Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:

Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.

Looking to make someone laugh.

Self deprecation.

  • Asafum@feddit.nltopolitics @lemmy.world•White House accuses Powell of mismanaging Federal Reserve, citing headquarters renovation

    Your testimony raises serious questions about the project’s compliance with the National Capital Planning Act, which requires that projects like the Fed headquarters renovation be approved by the National Capital Planning Commission,” Vought wrote.

    “The plans for this project called for rooftop terrace gardens, VIP private dining rooms and elevators, water features, premium marble, and much more,” he wrote.

    But Powell, in his testimony, said, “There’s no VIP dining room. There’s no new marble. There are no special elevators. There are no new water features. There’s no beehives and there’s no roof terrace gardens,” Vought wrote.

    “Although minor deviations from approved plans may be inevitable, your testimony appears to reveal that the project is out of compliance with the approved plan with regard to major design elements,” Vought wrote.

    …ummmmmmmm, am I reading this correct?

    “You’re spending too much money! It says there are supposed to be all these crazy expensive things being built!”

    “There aren’t any of those cartoonishly expensive things being built”

    “Ah-HA! GOT YA! The plans say they NEED to have those cartoonishly expensive things! You’re out of line here!”

    …like wtf did I just read?

    -2, -3 something like that.

    Grew up poor, got yelled at for using a whole can of tuna for lunch kinda poor. Parents divorced when I was 2 so I never knew what it was like to have 2 people that cared about you in the house. My mother remarried 2 more times and we moved like every 3-4 years so I never developed long friendships, this has continued even as I’m independent throughout my life so I’ve never known stability. Both stepfathers wished I didn’t exist. The first was ok, had his own son with my mom that he treated like you’d expect but completely ignored myself and my older brother. The next guy wouldn’t use my name, it was “idiot” “moron” “jerk off” etc. naturally all that made me Totally The Most Confident Person Ever™©®

    I hate that I’m already depressed about what they’re going to do to him or NYC in general…

    I know nothing has happened yet and the election isn’t until November, but there isn’t a single goddamn thing about this country, especially with the so called leader we have now, that makes me think they will simply allow him to become Mayor. Socialists, Democratic socialists, whatever, simply aren’t allowed to hold real positions of power. The entire system is freaking out over the prospect… A single seat in Congress isn’t worth causing a mess over, but running “the financial center of the world” and a city that contains the richest people on earth definitely is to them…

    Ether Trump takes over NYC like he’s already threatened, they deport him, or the Democrats commit political suicide and get caught sabotaging his election. I have 0 faith that he simply wins and gets to be Mayor.
