Things the government should have lists of: people who own guns Political opponents

it’s the idea that we should accelerate the collapse of society so “our” preferred system can replace it. Doesn’t matter who the “our” encompasses.

So inclusive of Trump to accept her! /s

98% of the time when you see a military aircraft, it’s because all the military does when not actively fighting a war is practicing to. We would literally just go up and fly circles around the airfield, practicing a few normal approaches with a touch and go landing, then a few practice aborts, then some combat approaches, then some instrument inly landings. Day, night, good weather, bad weather. Practice flying high, low, pressurized, unpressurized. There’s 500 ways to land each airframe, and every pilot in every unit needs to practice each type dozens of times a year or more to keep their pilot qualifications. And it’s not just the pilots. The hospitals **practice wartime medicine, and the maintenance guys practice their craft in Chem gear. The LEOs pretend there’s an active threat on the base and a thousand other types of exercises. It’s a big part of what our military budget each year goes to, and it’s why, while we have a LOT of issues in our military that need fixing, we don’t have the types of problems you see Russia having with entire units defecting or surrendering, losing aircraft/equipment so frequently, and it’s why so many of us come back alive. The US hasn’t seen personnel losses like Russia has seen in Ukraine since WW2. The price of that is a lot of money and a lot of time spent practicing, even at home.

Most likely, if the US were going to be attacked, you wouldn’t find out because jets were flying overhead, you’d get an emergency broadcast on your phone telling you to stay in your house or move to a specific shelter site or provide some other type of instructions or you wouldn’t see it coming at all because nobody else did either.

Corporate rates were also higher. 50% in 1940. In general, corporate taxes are lower than personal taxes because they encourage people to invest their money instead of hoarding cash.

Sounds a lot like the Trumpers decide if something is true to me.

I’m sure your outside organizing will be much easier under the “let’s arrest or deport everyone that does agree with us, burn all the books with ideas we don’t agree with, and you’ll never have to vote again” candidate.

JD Vance is a Zack Galifianakis character.

It does sound ludicrous…might be better off making a concave mirror so it reflects and intensifies the light…like a giant magnifying glass over an ant hill. Yeah…that’s how they should do it. Nothing gonna wrong with that.

I would have sworn it was an article from this election cycle, but hey, that’s the brain for you…not nearly as reliable as we’d like to believe.

Project 2025 backers are pushing dangerous propaganda about the Trump shooting

Remember how stupid the average person seems to you. Now remember, half of us are more stupid than that.

I wish I remembered where I read it so I could attribute it, but I saw someone describe Trump not as a liar but as a bullshitter. It’s not that he lies. It’s that he has no regard, one way or another, for whether what he is saying is a lie or not. He simply has a thought and recites it. It’s so effortless for him to lie because, from his perspective, it’s the same as telling the truth. If this is true, the pattern you’ve identified could be merely chance based on the probability that any random thought a person has is more likely to be wrong than right when they are incapable of learning new information.

I didn’t feel like I was doing it justice, so I found the sauce…from fucking 2015. https://newrepublic.com/article/124803/donald-trump-not-liar

I’ve been a poll worker for several years now in the midwest… The number of times I hear women here asking their husband to remind them who they’re supposed to vote for is… disheartening.

I’m still trying to figure out who it’s photobombing there… Apparently, every woman with black hair is Kamala?

“Weird” feels like it’d only an insult if you’re obsessed with conformity or you believe there should be in (normal) and out (weird) groups that dictate how you’re allowed to exist in society.

Makes the word a pretty good litmus test, too. If you tell someone they’re kinda weird, and they’re that upset about it… maybe a red flag?

Should have workshopped it a little longer…almost made it to Yawnald Dump

It’s ok. They don’t read much.
