idk, we'll give it a chance... midlife DIYer, gamer, foodie, and human, wading through human emotions and physical limitations, but you can't stop me yet!

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

that makes zero sense. why do all of us have to switch our hours to accommodate people working outside in winter? and it only gives you one hour, not a couple. change your business hours if it's better for your business.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

I miss the days when Obama could just post his summer playlist instead of dire warnings.

ronny raygun and his cronies really fucked it up and started it all. we've tried trickle down economics for 40+ years now. clearly it's not working.

for modern times, sure. i might put Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mussolini, and Franco in the running for all time... so far. i guess we'll find out who will claim the top spot when all is said and done.

In the interest of saving everyone time:

Yes, whatever you are pointing out is hypocritical.

No, they do not care.

i can think of several others that *may* be worse throughout history. but i'll definitely give him a spot on top 10 of all time. certainly in the top 3 of contemporary fucks.

as a matter of fact, yes, he could say those things. opinions are one thing, however in this case, he would likely be sued for libel or slander. you can say whatever you want, but there may be consequences. ask Alex Jones for references.

The regime seized military control of the capital supported by units from regions loyal to the regime & announced that it will deploy military forces to regions controlled by opponents & oppressed groups.

I'm FAR from the 1st person to say this, but are we all clear now about what's happening?

hindsight is 20/20. while i agree with your general sentiment, there is a massive difference between Biden's missteps and miscalculations, and Trump's total disregard during the first year and subsequent dismantling of NIH, CDC, FDA, etc., in his second term.

It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About β€œSoft Secession” Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."

It's so weird how LLMs know so much about things I don't know anything about, and yet make fundamental and basic errors about things I do know anything about. Oh well, I'm sure that's a coincidence.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

because Texas likes freedom. they proved this in the blackouts of Feb 21. they would rather die than pay for public services that are reliable and save lives.

most, if not all, of the provisions in the bill will take effect after the end of this year (staring Jan 2026), a full ten months before the mid-term election of all 435 seats in congress.

it's painfully clear by now that the rule of law was on the honor system. i don't think we have 18 months for midterms to find out if things will resolve. what to do?
