28.07.2025 15:50 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0That seems very weird. Korea is such a modern technological society you'd think they would have currency exchange and electronic banking like the rest of the developed world. There's nothing like that in Mexico, for example, from what I've heard from folks.
28.07.2025 15:47 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I bought a vinyl record of the Adrian Boult recording on Angel (EMI US) when I was abt 15 (1968) for $4, which was at least $20 today, so it was a significant purchase. Paired with the rarely heard and somewhat similar In the Fen Country. Made me a lifetime VW lover. It was probably the cover art.

25.07.2025 23:52 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0What is needed is a robust Federal Anti-SLAPP law, which needs to be vigorously enforced by the Courts. Democrats? You gonna tee this up? If so, SAY SO... we need to know that the party asking for our votes is actually planning to fix these serious issues when next it has the majority.
25.07.2025 23:51 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Cuomo is a dinosaur. He is the past of the Democratic Party... or he better be, if we're to have any chance at all of getting ourselves out of this mess and moving forward again in the future.
22.07.2025 16:43 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Reminds me of the rich residents of the capital and Maryland going to watch the Civil War battles. But this is far worse. This is the "g" word: GENOCIDE.
22.07.2025 16:42 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Oh, that's not against the letter and spirit of the First Amendment and everything America is supposed to stand for, or anything like that.
22.07.2025 16:41 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0This is so f-ing outrageous. These people are beyond redemption.
21.07.2025 00:22 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Get with it, Democratic dinosaur establishment. Mamdani, as a Bernie Sanders progressive, IS THE FUTURE of the Democratic party, and it is YOU are the ones who are splintering the party, and endangering our prospects of defeating and getting beyond MAGA Fascism across the board.

19.07.2025 22:40 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0There are so many violations of human rights. But this is an obvious class action suit and I hope the resources are there to bring it soon. There can be no excuse for this, and I would really like to believe even Alito and Thomas would see it that way.
17.07.2025 18:29 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Michael Wolf came out and said it pretty unequivocally. The sex trafficking was an Achilles' heel sideline. Epstein's real business was money laundering. And Trump doesn't want the details of that known, even though he has already shown that he is pretty much exempt from the law.
17.07.2025 15:23 β π 1 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0He should be denied entry to the UK till he pays up. No state visits for you, Donnie.
17.07.2025 05:37 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The idea that Trump would refer anyone for mortgage fraud is the depth of irony.
16.07.2025 00:48 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Good for them. Trump is trying to turn ICE into a secret police force answerable only to him. We should be resisting this on all levels.
16.07.2025 00:46 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0OK I shouldda said "among the ten worst" because I'll give him that Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Caligula, Nero, Vlad the Impaler and Tamerlane were worse. Chingis Khan, Atilla?... actually, I don't think so.
16.07.2025 00:43 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Trump is unbelievably bad. Not only is he unquestionably the worst president in American history, he is in the running for the worst leader of a major nation in the entire history of entities reasonably called "nations" in the entire world.
16.07.2025 00:40 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 1Trump's ridiculous, outrageous and incredibly stupid tarriff letters to our most important allies (among others) have gone a long way towards permanently destroying our most important and time honored alliances. Let that sink in.
11.07.2025 14:02 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Impeach this mad man already. Surely inflicting direct harm on one's country is a "misdemeanor" in the meaning of the Constitution.
11.07.2025 01:56 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0This guy should be disbarred, not elevated to important public office. He is a disgrace to the legal profession.
11.07.2025 01:51 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0People who vote for that are not conservative. They are elitist assholes, and, by coincidence, usually racist assholes as well.
11.07.2025 01:48 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I would like to ask any (presumably Never Trump) conservatives on here: what exactly is conservative about saddling our country with massive debt and a third world social safety net in order to spare the mega wealthy from paying their fair share of the "price of civilization"? (Taxes).
11.07.2025 01:48 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Madman! Impeach already!
11.07.2025 01:22 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0This is absolutely insane. Any sane members of Congress would vote to impeach the Mad King immediately.
11.07.2025 01:21 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I honestly think that both the worst thing and the only thing about Trump that might save us is that the man is UNBELIEVABLY stupid.
09.07.2025 15:01 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0They should all drop out. Democrats need to unify around the people's choices ... and that goes for races everywhere throughout the country. We owe no allegiance to the old guard, whose failures got us into this mess in the first place by driving deluded voters worried about the economy to MAGA.
08.07.2025 04:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Odd that you ignore the most important difference between Trumpism and Democrats, which is adherence to the Constitutional system / rule of law. I would think that would be #1 thru 10 in importance.
07.07.2025 21:58 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0This is literally sickening. I am fighting the urge to throw up.
