Hm, that's a new scam -- someone sent me a text trying to convince me a direct deposit to my credit union failed and wanting me to click on their sketchy link.
By "new" I mean I've not seen that particular approach used with that bank before.
I got an odd text from my credit union a while ago with a sketchy link in it. I called their fraud tipline, and got some third party dude who didn't know anything about it. I'm not feeling very secure about online purchases or even internet banking on the whole. The only thing I've really been able to do to minimize my risk is I've refused to do any banking at all through my phone.
I was reading an article the other day that said sooner or later scammers are going to glom onto AI to make *much* more convincing scam emails and the like than they are now.
I think we need to not always call the magachuds and republican'ts and especially super rich not only weird but also parasites. We need to rub the parasites trope in their faces every opportunity we get. Why? Because it's the absolute to the face of dog truth. Make them cry with it.
Ha, after my SIL's mastectomy, she asked of I wanted pictures. Sure, I find medical stuff interesting. A few minutes later I see a text from her and decide to wait until lunch.
By lunch I had forgotten what she was supposed to send and checked my messages. 😅😫
Yikes. There used to be a cable medical channel or something where they showed surgeries. I happened upon a prostate surgery. I lost about six pounds that week.
Ya know, I saw a thing where Russia order some circuit boards from a Chinese company and they got blocks of wood with photos of circuit boards glued on.
you know, assuming this goes like all Trump enterprises- high grift on the front end and a failure to deliver a single promise as it goes- this might actually shave a few MAGAts from their adulation.
Ain't nothing americans will put up with less than a phone/phone service that prevents them from obsessively checking their social media
For $499 I want to know how the fuck it's going to be manufactured in the US and have high quality. And Trump is only making it harder to make that stuff in the US. They are going to need skilled slave labor to make those things. Do we have enough skilled slave labor in the US?
Well, I suppose it can't hallucinate worse than Secretary DUI ...

hey but it will save them from having to pay those pesky contractors with things like paid leave and a working wage like congress finally demanded 20 years ago!
Third session of day one of Bangla and the Lankans, evenly poised at 203 - 3. Bangla batting and looking to accelerate after tea, the Lankans are trying to tie them down with spin.
Cakes, scones and sandwiches, the second meal break of the game. Currently mid-session drinks are being taken. Galle is a lovely ground, one boundary is the ramparts of the old fort.
Thanks, great article! I’m not a New Yorker, but this guy has some really good ideas…maybe we all should pay attention! ☮️

wonder how many people with direct deposit will in panic click on that.
Probably lots of folks on SS, unfortunately.
God, how I hate the scammers so very very much
Especially the ones in the White House.

Dang, is it April Fools already? I don't even remember Christmas going by. PAB must've done something to shock me into a coma.
Yes, Empty Greene, they have . . . by Fox News.
Morning Garbageman.
....whut?
ohhhh, she is on OAN saying that
Well, if she's going to ONAN, there's no better place.
But she's on OAN, talking shit about Fox?
Are Republicans trying to say Fox is lying?
Ruppert made some mean sounds about Trump so they're trying to wean their faithful from his enterprises onto more reliably loyal ones?
Oh, that makes more sense
Matt Gaetz has a show XD
lol lol lol lol lol
ON OAN!!!!!
omg
Matt Gaetz has a show? What is it, "Pedo for Politicians?"
Be fair, you can show movies on his forehead.
"To Watch a Predator"
The Matt Gaetz Show!
He is so original and amazingly resilient XD An OAN show. They didn't even give him a cushy lobby job
This makes my toes tingle in lol
Ohhhh!! 3000 non-comments!
well, it IS an election day
All you virginians, if you haven't yet voted, polls are open!

I mean, really, when you think about it, ‘Trump smartphone’ is a contradiction in terms.

WEIRD PARASITES!
Morbidly Engorged Weird Parasites. And they are a sickly translucent icky white color pulsating rhythmically.
Just the appetite suppressant I need this morning. I've got a fasting blood draw and now I feel better about not being able to eat.
Glad to be of service!
Well, there goes breakfast.

Ain't no way it's American made.
Oh, goodie, another failed business venture we'll be able to add to the list!
Available in Hooker Pee Yellow or Flung Ketchup Red.
Ya know, I saw a thing where Russia order some circuit boards from a Chinese company and they got blocks of wood with photos of circuit boards glued on.
They really shouldn't buy computer parts on Facebook Marketplace
They'll buy some prepaid phones, paint them gold, and ship 'em out.
oh see I am betting they never get shipped. Much like those Trump sneakers. Were they ever shipped?
Anyway, the money is upfront and non-refundable so I am doubting they ever send them at all
It looks like it's made of Balsa wood.
Fine Two Corinthians balsa wood!
Pretty!
Your keyboard seems to be substituting P for S, r for h and e for i.
""unbeatable value"—costing $47.45 per month" My cellular bill averages $30 for 2 phones.
Well, these are the same morons who thought PAB's Blue Ribbon vanity parade was "worth it".

Have they worked out which Chinese $30 smartphone it is under the 'Made in the USA' gold paint?
You could just shop on AliExpress for one, I'm sure. And use trmup ScamCoin™ to pay for it!
If China really wants to fuck with him, they could just tell everyone which Chinese phone they are using and slapping a built in America sticker upon
Early user reviews: ‘text prediction seems broken. Every second word it predicts ‘bigly’. Also ‘very’ and ‘strongly’...
‘In fact, I think these may be the only words it actually knows.’
The ringtone is a soggy fart sound.
Lee Greenwood Libelz!
LOL
ok, a couple things here:
attempt to preorder the phone triggered a page load failure and charged its credit card the wrong amount.
Surprising! From the guy who had a donation page that went on charging people monthly and would not let them quit it, right?
Also, all that shit about "It may be revoked at any time and is not refundable!" is some shit
I hope all of the magachuds buy one. You know it's gonna be a limp dicked white elephant piece of shit that spies on anybody using it.
You assume they will actually receive something ...
Vaporware all the way.
likely to draw criticism.
Hol-ee fuck.
"Making money directly off being president, but it is likely to draw criticism"
Also, how many hands saying this phone is in no way made in America?
For $499 I want to know how the fuck it's going to be manufactured in the US and have high quality. And Trump is only making it harder to make that stuff in the US. They are going to need skilled slave labor to make those things. Do we have enough skilled slave labor in the US?
Apparently it is not "right now" being manufactured in the US.
Too hard to build an actual factory before launching your grift I guess
"Announce your grift and they will come. Then we build."
that's just smart business sense! Make the customers build your factory for you!
Yeah. Smart like Maxwell Smart.
All those illegal children in the Jade Helm camps, of course.
I'm in favor of raising an army of Matt Helms. After all, Matt Helm was created by a Hamilton.
The phones aren’t even currently being built in the US, Eric Trump suggested in an interview clip shared on Bluesky
Ah of course
wait wait wait wait
Report time? They are not being paid for the report writing? The actual fuck with that?
Overtime is great. MANDATORY overtime is a fucking workers violation and I am surprised their union has not been on this and the report time shit.
Cop unions aren't like other unions.
They're a protection racket.
I was being the sarcasms on that bit (confession)

I think the day will come when should anyone say or type the word ‘warfighting’ again, someone will punch them in the mouth.
Like it or not, that's what the military is supposed to do. Otherwise it would be called 'bringing Trump fresh nappies'.

enterprise domains? whut?
Where I work, those are acquisition areas. Comm, nav, surveillance. They're going to fuck up contracting by using AIs.
hey but it will save them from having to pay those pesky contractors with things like paid leave and a working wage like congress finally demanded 20 years ago!
Maybe AI can spot the difference between a terrorist gathering and a wedding.
residential apartment vs battlefield would be favorite also
"Big and very heavy force."
Trump talks like a six year old tweaker.
He's not talking particle physics again, is he?
Probably. Tomorrow he will be pining for a Nobel Prize in Physics like a common Pabs.
He must be talking about Meal Team Six. Have you seen those guys? They're really heavy ...
Maybe he means The Sixth Chair Force.

They weren't looking for a fifth force. They were looking for their car keys.
I'm inclined to wonder if that fifth force is just stooopitt force. Call it Dark Stupidity. And it's increasing.
Is Dark Stupidity the opposite of Dark Academia? If so, what are the decor elements? Fast food wrappers and a copy of Mein Kampf on the coffee table?
Well, I'm sure White Castle Lubricant Pucks are involved.
