If you’re forcing such ridiculous binary choices the problem is you.

Conservatives haven’t had fiscal responsibility in probably near 50 years.

Yeah, fucking over some wageslave by making them clean that up really sends a message to the country. TF, man.

Yeah, could be that too.

I assume the left is two nuts. The right is a head over two boobs.

Stupidly cryptic, though.

That’s what that shit is? I though it was some generic weed I had a hard time getting rid of. Great. Another invasive to deal with. Just killed a tree of heaven the other day, too.

It has good parts and had a lot of bad parts. It was written centuries ago, so let’s take that framing into consideration. It was a worthwhile endeavor to pursue the good parts while amending the bad, directly or via modern courts. Unfortunately it’s been a backsliding battle against conservatives who selectively interpret it as “originalists”, like they selectively interpret their bible to enhance their power and pocketbook and ignore the parts that are inconvenient or get between them and money, and obstinately refuse change or would actively change it for the worse.

The most ironic part is that the countries that the US fought with in WW2 that had some absolutely awful leadership and governance were outfitted with relatively excellent frameworks to govern with postwar, Germany and Japan, while the US has been crippled with resting on its laurels and mulish refusal to take the lessons learned those endeavors to heart.

The First Amendment is gone.

Trump is openly retaliating against people who criticized him. Our constitution isn’t worth the crumbling paper it’s written on any more.

Right? That country started backsliding democratically a while ago. They’ve suffered from nationalism, populism, and conservatism that landed them essentially a right wing authoritarian. The fact that trump likes Erdogan should be warning enough that all is not well in Turkey.

The wealthy reduced access to education and increased economic instability for the average person.

They wanted less taxation, so they made taxation evil. Taxation paid for education and could have been used for more. They also made sure things that would stabilize the middle and lower classes were cut or never materialized - free higher education, unions/pensions, and health care. They created an environment that pitted people against each other where you “get yours” and fuck everyone else, crabs in a bucket.

Big chunk of glass in the upper left corner of the open frame. Sliced the shit out of themselves. Odds are dog pic and bloody window frame are not related images.

They deport you. Do you have confidence in evading authorities and working menial jobs under the table for a lifetime?

That’s the point.

And to do so relatively cluelessly with the optimism that it will all work out fine because American, white, and money. Instagramming selfies with their kidnappers kinda thing.

What good would it do? Unless you’re planning to overstay a tourist passport entry and become an illegal in that country?

Dimethylmercury.

Two drops will kill you in a few months and nothing can be done. It penetrates clothing, regular latex gloves, and skin very easily and unnoticed.

Pretty terrifying stuff. Not sure you’d be able to figure out availability or production in your plot, but as far as poisons go you’d be set for time between dose and death.

Still hasn’t happened in the US? You choose a single industry as a comparison to the vast manufacturing losses the US has faced over the last 50 years?

Same thing that happens everywhere. Low cost innovation gets expensive as companies grow and salaries rise, profit seekers move to exploit cheaper labor elsewhere.

The smug childishness of a grade school bully who got you in trouble after you lost your shit and finally punched back. These assclowns are infuriating.

Saw an anti-musk sticker on the car. Death penalty.

I’d probably barf if I ate the whole pack in one sitting. Or at least feel like I would.
