I couldn’t imagine marrying someone with totally opposing political views. Disagreements on some issues sure, but totally opposing political views is essentially like having totally opposing values, morals and ethics to a degree, etc. Base things that play a role in determining compatibility.

Next up, Republicans prepare bill declaring “Black Lives Matter” is racist against white people.

They experienced a whole ass previous four year term, culminating in the USA becoming the covid capital of the world and over a million people dying from it just in that one country, and were like, “Yeah, let’s do that again.”

Maybe we can get back to workplaces training their employees for the job they want them to do rather than putting the entire cost of training on 18 year oldish high school graduates for a job market that might not even be great (or exist) once they graduate post-secondary.

Just slightly less than when they came up with a fan that doesn’t buffet you with air as though that’s not what you want from a fan.

We need to push back on the idea that you represent a brand or that brand has any authority over you when off the clock.

So over half of Americans aren’t concerned with accelerating authoritarianism? Great.

I’m getting the feeling that what the US is thiiiiis close to is civil conflict.

US history is a little more than unblemished, though. Hell, not even history. They are literally arming a genocidal state as we speak.

Just in general cast iron has this sense about it like people think it’s made of gossamer and not a chunk of literal iron. They aren’t that delicate. Even coarse scrubbies are fine if not applies too firmly.

Sweet and salty is a good and valid flavour combo.

He’s still a total dumbass not to have accepted his fate as a one term president from the get-go, dip and give the Democrats the usual amount of time to choose a successor rather than the truncated run Harris made.

This guy wanted another term this time last year.

He developed a cult of personality around himself of significant size and used it to seize one of two pillars of political power in the USA, which then propelled him to power twice. Not smart as in “good for the world,” but pretty successful in the, “empowering and enriching oneself at the cost of the commons” sense.

He’s an idiot-savant. A total moron with a special talent for self promotion. Which it turns out gets you very far in life (along with the head start one gets being born wealthy).

Is this what it looks like when you hold all the cards, then?

Watching that gave me a sensation similar to how I would describe the feeling you get coming to a stop in an elevator.

As far as I’m aware there is no rule he can’t pick his own name as his pope name, should he want to be cool.

Wouldn’t it be so wonderful if we could somehow get these people to understand that their ideas are bad without having to directly experience the consequences of them?
