I grew up progressive and we said all the dumb racist shit too. And then my mom beat the shit out of me in front of the neighborhood as a small child. I didn’t say racist shit after that.

Not really a joke in that, having one, will probably exclude you. Might be worth the investment🥹

Did nobody open a history book before two years ago? We’ve been the imperial iron fist of the West for a century. Since manifest destiny and the Monroe doctrine even.

I just came to terms with not hating our past, bc better us than Russia, North Korea, Iran, et al running the show. But bruh - we’ve got our warts. Covered in em.

Cheap consumer goods come from advantageous trade relationships. Trade is impacted by regimes, culture, military size differences, etc. Do the math. Lookup Dole and why them bananas so cheap. Need faster cheaper shipping, let’s buy Panama! The list is endless.

In spite of the speed run, the calendar is ticking quicker than I imagined. I think the vibe around the midterms when primary season kicks off, will paint a picture of what’s next.

Delete his fucking job too. Disgusting animal.

Yeah that makes sense. He’s not indicted, so he’s not technically in Federal turf yet at that point, is that right?
