Democracy is fine. The part where shit started going bad is when we found ways to legalize bribes, allow paid lobbying, and ultimately pass laws that favor the unique interest of certain industries
Jesus dude if your bringing a Hizbullah analogy into the conversation my only response is:
You know your shit.
Keep it up.
And then they complain about the cost of Avocado toast.
Yes I’m sure that tattoo sleeve you financed with student loans has nothing to do with your current predicament. Sure.
Real talk: I don’t have any tattoos but can understand why people do so.
Honestly I’m just surprised nobody declares a Purge yet. Just 24 hours to go batshit. Would definitely be good for society.
Ok - I don’t buy the Soros crap for a multitude of reasons. But let’s say he’s deposed of, and the next guy, and....
The issue is that all of radical left wing mayors and DA’s and the like are in power and pushing their influence and shaping future policy. You need to repeal and replace those people. People like Soros are endless. It’s important for people like us to push pack on pied piper candidates that his orgs fund.
How many IQ points below average does one have to be to steal a Tesla or any WiFi enables Apple device? Are we talking single or double digits? Asking on behalf of the people who legally buy products that can be tracked via GPS etc.
The joke here is that Tim Pool will start wearing a MAGA hat by the end of the summer. And you know, the inside of a constantly worn headpiece smells pretty gnarley... don’t ask me to explain to this one...
If we’re lucky he might be sniffing the inside of Tim Pools beanie right around November 3rd...
Future taxpayers?
The other half are just solely purchased by the New York City
Right I mean history is full of that. Haven’t read a ton into Marcus Aurelius outside of HS history classes. I wouldn’t disregard everything Mattis has ever said or done, I think he is incredibly accomplished. But it’s certainly hard to trust his future statements on such matters.
Likewise the left defers to the fact that the Dec of Independence says “All men are created equal” yet slavery was still a thing. They use that to justify their current BS. Obviously not a good reason to destroy the country, but it would be interesting to see if any of the framers, founding fathers, acknowledged the contradiction in that given the time period.
You know what the saddest part of that whole situation was? Barely a few months before that OP-ED he did a proper sit down interview with David Rubenstein for a Bloomberg series on leadership. It’s actually a great listen and super informative if you view it as a stand-alone piece.
I still want to believe in the myth of Mattis but after that OP-ED I don’t think I can view his opinion subjectively. Dude should have taken his own advice and waited till POTUS finishes his presidency before saying anything.
Popeyes. Pizza Hut. Wendy’s. Taco Bell. Don’t forget to bring a towel!
Just tell them it’s a BLM protest and all should be fine.
Pretty sure the American Military Industrial Complex is almost entirely WASPs. James Mattis certainly ain’t Jewish. The Israelis don’t need the US to stay in Syria to sort their own shit out. They have been doing it since way before the US sent the first M-16.
Ehh, that’s normal attire for a lot of folks. Exchange Work out pants for sweat pants or basketball shorts depending on the Big Box retailer people are parked in front of. Let’s be real, we’ve seen folks of all stripes dress like this.
Honestly I feel like a lot of this BS was allowed to fester because our government has repeatedly failed to recognize in full the Armenian Genocide and its perpetrators, the Ottoman Turks, during the period of the former Ottoman Empire. I swear to god we need to just come out, recognize it. Tell Turkey to go stuff themselves (see what I did there?) and proceed with acknowledging Chinas BS and calling it. Let the chips fall where they may, and be ready to use force. The fact is non-acknowledgment allows these shitholes to get away with such behavior.
Neither of those guys came over on H1Bs or anything equivalent to that. Einstein was legit recognized as a refugee of Nazi persecution (who could contribute immensely to American scientific advancement). Von Braun was recognized as a legit Nazi (who could contribute to American space knowledge) but we didn’t want the USSR to kill or capture him.
I have normal money family living in Maui (as apposed to ‘fuck you money‘ like Mark). We have been doing a lot of video calls over the past few months and the quality is sooooo much better than this. I have a hard time believing this guys ISP can’t provide a better link.
I know right. Only two of these people have actual normal offices and sort of decent webcams and upload speeds. Yet Bezos and Zuck both have potato quality cams and internet connections from some 3rd world shit hole. Whilst sitting in questionable spaces? Am I crazy to overthink this stuff or just way to attentive?
Anyone else think Bezos is using a virtual background image instead of showing his actual office? Something about the bokeh effect doesn’t seem right...
Oh shit is that Jim Jordan’s Mountain Dew can I spy back there?
Nadler’s outlook is off the hook. Probably blackmail from his handlers to remind him to stay on topic.
It’s OK buddy. If it lasts longer than 4 hours, praise the lord.
The US is actually a constitutional republic but with democratic ideals (in the democracy sense of the word). Certain aspects of the country really on a 51% majority rule vote, but that’s usually at a local or state level. At a federal level (like absolute changes to the constitution) you need a fairly large majority to get things rolling. If you recall from the impeachment trial earlier this year, it only required a majority to “impeach” trump In the House, but to actually convict would have required a 2/3 majority in the Senate.
