I’m not saying she definitely feeds her crafty side by stitching together puppy pelts, but it would not surprise me

I think we’ve all thought certain lines were crossed previously, that the lies were so blatant on x occasion, that enough minds would be changed to finally get rid of him. Each time it amounted to nothing.

I was naive enough to think J6 would stoke something in a lot of ‘patriots’ who claim to love the country above all else. Instead he won in 2024 easily…he actually gained support after trying to steal the presidency.

All of this has sapped any hope I had of his supporters abandoning him. I’ve come to see these are not logical people with similar ideals but different values than me. They just vote against what they fear, they vote for certain people to get hurt, and they love being followers. Such is his grip, and I’d be surprised if even the 2A being undermined by the administration can move the needle to a sufficient degree with enough people to make any difference in November.

That said I would love to be pleasantly surprised. I hope you’re right, truly.

EDIT: Sp

Yeah but I dare say most will be conflicted between their gun love and Trump love. Some of them will inevitably choose diaper boy–perhaps more than anyone expects.

Brent had taken my place at the round activity table in kindergarten when I went to get something. So I turned around and butt-butted his butt. I got a stern talking to for that one.

Years ago Matt Taibbi seemed to be stepping up, and it was around the time HST died. Taibbi’s work on Iraq and Wall Street was excellent. Then (what was it a decade ago?) he went MAGA. Wtf?

Makes no sense. It would be like HST railing against Nixon’s downfall.

Thanks, I believe I will!

That month I left active duty military after 11 years, moved my family, and got licensed in my home state to do my job. I had prepared quite a bit and had family help, but it was still a rough life transition for all of us.

By that spring when everything started to settle down and go a bit smoother, the housing crisis set in. Everything got more expensive quickly. I remember worrying I wouldn’t be able to afford fuel for my long commute. I was terrified I wouldn’t be able to support my family.

Somehow we held it all together, but it was a stressful fucking year. Despite all I never regretted leaving the military…it was either that or go back (again) to secure Halliburton’s oil interests in Iraq.

7-yo me hated the original Ghostbusters game on NES. So much so that I devised a plan to get my birthday money back.

Toys R Us would only refund unopened games, but you could get an even exchange if a game was ‘defective’. So I made up some mumbo jumbo about how something didn’t work in the game, and my mom got it swapped for me (she was nervous for some reason). Took the unopened game to a different Toys R Us location and got my money back. I felt like a criminal mastermind.

I can’t really remember what I didn’t like about the game…probably I had a certain expectation as a big Ghostbusters fan that no NES game could meet.

The dumb also seem to think they can partake in his life of spoon-fed privilege and avoid all consequences. I will never understand how he got these people so duped.

Same with how so many religious admire such an amoral, vile, rapist and thief. He’s well beyond false idol status with tons of them.

Patriot Act, DHS, TSA immediately come to mind. Al Qaeda succeeded with much more than a mass murder and destruction of buildings.

It’s easy to say we did it to ourselves, which is somewhat true, but none of the above was decided by referendum. Never overlook the panicked, knee-jerk politicians who gave no thought to long term consequences of the shit they passed in the early 2000s.

IIRC they were tied to something Star Wars related, which they subsequently lost. It was the tiniest consolation for GoT fans as it did nothing to un-ruin the show.

I haven’t seen anyone mention that her attention was divided. Two agents were approaching, yelling at her, one grabs at the door handle while screaming “get the fuck out of the car”.

Meanwhile the murderer slowly made his way around the front of the vehicle, out of her line of sight. When she panicked and tried to flee, he saw his moment.

The panicked flight attempt after the other agent told her to get out of the vehicle is what will see the murderer walk free.

To me it looks like the murderer used careful timing to set the whole thing up, confident his leaders would back him up.

Along those lines…my dad worked hanging drywall in new houses. I went to work with him many times. He busted his ass all day, sweating and covered in gypsum dust, blazing heat with hardly any ventilation, to bring home little pay.

On one of the rides in to work with him it occurred to me that if pay were decided by level of effort, he would be rich. Guys that wear ties to work and sit in air conditioned offices with their pencils and pens…they were living the easy life and making much more than their worth as I saw it.

Honestly that naivety hasn’t fully left me in adulthood. I have more appreciation for many office jobs, but the people who put their bodies on the line for work in shitty conditions are not paid nearly enough by and large. It’s a fucking criminal arrangement.

Or if Garland was on the SC instead of one of the sycophants

Cute lil jackass, don’t ever let anyone bring you down

I can’t stand it either. At least in most cases you can give a throwaway email to get the better pricing. It’s kind of the devil you know at this point.

Dynamic pricing, on the other hand, is true evil as I see it. Adjusting prices on the fly to suit whatever arbitrary condition is set by corporate jerkoffs…it’s price gouging in real time.

I fully agree, but somehow he’s a charismatic asshole

No matter how many records James sets, Jordan will always be considered the greatest. Maybe it makes him sullen, but he should have worked on being more charismatic instead.

Perhaps not the worst, but I’ve had it with anything that rhymes with Aiden

With a little meth, probably.
