Senate Democrats couldn’t overwhelm anything right now.

And you just assume that immigrants would be dependant forever instead of a massive benefit. All evidence of US history to the contrary.

Yeah the lure of power won’t sway them because the point of them holding power is to KEEP the working class from influencing policy.

Democracy will not save us. People that won’t vote unless they fall in love can fall out of love much more easily.

Do vote, it’s low effort and it can make a marginal difference. Just make your plans assuming you party will lose and if they win they will disappoint.

I wish American Voters had memories longer than 4 years. But they don’t.

They got pissed at Bush and the Republicans in 2006 for the war and in 2008 for crashing the economy.

And 2 years later in 2010 they voted in a red wave not seen since reconstruction.

Donald Trump tried to overthrow the government and 4 years later they gave him another chance. If Trump shot a crowd of people on 5th avenue the kids of the victims would vote for him 4 years later.

The founders knew who they were talking about.

And it wasn’t dirty mud peasants.

Now you are getting it.

It’s not ok, but neither was the original limited liability.

I’m one generation down from easy migration. Same with my wife.

Would be hella scary to emigrate. We don’t speak the language. I figure most dutch people speak English but it would be really isolating. We don’t have skills that would let us get jobs easily. We have significant health issues.

We won’t unless we must.

That is a very specific and unusual circumstance.

Shorts have to be bought back after the term. You borrow it, sell it, and buy it back after so much time and give it back to the lender. You think the stock is shit so when you buy it back it will be lower cost than what you sold for and you keep the difference.

Too many shorts all at the same time and now everyone is buying it back and driving up the price, but that just rarely happens, and when it does happen it will work itself out in a few days or weeks.

I’m not certain that’s true. Even if he knew it was bullshit at some point. If you surround yourself with bullshit you stop being able to smell it.

You can come to believe a lie you tell yourself long enough and hard enough. He is surrounded by enablers who are also lying to themselves.

It doesn’t matter what he believes. He does need consequences.

Shorting would drop the price.

He got himself on the news in the runup to the Florida special elections.

The Senate is not sitting around with a bunch of time on their hands. If nothing gets done for a day a day of something is getting pushed back.

One point. Never recorded a CD from the radio.

The encyclopedia belonged to my grandparents, but I lived there and used it.

They don’t want poc or women to be career.

They want women pregnant, so they are “safe” in that sense. They want white officers commanding brown conscripts to go do the dying.

Russia has a larger army than any European country. Only Ukraine comes close, and they have veterancy only rivaled by the US and Ukraine.

(Ukraine probably wins on veterancy)

Sure, if Europe acts with Unity, they can roflstomp Russia, but Moscow would be looking for a moment of crisis to exploit.

Irrelevant to Putin. It matters a lot to Europe and Ukraine.

They absolutely can.

Russia has thousands of men willing to fight in horrendous conditions.

A few thousand soldiers that are very well equipped might lose to 10x as many badly equipped enemies.

I think they would lose, but they might not think so.

You think they are going after Maga? Most of them aren’t even going after pedofiles!

“less oversight than police.” A bar so low you need a shovel to get under it.
