I switched my retirement portfolio bond allocations into precious metal indexes last year in anticipation for something like this. It turned into my best performing asset.

A huge chunk of Americans either don’t pay close attention or get their news through heavily propagandized sources.

Lol I was also confused, we can be dumb in solidarity today.

I feel like the matter isn’t as much about whether Democrats have the power to fight back and more about whether they have the balls to.

It’s like if Gandalf shrugged and said, “Huh, I guess not” and fucked off back to the Undying Lands leaving Middle Earth to fall to darkness.

I respect my community, not the authority that governs us.

It’s not even a stretch of the imagination to come to the idea that they’d say, “she disobeyed, therefore she deserved to die”.

They eagerly dehumanize anybody who diverges from their strict ideals. Remember how Kristi Noem admitted to shooting her dog dead because it behaved like the big untrained puppy that it was? She told that story because they believe that is a reasonable response to an untrained, young and full of energy dog being disobedient.

In their mind, Renee Good was no better and deserved no better than that dog.

It’s so dumb because they could so easily score some points by throwing him under the bus and saying, “no he crossed a line and should face justice” but no, they’ve got to be as evil as fucking possible like it’s compulsory.

She’s not wrong… But she’s also actively enabling him so she’s complicit in all this.

I guess what Trump actually meant by, “Drill, Baby, drill”

IIRC they even tried putting it in a separate room without a toilet and it still got poop particles on it.

Stripped and/or named to honor his victims instead

Trump doesn’t seem to understand that the existing presidential monuments were built posthumously and by popular opinion in order to honor exceptional leaders. His desperate attempts to plaster his name on random bullshit is pathetic. I hope once he finally kicks the bucket that we quickly rename these monuments to honor his victims. I wish he could be alive to see it.

The very fact that you’re getting downvoted here proves your point. Most working people love their cars and cheap meat and it offends them to suggest it’s a net negative on society.

I never pre-order. I broke that rule exactly once and pre-ordered No Man’s Sky, boy did they make a fool out of me. Never again.

There are plenty of games I play that are on early access, the qualifier is whether the game is in a playable state and is fun to play (by account of online reviews or friend’s recommendations).

S-S-SLAMMED!!

Walz started the trend and it resonated with and energized the base so much to the point where he surged to the spotlight from relative obscurity in a very short amount of time and ended up getting picked as running mate by the Harris campaign.

But then Harris’s campaign almost immediately pivoted to the classic strategy of, “damn our base, they’re going to vote for us anyway so instead let’s appeal hard to the right”, despite that consistently being a losing strategy over the last decade or so.

So they told Walz to shut up, just stand there and look pretty and cut it out with the “weird” stuff, it’ll alienate voters on the right. Turns out instead they just killed all the momentum growing within their own base while at the same time failing to win the votes of the weirdo cult members wearing ear pads in solidarity with their God king.
