If it wasn’t for the Tiktok hype, that scene would have been forgotten as filler in an otherwise amusing movie.

“The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.’ “

That kind of shit should get these agents charged with kidnapping. You shouldn’t be able to take a “we’ll sort it out later” approach to shipping people off to a terrorist prison in a foreign country.

I wish Anonymous or someone could start adding the family of these agents to these scoop up lists, then see how long it takes their family members to come back home. Almost like SWATing, but using all the layers of Immigration against themselves.

That is Trump’s whole schtick, he bullshits everyone around him, and if called on it he is all deny/deflect/delay.

An no doubt they would have kidnapped these kids if the school had let them in.

They advertised and argued that they had no proof before, and that when you have no proof they just lie to further their agenda.

Ex. - JD actually said she quiet part out loud when asked about the pet eating myth during the campaign.

The robotic amoral Zuckerberg that we have come to know as a villain, surely not that one!?

And to deny women, minorities, and the poor their right without spelling it out.
