This dude is the one who vetoed the bill to pay striking workers and a slew of other popular liberal bills. I hate him, so he probably will be the dem candidate in '28. Can’t wait to argue with people telling me we can “drag him left”
I read the article but could not find within what “1 million pounds of aid” entailed. What does that mean? What percentage of weight was food and medical supplies? Temporary housing? I can’t help but wonder why that information was not included. Does anyone know more?
Your’e asking the wrong fella, fella. But yaknow i was questioning the report, not the quality of your post, OP. I liked it and wanted to know more information. Discussing the material of your post is part of a discussion forum, right? Your own lack of curiosity isn’t really the point once you post it. Or do you have a completely different idear of what this place is supposed to be?
No, it’s not. because it’s the worst kinda lame having to talk to someone so effin’ passive aggressive. I do enjoy throwing that shit back in people’s faces sometimes. But now I’m going to relax, smoke a cigarette, literally touch some grass. Take it easy.
You know what? That cigarette was great. I reread your first reply 11 more times and with nicotine’s awful clarity i realized i read your comment in a mocking defensive tone, when you didn’t actually mean it that way.
I looked that up. Ouch! Is it ok if i ask whether it hurts or feels ‘good’ to do? You have an urge, or is it like a nervous tic? I’m curious what it is like if’n it’s no trouble
Shut your ignorant and definitely young-ass mouth. Think, for one second about what you just said. Does this make sense? Even i (not a doctor) can smell the stupid on this, cuz you pulled that out of your ass.
In the future, just shut your mouth and nod as if you understand when you’re presented with new information.
Do this and you’ll look smarter until you get smarter.
…there’s a bug on your arm. It’s pretty much the same feeling…
I may be getting the wrong idea cus of the analogy, but is it directed towards a general spot on your scalp or do you feel like a specific follicle crawling on you you must remove? Wait, does talking about it increase the urge? Sorry if so, I’m really curious
Haha you’re right, usually i avoid the youth angle. But his comments smelled so youthful the words came out on their own. only the young get mad at the insult so i think in moderation it’s a good tool
Aargh ive had carpal tunnel to the point i had a brace on my WoW arm (though probably not as severe as yours). I have ADD too and scratch my scalp to where it bleeds when I’m nervous. Oops now im making it bout me lol. I actually just wanted to thank you taking the time to write up this detailed comment. So thanks!
A California city has agreed to pay $900,000 to a man who was subjected to a 17-hour police interrogation in which officers pressured him to falsely confess to murdering his father, who was alive....
I always assumed a court order payment wouldn’t be taxed
Unfortunately that is not true. The only tax-free court imposed restitution is that of physical pain and suffering not mental anguish. There may be other small caveats like hospitalization for mental but yeah, if you get a settlement expect the govt to come looking for its cut after the lawyer takes theirs.
The problem’s voting for the candidate doesn’t work either. Or Voting 3rd party. Or Voting Republican. Or primarying in a more leftist candidate (because they often fight and lose to the DNC).
Apparently, neither does going on record as not voting for him as a protest. Hmmmm… what was the way to move the Democrats left?
10 whole presumably adult folks have (at this comment’s time) downvoted a linked quote related to the post and walked away unashamed of themselves. Fuggen lol.
Meanwhile, Biden has spent the trial trying to get Americans to pay attention to his claim to have done much more for the economy than Trump ever managed,
Said the author covering Trumps trial and not bidens accomplishmens. Kinda a stupid title, Biden wasn’t there. The title did cause me to imagine Biden smashing thru a wall at the trial and yelling ECONOMY OH YEAH! like the kool ade man so that was fun at least
