No no. Not pro-Iran government, just curious what the specific reason are for calling it a shit country.

Why?

that was for actual citizens property

Fixed it for you.

1/5th? Worse than slaves.

Mistake? Noooo...

GWB's and Cheney's military contractor buddies got fat off that 20 year quagmire. I'm sure trump and hegseth are on their payroll.

I’ve had about 9 boosters at this point, and my nuts are so swollen from spike proteins that when I go to Walmart, they accuse me of trying to steal basketballs.

There are 1.765 million registered voters in Utah. Trump got 883k votes. Kamala could have carried the state by nearly 200k people if they bothered to vote.

Unlikely, but still possible. If people in deep red states decided it was worth it to still got out and vote blue, even if they were going to lose.

User is very upset. It was a broken bulb last time, so it must be a broken bulb this time. Why can't the help desk make bulbs that don't break? Bulb was fine, user was locking and unlocking the door instead of flipping the light switch.

Support would be like

User reports lightbulb is broken. Tries to talk user through troubleshooting. Problem resolved by turning on light.

Fair enough. It gave me a laugh and I had to ask.

The people who vote for trump think that the bomb was just a great technological achievement, and never learned about the Japanese internment camps.

The odds of a ICBM hitting are low if it comes via air...

I'm curious to see what other ways you think an ICBM is going to get to the target.

Real parm instead of the canned stuff.

Chicken breasts - you can get massive pumped up chicken breast for the same price as "normal" chicken breasts. The problem is when you cook the big ones, they just leech out all their liquid.

"I think, therefore I am..." "...gonna eradicate large portions of humanity through violence"

-Descartes, full quote without omissions-

"See, the second amendment specifically says you have a right to bear arms, and that means any kind of gun I want to buy should be legal."

"However, there is no amendment saying you have a right to wear armor. So being protected isn't a constitutional right".

"Oh? This supressor I want to put on my gun? That should be allowed by the second amendment. Wait, what do you mean there is no constitutional right to gun accessories?!"

It usually goes something like that. I'd like to point out here that there isn't a constitutional right to wear pants or eat bacon either.

Let's put it this way.

Pretend I'm some semi-adversarial nation, like Saudi Arabia. I want trump to let off some sanctions, or tariffs, or in general give me preferential treatment compared to other nations. I want to give trump a big sum of money to do this, just writing him a check would be obvious corruption. So instead, I just book whole floors of his hotels during off-peak hours, and at a premium pricing. I don't even bother having anyone stay in the rooms, so trump can even book those rooms again for additional money. I just "legitimately" sent trump a bunch of money, and now he is paying it forward by stopping investigations into my goons sawing journalists into tiny pieces.

If this sounds to far-fetched for you, keep in mind that it literally happened.

This phone company trump has made really only exists as a bit of paper and some software. It has no infrastructure, no brick and mortar store fronts, nor any assets. It's mostly an agreement with a large carriers to lease time on their networks, charged per usage amount. For this scenario, let's pretend I'm Vladimir Putin trying to pay trump for leaving Ukraine high and dry. I simply put in orders for Trump's phone service, and then never even use the phones. Hell, a physical phone is probably never sent. On paper, it looks like 100,000 people signed up for the service, but they never use any of the lines, so trump collects nearly 100% of the money, with just a little bit lost to keep a small server up to handle transactions and accounts.

If none of this makes sense to you as an obvious vector for trump to receive money from foreign agents, then I'd guess that you're the kind of person who thinks that the mob ran legitimate protection services.

Hi.

I went to the protest. I've been continuously employed for the last 15 years.

Your perception of the typical protestor could not be more wrong.

Why?

Billionaires make more money when inflation is high, and everyday people spend more money when inflation is high.

High inflation shifts wealth upwards.

I also support the community ostracizing them and individuals punching them in the face for being Nazis and Klansmen.

Gonna go out on a limb here, and guess that people living in a cabin where the electricity only works a few hours a week aren't going to buy an electric car.

As for access to public chargers... I just spent the weekend in a rural area and had no problem finding a charger within 20 miles of me.
