“You should have saved up a bit more and bought something less gaudy”

Did you know Angels in the Outfield has a 31% on rottentomatoes? I’m scared to watch it again because I remember it as a perfect movie.

My point is that it’s very odd to focus on the Democrats specifically when Republicans brought the bills up for a vote, and Republicans also basically unanimously voted for it…more Republicans voted for it than Democrats, and a Republican president is signing the bill.

Republicans pushed it through, Democrats voted for it also. You are allowed to criticize either party for voting for it, but you are being inaccurate if you are saying the Democrats are disproportionately responsible for passage, as the term “pushed it through” means.

Ok so 2 people out of 535 in Republican-controlled Congress voted against it, how is it accurate to say “Democrats pushed it through”?

Republicans pass legislation through the two houses of Congress they entirely control, a Republican president signs it.

You: “The Democrats pushed this through.”

They exist for the important work of censoring critics.

My town had an extremely generically named “spa” that I passed by all the time and joked that it must be a drug ring and I found out that no actually they were a human trafficking ring and they got shut down by the police.

It’s not pearl clutching, I’m saying it’s not a well designed comic. If he wanted it to be about Covid, he could have drawn it that way.

As seen by how you’re saying “no, people died of Covid” and other people are saying “no, people are being deported” and you both are at least notionally interpreting this political cartoon that has labels, none of which mention any of that proves you have to make one too many leaps in logic.

It’s just generic “Trump bad” which like I said, I agree with, I just don’t like the cartoon.

It was rejected for being extremely distasteful.

It’s not wrong, but there’s no tie in to the administration that makes the image need to be the scene of thousands of people murdered by terrorists.

If you think in terms of “lanes” AOC is the only left wing potential candidate on there, 21% support is actually not persuasive in her odds to actually be the candidate.

I feel very good about her chances to run the Bernie playbook and end with a top 3 amount of delegates but in an actual primary the lanes would clear up as people drop out and it is hard to see her consolidating support from like, Gavin Newsome.

McSorleys in NYC was men only until a 1970 legal ruling, and didn’t have a women’s restroom until 1986.

Their motto prior to 1970 was “Good Ale, Raw Onions and No Ladies”

Tiffany was similarly not used as a first name until Tiffany & Co, and particularly Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the 1958 novel/1961 movie.

The “Tiffany” from Tiffany & Co was a last name, and that owner was one of a handful of Tiffany’s in the world at the time of the founding.

Wait is there a federated podcast app? In what way would that be different than any other?

This is sort of like the depreciation tax benefit for private jets from the Trump tax cuts. I get it, I do, I just don’t care for the government offering extra help for the types of people in this scenario. Let them manage with their billions.

Haha OK op thinking it was a scam is not racist, calling it “a core value in their society” is a bit racist.

I’m not saying national leaders are immune from ethical liability no matter what, I’m saying I don’t blame German Jews for the Holocaust just because they’re German.

Track this back to the Houthis for me. You are arguing that America and the Houthis are both committing war crimes and are akin to Hitler so I should be against both of them, I’m a hypocrite for only calling out Houthis…and also you think Houthis are heroes?

I’m not following how you’re getting to that conclusion about my stance with that link. He’s a national politician talking about what the United States should do (in 2023). Clearly not as an acting member of a militant group.

If Vermont Independents were killing civilians and he stayed in the group I would denounce Bernie Sanders yes. I am not denouncing the entire country of Yemen.

You don’t get to pick conflict-by-conflict. “Going down in history as heroes” is about the totality of human action.

And you feel the same about their attacks on Yemeni civilians? Also heroic?

Market cap of Twitter was $41B, Musk overpaid at $44B,

Fidelity valued it at $9.4B late last year.

xAI paid $33B for it this year.

So this is a significantly worse overpay.
