Some people just don’t understand how much slower the bus is. A trip from my house to my brother’s apartment downtown via a bus is a 3 hr trip with a connection at a hub and a half-mile walk.

I can jump in my car any time, and be there in 15-20 minutes.

If we can get that time down to maybe 40 minutes, then I might consider taking a bus, but until then, it just doesn’t work out.

Trump not talking about it makes sense to me.

That flapping orange windbag doesn’t understand how a fucking lever works, but if there is one thing for sure he understands, it’s stochastic terrorism. He knows if he gets in front of the media and talks about getting shot at, it’s going to put that idea in the head of a bunch of his radical dipshit supporters who are one or two personal slights from doing a copy-cat shooting.

Honestly, that’s one more qualification than her predecessor.

Knowing you aren’t smart makes you smarter than all the people who think they are smart but actually aren’t.

Own a modern firearm to shoot fascists foot soldiers, as the founding fathers intended…

Not joking.

10 years? I’m pretty sure 10 months is 50/50 odds at this point…

I have insight to a company that does automotive loans, and the number of people getting offers for 30% APR 84 month 0-down loans (and accepting them) is way too fucking high.

People can’t really afford cars. The US government considers domestic car production so important, that we are practically banned from buying “better” cheaper cars made in China. The auto manufacturers know this and are absolutely chowing down in the captive market. The working class is going to lose reliable transportation, at the same time companies (and the government) are pushing to end Work-from-home options, and there is basically 0 public transportation in the US.

So a lot of people aren’t going to be able to afford the systemically artificially inflated cars to get to their arbitrarily in-office jobs and they can’t reasonably take the systemically hobbled/non-existent bus or train.

Oh, did I mention that we’ve pissed off and mistreated and deported all of the migrant labor that made fresh food widely available and cheap in the US? Oh, and we also emptied critical agricultural water reserves in a smooth-brain attempt to fight a fire 200 miles away. Don’t forget, global shipping and fuel prices are fucked because of a war we decided to start to distract from the fact that the president is practically in the Epstein files more than Epstein himself? So come summer, we’re going to have no food because we have no water and no labor, and importing food is going to be even more expensive? And that’s before the capricious 100%+ tarrifs the president is slapping on everything via a fucking tweet.

Come on… I don’t think I could fuck up running a county this bad if I was actively trying.

Some of them definitely were plants, but much like the anti-vax/flat earth movement, it started as a couple of trolls/political operatives and caught fire amongst some of the most braindead people in the country. It’s like those people never had to make a hard (or even slightly uncomfortable) decision in their lives.

Yeah. I don’t think MTG’s district is gonna flip, but it’s funny that the race is even that close.

How?

That’s like asking how Trump got in the Epstein files over a million times. It was a coordinated effort by both of them, that lead to a long and comfortable relationship with the slimmest margins of plausible deniability.

I’m still waiting to see if the Nazis jail and execute the Republicans eventually, or if it will be the other way round.

I can’t find Stephen Miller on there though…

I wish it was fucking rare, but they’ve been doing this shit at least 2 or 3 times a year for my entire lifetime.

No no no. What you are seeing is a would-be assassin, who was selected because he very closely resembled Epstein. Upon entering the cell, Epstein strangled the guy, and then made his escape. Currently he’s on the ISS building his trafficking empire for aliens after human adrenochrome.

Ah, that’s far to much thinking for those types.

Gonna play dipshit’s advocate here for a minute and say that canceling funding for Scouts based on DEI is pretty low-key evil compared to their perception that Kamala was personally flying planes over to Palestine and dropping nuclear cluster agent-orange munitions on the women and children there.

Same. Fuck trump. Fuck ICE. Fuck DHS.

Garbage article is garbage.

In July 2022, about 18 months after Biden became president, a regional Secret Service office requested that agents conduct a “preliminary protective intelligence investigation” targeting the Maine man, an Army veteran, for one or more posts on Twitter.

They then show the evidence sheet, and the guy was calling current or former phone numbers of Biden’s family, and when he posted that response on Twitter, it was a reply to a post that said “what illegal things are you doing Friday night?”

Keep in mind, that this is all shortly after a bunch of armed maga chuds tried to overthrow the country. So all in, we have repetitive antagonism through different means, making a specific threat, and a history of this kind of activity in the past.

The whole article is based on documents that the Heritage foundation FOIA’d and released. I trust those guys even less that I trust the current government.

Credible violent threats specifically.

Oh, that’s just what they need to do to maintain mar-a-lago face.

Probably Libya then.
