I dunno, it seems not ideal that the already-very rich are becoming even richer by helping a company siphon money away from people with gambling problems.

President Biden tried with the BEAD Program, to provide fiber internet to rural communities. Since it wasn’t implemented fast enough, and MVP lost the election, the money was taken away and given to Starlink. The problem is still a problem and Starlink is expensive and unreliable. Voting matters.

He was two heartbeats from the Presidency for 8 years. He shepherded all of GWBush's destructive legislation through the House. And repeatedly said his experience as a high school coach, when he sexually assaulted children, guided his politics.

This one goes out to Dennis Hastert. Dennis was a filthy disgusting pedo and the longest-ever Republican Speaker of the House. He was also the highest-ranking United States official to serve jail time. Good riddance, creep.

It never fails. The men who talk about a manly Jesus, high T counts, whatever -- they always look like this. They feel that they cannot compete through ordinary means so they establish elaborate fantasies to compensate for what they lack.

The regime’s utter contempt for voters’ economic woes (Vice President JD Vance lectures them to stop worrying about “little things”) leads Trump and his flunkies to make ever-more cringeworthy comments that, if anything, will only infuriate voters.

A lot of the time the school nurse just gives you a cracker and lets you lie down for a while. I broke my wrist at school and the best they could do was a bag of ice. Not faulting them, but the truth is the ridiculous rumors about teachers and school nurses doing surgery are ludicrous.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Imagine if Joe Biden had incoherently rambled about such irrelevancy at that famous debate in Atlanta. But, then again, everyone was expecting Biden to speak with carlity, intelligence, and authority. Donald isn't burdened with such expectations.

It's also interesting that in the looksmaxxing world, dressing well isn't part of the discourse. I know an extremely average looking man who is an impeccable dresser and is never short of female companions.

Just saw a comment elsewhere that one of the amazing things about the LOTR films is their depiction of positive masculinity. The men hug, the talk about what the mean to each other, they cry. Oh and they defeat an army of the baddest villians ever. You can have both.

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

Texans should expect The Reunification of The Paxtons, a biblical rejoining of Ken & wife Angela. The loving and doting Mrs Paxton had previously filed for divorce on religious grounds, but now sees Ken as a perfectly moral man suitable to lead an entire state of Americans. Congrats, Angela!
