It's disturbingly similar to Mao's Cultural Revolution and the extermination of the bourgeoisie. Trump's christofascists have the Seven Mountain Mandate and the Maoists has the Four Olds.

And yet Republicans take credit for being the party that will keep the government out of your business.

The 5 love languages can be helpful even if it is pseudoscience. The core idea of loving your partner the way THEY appreciate is valid.

Part of the problem is that the divide is more urban vs rural than state by state. We might end up with dozens of city states with all the tech and money, but none of the staples of life and vast tracts of impoverished rural thocracies that can only survive by selling food and raw materials to the city states.

You're right. What is happening now is much better /s

First of all, drinking while armed is as irresponsible as driving drunk.

Second, if you need to be armed to express your opinions, I don't think you need to be calling other people victims.

Harrison Bergeron? Who's ever heard of that? Aston's career was launched by his role as an action hero in "Icebreaker".

Please hunt down and dishonorably discharge a bunch of combat trained individuals ideologically opposed to the current regime. I see no way that could backfire.

Were the British soldiers killed in the Revolutionary War, or the Rebels Killed in the Civil War, or the Nazis killed in WW2 victims of political violence?

Sometimes a political spectrum becomes stretched so wide that there can be no middle ground. No amount of "spirited debate" is going to reach a compromise about who is due their life and freedom. The wolf and the sheep are never going to agree on what is for dinner.

Charlie Kirk absolutely leaves a legacy of misery and death. He shares blame for Jan 6, mass shootings, and numerous hate crimes. He may have never pulled a trigger himself, but the right wing terrorism he encouraged leaves the blood on his hands just the same.

Oh gods. They are going to make a MAGA Luther King Day for him, aren't they?

It might be premature to call it a political killing. After all we don't know anything about the shooter. Maybe he was shot by a parent angry that Kirk molested their child.

I know. I was joking. I forget sarcasm isn't clear from text.

 
 
 

Remember, ask for a warrant, don't talk to the police, and don't sign anything.

I pay all my bills online so I'm used to navigating logins and payment apps. I never have nearly as much trouble paying credit card bills.

My password wasn't working, so I tried recovery. The recovery asked for my email, birthdate, zip code, and last 4 digits of my SSN. All things I know well, but they say it's wrong. Now I'm locked out of my account for the 2nd time in two days....

I almost think it's a conspiracy to enable charging people more late fees.
