That would be “the carrot”. Trump prefers “the stick”.

You are not describing a “friend”.

If you had to pick either one of those fingers to call the “middle” one, it’s pretty obvious which one better fits the description.

Yeah, there was a lot of weird confusion about that. The police claimed the accident was actually minor and no reported injuries occurred. Then her family came out with a statement saying that she initially went home with minor bumps and bruises, but later fell ill and went to the hospital where they discovered she had kidney failure, I think? It’s still unclear if that’s true though.

Now this happens? It’s all very strange.

“…with her mother.” Thank God. The headline makes it sound like they just dropped a two year old off somewhere with no plan at all.

So qualified.

I’m pretty sure the Constitution has a rule for that.

Remember when this stuff was called "the quiet part’, and it was considered bad when you said it out loud?

Yeah…good times.

More like, “threaten to dish dirt on other members of Congress…straight to jail.”

Just clench your sphincter every time you answer truthfully. It’ll be false negatives, all the way down.

Maybe if this fuckin’ idiot would stop using unsecured communication systems, he’d have a bit more privacy.

This man is just so unbelievably stupid. smh.

This is the biggest anti-endorsement I’ve ever heard. Thank you for telling us all that. I will absolutely never be using this browser.

They protect their own.

JFC. Does he get all his talking points directly from Russian state media? The FSB must be sending him briefings, or something.

Democratic party leaders Thursday morning admonished officers to not take sides in primaries

Lol! This, coming from the same folks that would rather back Republicans instead of progressives in their own party? Fuck these people. Primary them all.

Also those people…“We need to ban all forms of weather manipulation technology, because space lasers or something something…”

At this point, it’s pretty obvious his entire goal with DOGE was to dismantle federal agencies that were either investigating him in some way, or were trying to regulate his companies. So, I guess this means Tesla can’t survive without him actively gaming the system in his favor.

I watched a video a while ago (unfortunately can’t find it now) about how modern politics has shifted over the last few decades, along with the Overton window.

The woman in the video was a political scientist / sociologist.

It was really eye opening the way she described their tendencies. Typically, “conservatives” strive to maintain the status quo, and are characterized as being more resistant to progressive policies that are intended to change the current system. That actually describes today’s Liberals more accurately than today’s conservatives…while today’s conservatives have just gone so far to the right, that they can only be described as right-wing extremists.

I disagree. I imagine a future where the meat industry consists of luxury ranches, where prized specimen livestock are allowed to roam freely, grazing on the best grains all day, and attended by dutiful handlers at the ready to facilitate their every comfort. Each one, allowed to grow old and die naturally, never knowing fear or hardship.

All that’s required of them is the occasional tissue sample in order to keep cloning stocks up to date and viable.

Meanwhile, off in a separate facility, its meat is being mass produced to feed millions. Everyone wins.
