I hate that the answer to everything really is taking away rich people's money so they don't have it to spend on stupid shit.

Love the energy, the plan for FEMA is bad, better to combine the rest of the plan with the legislation to make FEMA a cabinet level agency on its own.

Once you go down the Wikipedia rabbit hole, Obama isn't out of place at all, tbh. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malala are real outliers among the laureates. Otherwise, he's just on a list with Gore, Carter, Kissinger, Woodrow Wilson, and Teddy Roosevelt, which, sure 🤷

Teaching critical thinking, curiosity, empathy, compassion, and emotional self-regulation is possible and it should be an explicit goal of education. But we can't get people to agree that all children deserve an education at all, so it's an uphill battle

🤔 I personally wouldn't taunt the population known around the world for their guns and tank-like cars with that kind of talk, but I suppose he's feeling confident.

He and Gavin are leading for the absolute worst the party has to offer in the primaries, a very competitive race

I had an elderly male cat I wish I were still cleaning up after, and I used a Hoover CleanSlate XL precisely because I tried my sister's Bissell and I found it inadequate.

I think that's mostly because Chinese EVs aren't available in the US market, they'd crush the competition real fast

Even if you could magically pick the right 27%, it wouldn't work. You need to force 100% of all residents to vote and have them proportionally represented. Would still have 27% of irredeemable assholes represented but they'd always be in the minority.

The Antichrist uber fan should never be off the hook for any of the shit he's done, including murdering his side piece (allegedly) and I think anyone who contemplates making peace with him should be regarded as an ally to fascism.

He didn't even interview her, merely relied on a campus police report, it sounds like he's complicit with the university. And he would be, the big employer in that town, "let's not give Cornell a bad reputation they handled it"

The lawyer is described as young later in the thread, so I'll take "major local lawyer" with a grain of salt. I will take the brother is a violent asshole so fuck him as a reason though. Lawyers are still very much people.

They could've been all "don't let your musical tastes get frozen at 32, good music you might like keeps being made even as you age", which would've been completely valid, but they didn't even say that.

I have a vague notion that established party leadership is vaguely hostile to the two big Latino groups aligned with the Democrats (Mexican and Puerto Rican origin) because they keep often choose left challengers when left to their own devices (eg. Bernie, AOC) and they have nowhere to go

On the one hand, Washington is probably carrying communicable diseases that would kill me. On the other hand, OJ Simpson makes very poor choices. I guess I'll take the smallpox, he seems like he might be able to figure out how to get out of the woods by finding the river or something 🤔

And it doesn't stop being true when you get out of your car. We would all be so much better off if we didn't have to pay for gas and repairs, could read during our commutes, and not have to stress out ever again over the other assholes on the road.

It's just so wild to me, as someone who is mostly a driver but would like to be a pedestrian and tram commuter, that drivers are sensitive about criticism. Drivers suck and driving ducks. It's obviously true when you're fuming in your stupid car in traffic while some dick drives on the safety lane.

"Everything costs twice as much because Trump started a stupid tariff war and a stupid real war in Iran. Republicans won't stop him. Vote for me, and we will stop both of these dumb wars! Wars and taxes are Congress' job." (I will never be able to make a cushy living as a political consultant 🫤)
