It may not matter to you, but I for one will never vote for him for president again.

Trust me it's not weird at all. I've lived in bigger cities in nine states, every single one of those had severe limitations when it came to any pets unless they were fish. Some areas are more lenient than others but I had a hell of a time finding a place that would except a medium sized dog in every single city and never once did I not pay an additional deposit as well as additional "pet rent"

This is right where I am. The funny (and ofren annoying) part is, if I talk with someone from either side they automatically assume I'm the polar opposite of them. People on the far left thing I'm a trump loving maga hat wearing Republican because I don't love Biden or a lot of the democratic policies. People on the right think I'm left wing extremist that wants to abort all babies and murder Jesus Christ with the LGBTQ+ militia because I don't love everything Republican. You simply cannot exist in the middle with most people. I can't get these people to realize I just hate all of them lol

Lmao no idea why but Eupaf Peslpbent got me. No Offense Herbert is fantastic too

Party pooper

I've seen a few now and every time I can't help but think that it's like what a 4 year old with a marker and paper trying to draw a truck from memory would look like in real life.

1.5 and we're just getting started! Let's goooooo! It's incredible what humans can do when we work together 🔥👏🏻🔥👏🏻🔥

I think the key thing is most people don't like change. They know stroads. They may not love stroads but they work and it's what they've used. I've been all over the place in this country and by and large public transportation SUCKS and creates more headaches than anything. Just hopping into a car is 1000x easier. So that's the view I think most people go into this with. In the cities where public transportation is good, it's a complete game changer, but they are few and far between so most people don't have a good reference point. They see people pushing public transportation and think of their own shitty system and say F that.

That sounds kinda heretical to me ngl

I feel like this CONSTANTLY happens and people just eat it. Prices skyrocket. Then they stop rising or maybe even dip a little but still remain way higher than they originally were and... Problem solved! It's stabilized! In fact prices are DROPPING! huzzah!

Makes me wonder if people are really this easily fooled or are they all just being ignored? Lol

How dare you. Just for one second think of someone other than yourself. How do you think the pharmaceutical companies are gonna feel about that? Or their poor shareholders? Pfizer's CEO only made $33 million last year. How the hell do you expect him to feed his kids when he's not making that much because your precious healthcare system ate into his meager earnings. The medical corporations are barely scraping by!!

I haven't played nearly all of these but the ones I have played are absolutely dynamite. I suspect this is a killer list

good lord. yes, i know about the 14th amendment. that's why he's not on the Colorado ballot. The problem is (like a ton of things in the constitution) it is outrageously vague. It doesnt clarify who is supposed to invoke it, or when, as in before or after a person is elected. the state court could use it, or congress. If the state uses it, it can easily be appealed to supreme court (which it already has in this case, and more than once). The supreme court since 1866 has still never ruled on the meaning or application of the insurrection clause. It has been used before, but (to my knowledge) only three times prior. One was via impeachement, one was just after being elected, one was barred from running. The impeached guy was a judge and never tried to run again. The other two appealed the 14th amendment ruling to the supreme court, they both won, and both ran again and both took office. All that to say, it is not a sturdy leg to stand on and certainly doesn't make it automatically illegal for someone to run. If it did, he would not be running. If the supreme court votes that the 14th should be invoked then it would be illegal. Lastly, i would urge you to calm the fuck down man. Damn. You all are ornery as fuck around here. I don't like the man any more than you do but i am just stating the law. As it stands at this very moment, the idiot can legally run.

i feel like we are in complete agreement here but for some reason you don't think so. I agree the country is troubled. I agree there is a big portion of the voter base that will vote for someone unfit for presidency. I agree there's also a decent portion that are ignorant or don't really care what happens. I agree conservative voters can't be trusted and may cause issues if they lose power.... which means they can't be trusted... unless you're saying conservatives aren't American voters somehow?

lol it's not me. I feel like i'm taking crazy pills here. It's the law of the US. There is NO disqualification of a candidate based on criminality. Again, criminal conviction does NOT affect eligibility or candidacy. Do you think i made the law or something? All i'm saying is any person can run regardless of their criminal record according to the constitution. I'm not quite sure why you are mad at me here...

Are you legitimately saying it's illegal to vote for a candidate on the ballot if they are a convicted criminal? This is factual incorrect. A candidate must be at least 35 years old, born in the US and have lived there for at least 14 years. I think some states don't allow felons to run for state and local positions but there aren't any limitations based on your character or criminal record to run for federal office. Hell you can run from president WHILE in prison if you want. Tiger King did it last election and i believe is planning to run again this year haha. so not only can you run, obviously just voting for and electing them is not illegal...

lmao who in the holy hell am i apologizing for? I'm just saying you would think the american voters would never in a million years vote for someone like trump. You would think that it wouldn't matter if he was on the ballot because he is so far from adequately filling the station of president that the american voters wouldn't even give that candidate a second thought on account of... well pretty much everything but let's go with criminality. the fact that he needs to be barred otherwise he would win the election or come very close is absolutely bonkers. Also, the fact that you not only disagree with the fact that the crux of the problem is the american voter simply cannot be trusted while also calling that apologizing for trump is so crazy

haha yup. now it's like a shitty sequel where everything is worse but it still gets made somehow and somehow people pay to see it.

This is my thing. I feel like barring anyone shouldn't be necessary. I would imagine if a giant, annoying sack of shit runs for office, they just wouldn't even come close to winning. They should be able to run given virtually any circumstance and if they're a terrible person or a criminal, the voters (ideally) would just not vote for that person. The situation we're currently in is just wild.

AI apparently doesn't appreciate cheese on pizza. Despicable. That pizza needs 300% more cheese.
