Problem is both sides thinks they're the resistance.

Only Hunger Games addressed this by taking out both leaders showing that both were using the people for themselves.

We really need to kill the 2 party system. We really need ranked choice in all states for fed seats. Then this crap won't work for either side.

Let people decide all the representation of their state rather than just their own district which gets loaded with special interest politicians anyway.

Did he really just say prices going up is not inflation, that the fed is responsible for inflation?

"Hey kids, sure this popsicle now costs $5 instead of $1, but the fed rates went down so it's not inflation!"

Pre-pardons make no legal sense to me and should amount to a fart in the wind.

How can you be granted clemency of guilt for something you haven't been found guilty of or may not even be charged with and isn't even in the legal system yet?

Its like, the opposite of punishment for a thought crime

Always remember, Trump called to cut up to 50% from wcience programs in the US including NASA. Further more, NASA's budget was decreased by about 3% for this year compared to the previous year.

I don't think it's a typo. He wants America to contol Iran so indeed hell would reign especially withthis admin

Colorado its just rounding to the nearest nickel. It's not rocket science. But no rounding if using a card.

For example, if you pay with cash, your total is $5.53. you round up to $5.55. The next total is $7.62. You round down to $7.60.

Yohu charge $10.96 to a card, you are charged $10.96.

I may be projecting, but can anyone else see how like concerned everyone up there is that he's waving a sword around randomly?

Vance, his wife, and Melania all noticebly taking steps back why the one soldier is trying their best to remain stoic while the other for some reason is getting their sword

Some days the anxiety and deoression and loneliness just hit you with a massive truck.

Hey that's not fair, Uncle Fester is at least charming in a macabre sense.

I have to do this to get my dog out of bed every morning otherwise she looks at me and flops back to sleep

Would a romantic remake of Walking Tall pretty much just be Brokeback Mountain?

Just remember, Paul Singer, one of Trumps major supporters has a majority stock in Citgo plus the other major 5 oil companies who put money into Trump's election.

He's returning the favor.

Meanwhile the country with 100% direct ties to 9/11 murdered a US reporter is one of our closest allies.

But Iran... oh boy, they may have a nuke as soon as next day/week/year.

Has a deeper voice than i do

Friendly reminder on the 24th of February, the SCOTUS ruled that you can not sue the USPS if they accidentally or intentionally withhold mail.

Mail in ballots are gonna wind up missing and we need to spread this awareness everywhere as i haven't been seeing it.

Unfortunately, I doubt a dem majority will help unless it's held continously for multiple election cycles, I'd conservatively say at least 4

Many of the dems we have now are complicit in what's happening as they aren't speaking up or fighting and they cave to Republican demands at the drop of a hat

Throw on ranked choice voting as well to destroy the death grip the 2 party system has where the "choice" boils down to two increasingly worse PAC backed choices almost every cycle.

ISIS came to power due to the power vacuum left behind when Sadam Hussain was killed. What kindn of monster is this gonna breed?

If only Jefferies actully had a backbone to fight rather than telling all house dems "be silent to protest". The dems need a better speaker because he's just a coward.

I use to fun of conspiracy theorist but now I'm almost to my 40s coming up with perp boards in my head tying corps benefitting from Trump with all their funding they've given him and what theyve got in return.

When I step back, all I can say is just... Fuck the rich for being able to do this.

Now Paul Singer also bought out Citgo and was a major donor to Trump. Guess who is in charge of Venezuelan oil? Citgo.

Carney seems to have a hot/cold relationship, but the company ge helped run got some juicy US contracts shortly after Trump was elected.

Neilsen ratings won't be accurate.

Tinfoild hat time: Nielsen was bought out in 2022 by Evergreen Coast Capital Corp(who is an affiliate of Elliot Investment Management) and Brookfield Business partners.

Now Elliot uses Evergreen as a tech investment arm. Who founded Elliot? Paul Singer. Who was a chair of Brookfield? Mark Carney.

You'd be surprised how many people actually do this. Its actually a "rich person" thing to not pay your taxes until they are about to put a lean on the property

Hey, we had Joe Camel once upon a time and got hooked kids on smoking.

For a while there, everyone was panicking about powdered alcohol

I like watching @facethenation.bsky.social but that look Margaret Brennan gave accidentally after the interview with Iran's foreign minister to the camera as it went to commercial break just read "Oh shit we're going to be in another Iraq/Afghanistan"

a cartoon character with the words " my neck hurts and my ear hurts i have two owies " ALT: a cartoon character with the words " my neck hurts and my ear hurts i have two owies "

What it kinda felt like playing that originally:

What we'll see: EU and some countries going after some of these guys but in the US, some no names or those at the end of their lives will be sacrificial lambs while those still in power and enriched by this guy will see maybe a slap on the wrist followed by "I confessed to God and i am better now"

A webcomic about a guy calling a phone number on a wall for a good time.

Reminds me of a comic from 15 years ago... sorry no credit outside a reddit post but the original link is dead
