Because money is speech and he has more of it to shove down the worlds throat than literally anyone else.

Hey leave jelly roll out of it.

Ok so you’re west of me and not east of me, but we agree on the need for basic life skills in the curriculum here. How not to bounce a check and fluid dynamics.

if everyone understood basic fluid dynamics concepts

Man, y’all have a much higher bar over there.

Things about the 80s were pretty great, but the widespread parental neglect is probably why following generations are having this reaction.

Every single thing. I’d be totally unsurprised if they were actually eating dogs.

Y’all must be too young for batboy.

Sorry to focus on this point but gas is subject to a fairly fluid global market. I’ve been driving a car since Clinton and have never noticed Republicans being better for gas prices or the price of anything, if anything it’s the opposite.

Get out of the left lane if you’re just gonna sit typing on your phone.

Hey now, I love pussy. Lets go with “cowards”.

*They lack the empathy to care that problems that don’t impact them directly are real

FTFY

If you know Howell’s history it’s easy to guess it’s there, but it’s a shame. Cute town.

Ok so, how did they do that?

Gillibrand is only 57, she’s got at least 40 good years left.

I think “single for a reason” is what all that attachment theory shit is trying to help contextualize. It specifically sets the context as “single for a fixable reason” if you have the courage and humility to do the work.

Nixon, Reagan, HW Bush, W Bush, Trump. Did I miss one?

I’m more cynical about the DNC than anybody but - people daydream all the time about what could happen in the future if this or that happens. Some asshole right winger started daydreaming about taking over the Supreme Court back in the 1970s and it doesn’t mean that he planned it all out but you can still think about the next few moves to be ready if the opportunity arises.

Somebody in the DNC imagined this scenario many months/years ago and talked about it to their bosses. Gaming out the possibilities and having the slide deck ready is how wild, game changing moves like this end up happening.

Awesome, thank you :)

Did you learn it from a meme on Lenny and have you verified that it’s true? I didn’t, and I’d like to believe that stat.

“They didn’t own the liberals. They owned the conservatives. They stole this money from their own constituency. And Bannon, having promised that he would not take any money, did the same thing.“

And that’s the reptilian genius of these guys. It’s much easier to fool someone than to convince someone they’ve been fooled. By taking fools’ money, the fools now have skin in the game. It will eventually turn around on them though, because it always does. I just hope it happens soon enough.
