I agree to an extent. I think we should start by forgiving everyone’s federal student loan debt because that’s good for the economy. It’s hundreds of dollars a month that can (and will) be spent on literally anything else.

The idiot ended up hitting people with a 2+ tonne metal object whilst trying to harm them in a different manner. I don’t see why charging this person is at all a question.

Maybe they did, told them what the fees were including the airport taxes... and the owner decided to not come back for it. These lots aren’t that cheap. Two years of charges is quite a sum.

Fuck you Kinja. So if someone replies to your post but they are in the greys, it seems like there is literally NO way to view or reply to that comment? I know the notification links have BEEN broken, but I get a notification that a greyed commenter replied to me, I can read half their comment in my notifications, but…

Because most of us understand that you cannot overthrow the government without the full cooperation of the military and support from the majority of the population. Because how else are you going to tamp down the inevitable resistance movement that forms after such a government overthrow?

I was with you until: “It’s almost like farming out space exploration to private companies isn’t a great idea!”

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve worked in automation for nearly 20 years and Level 5 is laughably far off. It’s the flying car of the 50's/60's/70's/80's/90's/00's/10's/20's - always “just 5 years away”. No it isn’t. But there’s always the perpetual (and incredibly uneducated on the subject) optimists.

I think if there was an attempted sexual assault there would have been an arrest. That this supposed narrative evaporated the moment police showed up indicates it’s complete bullshit. “Trying to intimidate a suspected rapist out of your neighborhood” also smacks of bullshit.

Can someone clarify this? I’m confused as to the chain of events..

Articles like this remind me what a blessed state we are in to not be assaulted by his face, voice, and tweets, daily. I’m enjoying the reprieve, mightily.

I once heard a speech by Thad Allen, former Commandant of the Coast Guard.

There is no “Royal Blood”. You’ve got A, AB, B and O. Anything else is an affectation.

He’s got a great voice, too bad we couldn’t hear it.

Hey, if I could find a 12-room house for only $300k, I’d definitely buy it even if I was the only occupant.

The real dangerr is not Trump’s incompetent version of an attempted coup, it is when the competent fascist inevitably follows in his footsteps. If you crush the incompetent fascists quickly, the competent ones always scuttle out of the darkness and learn from the mistakes made. That is the danger, and it is one not…

the reason this won’t happen is that most of the soldiers aren’t falangist dogs

You are underestimating the immense propensity for the GOP to cheat, lie and bullshit the electorate to continue pushing an agenda they cannot sell on its own merits and that the majority of voters do not want

Remember when we thought this would be over by summer? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Trump’s not trying to win over more voters because the plan is to invalidate the results of the election and try to steal it.  And his performance during the debate is exactly what his base wants to see.

Husband and I are living in Australia. We had our ballots emailed them to us on 19 Sept, and Fedexed them back on 21 Sept. $80 well spent.
