To be fair. His farming ventures have moved his opinion on climate in a positive direction.

But have they? His insistence at this point is that he doesn't have to do anything, or change anything, science will "solve the issue". Nothing better than someone who thinks any mess they make can be cleaned up by someone else so why bother trying to make any changes that makes your life slightly less convenient?

He added: ‘I won’t drive a Tesla. I’ve got probably 10 cars, all with V8 engines. I don’t think electric cars solve anything. Science is going to be needed here, not politics. Science will solve it eventually. Always does.’

We're at war rule

Can we not pretend to be as dumb as the flat-earth tumpers?

Her family came out and stated she suffered from epileptic seizures, and believed that was cause of death. There's literally nothing worse than the family having closure, and being continually harassed about the death of a loved one because of psychotic internet conspiracy theorists. There is no basement in this pizza parlor.

He probably should've bought this without the hood

Let me make it easy for you: The local CPS agent who has to both uncover pedophiles, as well as deal with the aftermath, would never be caught dead in a shirt like this.

Anyone wearing a shit like this is projecting HARD. Normal people universally agree that pedophiles are bad. The only people that feel the need to advertise it's bad, are the ones who secretly are thinking "But I have these urges so other people must too, so I better put it on a shirt to remind everyone it's bad in case they forget".

There's litearlly no well adjusted adult who thinks you need to remind everyone that pedophiles are bad... that's just a base assumption. If one of my coworkers showed up tomorrow with a shirt that said "Rapists are bad, don't rape people" my first thought would be: wait, were you contemplating raping people before you saw that shirt for the first time?

Ronald Reagan?! The Actor?!

Reply in thread

Ronny "trickle down economics" Reagan thought taxes should be higher on wealthy folks? Are you insane? The top tax bracket went from 70% at the start of his presidency to 28% by the time he left office. What Democrat have you heard calling to drop the top tax rate below 28%?

He was WORSE than "that bad". Have you ever heard of something called the Iran Contra scandal?

And oh, by the way, he didn't defeat the USSR, Carter did. Funding the Taliban's war against the Soviet's started under his watch. Ronny just took credit for it.

Elon Musk Begs Advertisers to Return as Twitter's Revenue Plunges

"If you’re trying to reach senior decision makers, if you want to reach the most influential people in the world," Musk told Read, "the X platform is by far the best."

Does someone want to break it to him that he's one of about 4 executives of a fortune 500 who spends any time on Twitter? The rest have PR people who might make a couple posts a month for them, but they sure as shit aren't wasting any time on it arguing with idiots and bots. They're busy flying around on private jets or playing golf when they aren't spending their 30 minutes a month working.

Womp, womp

All fun and games until they throw her in a cage. I hate to break it to you, when ICE is kidnapping people, they aren't checking your documents first. They're just disappearing you to the back of the van. If they happen to get a few citizens too, well that's just collateral damage.

One can hope it would result in a massive lawsuit, public outrage, and change. My bet is that it doesn't even make headlines, Faux News slanders the woman for being an "immigrant sympathizer" and the Trump administration tries to strip her citizenship for aiding and abetting enemies of the state (you know Jesus who pays his taxes and picks fruit seasonally in Arizona).

Happy 420?

Fun fact: Biden has already pardoned thousands of people with marijuana convictions. Asking him to pardon EVERYONE when they may have had marijuana as a minor add-on to other criminal charges is a bit silly of an ask.

Biden doesn't run the DEA and can't force them to reschedule the drug. This is almost as dumb as the conservatives saying Biden needs to do something about border security then not being upset the Republicans have voted against every effort to do something about border security before it makes it to Biden's desk.

*the number of people in this country who think the President is a dictator and can literally just make up laws on his own is terrifying.

Controversial Thesis

This would be far more convincing coming from someone that isn't an evangelical religious nutjob teaching at a school with barely enough students to field an American football team (yes I know it's Australia) much less be competitive in any major sports.

Controversial thesis: if you teach creationism in college as a factual accounting of history, then it's not a university. It's a cult with a side hustle in tertiary education.

Get ya every time

It's like one side was fighting for literally everything, and the other side was a bunch of scared teenagers wondering why the fuck some tropical jungle on the other side of the planet was worth dying for. The only ones actually waking up wanting to fight at all were the psychopaths that just wanted to kill someone.
