Except it doesn’t

Ah, looks like you’re correct, I guess I got the claims conflated myself.

Let’s assume for a second that the claims about the MMR vaccine had merit. It was specifically claimed that the cause was the addition of thimerosal as a preservative agent. Despite there being no evidence supporting this assertion, thimerosal was removed from nearly all vaccines decades ago. Which means that, if he was genuine in his beliefs, he shouldn’t have a problem with any of them anymore.

EDIT It appears the thimerosal claim wasn’t actually linked to MMR, as that vaccine never had it to begin with. My bad.

He is a citizen. Now, there is some evidence he may have obtained that citizenship under false pretenses, but as of now he is legally a US citizen.

He legitimately might not remember. Someone asked him about calling Zelensky a dictator today and his response was “Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that.” And that was something he said just over a week ago.

It’s a shot across the bow. It gets people organizing and coordinating. Once people start working together on something, you can then direct that and focus long term on a boycott of, say Amazon.

Yeah, I’m not declaring victory yet. Celebrate the wins where we get them, but this is far from over. We have successfully thrown some sand in the gears, but there is still a lot of damage that can be done. This coup is ongoing, popular support be damned. He’s not going to stop trying as long as he’s in office.

Pearson has been operating like that for decades. I had similar issues with their online homework systems ~15 years ago.

No, it didn’t, but it is still regarded as the inciting incident that brought the US into the war. Stop apologizing for Trump being an idiot.

This isn’t some obscure statistic or random battle that he is ignorant of. It’s literally the inciting incident that got the United States to join the war. The Japanese forces launched a sneak attack on the US there, that’s literally all he needed to know.

You either don’t understand that either, in which case you’re showcasing your own ignorance, or you’re making excuses for him, in which case you’re a sycophant and can be disregarded.

They’re offended by being called out. Doesn’t matter what it’s about, it’s just the being called out that’s the problem.

Putting my arm around my girlfriend’s shoulder while we were sitting at an assembly. I wasn’t doing anything inappropriate, we were just sitting there. But the principal took me aside at one point and told me to stop.

I’ve been publicly referring to “President Musk” and “First Man Trump” and hoping it catches on. The more we can make Trump feel like there’s a perception that he’s not in charge, the more it will piss him off, and hopefully cause him to clash with Musk.

I don’t even necessarily want him to fire Musk. I want them to try to do conflicting things, give in to their nature to be contrarian, but with each other.

Heh. Potholes fixed with marijuana.

They want to be David vs Goliath. Being the ones persecuted means that they can go on the offensive without feeling bad about it. It means whatever they do is justified as being a means of survival. It gives them an excuse.

For the phrase, “broken” specifically means “stopped”, and the clock is analog. If the hands don’t turn, then they will be correct twice per day.

Just FYI, this phrase originates with a literal neonazi.

Except the president doesn’t have that authority. Congress could push back, but it’s currently populated by sycophants.

Yep. But Trump doesn’t care about that, he just cares about removing a piece of Obama’s legacy.

It’s because Obama is the one that did the renaming. It’s just petty revenge nonsense.
