Yeah, but she’s simultaneously so powerful that she convinced several elected officials in New York to risk prison time by attacking one of her political opponents in exchange for…? Nothing? And oh by the way, he wasn’t her actual political opponent when the prosecution started, 4D chess over there.

But also so stupid she couldn’t pass the bar exam and can’t form a complete sentence without a teleprompter.

Get with it folks!

After the civil war completes, Emperor Walz declares the entire nation will now be known as Minnesota in a show of unification to the rest of the world.

Go back to mother Russia. Just off the top of my head with 30 seconds of thinking about it and no research:

Obama: Implemented “Obamacare” allowing millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions to get affordable healthcare for the first time.

Biden: Limits on predatory interest rates across the board. Limited Insulin prices.

Both of them have actively gone after people and businesses ripping of medicare which universally helps the working class through better care and lower taxes.

But sure, they’ve done NOTHING for the working class.

Yes, because the infrastructure that Proton hosts their service on is “infinite”. Everyone knows that Amazon charges the same price to reserve one instance of EC2 as they charge for reserving 10,000.

What exactly do you think the “cloud” is composed of? Fairy dust? It’s composed of all sorts of finite things - servers, storage, networking, electricity, etc. etc. etc.

I sure hope they not only lose, but get further punitive damages for even trying to pull this shit.

They aren’t really gullible. If you watch the youtube videos, it’s pretty much always people that already had their licenses revoked, sometimes permanently. They’re just trying to convince themselves there’s some way to legally drive again.

In the meantime fuck diabetic people, am I right?

Student loan forgiveness with no other action is completely counter-productive. Just like allowing drug companies to charge anything they want for Insulin, and then just having the government pay them is completely counter-productive. The answer to spiraling insulin prices (when not due to a shortage of some key ingredient) is to cap prices, not just pay whatever ransom drug companies are asking.

College costs have spiraled out of control because laws were passed to prevent you from escaping student loan debt through bankruptcy. From a lender perspective there’s almost no risk to giving students as much money as they want to borrow. Colleges in turn realized they could just keep raising prices because students could “afford” pretty much any tuition price through loans. If you just “forgive” all student loan debt, you’ll just encourage colleges to jack up prices even more. Why not? Come one come all, the government is going to foot whatever the bill ends up being!

If you’re going to forgive student debt, it needs to come with 3 things:

• A hard cap on public university tuition tracking inflation
• Student loans need to go back to being forgiven as a part of bankruptcy.
• A long-term plan to make public universities “free”

You want to find a middle ground with conservatives? Make tuition free for the occupations we have a shortage of to encourage people to go to school for a degree in which there will be a job waiting when they’re done.

We need more teachers? Teaching degrees are free for the next decade. You want to be a marine biologist? You pay whatever the (reasonable) capped state tuition is.

Welcome to literally everything? It’s called volume-based discount. Just like if you buy a box of cookies from the grocery store, you’ll pay a fuckton more than if you buy a pallet of cookies from the exact same company.

The thing with the F-35 is you’ll never actually hear about it being “better” because there is no dogfight. It shows up, you die, that’s it. In the real-world it would be like one guy showing up to a boxing ring to fight, and the other guy dropping a nuclear bomb on the stadium. The whole point of 5th gen fighters is that they don’t engage, they have so much technology that they blow up the opponent before the opponent even knows they showed up.

Meanwhile, Russia’s “5th gen” fighters can’t get near the airspace because they both don’t have the proper smart munitions, and don’t have the physical capabilities to fly into an area blanketed in US AA weapons.

What happened to white women? Well, she ran for office and you claimed she was unfit for office because women are emotionally unstable and something about emails that magically disappeared as soon as Ivanka got caught ACTUALLY deleting emails.

To be fair. His farming ventures have moved his opinion on climate in a positive direction.

But have they? His insistence at this point is that he doesn’t have to do anything, or change anything, science will “solve the issue”. Nothing better than someone who thinks any mess they make can be cleaned up by someone else so why bother trying to make any changes that makes your life slightly less convenient?

He added: ‘I won’t drive a Tesla. I’ve got probably 10 cars, all with V8 engines. I don’t think electric cars solve anything. Science is going to be needed here, not politics. Science will solve it eventually. Always does.’

I don’t do ANYTHING on twitter other than occasionally click on a post by a local sports guy when I get a notification. Literally EVERYTHING else in my feed is right wing political non-sense. The extent of my interactions were hitting block early on, and when I realized that did nothing to give their “algorithm” a clue that I wasn’t interested I just started ignoring it entirely.

No, but his relatives won’t allow him to be alone with any of his nieces or nephews because that “little incident” back in 2012.

This would be far more convincing coming from someone that isn’t an evangelical religious nutjob teaching at a school with barely enough students to field an American football team (yes I know it’s Australia) much less be competitive in any major sports.

Controversial thesis: if you teach creationism in college as a factual accounting of history, then it’s not a university. It’s a cult with a side hustle in tertiary education.

I see this guy has never tried to use a public restroom in san francisco… Providing public restrooms resulted in absolutely horrendously disgusting and unusable public restrooms that literally require a hazmat suit to clean, ignoring the needles.

The primary issue was the defunding and closure of mental health facilities. While far from perfect, we probably should’ve focused on improving them instead of throwing mentally unstable people onto the streets to fend for themselves.

“If you’re trying to reach senior decision makers, if you want to reach the most influential people in the world,” Musk told Read, “the X platform is by far the best.”

Does someone want to break it to him that he’s one of about 4 executives of a fortune 500 who spends any time on Twitter? The rest have PR people who might make a couple posts a month for them, but they sure as shit aren’t wasting any time on it arguing with idiots and bots. They’re busy flying around on private jets or playing golf when they aren’t spending their 30 minutes a month working.

On the flip side, the number of people I see towing an RV behind a mid-sized SUV with the front wheels lifting off the ground is astounding. For every guy that bought a truck that never tows anything heavy and never sees any dirt, there’s two idiots towing something 4x what their car is capable of putting you and everyone else on the road in danger.

The fact you phrase it as though that’s an actual question is terrifying. You’re comparing someone who wants to LITERALLY be a dictator and never have an election again, to someone who isn’t willing to fully embrace every last left-wing policy you demand.

The “ruling class” didn’t dictate Bernie not getting the Democratic nomination, people voting in primaries did. Do you know which group of people overwhelmingly don’t vote in primaries? The same 20-somethings bitching about Biden being the “only other option”. Get the fuck out of here with your “demonstrating to the ruling class” - you had your opportunity to show up and overwhelm the primaries and chose not to. The “ruling class” don’t have the numbers to determine a primary, and if you choose to watch their commercials and buy into it, that’s on you. But hey, if a bunch of people think like you’ll they’ll find out what actually living in a dictatorship is like. And no, Canada isn’t just going to welcome you with open arms when the world starts burning down around you so I hope you’ve got an exit strategy.

Ronny “trickle down economics” Reagan thought taxes should be higher on wealthy folks? Are you insane? The top tax bracket went from 70% at the start of his presidency to 28% by the time he left office. What Democrat have you heard calling to drop the top tax rate below 28%?

He was WORSE than “that bad”. Have you ever heard of something called the Iran Contra scandal?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–Contra_affair

And oh, by the way, he didn’t defeat the USSR, Carter did. Funding the Taliban’s war against the Soviet’s started under his watch. Ronny just took credit for it.

Is his campaign promising things he doesn’t have the power to do?

A president can do almost NOTHING unilaterally. What they’re promising you is what they’ll support if it makes it to their desk. This is how checks and balances work… if you want to vote for someone who has sworn to be as shitty as possible because the guy who swore to do things you want can’t just snap his fingers and make it happen, I guess nobody can stop you…

What you’re finding is that the Democratic party is still interested in a functioning government where people don’t just vote the party line like a borg - which results in more difficulty passing legislation. Unfortunately, “both sides same” isn’t remotely accurate which you’re finding out.
