So let me get this straight. We're going to turn churches and schools into fortresses rather than deal with the gun problem. Do I have that right? Did I have a stroke sometime around 2015?

That was the true meaning behind "America First". Isolationism is the game they're playing. Who wants to deal with this moron and his underhanded dealings? Trade deficit? Tariffs! Trade surplus? You guessed it, more tariffs! What will it take for the cult to see things as they are? It's wild.

Is this one of those situations where the court says they have to draw new maps, but they don't? Perhaps someone can remind me, I know there was at least one state where this happened and they just never complied and held elections using the illegal maps.

It was referencing internal help. We have Newsome, Pritzker, and one or two others, but no one as of yet has really taken charge and gathered/organized a concerted resistance effort. I think that's a big thing people are waiting on.

It's a weird balance. As fans, I know quite a few of us really enjoy the technical/engineering side of the sport, as we do with F1. However, the risks are so much greater in MotoGP and when things do go wrong, it's a huge detriment to the spectacle.

It's infuriating. It's been a huge factor in my non-fandom of Max. He's the greatest talent on the grid imo, but he's also a dirty driver that never gets held accountable to the same degree as his peers. It stinks of FOM knowing that he's one of the main draws to the sport and scared of alienating.

Was there ever any remote possibility he would? Max could drag Ocon out of his seat and strangle him in the middle of the pitlane and Ocon would get the 10s penalty. They handle Max with kid gloves.

Me: Applies for job in line w/ my experience/education Employer: Want to schedule an interview? Oh, that position you wanted just got filled, want to try for this completely unrelated position you have no experience in? Me: No, I'm completely green in that field Employer: Oh, well sorry. Deuces.✌️

Just get them back by ramming all the PS players off the road in Forza Horizon 5.

it's probably not a great thing seeing how many parallels there are between the US and Night City. Yay...Corporatocracy. #cyberpunk2077

Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried. It’s. All. Lies. All the time.

I think the FIA made a rule change a few weeks back that eased off on the naughty word ban. Likely thanks, in part, to the protest by the WRC lads.

"Apologies for the language".... Shut the fuck up. I get so tired of that. British broadcasters act like an expletive is somehow the worst thing that could ever happen on live television. #F1 #Puritanism #Antiquated

The standards by which 99.9% of politicians are judged is hilariously hypocritical when all standards have been dragged into the street, shot, burned, and buried in a landfill when discussing Donald "Two-Weeks" Trump. It's time to stop pretending that MSM journos are anything less than complicit.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken legislature? Our corrupt SCOTUS? Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

Great. Another thing that is going to kill me in a horrible way. Good thing I'm rich and able to afford high quality food! Oh wait, no, the opposite of that.

I think we already know the answer to this question. Banking on pressuring them through appeals to morality is a non-starter.

I'm sure they'll let him, too. Most of the SC Justices have shown no willingness to deny Trump anything at all. Checks & Balances are only as good as the people meant to uphold them, and currently, none of ours are up to the task. Our institutions are failing/have failed us. Dire times.

Sure am glad all these temporarily inconvenienced billionaires will be able to reap the rewards of what they voted for... Soon as they get back on their feet, that is. I'm sure losing their SNAP and Medicaid will be the impetus they needed to get back on the horse. #FUCKMAGA #FUCKTRUMP

What a world. What a country. What a fucking crock. America has abandoned every principle it was founded upon to the raucous applause of half the country, while the other half prepares for the fallout of shit that will trickle down on to their heads. Enshittification of an entire country.
