They wanted to play placating politics and lost it all. Don’t wanna alienate those MAGA voters!

May I inquire how this could be a good thing? I feel like it could exacerbate problems, but I’m not well versed enough in macroeconomics to make an accurate assessment.

Yeah, my neighbor rents her house while she is living somewhere else for work. She’s about to retire, so she’ll be moving back soon. But she always rented to folks who needed short term living, traveling nurses, graduate students, etc. She charges significantly less than what the market calls for, and she also comes and handles minor repairs. The landlord, people are angry about are the ones who hoard massive amounts of property. The industry just needs to be regulated.

I’m sorry, but your arguments are terrible.

A) if I say I condemn white supremacists, but a protest that turned violent, due to said white supremacists, had fine people on both sides; what conclusion does that leave? One, he lied. He either lied about condemning white supremacists, or he lied about very fine people. Either way, he lied. This produces a loss of trust, words do not hold any meaning by Trump anymore.

B) yeah, imma need to see some data on that one. Bringing the whole country into this, I can’t see it. The fact that there is a disproportionate amount of black representation in congress, disproves this.

C) you’re intentionally ignoring nuance and comprehension skills. When people say MAGAs are white supremacists, it’s guilty by association. If I support Hitler, I am supporting the actions that he took. E.g. It doesn’t matter if I like the guy’s paintings, he still did horrendous things and any good deed is tarnished by his life work of destruction and despair. The same applies to Trump. Also, hyperbolization is the word you’re looking for, not hyperbolic-ism lol.

I highly recommend staying away from YouTube/TikTok debaters. You clearly argue like them; not really arguing points, but trying to elicit emotional reactions. Which just makes you a troll, really. You clearly are intelligent, but you could be so much more if you tried. Read some books, study history. Look at all the things this world has to offer. You will never progress, if you stop learning. Much love to you, mate. I hope you find whatever it is you’re looking for.

I love that he immediately started putting qualifiers on it, “you know, that’s not who I am” and then trying to blame DEI for making him racist lmao

I heard this this morning and went on YT to find a clip of him saying what he said on Newsmax. And look, I’m all for you mourning your friend. You loved him and I’m incredibly sorry you’re suffering. However, you do not get to continue to spread division by saying, “leaders on the left need to stop spreading hate…” This was the perfect time to just say, “political violence needs to stop in both sides, we’ve seen far too much of it” but you placed blame. Because you’re emotional and lost a friend. But the blame is squarely with you, encouraging the rhetoric of us vs them.

This reminds me of Norm McDonald’s bit, “People say the worst thing about the whole Bill Cosby thing is the hypocrisy. I disagree, I thought it was the raping that was the worst” apologies for butchering it, but I think it’s very relevant, considering it was on an episode of comedians in cars with Jerry

I thought Harvard told DJT to fuck off. Did Yale acquiesce? I’m sure ND will, given their religious background.

I have a theory that most folks were using him to hide money to make billions. Then, there were some folks who had “every day be another wonderful secret”

These are just taking in the cults that have succeeded. It’s survivorship bias. There’s countless more cults that have died out, or faded away time, and time again.

How can they gerrymander it any more? lmfao

This, this, this! Trump attracts people in a unique way, the same way that Hitler attracted people. Vance doesn’t have that charisma. His ascension would fracture the party. There’s folks who are willing to buck him, not Trump. It is the best shot we have at normalcy.

not see Nazi ftfy

Edit: this is a terrible attempt at a joke. I would delete it, but only cowards delete. So, yeah.

Question: since Trump was the administration in charge of those vaccines, can we sue the president for releasing an “dangerous” vaccine, “harming” Americans?

Like, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t hate the COVID vaccine and ignore that it was done under Trump’s administration. I’m so confused, my head hurts, these people are fucking stupid.

HE’S A FUCKING MULTI-BILLIONAIRE!!! And now he just gets to walk away. What a fucking joke, our system is.

Because Powered by the People is based in Texas. It’s a PAC specifically for Texas. Therefore, TXAG has the right, and legal standing, to sue. However, I believe Dems should have kept going, found other ways to fund the Dems who left and fight TXAG Paxton.

EXACTLY! That’s why I’m turning my yard into a native habitat for all sorts of critters. I’m planting mushrooms, wildflowers, native shrubs and trees, ferns, etc. I’ve already noticed an uptick in the year and a half I’ve been doing it and maintenance is a breeze. Way easier than keeping up with grass and I love having some clover in the yard and the bees go nuts for it!

Crazy how the “fiscally responsible” Republicans still can’t grasp money going in must be greater than money going out to decrease the deficit. There’s no way out of this shit storm without raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations. We also need a progressive capital gains tax, so that when billionaires get their dividends, they’re taxed to hell. But what the fuck do I know.

Oh, I’m well aware of that despicable school in the Upstate. That whole area is still riddled with prejudice.

Absolutely! We’re still a bit away from being solely reliant, in the general sense, on renewables, but they’re fantastic at grid supplimentation! We should be heavily investing in both, but much more in nuclear, as it has higher energy yield and is able to meet demand better. Having an EE degree has proven more stressful in recent years with the administrations not doing enough for energy demand in America. It’s no small stretch to say, we are decades behind on demand and infrastructure. We’ve punted the ball so many times that it’s a monumental feat to move quickly enough without a large investment in the grid, and even then lol
