Shit, I don’t even think it has to be subtle. People emigrate all the time for a variety of reasons. And most of them are much less compelling than “I’m surrounded by people who might decide to murder my entire family any day.”
They have no responsibility to stick it out and take the risk just because other people, including myself, don’t want to see the settlers win.
I assume that’s a gif because I remember that line and it’s a perfectly hilarious response, but I just see a pic.
Gifs don’t seem to work for me. Is that a problem with Jerboa?
Yeah, insta-fail is just lazy design. Becoming undetected again is fun.
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was a Russian propaganda piece. Russians were arguably the all time champs of anti-semitism and pograms (the word is even Russian in origin) before the Nazis industrialized them. Of course the Nazis used it, but it didn’t originate with them.
Even in Maine and Nebraska, two of their electrical votes are statewide just some are allocated to CDs. A state’s electrical votes are determined by their total number of senators and representatives. The ones that correspond to the two senators are statewide.
Believe this hype; You can make a difference.
I lived in Florida in 2000. If I had recruited a couple friends, and I knew people who would have been down, and we drove vans back and forth to the polls all day…
I’m just one person and my sample size is small. But judging by the number of right-leaning people I know that send me stuff from RT and other similar places, and the number of left leaning people who repeat dispiriting talking points I see in those pieces (They may never vote republican, but their enthusiasm is certainly being sapped.), I would say the percentage is quite high. That’s just people being swayed like you asked, not necessarily convinced to vote or act a certain way.
Again, I’m just one person, but from what I see around me Russia and its allies are winning the propaganda war.
How they can’t see the belt and road initiative as an attempt at establishing hegemony blows my mind. They really think China is doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.
I agree it will take him some time, maybe not quite as much as you think, but my point was I don’t think anyone else could even get there. Even Regan had limits in what the faithful would put up with, he wasn’t teflon. But no matter what Trump does, the MAGAts will support him and the moderate republicans, if there is such a thing anymore, will go along to avoid earning their wrath.
There is only one caveat I can think of. Trump can do anything without losing MAGAt support, but he can’t say anything. There have been scattered instances of Trump saying something that deviated from the MAGA ethos and actually getting booed. He can still do the things that would get him booed but say he’s doing the exact opposite and those morons will never question it. He just has to keep assuring his cult he’s hurting the people they hate.
As long as he keeps tossing red meat to those hateful scumbags by abusing our most vulnerable fellow citizens and increasing oppressive efforts on other groups they hate, they will cheer any and every thing he does even as they’re being herded into forced labor ghettos.
The difference is republican voters gargle his balls to an extent I’ve never seen, not even with Regan. The whole thing about being able to shoot someone on fifth avenue might be the truest thing he’s ever said.
What this means is, with the help of a willing Congress he can do anything. Even things previous republican presidents couldn’t without losing support for themselves and their lackeys in Congress. Republicans in purple districts couldn’t pass just anything and expect to get reelected, but with Trump taking the lead you hardly even hear about individual representatives so they’re willing to vote for some crazy shit.
He can feed them shit and call it caviar all day, every day. Republican voters will eat it up and never question it no matter how much it harms them.
Republicans always do this to some extent, but usually there is a limit.
Trump has no limits.

Maybe at some point in the future someone will come up with a test that determines if you’re high right now instead of our current test that only determines if you’ve used it in the past couple weeks. But until then prohibition for any safety related job is the only option.

Not only is decriminalization not legalization, even if something is legal your employer can prohibit it as a condition of employment.
I can guarantee you, even if marijuana is completely legal tomorrow and available in every 7-11 I’ll be fired for testing positive, and for good reason. At least the reasons are good for me, for a lot of other jobs drug testing is bullshit.
The genocide in Darfur is ongoing.

The thing these arguments never take into account is a fate worse than death.
That’s the point you’re missing.
Think about why someone would prefer the much more likely bear mauling to the much less likely worst case scenario with a man. If you can wrap your head around that, then consider why these women had that answer ready to go with very little thought. Considerations of a fate worse than death is something that women live with from the age where they first notice grown men noticing them. That averages 11 or 12 years old by the way. Maybe younger if their parents were a little more candid with them than the generic “stranger danger.”
I looked it up the other day. The float that’s currently available to trade is 6.32m shares. The total shares are 138.81m shares. And that’s not even counting all the warrants outstanding (DJTWW). As I understand it, those are like options issued by the company, but when they are exercised they dilute the stock even further instead of entitling you to buy existing shares.
Right now it’s just about 4.6% of the shares being traded by idiots who think Trump will make them rich and people taking advantage of those idiots. As soon as all those restricted shares hit the market, they’ll be worthless. And I’m not just talking about Trump’s shares, there are a lot of other insiders with restricted shares.
It’ll be interesting though. It’s kind of like a prisoners dilemma. If they all just hold and trickle out their shares over a long period of time, they could fleece a shit-ton of money from MAGAts before the bottom drops out, leaving them holding the bag. But they all know if any one of them dumps, the stock will tank and maybe even the idiots that buy trump bucks can’t bring it back up.
What do you think the chances are that they’ll all rush to be the first ones out because they think at least one other person will do the same causing it to go to pennies within days of those shares becoming available to trade?
Even if Tesla somehow managed to de-Elon themselves and address the quality issues, those cars look so dated compared to other EVs that are available and what’s coming soon.
They gave the model 3 a facelift but they really need a major bodystyle update across the whole line. Nothing in the entire line looks much different than the 2009 prototype model S.
They went from being futuristic to boring as fuck.
Edit: Except for the truck, of course. But that’s just something else entirely and I don’t feel like writing an essay.
Is the book just the story or does it have the parts where the grandpa is reading the book to the kid?
