So long as he keeps this shit up, I’m still rooting for his Lowtax Speedrun

Hm, Africa, the Caribbean, Indochina, all bloodily plundered by, lessee here… ah yes, the people of the Nordic countries

[yes I know nobody is innocent and the Sami would have some words but come the fuck on now]

More like return2breakingdownthefactoryowner’sdoorandbeatinghimtodeathinfrontofhisfamily, right? Woof that’s a mouthful, maybe not. But still,

Who the hell cares, so long as it leads to some fundamental changes

If it is adopted we can refer to it as babby's first socialism, right before the c-suites are rightfully purged and execs replaced with the workers on the floor

I’ve been predicting it for years that that’s what will happen

As were Graham’s Crackers, my dear boy

We still don’t buy Kellogg’s over that, and now they’ve only provided more grist for the mill

Ah, ol’ Dan “Rant in Comic Sans” Gilbert… he also owns like half of Detroit doesn’t he?

I was all about the EX30 until I learned that pretty much everything is controlled through the touchscreen, including the goddamn windows. That was the dealbreaker.

I plan on something electrified for my next car, as manuals are dying out and I think that if you drive something with an automatic, it may as well at least be a hybrid. If I go with a PHEV I’d consider the Prius Prime or the Niro PHEV. Maybe a used Polestar 2 if I go for a full BEV, or an Ioniq 5 if it’s not susceptible to the Hyundai/Kia TikTok challenge (not being in the market right now I’ve never read up on it).

I’d only consider Tesla if, first, they oust The Boer, and second, if either they lower prices to match the build quality or upgrade the build quality to match the price. I won’t hold my breath. Tesla may be the best at EVs, but they aren’t great at, you know, cars.

Target, I presume?

I loved that movie, how weird it was compared with The Wizard of Oz. I think I may be one of only a few people our age who wasn’t terrified by it. Now, that one scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, on the other hand, I wasn’t ready…

Hi I’m Pritchard, you can call me Prick

Nah, they all go to developing countries, along with the tshirts that have the championship game losers printed on them

This A+ civics genius over here seems to be forgetting all the millennials that went to Iraq and Afghanistan, and when we (the US government) inevitably set up another meat grinder overseas, then there will be a bunch of “today’s youth” getting killed over there just like she wants. Christ.

Whoever wins, let’s hope it’s a Pyrrhic victory

Correction: Trump supporters will likely run out of legal defense funds by summer

Trump isn’t running out of anything, unless you count whatever hall leads to the bathroom, in which he won’t make it in time

Yeah, there is definitely no Michael in this family, because anyone with a good head in their shoulders actually did manage to leave the family before being caught in their miasma of chaos and grift

[season 4 Michael disappointed me so much]

I remember when they’d demand that American Muslims denounce Islamic terrorists, as if many didn’t already

Do as I say, blah blah blah snore

Patton wanted to push onward and take the fight to the Soviets after the defeat of the Reich, and iirc he was amenable to joining forces with the Nazis. Or I could be thinking of Churchill and Operation Unthinkable, I don’t know. Either way, people were a-okay to cozy up with right-wing authoritarians to fight left-wing authoritarians (or just the left in general, I guess), and that continued all throughout the Cold War, from Latin America to Central Asia, so you can’t be far off, if not just right.

When your customer base has main character syndrome, none of that matters, go hog wild
