Right, that's why I said in the larger picture. Before Reagan, taxing the rich and a living minimum wage were standard. Now it's considered radical. But we've definitely moved back to the left since then.

I mean taxing the rich and a livable minimum wage used to be acceptable. But due to the rightward slide, the tax rate from most of the 20th century and livable single income minimum wages would be considered radical now.

In the larger picture the rightward trend is kind of true on economic fronts.

But yeah, since the 90s we've slowly moved left.

These Bethesda open world games take a LONG time to make. Even if they knew it was going to be made 7 years from now, there's no guarantee it will be good or that it won't be shelved. It's better to just go at your own pace.

Anything that makes "white kids" uncomfortable or "guilty" is being banned which 100% includes the mention of slavery.

Or maybe parents shouldn't tie their identity to traitorous states that murdered Americans so rich people could own black people.

I think he's testing loyalty in the party. I think he wants exactly who he has chosen.

Every pick has been specifically chosen to be bad for their role.

Gaetz was 100% chosen for ATTORNEY GENERAL because of the accusations.

I just started watching Scrubs and it's phenomenal. Terrible for binging though because most episodes have some kind of emotional gut punch storyline.

We shouldn't have normalized letting traitors run for office. But SCOTUS deemed the constitution "unenforceable".

We need to normalize the constitution. But people acted like the 14th amendment was "novel" and now there's precedence.

 

The secretary of state's response filed Monday agrees that a staff member got an e-mail asking for a copy of what to submit. It states that a staff member replied with a Word document.

However, the response states that what the staffer emailed was "an internal recordkeeping document" and not any sort of template. The response states that no such template exists.

The response also denies Arkansans for Limited Government's claim that attorneys and representatives with the secretary of state's office assured the group it had filed the necessary paperwork.

I was just thinking about Marvel stuff that has gotten unfair negativity. So I was wondering what people are liking. Not just controversial stuff. Just, whatever you're into at the moment.

What Marvel stuff are you watching right now that you're enjoying?
