That awkward moment when the feds freeze the assets of the oligarch most connected to Manafort and the Russian attack on out election and find Jarvanka's best friend living there instead.
ruh-oh :shifty:
thx, hadn't heard that news yet

whichever mod fixed the thread title, i swear a wookie life debt to you if you make yourself known :heart:
A Wookie life debt? That's serious biz! :D
Both... There's state tax that stays within the state, and there's federal tax that is spread throughout the country. Federal tax is more than state.


The irony, though, isn't that liberal cities are funding red states. The irony is that red states are actively supporting cutting taxes at extreme levels, the benefit of which disproportionately helps liberal cities and, in turn, cuts funding to red states.
hmm .. helps the liberal cities? Not if they use less revenue to the gov't as a further excuse to further shred the safety net. :sad:
Not sure it’s been discussed, guess we have another thread for it

But we have less than 10 years to get our shit together on the climate or by 2040, life is gonna really suck

As some one who marched in the 80's for renewable energies... :(
Not giving up hope (yet?) even w the orange clown around
 
The issue with Bernie is that he tends to be all-or-nothing, albeit not as much as his supporters. And that IS divisive in today’s world because it projects hostility towards progressives or liberals who are not progressive enough. And I am sorry but the orange abomination has got to go, and anybody who can’t put aside their blind devotion to some sort of purity test to ensure that we boot out the corrupt and utterly immoral GOP top to bottom can pound dirt.

What she said
 
A benevolent dictator in fascism has no enemies to suppress, in theory.

fascism can't exist without an enemy. why would society be militarized if there's no enemy (internal or external) to go to war against? whether it's immigrants, leftists, minorities, communists, or (((globalists))) a fascist can't exist without desiring to exterminate something by force.

i think maybe you meant something other than fascism there.

I did but I wanted to use the f word.
 
Those poor people in FL. I'm sure Trump has paper towels on standby. Good thing Mar A Lago won't be affected, maybe he could open it up to the public as a shelter.
 
the first "related" article in that is something with the headline "my family escaped socialism and now the democrats want to move the party in its direction", because fidel castro's cuba in the 1960s is totally like america in 2020, or something :rolleyes:

this is such a pile of fear mongering horse shit, and USA Today should be ashamed of themselves for publishing it.



the defenders of Democracy are supposed to be the free press and we the people.

Both are fucking failing. Bigly.

Free press wants clickbait

We the people only care when it affects us personally.

Maybe it’s time to become a monk. One that makes beer tho. The rest of the monk life can stay the same
 
When Kamala Harris asked Kavanaugh that question about any laws that the government has the power to make over the male body, that was quite a moment. She's impressive. I don't care how many female law clerks he hires, his stammering response to that question was lame and revealing.

It spoke volumes about the Senate that a woman had to be the one to ask him that question too. Not in a good way, obviously.
:ohmy: wow, I missed that! :|
as Wayne Travis would say "my ears blinked, and I missed it".

Yes, she is impressive.

Yes, really.
People who say to me in previous elections (re "purity" tests for Democrats) well if the Republican gets in office maybe the people will finally rise up.... :blahblah: (heard this during Nixon's time etc)

Never taking into account that so many more people would get sicker, die quicker , be homeless, more food insecure etc .
And the voter I was talking to would not answer me - they in a sense "volunteered" the more/most vulnerable to take the brunt of the potential outcome without their consent!

...or that he has the attention span to write something that long.
Heh. Sometimes that is a plus with such miserable current circumstances.
 
Of course.

Because we gals are so damn stupid that any vagina on the ticket will do.

Yeah, really. :|
That "vag" has got to be equipped with a lot of useful knowledge AND much guided by empathy for policy -making.
Unlike lack of knowledge for her job - Bestsy DeVoss. Ugh! Did u know her husband is/was? the head of Blackwater. (shudder)

Melania did an interview with ABC when she was in Africa. She says in the interview that she is the most bullied person in the world. When the reporter questioned that she said well one of the most. And that was her motivation to focus on cyberbullying and start her Be Best campaign.

Ironic since she's married to a person who loves to bully people. It's bizarre, the "logic".
