The words we've been using before -- fascists, neonazis, dictators -- oddly enough seem to make Republicans laugh at Democrats because we make them sound scary/we sound scared. Calling them weird trivializes them, and reduces them to barely under creepy uncle status. Calling them weird stings because they think themselves the epitome of normal -- they think they're the "real" Americans, not the aberrant ones.

Apparently they are the unmovable kind. Set in stone, unable to swivel and take video of this very large crowd being pushed away from them. They cannot follow, alas

Goddammit. I wasn't aware of this about Dvorak. Wtf is wrong with people, indeed.

Similar situation, occasional Dem donor getting donation requests from every Democrat running in every state. It's annoying and I tend to unsubscribe but have occasionally reported as spam. I prefer to donate to more high stakes races.

I'm 2 decades younger than Trump, got into a bike accident over a year ago, taking a deep scrape on my shin, and I still have a scar.

He comes from the era when politicians were civil to each other even if they vehemently disagreed. Well before Newt Gingrich started characterizing Democrats as evil.

Those are suckers and losers in Trump's rotten brain.

If Trump gets elected, I'm pretty sure Biden's going to get a kangaroo court trial on some garbage charge and be sent to prison.

That phrase "Don't let perfect get in the way of good" is our stumbling block. We want our candidate to support everything we support and no less. Friggin' Trump is a rapist, a traitor, a racist, etc., but if he says he wants let's say Christianity to be the national religion, the Christians are like "Hey he supports us, we'll vote for him," and completely ignore everything else. Single issue, boom, they're in. The left needs to value unity over their individual issues right now.

Fi makes it pretty clear that use outside the US is meant to be temporary (unless you're on military duty overseas). The person you replied to got a really long run and honestly has no cause for complaint.

It's kind of a shame, dude is clearly mentally ill but there's no mention in the article of any attempts to treat it. Just straight to jail. If anything it's just going to worsen in prison and probably end up murdering someone and/or getting murdered.

The really bonkers ones get even more exclusive, where other Christians that aren't their same little sect are going to hell, even Catholics.

Thanks, yes they did misunderstand. If 57 is the "real" price I'm effectively paying for 1 year of service and getting 2. Also there are no penalties for cancellation after the first year, so if i wanted to go through the trouble of finding another ISP, I could walk away then.

I'd love to see a comeback of vehicles like 1980s Toyota and Mazda pickups. Just a bit taller than sedans, good sized bed. I never understood the popularity of trucks that almost need a mini ladder to get into when they're being used strictly in an urban or suburban setting.

Honestly, these "promises" never last. I had ATT at $50/mo for home internet service and was promised it would never go up. Last year it went to $60 and this year $65. I just switched to Xfinity. More Mbps than ATT, promotional price of $20/mo for a year, it goes up to 35 for year 2, then after that the promotion is over and it's $57. After the 3rd year ends it will probably go up, but they've basically given me 1 free year of internet.

I'm okay with it too. It adds context. If they referred to her as "she" describing the period she was a married father with kids it could be confusing.

I scanned a ton of my mom's family photos after she passed, and uploaded them to Google Photos. It's a bit shocking how good it is at guessing the same person at different ages, even 20+ years' difference.

Kaiser, which is a major hmo here in California, has been putting solar panel parking shade in their lots. The community college in my town has it too. I can't think of any downsides to them other than the installation cost. Everyone likes shade from sun and rain, and free electricity.

Assassinated by Dark Brandon's laser eyes no doubt

Yeah, the R's are the ammosexuals. They're so afraid that libruls will take their guns away that they stockpile them. I know a couple Dems who collect guns as a hobby, but I think most of us who own have just one or two for the purpose of self/home defense.
