For the fascist right wing, the fact that trump hasn't taken control of the blue states using military force IS the crisis. The days of the "small government, live-and-let-live" right are long gone.

Or the keyboard covers the attachment buttons and letter count, so I have to minimise it, then go back into the text to get them back. Or scrolling becomes jerky until I force quit the app abd reopen it. And we still don't have an edit function... On the other hand, it isn't X, so there's that....

The research also says secondary school students needs to sleep later and should start at 10am instead of 8. The school I worked for, that boasted similar belief in "the research", weren't going to accept that change.

By the time Dems get full control of the government back, they will have no appetite for revenge or true justice, preferring to "bring the country together" by appeasing the right. There needs to be a mass purge and jailing, or it will happen again.

Trepang 2 has a lot of the same feel and play style as F.E.A.R, just not the story line. Worth playing as a stop gap.

A recent study also suggests catching covid can wipe out the immune system's memory, making you susceptible to infections you would previously have fought off, perhaps without even knowing you had it. This would explain the rise in other infections post covid. This is unscientific madness.

If you do withhold it, maybe you can put it towards public housing for the homeless, instead of your current policies. You may be the Dems best troll against trump, but you are still a centrist, capitalist PoS.

If we chased compliance when taxing the rich with the same gusto we go after the small number of actual welfare frauds, we could afford to forget about the small number of actual welfare frauds, solve Medicare funding, and actually build low income housing.

You have the guns now, and fascists have taken over your government, and the people who used to scream loudest about requiring the second amendment to fight tyranny are cheering the fascists on. The guns haven't done anything but kill innocent people in the last 200 years.

Not American, Australian. I am pointing out the hypocrisy of the far right 2nd amendment crowd, who are the cause of tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths every year to preserve the right to fight tyranny, the support it when it finally appears.

Not the best candidate for President, but certainly the man for this moment, if only because no one else will put their hand up. The democrats have shown what they are made of during the tyrannical take over of America, and it is pitiable and worthless. Now is the time for a viable third party.

If this had been any other president, history probably would have recorded this as a bizarre and unprecedented event. Under this presidency it is just another day, and the avalanche of shit that fills the news cycle will bury it quickly. I am not sure that her pardon will pass so quietly.

For me, any horror that starts with "Based on a true story" better be solidly grounded, and possession films don't have a leg to stand on. It is also why I hate The Conjuring universe of films.

Republican's refusal to deal with trump during his first term, and their lickspittle devotion to him ever since has made them look weak. MAGA is a personality cult. As a political movement it is devoted only to profiting the wealthy and hurting everyone else.

"Religious Police" - two words that should not be linked in this way. Neither is good on its own, together they are terrifying. Especially when you understand that they don't follow a written set of laws, but make arrests based on feelz.
