Nah. Then they’d just be embarrassed they had been pushing a book with such a woke lefty agenda. Some might even learn that they can throw away most of that commie stuff in the later parts of the book, and just keep the juicy bits they liked in the first half about how men are in charge, and slavery is okay so long as you follows some rules. Oh, except Revelations. That part rocks, let’s keep that. In fact… Let’s make it happen. That would be so sick.

Shit, I’d do that job for minimum wage, if only to see Musk fired.

Sure, but that quote calls it a “virus” but the headline says “fungus”.

Debt strike!

Debt strike!

Debt strike!

I, for one, thought this was a reasonable take.

What else do people expect you to comment? Like…

Neat.

Or…

Thoughts and prayers for the driver and his family.

What discussion can a post like this garner except speculation? And to preface your speculation with an acknowledgement that the story has no real details… seems fair to me.

Which explains why it was standard procedure for presidents to put their money in a blind trust. And why Trump didn’t.

The population of NYC is 8 million, and they had fewer than 1M votes for mayor? That, like, 12.5%.

Even if you limit it to just citizen population, I found that number to be 6-7 million. Thats still only a 14-16% voter turnout.

The fuck?

I had never heard that before, and that now my truth. It makes so much sense.

The previous conviction was overturned on a procedural issue, like a mistrial. He wasn’t pardoned or found not guilty, so it isn’t double jeopardy. It’s just a “redo” to make sure another jury would still convict without the procedural issue.

the [worst] Democrat [is] better than the best Republican

That’s generally true, but not in the hypothetical. I’d honestly vote for Mitt Romney before I’d vote for hypothetical Democrat-Ticket Trump.

It’s called “Whattaboutism” and it’s straight from Russia’s playbook.

See, we all thought that.

Turns out the problem wasn’t that they committed genocide. It’s that the genocide was directed at the Jewish people.

And as Netanyahu would have you believe, if you’re against Israel, you’re against the Jewish people. So that makes you a Nazi.

Flawless logic, clearly.

At this point I can only understand it if I know who’s saying it.

That is the most frustrating thing about discussion these days. Everyone using the same words but speaking an entirely different language.

When you don’t agree on the definitions of words anymore, or you don’t hold yourself to using them in good faith, then you take discussion off the table. You’re no longer debating; now you are just arguing. It’s one step away from violence.

There are no bad dogs. Only bad dog owners.

If you think growing up in a conservative household guarantees a kid becomes conservative, you didn’t grow up in a conservative household.

Billionaires now control 1 out of every 25 dollars of American wealth.

1/25=4%

According to Google, there are 735 billionaires in the US, and the US population is 336,269,260. That makes Billionaires about 0.000002% of the population.

And they control 4% of the wealth. (And that’s probably not counting money they have hidden and sheltered.)

For reference, 4% of the population would be 13,450,770.

So 735 people have as much wealth as would be held by about 13.5 million people, if all wealth was distributed evenly. So each billionaire would be worth about 18,000 people.

But, it’s even worse in our current distribution:

Due to this influx to the very top, these 800 individuals now collectively control 1.5 times more wealth than the entire bottom 50 percent of American households, who share $3.7 trillion between 65 million households.

And, since money is free speech, that means these 735 billionaires have 1.5 times the voice of 65 million people, the majority of Americans, combined.

We’ve gone full oligarchy.

Yeah, as a leftist who likes guns for fun, survival, self defense, and theoretical political unrest… I still think it’s ridiculous we don’t have gun licenses in the US. Or a gun ownership registry.

Bans restrict freedom for everyone.

License and registration lets you maintain that freedom for most, but still restrict it where necessary (e.g. crime, mental health), and more easily track and punish those who misuse firearms.

Nah, I think that’s Mason Verger.

Eww! No I don’t! Take it back!

Prediction: Starbucks resolves the issue by raising all “milk” product prices to match the most expensive option.
