jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Tom clearly did not grow up in the South. 000
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 10/10/2026The absolute first place any successful society should invest money is in the education of children from disadvantaged situations/backgrounds. 040
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Michael Dell's wife. Or what's left of his wife. 220
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 09/10/2026He is SO BAD at all of this. I hope he's the nominee. 000
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The Right is so far right now that the center-right is now center-left. 000
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The FBI recently said Iran was or planned to target CA cities. That's likely why. 110
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026NPR had interviews with some Mainers a couple days ago and hoo boy were they dumb. 010
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026God, he is terrible at this. So, so terrible. 000
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Um, and some lingering deep-seated racism. 010
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026lol Gaslight me all you like, but I am very aware of pizzas that used to be under $8 now being $10, frozen meals my wife eats going from $5.99 to $7.19, meat that used to be $5.99/lb now being $7.99/lb, canned vegetables increasing 10%, etc. 000
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It really is that simple. He isn't going to listen to you though. 000
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The FBI recently warned that CA cities could be/would be targeted by Iran. It is easy to understood why he named CA cities. 000
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Ah, yes, the "vague blurry memories" of grocery shopping every week for years, buying a lot of the same items regularly, and noticing the price increases... 110
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026No, I loathe the guy. But like it or not, what he was saying was that high gas prices are a small price to pay when compared with a major city being attacked/nuked. You can think differently all you like, but that's what he was saying. 100
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Actually, yes, the FBI recently warned about attacks in CA. For whatever that's worth. 120
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026They are. Everyone pays the same up to the cap. Everyone gets the same benefits up to the cap. 010
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 07/10/2026No, he didn't. He was implying that if cities were attacked, it would be far more costly than just higher gas prices. I fucking hate the guy, but it was pretty clear to me what he was saying. 010
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Define it however fills the gap. Your middle class couple making $250k will fill an insignificant portion of it. 000
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Tax the very wealthy more. Don't tax the middle class more. Simple pitch. 100
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Taxes are capped at a certain amount. Benefits are also capped at a certain amount. People just leave out the latter fact. 010
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 07/10/2026That's a meaningful tax increase for middle class folks. As long as you're okay with that. 110
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Benefits are also capped, so the rules are already the same for everybody. 110
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Benefits are also capped, that's why. 010
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Benefits are also capped, so it does make sense. 100
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 07/10/2026They don't know how the system works and the people who post these things know they're being misleading. 000
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Would you still cap benefits without capping contributions? Because otherwise that's a significant tax increase for middle class people. 110
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The benefits for both are also the same. That's why it isn't messed up. The whole system is capped. 120
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It really is what he said and it makes way more sense than thinking he said "High gas prices are a small price to pay. Also, hope they blow up LA." 010
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I loathe the man, but I'm pretty sure he was saying "This is a very small price to pay to keep the world safe", meaning "to prevent them from taking out a city". He wasn't calling for one to be destroyed. 320
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Based on the interviews NPR aired this morning, the people of Maine are seriously fucking dumb. 010
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Don't kid yourself. South Carolina is as stupid as it gets. 000
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 06/10/2026For all his faults, I totally agree with you that he was being sincere. 080
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I loathe the man, but I'm pretty sure he was saying "This is a very small price to pay to keep the world safe", meaning "to prevent them from taking out a city". He wasn't calling for one to be destroyed. 000
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It's pretty clear to me that that's what he meant. That's all I can tell you. 000
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'll make it clearer: "This is a small price to pay to keep the country safe. Let them take out Los Angeles or San Diego and see how much that costs. This is a small price to pay to keep that from happening." He's a moron but that's what he was trying to say. 110
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I loathe the man, but I'm pretty sure he was saying "This is a very small price to pay to keep the world safe", meaning "to prevent them from taking out a city". He wasn't calling for one to be destroyed. 000
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I loathe the man as much as the rest of you, but I'm pretty sure he was saying "This is a very small price to pay to keep the world safe", meaning "to prevent them from taking out a city". He wasn't calling for one to be destroyed. Watch the actual clip. 120
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I guess. It didn't seem unclear to me and freaking out about it just makes them look hysterical. 110
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I loathe the man, but I'm pretty sure he was saying "This is a very small price to pay to keep the world safe", meaning "to prevent them from taking out a city". He wasn't calling for one to be destroyed. The people cheering, on the other hand... 000
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I loathe the man, but I'm petty sure he was saying "This is a very small price to pay to keep the world safe", meaning "to prevent them from taking out a city". He wasn't calling for one to be destroyed. 110
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Ok but Georgia has a higher population than LA county. 100
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 02/10/2026They talk a big game and that's about it. 0180
jasonlassiter.bsky.social @jasonlassiter.bsky.social · 01/10/2026"the agency planned to reduce the number of "exemptions, special conditions, and equivalent level of safety findings required during the certification process."" That's odd because the onus in those cases is on the manufacturers, not the FAA. 000
