Mark Cuban is all over the place discussing and explaining what he refers to as Trump’s idiocy regarding economics.

Further taxing the shrinking middle class to cover the unpaid taxes of the rich. Sounds grand.

Why would I need sleep, when I got Lemmy.

Why would someone be asleep at 4 PM?

Lol, it's not 4pm everywhere, champ.

Also, this guy is non-stop posting.

It's not 4pm anywhere in the US.

I was on your side dude, calm down.

It's not a terrible bet that someone posting a US news source to a US politics forum would be in the US. So saying it's 4pm in Europe isn't overly relevant.

My bad. Seems I can't read.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 days ago

What if the answer is no, what will you do?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's 4 PM here - the entire world doesn't run on US timezones and insomnia is a thing.

Well, no shit no one said otherwise. You were wrong, and it's okay. I was just pointing out that this user has been posting non-stop since it was created. It had nothing to do with the actual time, champ.

"Someone other than Sean Hamface or Trump said it so obviously it's fake news!! If Sean Hamface said it then he's a secret liberal!! If Trump said it then it's a Good Thing!™ I don't need money anyway, Trump needs it to Save America!™©®"

Edit: you know, I misread the headline... They are hiding it? Fun fun fun fun...
