In his joke, Hinchcliffe, known as Kill Tony, said: "There’s a lot going on. I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico."

US congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar said she was "disgusted" by the "racist comment". She said on X that it did not "reflect the GOP values", referring to the Republican Party, and noted thousands of Puerto Ricans served in the military.

This is exactly the "GOP values", has she not listened to the hate coming out of the GOP for decades?

US Senator Rick Scott said: "The joke bombed for a reason. It's not funny and it's not true." He added that "Puerto Ricans are amazing people and amazing Americans".

Weird take when the GOP candidate has been spewing lies [many racist in nature] about anyone he sees not bending the knee.

"This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign," spokesperson Danielle Alvarez said in a statement.

Funny how they pick a guy with a history of saying racist stuff as a "joke" and then try to distance Trump and his campaign from it when even Republicans got upset about it.

The same guy that lied about rushing to help people on 9-11? Surely he wouldn't lie about helping people in the aftermath of a natural disaster? You'd think he was kind of a con man trying to grift himself into some kind of position of power, huh.

It's rats jumping ship, and pretty telling when Trump's "brand" is deemed too toxic for even some of the biggest shit heads in his orbit. And that is how the media should be framing it, if they didn't want a fascist in charge at least.

He doesn't sound like he wants to be a cuckold, he wants to spank his daughter in a sexual way. This is just like Trump broadcasting how he wants to have sex with Ivanka more than anything. If their daughters could be talked into it, both of these sick fucks would be down with fucking their kids.

But Trump is still 100% about himself, so the second Musk is unable to do what Trump wants from him he'll turn on him too. And Pence got his religious following (and the beginning of his cult - help put him between God and his base), and Guialani was in charge of lies/propaganda (to feed the cult). They both served their purpose for Trump until he no longer needed them.

Biden doesn't do anything to piss Republicans off, he bends over constantly to make everything bipartisan. And picking Garland was probably because he knew that he would play it "safe" and do nothing rather than have anyone be able to begin to say he was doing something political. Garland has been in such contrast to Barr who just shit all over the law like he had done in the past (and I wouldn't doubt got a secret pardon before the end just in case he ever needs to play that card).

Yep, this is all about exhausting public resources and damaging the image of public education so that less people question the push towards "private" education making a profit for the grifters, and will allow them to rewrite the rules.

I feel like although possible now, that this may need to change going forward since I'm not sure how Amazon can validate your review if not done through their platform.

This of course fragments reviews to specific retail storefronts, but if the platform can't validate at least the fact you purchased the item I don't see anyway they can even begin to know you're leaving a legit review.

I don't see a link for this, but found the github page for Mentions United.

But as stated during the trial, the reason he wanted to hide the Stormy stuff was to protect his campaign. So by making a deal with National Enquiry to catch and kill the story to protect his campaign, not his family, means it was a campaign finance violation because he tried to do it on the DL instead of declaring it the legal way.

And you're right that paying someone to stay silent isn't illegal (as long as the thing you're having them stay silent about itself is legal), but doing it in furtherance of his campaign without properly reporting it is illegal. So pretending it's just a casual falsified business records case is downplaying the election interference by trying to hide payouts to protect his campaign bid (electability).

Edit - it was the 2nd crime (election interference) that made each count a felony instead of a misdemeanor.

Well if you take a company like Amazon they know everything about you already, including if you actually purchased the item you are reviewing. And that should be a simple first "hurdle" for a reviewer to be legit. They already have a way of sorting them out and labeling them in place. So I would assume this means if you don't have that label your review doesn't go live. They can then add more qualifiers to prove they know the reviewers are real, since this seems to put the onus of proof on the company not that FTC.

Edit - some words

Yeah, I think for 99% of people tech has really stopped evolving and we have allowed corporate bean counters to lock shit down and then abandon it. When the nerds ran the show we had innovation and constant improvement of a product because technology is awesome. Then capitalism killed it. Now you get a cool car with a shit infotainment system outdated and never updated the day you take delivery, when we could have some crazy shit with badass HUDs and sensors for everything. We could make it harder for assholes on the road to try and kill everyone. We could make all cars in the area aware of the road hazard driving 45 in a 55 during rush hour. None of that stuff makes the line graph go up though, so we wait for the next nerd with money and a desire to create the future.
