I so look forward to the day when Boomers and Gen X lose their stranglehold on US politics and media so we can finally shut this performative bullshit down.

Just going to point out that your whole argument says that the people who shouldn't be talking about 9/11 are the same people who lived through it.

And I don't know what you have against GenX, we've never had a president, and we're shockingly rare in Governor's mansions or Congress. JD Vance is our highest-ranking member if you keep in mind that Vice President doesn't have authority or influence, just a shot at promotion.

This is so funny because to the people he's pandering to, his children are the dirt in this country.

You almost feel sorry for the oil theocracies because Trump has terrible ROI. They rolled out the red carpet, gave him a 747, and in return they get to fight a regional war on behalf of Israel.

It's sad though because what it signals to our allies that deserve our friendship and support.

This is silly. Bin Laden's plan was that 9/11 was going to scare the US into withdrawing from the Middle east just as the Soviets had ghosted Afghanistan. Spoiler: that didn't happen. If 9/11 kicked off America's decline, it's not because Bin Laden was doing some 4/D chess; he got lucky.

This guy is the Lee Greenwood of Trump insider information. He's only got one song, from a hundred years ago and brother, he's going to play it loud.

Fetterman is looking to swap sides after the midterms to help prevent a Dem Senate. I expect he'll be well compensated for his rat fuck behavior.

Our technology isn't capable of understanding advanced missile tech, it's only good for deciding who gets killed with advanced missile tech.

I don't know about radicalized, but if you want to better understand race in America, "The Fire Next Time" by Baldwin is an excellent place to start.

A Palestinian must be sinless to qualify for sympathy when they get murdered. A Palestinian journalist could never be virtuous enough to be listened to.

Affordability and gas prices are his major weaknesses so of course he says they don't matter.

This is how narcissists process threat. It's one of the reasons they seem fearless and act reckless.

 

I've got an elderly cat that became my responsibility through... circumstances.

He's a lot of work. He has zero personality or charisma. Worst of all, he harasses me for wet food his whole waking existence. Food motivated is not the word, it's the only thing he knows, or cares about.

I'm not going to be sad when he dies.

 
 

I'm in the bottom half of Appalachia, if it's a regional thing.

 
 
 
 

All anyone cares about is which powerful man gets embarrassed. And I recon it's more likely that Maxwell will get out early than any predator gets jail.

There were HUNDREDS of victims; it went on for decades; and nobody gives a tiny shit. Have you heard anybody propose a law, a task force, even a blue ribbon commission to find out how this happened or make sure nobody does this again? Are their any more resources for victims because of this?

Our society accepts that men of wealth are entitled to abuse people. And sexual abuse is all in the game. Because at the end of the day our legal system is constructed to protect these people from the rabble, not hold them to account.

A pedophile is political designation to strip rights, dignity, and legitimacy from enemies. Children being harmed is beside the point.
