As an individual territory, the U.S. is isolated. As an empire, we have bases on every continent. The risk isn't being killed. It's being declawed.

Not advocating for American imperialism, just clarifying the point.

Ah, yes. One of those good Jim Crow policies.

My brother-in-law has one of these trucks. He still lives with his parents, doesn't tow or haul anything, and works as a janitor. He's paying $350/month on the loan just so he can feel cool.

No, capitalism is feudalism with loot boxes! Because I could win the lottery.

That last point is why I couldn't play Fallout 4. My son was kidnapped, my spouse was killed, and I need to find out who did it and where they are! Right after I save a library, build a town, and solve some detective mysteries, I guess.

Tons. It turns out that when the government said they wanted to invest in American manufacturing and green energy, that meant giving a ton of money to an American manufacturer that is producing wind farms.

This article is four years old. GE did react and right the ship, eventually splitting into three separate companies for the three business sectors they serviced. All of them seem to be doing fine.

You can look for sword art anywhere. I guarantee the library has some books.

Because last time his number one policy promise was to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it. And his number two promise was an alternative to Obamacare.

He's not so great at following through with his promises. That's the only thing non-MAGAs have going for them: he's pretty incompetent.

I bought one when they first came out, and one when they did the $5 liquidation sale when they were discontinued. I wish I'd bought more, just to be safe.

A buddy of mine got "OUCH" on the inside of his lip. Ironically, it hurt a lot less than the piece on his shin.

For real. Any gun I could obtain as a private citizen is not going to stand up to the weight of the police, let alone the US military if a true authoritarian regime took over. My right to a hunting rifle doesn't matter when they have tanks and drones.
