Ah yes, New York and California… home of the biggest capitalist economies in the world are communist. New York home of Wall Street and California, the home of Silicon Valley and Hollywood are somehow communist.

Conman finds that yes, you CAN get away with it because yes, some people ARE that untouched by education and common sense.

I'm really starting to worry about the effects lead paint had on that generation...

If only there were Communist US states.

Well by this logic, hurricanes and tornadoes must be targeting republican states. What's the message being sent there? 🤔 At least you can somewhat design and build architecture against earthquakes...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I’ve noticed that people from tornado states are most afraid of earthquakes. Makes me think they believe that an earthquake is scarier than a tornado. The amount of fear I see suggests that tornado’s must be terrifying to live through.

Tornadoes don't really affect large areas like earthquakes do. It might wipe out a neighborhood, but that's usually about it. Very few people actually die from them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Earthquakes are mostly nonevents but tornados are devastating to whatever they hit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I agree, but I guess it has to do with their relative unpredictability (as far as I understand). Hurricanes you can prepare for days in advance. And at least tornado's you can 'see them coming' to the point where if you're unlucky you might lose your house, but not your life. Not sure how the numbers back that up (or if they can even be compared), but emotionally that feels like the answer.

Funnily enough, looking at the stats for the US from 2020 onwards to now (averaged to annual data), 272 deaths per year were caused by Storms, 63 by extreme temperatures, 56 by wildfires, and only 0.5 (so in the last 4 years only about 2 people) by earthquakes. source

So statistically, they should be more afraid of hurricanes and tornadoes (But to be fair, the odds of dying to these are extremely low to begin with, car accidents are probably far more common)

And which landscaping company's storage yard did he announce this from?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That is still one of the most surreal moments to come out of that whole mess.

I just don't understand how it was allowed to play out. At some point, someone had to decide that going ahead with it was more important than waiting a day and finding a suitable location.

For the life of me I can't remember what the press conference was about, only the screw up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Extreme ego and narcissism allowed that to happen. It was a simple mistake in booking that they refused to own up to because that would be admitting mistake which is something fascist leaders are completely unable to cope with

I love how this dried up old dipshit had it made in the shade after 911 but these maga dumbasses can't let their little glue sniffing brains feel like the spotlight isn't on them anymore. The world will be a better place once this idiot is behind bars or dead...or both.

Ah yes, NYC and Wallstreet. The bastion of communism.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago

Giuliani? The Russian asset? Communism?

Weird timeline.

Did this guy ever pay the $140+ million dollar defamation lawsuit?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Do you even need to ask? I mean to know, not to remind us it exists?
