On a corruption index, shouldn’t 100 mean entirely corrupt?

Either way, the US doesn’t look good, but this seems to be an integrity index.

Obviously that one guy is unaware of the current easy $140k options on the table.

Trump also trash talked his longtime friend Epstein.

So what would happen if everyone registered as a republican and voted for socialists in the primaries?

For some reason I read that as motorcycle the first time. I was imagining a motorcycle with a sofa sidecar.

Hopefully that’s not what he’s saying. I hope what he’s saying is that the neoliberal Democrats aren’t in opposition to the crazy actions the Republicans are taking, and so anything they’re doing to stop them is purely performative.

Still not quite sure I agree with this, but I’m pretty sure that’s what the OP was arguing.

Isn’t that functionality built in to the OS? Set up parental controls, and you can do this with no extra apps needed. It’ll even generate reports.

Using Shortcuts, you can even map these profiles to different Focus modes.

This might be romanticizing the early Internet.

I can remember plenty of flame wars in the late 80s and early 90s that were all about shutting down meaningful discussion. Informed debate flourished in niche areas, but it still does today, in a similar volume. What’s changed is the massive volume of social media that’s grown up around it, including many types of voices that were in short supply on the Internet in 1989, and many of which are uneducated and/or tribal in nature.

I’ve seen it both ways; the atheists turned christian don’t tend to stand for cultural christianity though.

2024 was unfair because he didn’t win by a landslide.

That said, it’s also the easiest way to turn an atheist into a christian. Just not one that would be into Southern Baptist OR Catholic churches.

That’s Josh ben Yusef to you.

And most Christian Nationalists have never actually read their seminal text; just out of context selections fed to them by their leaders.

Did you try tweeting your rep? That seems to be the only way to get their attention these days.

I’m a free money maximalist.

That’s rich coming from Harper. I guess his vision of Canadian Nationalism includes remaining a sovereign nation for multinationals to plunder.

The problem is, if she exits now, what sane firm would hire her?

Nothing xenophobic about it. That’s just the model we already have documented information about. Notice I mentioned CCP and government, not “the Chinese”.

That’s like calling someone an antisemite for being against the Israeli or Iranian government.

Yes; they’re the ones that survived.

Where I grew up, the “local tribe” had been migratory slave traders who expanded into the area shortly before Europeans showed up. They then proceeded to sign a treaty granting them the whole area, including parts where they had never actually settled.

Unlike the other tribes in the area to whom ownership was a foreign concept, they not only understood what was going on, but figured out how to profit from it. So they now have massive treaty lands that had been managed by a different nation for thousands of years prior to European settlement.

They may be playing the OTHER Trump card… that is, implicating Trump.

I disagree. Democrats can’t lie under oath without getting hauled off to prison where they run i to a wall with both sides of their head.
