Up to ten years in jail for about $20,700.

Everyone needs a hobby, I suppose.

Seems like a bigger waste of time to just end up engaging with people who can vault over pictures, but can't handle nuance.

Start the discussion on an intellectual level, and those who can't grasp it can go read until they're ready to talk.

Or they can go find someone else who will argue with cartoons or whatever, I'm sure they'll be happier there.

Makes sense. As a grown adult, I also require overly simplistic illustrations in order to grasp concepts.

That's a very difficult concept for them to understand. The mental gymnastics I've seen them use to excuse or defend genocide has been wild.

By just saying, "I don't want to endorse a genocide." sends them into a frothing rage, with arguments immediately fired against the right. They see it as 'us vs. them', but fail to see that people don't want to endorse a genocide no matter the color of the party.

I'm sure it would hit other things, but prioritizing fusing on decoys would be pretty funny.

Depends, did you engineer the decoy or the missile?

A coworker actually referred to trump as daddy once. Out of dead silence, he said to another coworker, "You know, daddy is gunna be in the area soon." I continued to evesdrop, as I wanted to hear who coworker #2 thought of as 'Daddy' with no context. He hesitantly said the names of a few managers in confusion, and the first guy corrected him and mentioned it was the former president.

Ah gotcha. I didn't see it as the two being equal in their levels of out of touchness. No discussion is required on Trump's level of disconnection with the common person. Hopefully they'll make him dig his grave with the golden spoon he was born with.

Harris is certainly out of touch, and while not at the same level as Trump, she's certainly closer to him than she is to us, despite whatever summer job she's had.

If you'll allow an interpetation of their comment, it read to me as them saying Trump and Harris are similarly out of touch with the common workers.

Harris even said that she only worked there for a summer to earn some extra pocket money, no one was relying on her income for housing or to be fed.

It's certainly a far cry from people working a fast food job as a second or third job to keep their kids fed, which I believe to be the people she's trying to connect with, which I see as disingenuous.

If it's even true she worked there, I wouldn't put it past a politician to lie about something like that to connect with common workers. Kinda like that republican who borrowed a family to take pictures.

But for the sake of the discussion, let's say it is true. A summer job is still not the same as the reality of wage slavery that many people are suffering through, which Harris did not.

Getting downvoted for what? You're not wrong.

It's called the Ratchet effect. Republicans move everything to the right, dems keep if from moving back left.

How many leopards does it take to eat the faces of all the people who made those desicions in those cities?

Solar systems only got the one star.

I only read the headline, but I don't wanna die because some bands make it impossible to buy their music on shitty, poorly designed websites.

I wanna know how he got named Charlie when he has a big M on his forehead.

It's an ad

Times are tough for everyone, even addicts. Maybe pushing off the next hit for a roof over their heads is saving lives. I'd suck a dick for Cracker Barrel, though.

People can barely afford to eat, too. Lack of income for the general American is going to impact all areas, not just dining out and jewelry.
