Yeah, King went through a rough patch that only got worse before it got better.

To be fair, he was drowning in cocaine when writing that book, so he managed to keep the lid on it to the best of his abilities.

politics @lemmy.world•Christian musician, who sang the national anthem for Trump at 2022 rally, is facing felony child pornography charges
121·10 days agoOf course it is. CP is a mandatory line item for a typical MAGA resume.
They got what they voted for.
Do whatever gets the job done. So many unnecessary hangups.
If she needed me to kill a chicken for her to get off, I’d ring that poor little bastard’s neck (the chicken’s, just to be clear.)

42·3 months agoStop calling it a ‘preshow’. It’s wall to wall ads with a couple of movie previews that spoil the plot, thrown in.

politics @lemmy.world•Barack Obama praises Texas Democrats as state legislature moves to end special session without passing new electoral maps
11·3 months agoCalm down. Appealing across the board gives you access to potential new voters. This has nothing to do with Cheney… You want millions of voters, not one vote.
The last election was a clusterfuck loss due to many father’s. Saying it was just down to Liz Cheney is ridiculous. You had a bumbling old President. A late switcheroo. A black female candidate. Not to mention a racist ex-president who has a knack for swooping up the lazy, the crazy and the disaffected. Cheney didn’t lose the election for the Dems. People just staying at home did.

Europe@feddit.org•Von der Leyen and Trump strike EU-US deal with 15% tariff for the blocEnglish
10·3 months agoSo true. Australia has a Free Trade Agreement with the US signed in 2011 (I think?). And, America enjoys a trade deficit with us. We buy more of your shit than you buy from us. Still, Trump hit us with a 10% tariff for some goddamn reason. We’ve paid about a billion dollars on a down payment for Virginia Class Submarines that we will never, ever see.
It will be about a century before the world will trust the US again.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump is “desperate” to make a deal—China isn’t, analysts say
8·6 months agoChina will definitely suffer, but it also doesn’t care. Public opinion supporting its actions are not a priority in China. Trump is starting to feel the bite his stupidity has taken him. Not sure if he understands completely, but he’s getting an idea that he’ll wear the blame. Not from the Maga, but from everyone else.
