I see someone who has to double down on their delusions or they will face immense guilt of voting for the person who disappeared their wife.

I would imagine many Latinos were hoodwinked by Republicans.

The Conservative Latinos stay in their conservative media ecosystem, being constantly told that they are the “good ones”. Not realizing that those spreading the propaganda are racists who only care about Anglo-Saxon white people. Specifically, only rich Anglo-Saxon white people.

I miss the days when we made kids fight for the International Championship belt.

Hammock tent. All the advantages of a tent and a hammock.

Don’t have to worry about your tent getting flooded, no need for an air mattress or sleeping pad.

I thought it was video games to blame for kids not going outside.

Now a days, if you tell kids that smoke meth behind the Waffle House; they just look at you with disgust.

Why are we all sleeping on the plague?

I really thought it said "nutting" instead of "muting". I was so confused and the photo of Hank Hill did not help with that confusion.

I always enjoy reading that article cause it really highlights how smug the left can get when it comes to other people.

There was the thread about a how a Cuban woman who voted for Trump and her father got detained in the ICE raids. Sadly, it took an event to help her learn the error of her ways. She did seem remorseful and wanted to grow from the experience. Yet the vast majority of comments were all dog piling her. I can imagine that every comment that she read about this was her fault, she’s stupid, etc. There was a tiny voice her head going “See, we were right. The left is intolerant. The left is full of jerks and assholes. We never shit on you for your mistakes.”

These types of comments just drive people back to Conservatism and their old beliefs. From what I heard, the Cuban woman grew up around Conservatism and was brainwashed to think “I’ll be spared cause I conformed to Conservative values.” Not realizing that those spreading that propaganda are straight up fucking racists.

The left really does need to start saying to people “It’s alright. You were hoodwinked. We’re going to help you get through this; direct action, mutual aid, etc.”

Unless of course the person whose face is being eaten by a leopard is an unrepentant asshole. Then fuck em. Sympathy and understanding should be left to those who are willing to learn.

Rafael Cruz hates Rafael Cruz so much that he voted against his own amendment.

Magnets, how do they work?

On the bright side:

The vote was 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie after three Republicans joined all Democrats in opposing the legislation

The Democracts actually stood against Trump.

Mr Giuliani filed for bankruptcy last month after he was ordered to pay $148m to Georgia election workers he defamed

Donald Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani has listed a claim against the one-term president over unpaid legal fees in a new bankruptcy filing.

The ex-New York City mayor includes a “possible claim for unpaid legal fees against Donald J Trump.” in the 26 January filing, which states that the amount is “undetermined.”

Mr Giuliani filed for bankruptcy last month, days after a federal judge ordered him to “immediately” pay more than $148m to a pair of Georgia election workers a jury determined he defamed.

Mr Giuliani represented Mr Trump in a string of unsuccessful lawsuits contesting the results of the 2020 election that he lost to Joe Biden.

Mr Trump’s legal fees owed to Mr Giuliani have previously been reported. The New York Times wrote in August 2023 that “Mr Trump has never explicitly told Mr Giuliani why he is effectively stiffing him, but the former president has pointed out that he lost the cases related to the election.”
