I actually don't think it will, because I believe America will have stopped being the "united" states by then and it will no longer be called America.

You absolutely can get worse than Biden Harris stance. Just watch.

Why the fuck should the result of the election matter in a criminal trial?

The fact that it does shows how broken the system is.

Hahaha... hahaha... ha... ha...

You fucking morons. Welcome to massive cost inflation v2.

Better hope you're going to be changing jobs in the near future, because your current boss ain't going to be paying more despite raising all the prices because new labour costs will go up.

Also, you better not consume anything produced outside the US (even if it's also produced in the US) because the new tariffs are going to drive up prices there too.

The only people that benefit from these policies is corporate shareholders.

Women didn't buy that logic, but men did?

Harris won essentially the same percentage of women as Biden did, but lost entirely on the fact that fewer men voted for her (by a wide margin)

I'm pretty sure the simple explanation is right here, and it had nothing to do with the economy.

You're right that she was Hilary 2.0, but for the wrong reason.

It has very little to do with policy.

The difference between winning and losing was almost certainly just people who preferred a man over a woman as president. Whether they will say it or not, America is still not ready for a female president.

"In 2020, men were almost evenly divided between Trump and Biden, unlike in 2016 when Trump won men by 11 points."

This election, Trump won men by 10 points again.

Democrats have got the largest share of women's votes in every election since 1988.

Losing 10 points of the male vote isn't caused by support for Israel, or a lack of progressive policies.

This is the sad truth.

The president doesn't control that. The federal government doesn't even control that.

That's a state by state situation.

Define "survive"

Humans are incredibly resilient but at the same time yes, more of them will end up homeless and some will likely die before they would otherwise have.

That being said most people won't care, because the ones that will end up in the worst situations are the ones without family or friends to even be aware it's happening.

I'd like to point out that a lot of the world doesn't even have separate (or even any) devices for drying. Especially areas like the Middle east, Africa, and Asia. It's still very common to hang dry clothes in many warmer climates. Japan for example doesn't use them very much because electricity prices are so high and space is so limited. They may also just be a combined washer and dryer unit in one that does both functions due to a lack of space.

They won't admit it, but they will still cry. I will know what caused it, and that's sufficient for me.

 

The party of fiscal responsibility ya'll

They say it will be caught up to with growth, which they've predicted to be above 5% per year... no way that happens, major banks are predicting sub 2% growth.

 

He stands by the party member who made derogatory comments about indigenous and Muslim people.

Please judge him and find him wanting.

 

The title is a bit misleading and makes it sound like it's a one time payment. It's very different, he's promising to exempt up to $3000 a month towards your housing costs from income taxes. Starting at $1500 a month in 2026 and going up $500 a year for 3 more years. At the max, it would be a $36,000 a year tax deduction which is absolutely massive, that's half of the average family income.

Great idea? It's complicated, but probably not a good idea.

When you make something "cheaper" for everyone like this in a supply constrained market, all that does is drive up the prices of rents and housing sale prices since people can now use that freed up money to pay more for those.

Also, his plan to pay for this multi-billion dollar plan is:

“Obviously, we need to take a look at this reckless spending that David Eby has put in place in terms of how to sort of rein in some of that spending,” said Rustad.

So that's not really "fiscally conservative" at all.

 

This asshole is literally a conspiracy theorist. He says it was about controlling the population, not stopping the spread of the virus.

Which countries (and even provinces) had the fewest covid deaths per capita? Oh.. the ones with the highest vaccination rates.

Everyone with a brain knows vaccines reduce illness, that's why we have the fucking things.

 

Uber's reply to the new laws.

 

Surprise surprise, a Conservative who's got a past full of hate.

 

Interesting decision

 

What a lady she was, helping shift all of us forward in a normally taboo subject.
