I have no desire to go to his funeral, so there’s no concern of that happening. Besides, his funeral is for his family, not for him. Had I ever the chance to tell him to his face when he lived that he was a horrific piece of shit human being, I would have. My path through life does not typically lead me to such…

He earned his Purple Heart a hundred times over. A soldier worthy of respect and admiration.

While your statement is mostly right, I’m not sure 80% of America’s population is rural...

oh jeez this is so sad alexa play the 1812 overture by Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky

In other California Dem news, up here in Orange County, Katie Porter is running against Mimi Walters.

I had a dumbfuck ultra rich wealth fund manager tell me yesterday that I’d still feel broke, and be broke, and be helpless even if I was making a $150k a year. He told me to my face that I wouldn’t have the willpower to to continue to live within my means - happily - and that I’d spend all of it and be just as broke…

Read what I said again. O’Rourke’s campaign is. Obama’s merely had a huge amount of them. Hell, in 2012 Obama had more in grass roots funds alone than Romney had period. Over half of his entire campaign funds came from donations under $200 or less.

Thing is... they don’t need to. They should’ve learned that from how many small-scale donations contributed to the Obama campaign, and you can see it elsewhere, too.

The moon is also a FAR better place to drag an asteroid for mining into orbit than Earth, for reasons that are adjacent to low-gravity manufacturing.

This video got me to donate to his campaign from out of state. Even if Cruz still somehow wins, this guy has a serious political future ahead of him. To clarify, this question is posed to him by someone that opposes kneeling NFL players.

Basically me all day today:

Nah. The ones jumping ship right now are jettisoning their political careers to go make money as lobbyists. I don’t believe for a single second that these fuckwits are playing some kind of bizarre 3D chess with an outlook planned multiple presidencies into the future. They can barely even agree on passing shit over…

I know you got no end of folks saying ‘ah but he wasn’t finished before!’, but seriously: this is how Nixon went down. The counsel flipped, and that was it. It took a long time for the foundations to actually collapse, but it was inevitable at that point. Nothing short of a brain hemorrhage is likely to ‘quickly’…

Please do note that the Rasmussen polls are notoriously garbage outliers, frequently. Try not to put too much stock in them, it’s Trump’s favorite poll, which should tell you something.

‘To hold someone accountable today for something they did or said years ago sets a bad precedent.’

I somehow doubt that Metal Gear was a cost efficient weapons platform, honestly.

Never really implied that billionaires steal their money, only that our tax, banking and financial system is literally set up such that when a billionaire exists it becomes very easy for ‘huge amounts of wealth’ to become ‘insane amounts of wealth.’ Our financial system is pretty much designed to snowball and…

I misspoke (I used the wrong gas, it’s not butane), but as the article itself points out, this is literally just a branded propane torch. Propane torches aren’t toys either, but they’re also not considered flamethrowers.

I’d consider the mental illness aspect of homelessness another reason why simply giving all individuals a big chunk of cash wouldn’t solve it for all of them either - some would lose it almost immediately due to gambling addiction, others would lose it all in medical or other debts, still more wouldn’t even know what…
