I'm a weird guy

I agree, and also think a stupid stunt is a poor way to reach better wages. It's just a way to placate the masses.

I do avoid most sales. They're either a lie using a fake regular price, or a low quality product that didn't sell, so they taking a loss to get rid of it. Either way, not worth my time. I shop for quality products that meet my needs when I need them, not when they're on sale.

Doesn't matter, the money is nothing to me, it's simple principle. I also don't use store cards or coupons.

I don't like paying people just to do the job they're already paid for, and I think it's bad for society to promote it.

Well hell, wish I'd known this when they dropped off a bunch of flat pack desks. I'm not tipping the guy that just dropped off a kitchen spoon.

I'm sure this will just be a misunderstanding that will be cleared up in no time. Let me know when that happens.

... I'll be in my bunker.

Russia wouldn't really matter in the equation. China, Brazil, Mexico, Canada would be the main players. They don't like each other, and have some serious diplomatic issues of their own, but could easily agree to stand together in self interest. Pulling in any other major US trading partners would also help all of them.

What the US wants and what's good for other countries are not the same things.

BRICS, Canada and Mexico should be making a trade treaty right now, before Trump even takes office.

They need a unified front against Trump's trade war. Even if that means working with China.

Time for that media to go as bankrupt as their principles.

It's not much better in the North. Self segregation is alive and well, along with massive funding disparities in school districts.

People need to stop asking if they're going to confirm him and start asking senators why they're voting for a pedophile. Where is the line too far? At what point does appeasing Trump become a threat to the nation?

There is never a path for the speaker of the house to become vice president. Either the President and Vice President are dead and he's president, or he's still just the speaker.

As others have pointed out, before or after the electoral count is completed, makes a minor difference. It would be interesting to watch it play out.

It has informed legislators that laws they otherwise might support, have racially biased flaws. That's pretty much the sum total of it's influence on anything.

It's not a policy question it's a media question. The right started taking over news media the day Nixon resigned. Repealing the Fairness doctrine, ending League of Women voters debates, propping up Fox news, and Sinclair media buying out all the local stations. That's the decades long community goal they've been running. The left needs to understand it, and how to fight it, because MSNBC isn't doing it.

It's lack of direct evidence. Trump operates like a mafia boss. No paper trail, always use euphemisms for direct action, use intermediaries for voice communication. That's why everyone around him got caught and prosecuted, but he didn't. The entire case would be hearsay interpretations. Federal guidelines wouldn't let a prosecutor take that to trial. Usually in that case they go for intimidation to get a confession, which doesn't work on a megalomaniac narcissist.

Don't stop a damn thing, put a billboard up for every victim.

If he's using AI scraping, we should set up bots that invent other Trump family members as orangutans. Also label all cat and dog photos as the opposite. All insect pictures labeled as republican or conservative.
