They can't really do anything to a filibuster.

There is nothing that dumpy is doing that cannot be undone or re-done by a future president.

Relying on a president that changes every 4-8 years to make overwhelming changes is going to cause a lot of issues. If we thought government was dysfunctional before, just wait until it's maliciously dysfunctional.

3 years and 356 days.

It aint much but it's something.

Antarctica, clearly.

HQ wise: Musk exited to Texas.

Oracle is in Texas.

Microsoft is in Washington.

Amazon is in Washington.

Google, FB and Nvidia are in CA.

The tech bros don't want to hire people in CA because salaries are too high. They do because that's where a lot of coding talent is, but they also tend to have offices all over the world and produce as much work as possible offshore where labor costs are minimized. It's why basically nothing is manufactured in CA, let alone the US. When things are manufactured here it's almost always in places that use the $7.25 federal minimum wage, not states with a $16.50 minimum wage or where transportation costs are prohibitively expensive compared to local labor.

Every major decision in this country seems to end up going the way the wealthy want.

They definitely want this to have maximum punishment to deter copycats.

This will never happen. You won't find a jury in the country that will unanimously give a not guilty verdict. Best case is a hung jury twice in a row leading to a mistrial. Worst case they find one of the loopholes that lets the judge decide or they unanimously declare him guilty.

They don't worry about all the school shootings because their kids go to private school which is a big reason why nothing is done (24 private school shootings vs 392 public school shootings for the past 25 years or so.) The working class families are the victims, so nobody in power really cares beyond lip service.

I'm fine with prices going sky high so long as we are eliminating exploited labor.

The reality is though these folks will seek jobs elsewhere and without any social safety nets they are in for some harsh times. I can only hope they have enough friends and family here to make it.

Been there. Cheaper than Boston but not really cheap.

Image is from 8 months ago of the 1200 NE Broadway, Portland, OR 97232 location. It's 9.99 for a cheeseburger. 4.49 for a little fry. 2.09 for a regular drink. $16.57 even considering 0% sales tax in portland.

I'm over a year ahead of you. Dumped prime when they announced ad tier is default for streaming.

The downside is waiting 2-3 extra days for them to ship something you order, if you do order through amazon. They make sure to not release any order whatsoever without prime for days to entice you to bribe them for standard service.

because saying 0-10% 11%-20% 21%-30% 31%-40% 41%-50% 51%-60% 61%-70% 71%-80% 81%-90% 91%-100% would create a label so fucking long.

It's implied that each grouping is the top 10% and bottom 10% of each 20% range, to me anyway.

More expensive in Atlanta than the one I linked.

Dallas TX has even higher prices than atlanta.

No idea what kind of "west coast" area you're in that things are cheap. Usually COL is nuts there... but the coast is thousands of miles so...

Or maybe you are fat and want large fries, burger and a shake. $25.11

Or maybe you think a "cheeseburger" is too big. Let me get you the smallest combinations of fry+burger+drink on the whole menu. $17.30 here.

a normal person would have a hard time eating more than 15$ of five guys.

on behalf of Israel

Not exactly a good argument to discredit them saying it is not a nazi salute. An organization working on behalf of israel is unlikely to support nazi behaviors, no?

I'm not making any claims about the ADL beyond having some serious doubt that they would go along with nazi-ism.

Doesn't work because the legal body is republican controlled. Only republican choices are above the law.

The only lesson they could learn from this is that they weren’t conservative enough.

I don't think this is even remotely the lesson.

The right wingers already go on social media spouting that "the libs" are socialist, sure, but that's just because it's what their media tells them.

The lesson should be that propaganda wins elections, not logical answers. You have to appeal to quick witty replies with even more quick witty replies. You have to use loads of smoke and mirrors to promise outcomes without any tangible methodologies.

The democrats should promise to fund the military... and then use the military funding for humanitarian ends like we did with covid vaccines. The line item looks great to dummy middle america voters to say "wow the democrats want a strong military" even though the spending really is to build homes for the poor or provide subsidized healthcare through federal military pop up hospitals (with contracted civilian doctors.)

You have to literally provide handouts about a year out from election time to subsidize a topic like gas prices leading up to the election. The day the elections are over you can remove all of those things and start replenishing it... so release that strategic reserve big time. Focus on extra subsidies in places where you can actually win the vote, so fuck deep red and deep blue. Hate to say it... the battleground is all that matters.

If you want to appeal to the common voter it can't be by pushing for educational values or refunds for people with degrees. It has to be refunds for people with high grocery bills, high utility costs. Hell, remove the SALT deduction entirely in the name of "small government" because that's one thing even lower class republicans think would be a bad move to raise... but this is still way too detailed for the ignorant voting masses to grasp... so you should probably say you are going to lower taxes rather than say you're upping it for billionaires. The latter is always assumed even though it never actually happens.

Bring out all the news about how republicans are actually raising taxes. How they actually result in higher gas costs, higher housing costs, higher grocery costs. Why the fuck "Tariffs" weren't brought out as MASSIVE tax increases for the common working person is bewildering to me! Dumpy loves tariffs but describe it in simple terms as a tax - IMPORT TAX - and suddenly it will be very unpopular. "Dumpy says tariffs are good!!!!" but the news is plastered with "import taxes called tariffs"... why are they raising taxes again? for common hard working people? "You mean i'm gonna have to pay more money at the grocery store AND the pump??!?!?!?"

Campaigning on city values isn't working because the battleground states aren't uber dense. You have to appeal to the rural people with promises that can be delivered in the short term and that will cost them in the long term, because they are HORRIBLE at gauging long term impact. They can only remember what just happened and what is happening now. Dumpy is promising that the future will be great, why are you promising that things are gonna be tough? Things are tough right now for most people, why are you saying that the economy is great? I know by many metrics we are succeeding but the complexity of economics goes over almost everyone's head. Instead you should have been campaigning on the fact that dumpy lowered taxes on the rich and that the rich didn't fulfill their end of the bargain and are stealing all the money from the hard working middle americans.

No die hard blue state is going to vote red so it's time to abandon intelligent values for dummy propaganda. Let's fucking go.

Oh and on the sidelines talk about the real policy you want to implement akin to project2025 which actually has the real DNC agenda, just like how P2025 is the GOP agenda.

Just need an LCARS theme.

M.2 seems easier for normies to mess up and SD cards have traditionally been significantly cheaper... plus a microSD card is smaller than M.2 by an order of magnitude.

Too bad he's not around to testify. They did a great job of murdering him behind bars.
