I just want to be able to run down the street to buy a pack of overpriced unmarked capacitors anytime I need.

Who fucking cares? What is it going to do really? There has been so much publicity of their relationship, it doesn't change anything. Will it result in charges against Trump? Unlikely, the only one I know of who was willing to put herself and her family at risk, is dead (suicide).

His supporters will find a way to excuse anything away. There could be a picture of Trump assaulting a young teen and they would just say it's not his fault she looked older than she was.

To those in this thread saying anything released shouldn't be redacted, remember there were victims, this wasn't just Jeff and Don having a brobait with each other.

I'm sick of the Democrats and their shitty platitudes, because that's all this is. Demand compassion and due process for the millions being terrified by federally protected kidnappers. Demand that Republicans meet to discuss the phasing out of some of the TPS rules (temporary is in the name and just because there is an EO doesn't mean there can't be a law that changes it). Demand that we stop defending the atrocities of megalomaniacs around the world. Demand that the legislative branch takes back the power of the purse and writes laws to affect trade.

Might be the only time I agree with the ball of congealed Cheeto vomit, but why the fuck are we still talking about Epstein?

As someone else pointed out, this infighting is a bad look and will likely cause more problems for the party. They could just do what is expected and support the candidate who was chosen by the people, as many voters have done in the past. He will be lucky to accomplish half of what he has laid out in 4 years. He will not be impossible to primary at that point.

I hope he wins handily. Maybe at least one small part of the party could realize that the people are sick of the same old policies and even more tired of seeing the same names on the ballot. Someone would primary the governor.

We call that roadside assistance and many people do not have it as it is not required. Manny more people don't know they have it. Actually some phone companies include it in their plans, I've also seen it as a feature on some credit cards. But if you don't think about it, you forget you have it.

gas chambers were just cleansing facilities

And

the crematoria lacked capacity for the dead

These statements seem to be in a logical battle. Camps weren't meant to kill but they had too many dead.

The worm eats well done steak with ketchup. Statistically he should have choked many times.

*I have zero data to back this claim, just an assumption that it would be more likely to choke on shoe leather

In some ways that is the answer. Crashes keep happening because they are not being held accountable to regulators because they are not reporting these incidents and no one is exercising oversight to be sure the reporting matches reality.

I think over the years, accurate reporting by manufacturers has been done because they generally do not want to be known as that car company that killed a child and it could have been prevented with a 50 cent bolt. As a result, regulators have been less hawkish. Of course there are probably political donations in the US to help keep the wheels turning.

I'd have an easier time agreeing with you if any one of them had shown even a bit of spine against this fascism.

Is eye bleach a thing here?

The fear is manufactured by those with power. A race war is much better for them than a class war.

I disagree. The joke is meh without the names. If they did the same thing but with 2 made up people or cartoon characters it would fall flat. This format is disingenuous and doesn't hold up without making it seem like celebrities said it.

 
  • Most tipped workers already don't pay federal taxes.
  • Increasing the tipped minimum would do more.

Edit: really there should be no minimum lower than the hourly minimum.
