Ah much small government, telling others what to do and intruding on one's conversation with their doctor.

Such individual freedom!

Omg yes I'd drink SO much soy milk. Like, my already puny muscles would shrivel in the wake of such based alpha wolf assertion of dominance.

A fucking men.

Also Jeffries is not the face of the new generation. So inauthentic.

Here's hoping Europe continues to step up on behalf of Ukraine.

Fuck I am naively hoping elections in Germany and Canada go well...

I'm so sorry. That's so fucked up... I hope things are better now for you.

Unfortunately it works. We have to remember that their methodology is the reason why they have a massive audience in the first place. So we need to distinguish the marketing from the material.

Dems could learn a thing or two from Republicans on this front.

Not that we're undocumented or anything but bullying is yet another reason I'm homeschooling my kids. Fucking little shits. Nothing like Lord of the Flies blind-leading-the-blind mentality while the adults either endorse it (conservative fuckwits), or are too overworked to do anything about it.

A surprise half day at work. Outside, it's beautiful. Bonus if it goes into your weekend.

Ah... Doesn't everyone do that facial expression when they gesture, "my heart goes out to you!"?

Every time I see my mom, I tell ya...

Right I wouldn't trust opening an RT link. Kremlin-run trash.

That's 13.8 miles per hour. Faster than my commercial treadmill can go. I've run a half marathon and mostly focus on 5ks and I even hobby runners won't be able to sustain 13.8 mph for much more than a minute let alone 57...

Insane!

Bannon knows if they don't precisely fuck over the right people then the entire thing will backfire.

The dude is a complete fucking psychopath but he's right.

More evidence that Corporations are psychopaths in pathological pursuit of profit, just as Joel Bakan wrote.

I'm honestly fine with millionaires, especially those who actually produce something of value to society— and within the purview of a truly progressive tax system.

Millionaires != Billionaires. That is, there are three orders of magnitude difference between a million and a billion.

• 1 Million seconds is 11 days.
• 1 Billion seconds is nearly 32 years.

Finally, I'll take someone speaking the truth from their position of power than spreading lies and hate.

Edit:

As a bonus to drive the point home: compare when you double each of those values: 22 days vs. 64 years, and so on...

Moreover:

• 1 Trillion seconds is 31,709 YEARS.
• The known wealth of the 750ish billionaires in America (not counting corporate coffers and near-billionaires) is around 7 Trillion dollars.

Imagine what we could do as a nation with that sort of money just sitting at the top, going either unspent or toward wasteful garbage or political bribery.

Surely this will bring great stabilization to the region and totally not become fertile ground for radicalization for decades to come....

... Right?

I guess it's worth saying this for the apathetic and ignorant who might be in the transition phase of finding out, but we went past the point of the law mattering loooong ago.

But rest assured David Brooks says the courts will save us, surely!...

Nobody cared about boots on the ground when MAD Theory kept the Cold War cold.

Oh no! Never had a cellphone until I was an adult. Just his family's land-line.

I was just recently thinking that I barely know my own phone number or my wife's but I still know my childhood best friend's number instantly.

OR here's a thought — now hear me out — you don't because those charitable donations are a treatment of a symptomatic issue reflective of failed government policy to begin with. So if you really want to address the root cause and actually reshape the party from a top-down approach, then I encourage you follow my strategy.

Or you know, you can donate to both.

• The more money that goes to AOC, the greater her voice in the Democratic party.
• The greater her voice, the greater the progressive shift in the Democratic party.
• The greater the progressive shift in progressive economic populism, the better outcomes for Women's and LGBTQ+ rights.
