Trump would suffer no political fallout from holding up a baby to keep from getting shot. Unfortunately, real life is much worse than that movie.

I change mine to white text on blue background a la Commodore 64.

This. And if one of the lesser progressive or AIPAC funded candidates get the nomination, I will speak out against their problematic policy positions and try to get them to move away from these views right up until election day (at which time I will go into the voting booth, hold my nose, suppress my gag reflex, and vote for whoever the D choice is (who will always be better than the R choice, at least at the state and national level).

Blackrock Inc. owns the most shares in Papa John’s. Shaq just owns around a dozen franchises in the Atlanta area and was on the Board of Directors until he stepped down in 2024.

I think that was requirement for the various forms of financial aid you could get.

Perhps it is not fair to say, but actually looks evil to me.

This sounds a little to close to “when they go low, we go high”. If the mainstream media had been willing to vilify Trump back in 2016 (even with lies of omission and sensational headlines), maybe he would have never gotten near the GOPedo nomination. Instead we have been fed a steady diet of civility and normalization.

How many people wouldn’t use the words “unserious” or “completely unfamiliar” to describe this candidacy if they were coming out of the mouth of a middle-aged, white male.

Personally I am for staying on Daylight savings time permanently, rather than getting rid of it. But getting permanently off of it is preferably to the back and forth every year.

This. Along the same lines, I have to make myself little notes, using real stickies, computer stickies, and phone reminders I or will almost always forget to do or go to whatever it is I am trying not to forget.

The suspension of disbelief that this giant orange milksop would ever enlist or fight for anything is too great, sorry.

United States

Land of the free, home of the brave - UNTRUE

Separation of church and state - UNTRUE

With a little hard work and determination anyone can achieve their (American) dream - LAUGHABLY UNTRUE

Ridiculous amounts of wealth very unevenly distributed - TRUE

I hope the orange shit-baby removes tax exempt status from the Catholic Church over this.

He is like a spoiled child, just like his shitstain cabinet. I wish there were some way we could identify those who voted for him in 2016, 2020, or 2024 and tattoo an orange T on their foreheads so they could never go anywhere again without ridicule and harassment.

So, of the (apparently) 7.4% who do want unification (either right away or after waiting some unspecified period), what percentage of that 7.4% mean unification under PRC and how many unification under ROC rule?

The graph also shows that (since 1994) those two groups that want unification (whether now or later) have fallen from 20% to the current 7.4%.

The number who want independence at some later date has almost tripled since 1994 (8.0% ti 21.9%), whereas the number who want independence immediately or a.s.a.p. is very small and has barely changed (3.1% to 4.4%).

It suggests to me that whatever else most Taiwanese want they do not want conflict or violence with mainland China.

It certainly doesn’t suggest that any significant percentage of Taiwanese want reunification with the PRC today. Anybody have any insights into the nitty gritty details of the 30 years of polling or whether or not we should be suspicious of the Election Study Center at NCCU?

Like dogs begging for a treat…

Serious questions, not snark: Why does it matter who came in 2nd vs 3rd and why is the story being titled “Greens crush Labor” almost everywhere I see it? Is there something transformational about this single MP election?

I don’t think I would be able to keep myself from destroying it…accidentally, of course.

Maybe some extra-judicial trials followed by “sentencing”?
