Opinions my own… Boy, do I have some. Some are actually valid.

Oh, and feel free to ignore me and move along. It’ll trouble me none.

    We have been communicating on the lack of funds in the Foundation for a while now, the latest being here. And whilst we’ve been working hard to gather new members and are happy to see the number of logos increasing (thank you all for seeing the need for Matrix to stay independent and safe, and the value in supporting it!), none of the big players in the ecosystem have actually committed to one of the higher membership tiers, so we need to find other ways towards sustainability.

    🤔

    Sounds like that business plan isn’t working out like you hoped…

    And/Or not enough users care to use your product.

  • LupusBlackfur@lemmy.worldtopolitics @lemmy.world•Trump 'Doesn't Speak With Precision,' Justice Department Tells Judge

    Jonathan Guynn, a Justice Department attorney, responded: “President Trump is a master messenger in many ways, but he also doesn’t speak with precision about things sometimes. And I think that this might be one of those situations where perhaps his comments were based on what he was recalling may have been the state of play previously.”

    Xinis was not convinced. “Isn’t it basic, isn’t it black letter law that the Executive Branch must speak with one voice?” she asked.

    “Right now, the administration is not speaking with one voice, and I’m not here to credit one versus the other,” she added. “If I can’t get that one voice — and you don’t give me details […] I don’t know what to do with that.

    Later on, Guynn said, “I can’t even necessarily comment on some of the statements that President Trump has made.”

    Sorry, fucking wut??? The comments of the actual President (sic) of the US are not reflective of the “government’s” actual position…???

    😂 🤣 😂 🤣

    Then WTAF is he even there for? Why conducting “interviews” (phone or in-person) with foreign leaders? Why speaking to the press “formally”? Why conducting “government” business with “authority” of (what’s left) of the Executive Branch?

    FFS. The mental gyrations these MAGAts go through to get what they want are so fantastical and convoluted as to be entirely unfathomable. Not surprising, given their untenable position(s). But certainly unfathomable.

    ( and, yes, I know he truly doesn’t “speak with precision”, he’s a rambling idiotic buffoon, but that reality is being used purely to the MAGAts own benefit here and that is utterly and completely unconcionable )

    🤦‍♀️ 🙄 🤡 🖕 💩
