Have you seen the kind of stuff he puts out? He doesn’t have the high ground. Figuratively. And physically. Cuz he’s a fucking shrimp and go fuck yourself.

Step 1: Visit Putin to finalize evil plan

You mean like the deficit exploding trillion dollar giveaway to the rich that was the Republican tax bill?

I haven’t heard her promise a single free thing...? I’ve heard her speak about how she would like to do these things, and how there are ways to get these things done, and how broad support will be necessary to get the ball rolling, but I have never heard her promise these things to anyone. Could you please link me…

Rugged individualism is hot garbage invented by rich, straight, white men to provide an origin myth for their power and success so that they don’t have to be faced with the truth that they arrived where they are by standing on the necks of people of color and women.

I hate the myth of rugged individualism because it makes people selfish and think people who are struggling are not trying hard enough. Not everyone has the same access to resources. Some places are closed to people. Honestly, working hard does not always mean you’re going to become a “success.”

The transporter tech depicted in fiction is a fantasy impossibility. It just makes *zero* sense from a practical technological aspect with what we currently know about science. More importantly, the amount of energy liberated in disassembling a human being and converting them into pure energy for transmission is…

The only fools were the captain and the boating company who still allowed business to happen that day. It’s unfair to assume that customers of any kind of tourism or activity like this, know anything about boating. Cause most times they don’t. They put all their trust in the captain to know what’s right.

Most people don’t have experience boating and don’t realize that boats aren’t immune to that type of weather, especially on a lake. It’s not every day that you hear about a large boat sinking in the middle of an American lake. And I’m not sure what you expected them to do once they’d already left the dock and the…

I think somehow a lot of people believe that tariffs are paid by somebody else in the supply chain; or that other countries as a whole are “paying” them.  If they were called taxes they’d be toxic to the supposed anti-tax crowd.  If they were called “make you pay more for stuff with no direct benefit to you” they’d…

Taxes are inherently good. They are a check on oligarchy, aristocracy, and power. The fact that, over the past 50 year’s taxes have gone down and income differentials have gone up is no coincidence, it’s causation.

>>Citizens United has wrecked American Democracy.<<

I find, you are well-matched. :)

This can’t have anything to do with the fact that in the US, dollars are first amendment ‘speech’ and corruption is baked directly into the political system. Right?

I locked myself inside my office building. I was brand-new to the job in a new city and knew no one. I wanted to bring in some stuff for my office on a Saturday when it was easier to park, and coworker said, “Oh, just make sure you have your badge! It’ll unlock the doors so you can get in and out.” No problem.

It seems ARTOC wants to kick VW in the Lower Saxony.

This isn’t dumb. I got locked inside a corporate garage in Germany. It was before cell phones could be used everywhere.

My guess? Yes. Their goal has always been to destabilize the west by any means necessary. Wreaking havoc on yourself (US) and your allies (EU/Canada/Mexico/Aus/Japan/Korea/Etc) is a wet dream that has become reality for Pres Putin.

“It’s all going according to the plan”

My GTI came with a hatch full of MS 13.
