Is Schumer still hanging around? Are you expected to be taken seriously with that guy in leadership?

I never drop dumbells in a public gym. It is a full on safety risk. My home gym, with my own dumbells, on my thick horse stall rubber mats? Sure, I will go for that last impossible rep there and dump them with reckless abandon while crying to the heavens at an unnecessary volume.

Yep. And fire is hot.

"The white genes. Whatever that is. Not like jeans. Everybody thinks its jeans you wear on your legs but it's not. They are learning all about the genes. The good genes. Pants are good too, but its not that. But we do have the best jeans. Levi's. Those are also good jeans."

I think it's like that.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
A stupid bigot. Just utterly stupid.
He is so stupid it is physically painful to witness.

The U.S. is lost when it stops empowering people at home and abroad through healthy democratic processes. It is lost when it sparks wars with little to no justification rather than working to prevent them. It is lost when the world's first constitutional democracy aligns with vicious dictators.

Yeah, that's part of the business plan for many of these companies. Impose passively applied punishments for leaving them. In a consumer friendly country this would be considered an anti-trust issue. Its the main reason I stopped doing anything with Apple. Gatekeeping. You own nothing; all on loan.

They are likewise unintelligent and obnoxious.

It was a harbinger of the descent of the GOP into utter stupidity. He normalized "anti-intellectualism" in politics. He and Cheney were the first major confluence of ignorance and evil. It got us Iraq. The last illegal military calamity. Then Palin and the rejection of McCain/Romney...here we are.

I think a lot of people overlook that:
'War' is mass murder, mass robbery, mass assault, mass arson, mass illness, and mass rape. It tears apart social control. It destabilizes. Some of this is reported. Most of it isn't.
Without a damn good reason for it, starting a war is THE biggest crime.

I say we double down in casting the GOP as the party of and for idiots. It is a great way to know if you are an idiot. Do you vote for the GOP?
Let people sort themselves.
We have a better chance of getting MAGA idiot voters with this approach than by legitimizing GOP voters as reasonable.

Are you assuming he doesn't know? Are you assuming he cares?

There are so many things wrong with this. Even IF it was true, starting a major shooting war because of foiled attempts on a President is still very wrong. Its almost like they don't know they have other tools. And most presidents would not use the U.S. military as a personal security force.

So many U.S. citizens are divorced from reality. Insulated from the consequences of the militarism they project abroad. They don't sense the reality of what is happening. It's a form of entertainment where they want bigger explosions, more chaos, and deeper drama...just like they expect from movies.

He had a stroke and it cooked part of his brain. He became MAGA.
That is all you need to know about how deranged MAGA is...he had a stroke- brain damage, and 'saw the light'.

It seems that Amazon is the one people are most resistant to dropping. It is arguably the easiest too. I mean, 90% of stuff they sell you can get direct from other websites...which is just about as convenient.

I don't want to live in Japan. I don't like everything about it BUT the massive and generalized respect for public spaces, such as but not limited to cleaning up your dogs poo is something we need more of.

This is what it looks like to fear having to admit you are/were dead wrong.
I believe most people would rather risk serious physical injury than publicly admit fault on a topic they were vocal about.

Don't call his supporters stupid. That would hurt their feelings as they cheer on a child rapist.

11.03.2026 21:40 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Would they stop booing and cheer for him if he told them how much he enjoyed raping little kids? Is that who goes to a Trump event these days? Child Rape Tailgaters?

11.03.2026 21:37 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

And his big crime is not letting Trump rape kids with impunity.

I hope they don't do that to influence U.S. elections!

Remember when Congress told the President to release all the Epstien files and it didn't happen and Congress took no steps to enforce it?
That was pretty weird.

I know its interesting, but at this point I only care about wins. Don't care how close a Dem loses by.
I get the implications, but if it ain't a 'W', it isn't worth celebrating.
I mean, the GOP is child raping criminal traitorous trash...so any win for them anywhere is a gut-punch.

Has there ever, in the last 2,500 years of human history been a more stupid set of authoritarians to either seize or be handed power?
I think 21st century USA holds the honor of rolling over for the biggest bunch of dipshits in recorded history.

Yes. Agree.
But the fact people voted this guy in is the kind of stupidity that is hard to correct for.
Stupid begets stupid.

Shia Islam has been around for well over a thousand years. I don't think they are going anywhere soon and especially not because an amoral Western pedophile throws things that go boom at them. I mean, martyrdom is a celebrated part of the Shia branch of Islam.
Yeah, this is what pedo-idiots do.
