They're only people when it's convenient for the voting/election rights of the rich people who own them.....so actually a lot like slaves.

The Pinakothek spokesperson said the painting had been hung in the early hours and spotted by staff soon after the museum opened the same day.

For some reason I was really hoping he got away with it for a little while.

"Not fact checking" and "spewing objectively dumb shit" are not the same thing.

Someone should do something about the holes in the schoolhouse roof.

I think the simplest explanation here is that they're getting it from their voters....who are getting it from Russian propaganda, but they just don't care so long as they get reelected.

The question that I don't see answered here is whether they are removing troops to deescalate, or to make room for aggressive bombing runs.

They're afraid of the ramifications of putting him in jail. I'm afraid of the ramifications of not...

If I purchase a TV, that I now own, and after I own it the company "updates" my TV that I now have to watch ads in order to use the TV I purchased without that condition?

At minimum it's a breach of contract

This behavior makes a lot of sense if you consider she knows she's going to lose reelection, and is trying to enjoy the gravy train, while keeping her name 'relevant' (with the crazies) for her imminent shift to far right talk show host.

This is the sort of stuff that immediately makes me think of the start of Idiocracy.

Increasing profit margins....which is the thing our society puts above all else.

Absolutely correct. 'Were' isn't even a pronoun.

I guess this is true for me in the sense that his toxic business culture makes me confident that his companies are rushing products and cutting corners wherever they can to that end. Not a quality I like in a vehicle....

They're weirder than the guy measuring cicada pee strength?

Well, somebody made money...

This is like half the plot of that Seth Rogan movie with the pickles.

The people not voting against Trump.

And supporting Trump is like lighting the rest of the ship on fire so people will start paying attention to the problem.

What’s your suggestion to make them listen to their base instead of chasing voters who have never voted D and just straight ticket vote R?

Split ticket voting. Local elections, local primaries, down ballot votes. We need a generational shift in party leadership. Party leaders generally start as smaller/more local candidates. If you have a strong roster of "up and coming" progressives winning primaries and elections those progressives get more power and sway in the party as they win bigger offices.

I think it would send largely the same message you want without the global harm to have Biden stuck with a Republican legislature. They are still bad, but Trump is the cult leader and the actual danger.

Very much disagree. It seems you're suggesting that the fallout from another Trump presidency will lead to better long term results than a second Biden presidency?

What happens to Ukraine after you stick it to the man and support Trump? Nobody is learning the lesson you want them to. You're supporting a dictatorship through cynicism. You can be mad at more than one group. DNC could be doing more. Biden could be doing more. Normal voters acting like helping a literal traitor back into office is the better alternative could be doing better.

Like it or not (I don't), we are stuck with the two choices. Helping the guy who literally says he wants to be a dictator is illogical in every context. If you actually care, volunteer in local elections and donate to candidates that support your views, help create a strong next generation of progressive democrat candidates.
