As others have mentioned, price is becoming an issue. But also, more legalized weed is hurting alcohol as well.

How antisemitic…

From the Midwest USA. If it was below 25 we might have a sweatshirt on. Anyone asking for a space heater would be ridiculed for their “thin blood”.

Obviously I’m talking F for my area. Had to look up Brazil. Do ya’ll really get cold below 25C?

Didn’t Obama go to Iran? Or some country in that area?

Fun fact, law enforcement is bound by the fourth amendment against performing illegal searches or seizures. Any evidence gained from “the fruit of the poisonous tree” is generally inadmissible unless they can prove they could have found it through other legal means. This in no way prevents them from using evidence gained through illegal means and provided to them outside of direct law enforcement action!

Wednesday’s vote came nearly two weeks after House Republicans cancelled an earlier scheduled vote, on the grounds that they lacked the votes to defeat it.

Now they have assurances that either the senate won’t pass it or trump will simply veto it.

“He made the country whiter by deporting less than white people!”

Worse. If, for example, I, born and raised in the US and white as fuck, use a bank account to pay for Mexican food, and that business gets targeted by ICE because their racist pieces of shit, they could decide to close my bank account. They could say I was supporting illegal immigration.

Comes out of the first live test run with a shit ton of laser burns on his arm.

“I think I’ve pinpointed the problem.”

I think we’re overthinking this a bit. I have one simple question. Hear me out. Can a mosquito survive a nuclear blast? I’ll let you sit with that a minute.

Does it add meaningful history or precedence? There was a MN State Legislator that proposed a bill to formally define Trump Derangement Syndrome as a mental illness. It was a worthless “look-at-me” attention grabbing bill that never had a chance at passing. Did it move the needle at all for conservatives or was it just something they could chuckle about with all their idiot friends? I’d bet good money you won’t see such a massive shift in American sentiment with regards to corporate profit in your lifetime if it ever could pass. So to propose a bill like that does nothing.

But if your fight against the nazis will only waste your energy and have no discernible effect on their cause, what good is it? In fact, your fight could serve the opposite purpose if it feeds their persecution complex. They can point to your failed fight in propaganda to fuel their movement. I’m saying fight smarter, not necessarily harder. I’m not saying don’t fight at all.

Except the nazis who matter don’t give a shit. You think musk is going to give this a second thought? All this amounts to is a distraction. The problem with bills like this is they take away resources from something that can do some actual good.

I mean she was a little old for Don’s taste when they met. That’s a little surprising.

Chuck will hit em with his patented glower, then ca-bitch-ulate.

Sounds like you are unable to perform all aspects of your job from home.

I can certainly be mentored over Teams. In office time could be scheduled when convenient if there was truly a pressing need.

We had a US Senator bring a fucking snowball onto the floor of the Senate to disprove global warming.

I know a guy that lamented all throughout Biden’s term that “the debt is the highest it’s ever been!” He truly didn’t understand how the US debt works. He also hasn’t cared that, to no one’s surprise but his own, the debt under trump’s current term is higher still.

I feel like the types of people who are smart enough to succeed also understand it’s not a guarantee you’ll get away with it or survive. Most people want to survive.

That’s not how cults work generally. The leader is the leader because of some charismatic attribute. Most of the followers are followers because they can only follow. They don’t have the charisma to lead the cult. Watch any of his underlings when they deign to interact with people outside the cult. It’s awkward, weird, and usually leaves you feeling uncomfortable. Within the cult they might have somewhat of a commanding presence or ability to hold cultists attention, but they are useless for growing the cult. And that’s the rub. Cults die without new members, especially ones that are primarily made up of the elderly, eschew typical medical advice, and live unhealthy lifestyles.

Add on to that, trump doesn’t seem like the type to “pass the torch”. So I imagine once he goes, there will be a greedy and hateful power vacuum that rips through the republican party (especially if it’s while he’s still in office).
