Mocking and laughing at fascists has sometimes proven an effective tactic.

Personalized Pricing, Differential Pricing, Customer-Specific Pricing, Segmented Pricing - all buzzwords for variations of Price Discrimination, which consumers ought to reject.

If the price is going to be based on what I can pay, then I demand my 79 cent yacht and my $3 mansion.

The every ten year US Census and reapportionment is in the Constitution, it's not something Trump can do whenever he wants.

My parents set it up in advance, because it costs twice as much if you wait.

Strangest thing is women carefully explaining what they do and don't want, and these pathetic men ignoring them completely. These men care more about impressing each other than the women they claim to want.

Trump, your VP is making you look like a fool.
Trump, your CIA Director is making you look like a fool.
Trump, your Secretary of State is making you look like a fool.
Trump, your Defense Secretary is making you look like a fool.
Gosh it was easy for them to do.
They think you're senile now.

The current regime does not find itself restricted by the US Constitution. This is a clear sign that this is a political coup.

Listen, you news reporters. If you don't have the courage to report what's happening, in plain language, then find another job.

The worst among us are self-identifying by working for ICE.

Republican candidates for President in 2028 will be telling Trump his time is up, when they declare that they are in the race. But so far, they are all afraid to step into the ring.

During the American Civil War, the South experienced a series of "bread riots" in 1863, mainly driven by women facing severe food shortages and inflation. These riots were the largest civil disturbances in the Confederacy. The Richmond Bread Riot, April 2, 1863, was the most prominent example.

If it's like sports gambling, the state regulations allow them to put $$$ to advertising in the form of free bets. Those free bets grab the addicts, and off they go.

Hey, Olympic officials - are you looking forward to a replay of the 1936 Olympics? Ready to be embarrassed by a dictator again? Don't you love watching those replays of Hitler at the Olympics, shown over and over? You're asking for it again.

Will any Republican 2028 presidential candidate announce soon? First mover advantage could be big. Go for it! I can't wait to see what Trump thinks of you. Where are you, Virginia Governor? Alabama governor? Texas?

The official census is part of the constitution, Article 1, section 2.
The Constitution specifies that the census is an enumeration of "persons," not just citizens, meaning it aims to count everyone residing in the United States, regardless of citizenship status
