You bring up a great point. Does Donald have a certificate showing he doesn’t have donkey brains?

It’s all his supporters up in the hills that catch on fire anyways. California had more people vote for Donald Trump than anywhere else. Every time he threatens them and they clap I have to wonder if they realize they’re hurting themselves in their own confusion. (Short answer, they don’t)

If you’re talking about adjustable rear view mirrors then I think one of the last and only cars to do it was the 90s Mercedes Benz S class. They had it memory linked with steering and seating. It was weird and cool.

Also, if you’re charging your car in a PG&E area you’re technically giving them more money since the gas they provide is natural gas and not petroleum gas. You’d be sticking it to BP or Cheveron (or standard oil if you want to go old school).

Trump calling Springfield officials: “I just need you to find and eat 11,780 pets”

This is exactly a problem of negligence. SS isn’t a fucking tree. It doesn’t just grow naturally. We have to put money into it and maintain that system, and not drain the coffers when we want to go bomb brown people in far away lands. When that system has been in place for decades and then someone doesn’t maintain it before me (I’m only 30 so I’ve only contributed about 12 years of my life to SS) but boomers worked for 40-50 years and kept trying to stop paying into it or taking from it, then they caused the problems. It’s not short sighted to call them out since they have had the most amount of time and have been the largest group of both voting and working blocks.

SS is going to fail or be dried up by the time I hit 60 since we keep running into issues with it. At best those of us under 45 will have to figure out a new solution and rework the system so that we can pay for the failure and misgivings of those before us. You can try and sit on a high horse about not wanting to blame the older generations, but they’re literally the ones with the voting power and money to make this all work smoothly and they didn’t do shit. If you’re younger like me then you too will be paying for their fuck up. You can’t live off the knowledge you gained from realizing too late that the older generations fucked us. We cant eat knowledge, we can’t live in learning from past mistakes, and we can’t drink the warm idea of knowing we sat around and problem solved as a team.

The people on social security at this point had decades to vote and make sure that the country was properly contributing to that social safety net. Instead they gutted it and allowed it to become hollow. Now they can suffer the consequences of their actions, or lack thereof.

If you’re from the west coast of the US that seems to be a more West Coast thing. I recently went to Chicago and was amazed at how clean it was. The Lyft driver told me it was the cleanest city in the country (and possibly the world since he grew up outside of the states) but I wasn’t prepared for it. I walked everywhere in the city and there just wasn’t a single piece of trash anywhere. We actively looked too.

Those yellow bump things for blind people. They need to follow a spec that then in turn cart manufacturers, wheelchair manufacturers, and wagon cart manufacturers all build around so that when I travel over them they don’t jostle my whole cart around and tip over my drink.

No, we have to pray first. Give me your thoughts. They’re needed before we make the monthly (weekly??? Daily???) sacrifice of children in this country.

Now I know emotions are all running high, and we’re all shocked and scared by yet another senseless act of violence (or mental illness if white, act of terror if brown). However, now is not the time to start talking about things like “gun control” and “approval lists.” How about we schedule sometime on March 31st around 7:30am EST and we can all sit down for 15 minutes and discuss ways to prevent the next tragedy. However I cannot stress it enough that NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO POLITICIZE THIS.

Fuck yeah. I’m in support of that. I’d like to stop both hostile land grabs, Ukraine, and the West Bank. Cutting off US support beyond weapons for Israel too until they back off the West Bank and negotiate legitimately for the release of hostages.
