        Yes, and they also want to be mad. They want someone to hurt the people they hate…

        This is a point I was making back during election season: all of media, left, right, and center, are all complicit for getting him elected, because they all sanewashed every nonsense comment. Every batshit thing he said was paraphrased in reporting to cut out the meandering chlamydia-induced brain fog that tied his sentence-fragments together. Very few people were actually watching him and listening to him, versus getting summaries and soundbites on the news, so very few people saw that he’s a complete fucking lunatic.

          Even the Spanish news networks were complicit. I remember seeing a clip where he said something bat shit crazy but the translation was something completely different.

          The media is who voters get permission from to cast their ballots. The media (mostly meta and cable news corps) is the real root cause of all the current gesticulates widely

            Man, you really proved your point with a list of NYT articles hidden behind a paywall.

            Did any of these articles that I can’t read actually quote the president directly?

    Hey, wait a minute. I never got my semiconductors. Did I get scammed? Maybe I needed to send Biden pics of me in my thigh highs to get my rebate?

      That is what I was about to say. Trans people are some of the most talented software developers(my field I don’t have observations for hardware stuff) I know.

      I am voting with two hands to give them more grants because I see the open source projects they maintain and create with next to no money.

        Im all for giving them grants if they give back some transistors. We cant have the worlds supply of any necessary item or resource tied up by 1% (or less) of the population…

        Somehow this seems more relevant to the oligarch class than the trans community, but then again Im not the president of the usa

    Fuck, I hate that I’m going to get downvoted for this.

    He’s a moron. Utter moron. However the underlying complaint about anything the Democrats did isn’t far off. Even with Rural Broadband, their requirements were so stringent that they effectively never got off the starting line. The dems continue to let perfection hinder progress.

    The CHIPS act itself was a sound plan. That much money takes time to execute on and once this moron came back into office, the act was screwed.

      The only reason I downvoted this comment was because of the “democrats pursue perfection” fallacy. The DNC establishment is performative. “Never getting off the starting line” is the goal. They want to get credit for the performance but are actively opposed to actually delivering anything beneficial, because that would mean fair and proportionate taxation of the wealthy, which they — being the wealthy and ruling class — must never allow.

      Not sure about the broadband funding, but the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Hurricane Helene/Milton/Maui Wildfire special funding weren’t overly strict, and those projects have been underway for a while. Sure, these are targeted at disadvantaged communities, but they’re supposed to be.

    You mean to tell me my trans friends and family are holding out on me?! They have stashes of CPU/GPUs. Who knew?
