It shows you how rigged the voting system is in favor of the Republicans for the presidential election. They have rejected the illusion of democracy at this point let alone the practice.

They have gerrymandered, used religion, the courts, infiltrated voting systems, and not mention constant propaganda with a heavy reliance on othering people to ensure they win even when their numbers are less.

I am in the same boat, I spent $680 on heating oil last month. I would love to move to split-level heat pump system. Most of the work would be running the electrical as the pumps/vents themselves are pretty easy to install.

All these losers with defense fantasy syndrome trying to prey on people is pretty gross. People need to start thinking and stop being reactive.

The nation of immigrants trying to destroy immigrants.

It is pretty crazy, he cut himself a $230 million dollar check that he said the government owed him and didn’t even have to report it. He has unilaterally given foreign governments billions of dollars and bribed US interests with billions as well. He also seems to think the hundreds of billions of tariff money is his to do what he pleases with as well.

Truly this administration has broken so many laws, ethics, norms, etc. that they will go down in history as the most corrupt and criminal administration of all time.

Edit: obligatory so far

Yes, only 10-15% of oil is used for non-fuel purposes. That is a dramatic reduction in demand.

Also, much of our technology has been built around oil due to byproduct availability. We could, in theory, create all the products we use without oil. It would definitely take time, research, and retooling though.

So he lied about having oil companies on board with all this. I think this is perhaps better as originally it seemed like he went around Congress and conspired with oil companies to invade Venezuela.

Who knows anymore though. This could just be oil companies covering their ass in case there was some truth to them having foreknowledge of the invasion.

At least Pence had some pushback and opinions about Trump’s antics. Vance literally crawls out of Trump’s ass everyday just so he can kiss it before he crawls back in.

I think it is challenging not judging history through a modern lense. I am definitely guilty of examining the “founding fathers” through this modern lense and coming to conclusions that weren’t possible for them at the time.

Move the slider completely over to feelings and you have most US news in a nutshell. There may be some facts, but it is really about the feels.

Apparently there are a bunch of bombs about to expire. Got to do something with them amiriiight!

Rapist says what?

Jack-booted thug says what?

Whatever the oppressor needs to tells us to buy more guns. I don’t make it a habit to listen to jack-booted thugs.

But what about second rape?

And you know you are the oppressor.

Yep, and you are wearing them.

I am sure all the people dead from the proliferation of guns to satisfy corporate profits appreciate your advocacy for more death.

Wow, that is a long way to say 2nd amendment nutters support ICE.

Guns have always been the problem and have never been the solution.

Yeah, dumb take.

The Americans at the time were way worse than the British. The Boston Massacre was a great example of propaganda that was pushed by the wealthy’s news outlets to divide the colonists.

The founding father’s were manipulative fucks that used terror and lies to take control of the colonies for their own interests.

Washington was on his way to becoming the first billionaire adjusted for inflation. This just reinforces there are no good guys.
