And I asked him, I said to him, and noone had asked him that question, I asked him, and he said noone had ever asked him, I said to him, would you stay on the boat, the boat is sinking, so the boat is under water, but there's a shark, but the boat is sinking, and there is a battery, so I asked him, and noone had ever asked him, I asked him, would you stay on the boat, the boat that is under water, and there is a battery, so there is electric, I asked him, and there is a shark, I asked him, and he said nobody had ever asked him, I asked him do you jump off the boat? The boats underwater, but there's a boat, and there is electricity, but there's a shark, so I asked him, and he said he had never been asked this before, I asked him, do you jump off the boat that is now under water? Do you stay on the?... Do you stay in the boat and get eaten by the shark? Because the boat is under... do you stay on the boat, that's under water, and get eaten by the shark? Or do you get electrocuted?
He said he didn't know. He said noone had ever asked him that.
That's enough about the boat.
-Based on a real speech Trump gave at a rally that resulted in everyone leaving early.
Using kbin.social and kbin.earth simultaneously while Ernest works out his health issues/figures out how to grow his team to cover while he focuses on his health.
I definitely prefer kbin.social, but it is definitely suffering while the captain is addressing other matters.
Going to second this. It hit critical mass of users where the all feed isn't just one person's special interests just after the thread a few months back and it's like i never moved.
Here’s the transcript. It’s a rant against electric boats.
(43:33) So I said, “Let me ask you a question.”
(43:35) And he said, “Nobody ever asked this question, and it must be because of MIT, my relationship to MIT,” very smart.
(43:43) I say, “What would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery’s underwater, and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?”
(43:58) By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately. Do you notice that? A lot of shark… I watched some guys justifying it today. “Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were not hungry, but they misunderstood who she was.” These people are crazy.
(44:14) He said, “There’s no problem with sharks. They just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming now who really got decimated and other people too,” a lot of shark attacks.
(44:22) So I said, “So there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards or here. Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, and water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?” Because I will tell you he didn’t know the answer.
(44:42) He said, “Nobody’s ever asked me that question.”
(44:45) I said, “I think it’s a good question. I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water.” But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark.
There are many clips from news shows and reaction videos on this, but I really don’t think anyone needs a funny person to explain it and editing only makes it appear out of context.
His speech is perfectly idiotic without any editing or explanation.
This is the uncut speech with a timestamp to the boat thing.
The dumb ones will. The smart ones know that demagoguery and authoritarianism can impact trade and currency valuation, and investing in them is a great way to lose a lot of money.
Yet, he will happily carve out ginormous advantages for his big backers. So they don’t give a shit if the castle falls as long as they can loot the treasury and get out first.
… the lion’s share of confirmed contributions from the biggest political givers—the top 100 families—have flowed to Republican candidates and groups.
In the “hard money” category—direct donations to candidates, which federal law caps at modest sums—Republicans took in 27 percent more from the Top 100 families than Democrats did ($85.9 million vs. $67.9 million).
But looking at all federal contributions, including “soft money,” a category that tallies the generous donations allowed to party committees and the unrestricted contributions to SuperPACs, Republicans raked in a whopping $508 million from the Top 100—triple the Democrats’ $169 million take.
I once asked my brain-rotted, antivax, “Trump is the second coming”, “I’m honest hand guy”* uncle how big a simp you have to be, to pay a billionaire’s legal fees. When he was out visiting my parents.
He stopped talking talking to me- Actively avoided me, and never brought up politics again.
(* he acts like he’s some important dude, that he talks with Trump and leads his campaign from his home state. He knocked on some doors and got shot at. Trump doesn’t know he exists and doesn’t care either.)
