Like that time the Grand Nagus was "fixed" by the Prophets and rewrote the Rules of Acquisition. 😂 "If they want their money back, give it to them." "Never place profit before friendship." "Money can never replace dignity." "Latinum tarnishes, but family is forever."
Only place I've tried that gun is in Fallout New Vegas
Agree strongly on the second point. Refusal to seat is possible. Though if the number of seats is large enough, or trump drops another five in popularity, that becomes more and more difficult.
I have no shame when I say...
Yeah, I don't know what, but we are in "something is definitely going on." Territory.
I think on a deeper level MAGA voters and Trump engage in a kind of mutual roleplay/hallucination. Not just lying either, I mean in D&D campaigns and entertainment, retcons can work for various reasons. Attempting to retcon reality, particularly what happened just five years ago is insane.
Because a lot of private sector unions are filled with white guys with no college education. Next Question?
That would fit available evidence. Or whatever is happening has made it impossible to hide the physical deterioration.
Barely is the correct term. Remember Trump and his enablers know their core voters are contemptible morons. To they point where they can't imagine white Democrats caring about non-whites. (Thus the use of woke as an insult). They hate almost everyone.
He's only allowing distant photos from a side angle too. Something's up.
GIVE EM HELL DR. KELLY!
She is good. He is evil. we who voted for her don't deserve this.
Also, this country could make amazing high speed rail if it wanted. We just lack the will.
A colloquial Swedish word for giving a confident answer to something you know nothing about is killgissa, or “guy-guessing.” Conversely, the lesser-known word tjejveta (meaning “girl-knowing”) can describe elucidating (shelucidating?) on a topic you have expertise in.
Not to mention the indications we have right now is that there is enormous economic pain on the way, hitting rural areas the hardest.
This would be a better story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPlO...
Life is so much easier when you just make stuff up, isn't it? (Talking about the chud in the picture)
Legit question here, I don't see how SCOTUS can do anything but come up with a specific Calvinball way of making Trump's tariffs be allowed. Tariffs and Racism are his two core ruling principles. The electoral consequences would probably be worse than a Great Depression II.
And this is where Trumpism overlaps with Leftism. The shit birds running the country right now are, again, mad that they can't find the magic button.
When u believe the government has magical powers and politicians just aren't saying the right words to unlock permanent leftist utopia, you do tend to have mysteriously broken understandings of administrative realities.
Okay, got it. Makes sense now.
I think this might be two different things. One group is "ALL IS LOST WE ARE DOOOOMED DOOOOOOOOMED" Another, Which the great Kahn of the plains is an example of, is saying Trump wants to do this. And I think that's accurate. But it would be terrible for Trump if he does.
Is there any way to determine how many of these people are bot/ops flooding the zone with nonsense? Some fraction of it just has to be.
Not to mention the four Senate seats won by Dems in states that voted for Trump. It wasn't split tickets, it was people who just voted for Trump and left the rest blank.
Boston and New York have a strange vibe between them. Like, they hate each other, sure, but in a like "IF ANYBODY ELSE MESSES WITH THEM I WILL CUT A BITCH!!!" kind of way.
As a benefit you may end up being able to just go to, say, California or the NE or Illinois for vaccine tourism. Which would make it easier. Shame about herd immunity though. Texas longs to make polio great again.
They remember, they just decided Biden was president in 2020 and it was all fake.
Honestly, I think in most cities there will be spontaneous celebrations. I plan to bang pots and pans and stuff.
Entirely possible he's in rapidly declining health. The photo released shows a ton of water retention. Worse than a week ago.
Oh no, been there, take care of them!
I want this so badly. Make the GOP go full "weekend and Bernie's please."
And I hope Eugene (or nearby) is treating you well. It's one of the nicer places in the state I think. Don't be shy to head to central Oregon too. Lots of awesome things to see there.
Everything is political to some degree, they deny that to exclude you.
Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:
Thanks! I know it's a nitpick, but there's a difference that matters there.
Asking because we need to clarify. Is it Congress gave away its power or Republicans gave away its power?
He's doing so much better than Newsome
Are vaccines safe? Let's ask this guy who sounds like a dying refrigerator compressor
Yup. Can 100% confirm. Rural whites are frequently intentionally ignorant. The "finding out" is just starting. Yes, I also have sympathy for those in the minority out there, but I've lived and work there too. It's a crap show.
My favorite part was when the army band played "Fortunate Son" at him. I suspect this won't go any better for Orange Man.
There's a small group of online liars who have claimed this, (usually some variation of, "I found Jesus and my mom kicked me out.) Then it all implodes when it's discovered it's not actually true. Example: Mom didn't kick out 20 year old because Jesus, it was meth)
Self-Reply: Yup. I think RFK is gone now.
I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
What is your source/coverage? Looking to share.
I *REALLY* want you to be right!
The question is will Trump's vizers (RFK? Miller?) be able to shove him back into compliance. My vote is yes, the senator will get back in line in less than a week.
Cassidy is doing this just to perform for his country-club set. Trump's vizers will pull him back in line in less than a week. Republican = Gutless Coward.
Zoloft checking in!
No. White people did not vote for their interests at all. I'm white and work among the rural whites. They really are racist dumb fucks who ignored every message. Stop rationalizing their hate. They aren't noble savages who can be reached. They. Are. Monsters.
I don’t want to hear shit about “the shooter was trans” from a media that has spent the last two decades painting every radicalized white male shooter as a lone wolf
In support I give you GORDON the best cat ever!
This. Is. What. Republicans. Are.
It’s a rule of politics: we expect nothing of republicans, so anything they do is fine. But democrats are supposed to be the good ones, so everything they do is wrong, and they’re responsible for everything done by anyone even vaguely associated with them.
So much agreement with this. WhY dOnT dEmOcRaTs Do SOMETHING!?!?!? Usually from someone who ignores every single message or decides that some rando leak to Rolling Stone or the Times is somehow the actual Democratic strategy.
Work at a school where they introduced an "AI backed" peer for students to talk to. Happily, as far as I know, nobody has used it.
100% Every right wing knucklehead is like this. Selfish, uncaring, immoral, monstrous.
It was *ALWAYS* projection.
I like what Newsom is doing. I like what Pritzker is doing. I like what Mamdani is doing. We need all hands on deck NOW. We can worry about the presidential race LATER. Once we secure its relevance.
It's not fucking hard. Do you understand trans issues? Who cares?!? Just respect what people tell you about themselves. It's again. Not. Fucking. Hard.
Hey! A bunch of people are still happy you are with us Betty. Don't borrow trouble and hug your family.
Tell me more. Not saying I agree, but I want to understand. A tax increase that is very unlikely to actually get passed in a potential future is worse than fascism now because?
I think it's about differing definitions but really in the end, it's more important that we recognize the current government of Israel is doing something evil. That everyone deserves better.
Well ... I don't think he will for much longer now.
me and my friends looking at the AI bubble
I for one, welcome our new Canadian overlords.
These rules only apply to Republicans.
What?
Agree, but also because shit is going to get super super real in the next 12 months.
He gets to be an ambassador to a nice easy country for this. That's all. But yeah, it's appreciated.
At this point, pretty clear who they are actually working for.
He's a POS in many ways, but if he's gonna fight the bad guys, he gets credit. Find a nice cushy job for him in the next President's cabinet.
Yeah, I'm not worried about the midterms. I'm worried about what the Republicans will do when they lose forty seats and go to an unmoored-from-reality court system.
QUICK, EVERYONE MAKE SIGNS CRITICIZING OR MOCKING ICE SO THEY SPEND TIME TAKING DOWN SIGNS THAT HURT THEIR FEELINGS INSTEAD OF ARRESTING 9 YEAR OLDS ON THEIR WAY TO CHEMO TREATMENTS! What a bunch of snowflakes…
I think Trump just showed how shallow and racist the whole edifice was under the patina of false values. A few of them turned out to believe in something, but not many.
Not to mention the reverse is simply untrue. Most city-dwellers simply don't think about the rural folk much at all. Liberal politics simply doesn't have the cultural stranglehold on urban areas the way conservatism just is the basic identity for small towns and rural areas.
Yeah, seen comments that are basically "The next president needs to find a way to appropriately reward his work at the moment, but nobody should vote for him in the primary."
Almost always yes. Signing bonuses always have clauses about everything you would expect and involve contracts.
Fast block from someone. What was it?
Makes a lot of sense. Worse, if any national guard started paling around with DC residents it would get even more embarrassing.
"I think on some level, conservatives know perfectly well that liberal American cities are quite safe. That’s why they have to work themselves into such paroxysms of hysterical cowardice—to give themselves permission to inflict violence on the Americans they hate." prospect.org/justice/2025...
WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.
Spoiler: they won't. The fucking horseshoe socialists exist only to feel pure and to support Nazis.
You have been entertaining me since I was 12 (am 50 now). I'll accept you praise on anything.
Trump said he was going to Russia (instead of Alaska), and he may as well have done that. Putin just rolled all over him. The American people and Congress must stand strong for Ukraine against this humiliating appeasement.
Horseshoe theory combined with "only Democrats have agency"
Absolutely! There are even conservatives out there who are in fact decent people. But it's gone really downhill the last generation or so. The internet cooked minds out here far more than in the cities where people find it easier to touch grass.
"Liberals already ruined it" shows the plot here. These aren't impartial law enforcement officers protecting all citizens. They are partisan paramilitary militia, terrorizing domestic opponents.
And what you are doing is thinking that if only we talked to these people the "right way" or helped them meet their needs they will come around. They wont. The deep and abiding hatred of city people who "think they know better" is beyond reaching. This is an unreachable socialist pipe dream.
Right? Like it's fucking bizarre how much *WORSE* rurals have gotten in the last 25 years. Lots and lots of drug use too, and if daddy owns the car dealership or the three gas stations in town, you can do whatever you want and nobody lifts a finger.
I have lived and work in a rural setting. Rural white people are absolutely the problem. Moral degenerate pseudo-Christian fascists who view their time as a high school athlete as the highest point in their lives. Racist to the core and proud of it.
Thing is, he always looks weak and stupid on basically everything. His cult is hooked on a tiktok version of him that just isn't real.
“Putin would eat you for lunch.” Today, exactly that happened.
Ooh! Ooh! I get this as a HS teacher all the time! "The last 8 teachers I had were terrible and didn't do anything." I'm always number nine.
Honestly they are high on their own supply at the moment
The only "in line" they should be is with me, in line to vote.
Counterpoint: as a liberal, I'm probably not going to agree with Tom on a lot of things. But he lives on planet Earth and believes in democracy and that's what his former party has lost.
