And, now more than ever, maintaining the status quo balanced heavily in support of the oligarchy and capitalistic elite, is their primary job. They give two fucks about the corruption and destruction of the US and the constitution. As long as the cuts keep happening, and the money is fueled to their benefactors, they’re happy. Especially as it’s supporting their secondary goal of destroying the US from the inside out for Russia, their other ‘daddy’.

There are plenty of physically strong looking actresses, WTF did they get that soft looking lady who doesn’t even come off as ‘real’ or believable when she’s trying to act ‘bad ass’?

Outside of OP’s weird issues concerning Elliot Page…

My issue with the casting for season 2 is Abby is supposed to be strong. She spent 5 years after her father died, pounding protein and lifting weights, practicing martial arts, living and breathing vengeance for her father’s murderer… and in the game she looks it.

The casting, though? Some super petite brunette who looks cute. But… ok, ok, looks of an actor don’t make the character, so we’ll see what she does and if the story and her acting shines through.

I also had the same issue with the Martian Marine from The Expanse, not only was she not strong looking… her acting wasn’t believable.

Not only soaring medical debt and profits, but with more commoners dying and a shorter life expectancy, combined with the war against education, and the right to medical privacy and choice, we’re going to see/are seeing record increases in birth rates across the US! More bodies for the meat grinder! If a worker dies of black lung or loses all their fingers? There’ll be another child worker to back fill that slot next week!

My mistake, I was internalizing ‘military age male’ when I both read and responded to the original commenter. 🤷‍♂️

Or I should have gone with a higher age. The photos I saw looked like very rough older men, which again doesn’t say much as it’s Russia and they’re fighting in a war.

Some of them look like they need a care home.

Not only are we going to stop measuring it, especially since the federal organizations that did this were defunded and everyone was fired, but we also did the same thing to the organizations that enforce clean air standards AND are working toward or already repealed clean air requirements altogether. So, companies can now have the extra space to make as much profit as they can without having to worry about bothersome things like ‘clean air’ for the commoners. This will certainly bring back manufacturing, since it’ll be cheaper to make things. Next we’re going to repeal minimum wage requirements, OSHA standards, prison and child labor laws. All of this will give us the edge to compete against China and bring manufacturing back to america! MAGA!! 👊🇺🇸🔥

Didn’t we just get photos of 50 year old Russians turning themselves over to Ukraine? Idk what you mean by ‘working age males’ anymore.

Hey, the POTUS said on ‘day 1’ he’d have a deal made. Art of the deal kind of guy.

I’m more interested in what comes next, will he back Russia instead?

There’s still time to bribe the old man.

Especially after the president said he’d deport Americans. If you submitted the article, how long do you think you’d last before you accidentally not accidentally got deported to a gulag?

The fan is probably one of those bladeless ones.

Can someone just sue these rich assholes since the DOJ, Congress and the SCOTUS won’t hold them accountable?

I will say, that the lack of social services, social safety nets, and collective bargaining means that the first threat against your career and source of income immediately pacifies you.

Some other European countries that have those benefits don’t realize what kind of burden Americans are under. I am literally afraid of them starting to ‘loyalty test’ people in my profession for loyalty to ‘trump’ instead of the constitution and the presidency (as outlined by the constitution, instead of someone who wipes their hands with it).

They’re probably still using unsecured comms, and are paying attention now.

It’s like pooping, why would I wait until I got home if I could be paid to do it at the office?

Spoiler: they won’t.

The idea that Art of the Deal can’t get this guy back is absurd, they have the power and ability to do so. They refuse to.

This is the important part. Trump 1.0 didn’t have carte blanche to get away with everything, the SCOTUS and a more compliant Congress have given 2.0 that authority.

And if it is, and he can, that’s a natural born leader right there if I ever saw one. Promote ahead of peers (who can’t helicopter penis). Meritocracy.
