US media company Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million (£13.5m) to settle a legal dispute with US President Donald Trump regarding an interview it broadcast on CBS with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

As usual corporations looking for special treatment, hoping to have their merger accepted, refuse to fight the fascist...

I wish someone would sue Fox for fucks sake..

91°F (32.7°C) in the factory I work at.

The law states "all factories must maintain a reasonable temperature and humidity."

Nowhere is reasonable ever defined. I am mildly infuriated. And very hot lol

Edit: 94° (34.4C) now and this post has made it close to the top of "Hot"... The gods are having a laugh lol

if Democrats ever win I fully exepct this:

"Now is a time of healing. To better unify our Great Nation™®© we are going to let Republicans fill every committee and pick every judge, we are even looking into how we might let them have the presidency. If we can't, do not worry, we will behave as if we were Republicans and will do as they wish."

Lmao "is_public= False."

"Shit did I say that out loud?"

I'll never understand that reaction. I completely understand seeing that and wanting to kill yourself, but I never thought the happy couple should die.

I see those kinds of couples and my only thoughts are usually some form of "lucky lucky. I'm such a worthless piece of shit." Lol

Yeah fucking right. Jesus Christ. We need to just accept that it's over. He's never going to face any consequences and NY is not sending anyone to the White House to drag him out...

It's time I stop reading the news for the next 4 years. It's going to be nothing but absolutely infuriating.

Trump gets away with everything and the people trying to uphold some sense of justice immediately get the hammer.

I hate people so much.

"But we'll still give him whatever he wants. That AIPAC there frightens me"

Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging!

I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below.

Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US.

From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.”

For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …

Back in my day a weird yell was enough to kill your run.

Just a yeeaaoowww and you're done. Now, if you're Trump and you are literally strangling someone to the point that they make that sound, you're presidential material because "that person getting choked was probably a democrat pedophile communist so he deserves it."
