He'll be having a cheeseburger in paradise by then. There's no way that unhealthy guy makes it to 2028.

I think it's more that he doesn't give a shit what happens because he can only be elected for one more term. Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone except himself, on other words. And even he's smart enough to know he's lucky if he's got four more years of health left in him. Cholesterol is the only thing holding him together.

Doesn't count if you're on their "team." For now, anyways.

Well, we have a lot less faith today thanks to Eileen Cannon and the majority of the rigged SCOTUS.

That was so Republicans could go after Democrats. It's totally different now that Daddy Trump is being held accountable for his crimes.

Fake news.

Maybe it's the meaning. Just looked it up: Mildred means "gentle strength." I'm warming up to it.

You want the reason we're down voting you and the post? Because anyone undecided is a fucking moron so we don't give a shit what they think. Same with those voting for Trump.

Security guy sacrificed himself with the flying body block. Pretty impressive!

You're the only one doing a dumb dance by defending Israel in their land grab and genocide. And if I was a Palestinian in Gaza I'd damn sure be fighting against the IDF invading my land, raping my sisters and killing my children.

It got it wrong. That's a lowercase "p."

Our current political structure and the two party system makes even the best politician look feeble.
I'm not sure how to do it but represent.us proposes to fix it in the near future (if we all bought in, I suppose).

One thing that sticks out on that sit is that whether all of voters agree or very few of us agree on a policy there's about a 30% chance of the policy becoming law.

It goes without saying that the rich and corporations benefit from the current system. It will be tough to change. And makes our system pretty pathetic in practice.

There's an ice cream store in Rehoboth, DE that makes you sign a waiver before eating their ghost pepper ice cream. (It was hot but not sign a waiver hot).

Well, he sure knows his base.

Yes, we do want the rich and politicians to be held accountable.

I wonder why a rich politician would say such a thing.

At least this shit reminded me to turn off the annual auto renewal for my online family membership.

Yeah, Roku must be on its last legs with the crap they're pulling. All of this says to me: don't buy Roku.

Someone posted this link in another thread. The site has ranked choice voting among other things as ways to fix the US political system. Which at times has seemed so broken to me that I believed only a revolution could fix. The site talks about starting local and is optimistic that we could fix it democratically and over the next decade or so (I don't remember the timeline, just that it seemed quicker and with less drastic measures than I assumed would be needed). https://represent.us/

Bonus, Jennifer Lawrence is involved and in the initial information video.

Something that did stand out was that, currently, whether a policy had 0% public support or 100% public support there was only about 30% chance of the policy/law getting passed. And that 70% of a politicians time was spent raising money to get elected.

I hope Republicans get behind it and reap benefits too. Rescheduling shouldn't end up another political victim like health care was.
