The blood of thousands is already on their hands
I am starting to think that Bibi has fallen for the propaganda we've all been fed about the unlimited resources of our military
Thank you β₯οΈ
Mind blowing they thought this was going to just work out for them?? Like Adobe did with artists, they are directly and specifically biting the hand that feeds them
How are you? I know you've been struggling.
I'm really exhausted from freaking out about this war/the economy, learning my dog is probably in her last months, and getting tragic news about a friend yesterday.
Well this explains some things for me this morning
Good I'm glad someone is saying this - the broad ideas are popular but he is doing the opposite of what people think he stands for; if you put scrutiny on those ideas his beliefs are batshit. People hear "oh get all the bad stuff out of my food" and he'll be like "yeah like the vegetables!"
Everyone is taking this as really haunting news and I'm taking it as excellent news that they know their days are numbered and they're appropriately afraid of the American people. That's public US property they'll lose access to at some point, hopefully sooner than later
Deep down they are doing this all for likes
Talking to a population of people that shits their pants at the idea of acpoor person buying soda with government money

Lol I meant I've never heard of it outside our general area haha
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
And their math explanation is like "well it always cost more so the city's subsidy stayed the same" but that makes no sense, unless the trash contractors didn't reduce their price! Which...Bad contract!
I also thought 2x was overkill though haha. Price aside I've never heard of that anywhere else
JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.
Dem Bobbi Boudman has won todayβs special election, NHJournal reports.
(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)
This is Demsβ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

And yet rather than becoming alarmed that Trump had suddenly and obviously developed a childlike belief he can determine the leadership of any nation, our whole political class continued in its conviction that there is some kind of deeper strategy underneath it. "Maybe it's about constraining China"
It's maddening because his fundamental stupidity is obvious in quite literally every public statement he makes. He doesn't understand half the words he reads off teleprompters, evinces no familiarity with very basic concepts, and regularly asserts completely inane nonsense.
The Price is Right except rich people have to guess how much shit in the grocery store costs
No one knows how money works at the store better than poor people
Mom read the nutrition labels and calculated calories per dollar so we could stretch our foodstamp money.
I actually think this is the quickest way to produce new communists
He was a Democrat who was State Treasurer of Louisiana immediately after Katrina and did a lot of good work around investigating fraud and restructuring state debts after the storm. If you watch the documentary Big Charity your mind will be blown by his evolution. www.bigcharityfilm.com
Beside the point but this has to just be like an instant diarrhea situation right
PROTEIN MAXXING AND GRAIN MAXXING
Boots for you!!
The price of oil started dropping as soon as news broke that Trump called the war "very complete." In my opinion it's all vibes and cope.
LOL that's good. I did get fake Melissa's store credit to Halara from a return she made so that's something haha.

I used to work a public-facing job where I would have to get potential customer's emails from them over the phone or via an online signup form, and lemme tell you people DO NOT know their own emails. I would say like 1/20 were just wrong, all the time.
