Oh, really? At risk like a young girl targeted and groomed by a mature woman? Get forked, Maxwell.

This is cringe, right?

I found this TikTok very informative. I will not be patronizing Wendy’s (i do like their iced tea) any longer. But the important info is about the myth that farmers cannot afford to pay farm workers a living wage.

Yeah, I think that's all probably true, but man, I know information bubbles are strong, but you'd have to really twist yourself in knots to think that Trump was the right person for that issue.

I think the right-wing ecosystem spun the Epstein case into their narrative that there's a deep-state/elite conspiracy that overlaps with the Democrat pedophile conspiracy and Epstein's death was another in the...

I find some of the hard core MAGA's reaction to this perplexing. I had assumed they'd just brush it aside like everything else -- I mean we already know Trump hung out with Epstein. We've already seen his name on the...

I also assume it's a fake... seems on brand from him though (Gaetz).

It depends on the elasticity of the demand curve for the product. The more inelastici it is, the more prices will rise.The main thing to be aware of is tariffs are a sales tax that the importer pays. The downstream...

Oh they will succeed in passing it along.What you mean is will they succeed in selling the goods/products at a higher cost.So, now tell us what happens when a company HAS to either eat costs on products/goods...

Why does CNN and other mainstream media keep using the term "other nations/country" will be charged x %" That is deliberately misleading.They should write the truth - "US importers will be charged x % when...

A week into his second presidency, Donald Trump signed an executive order banning transgender Americans from enlisting or serving in the U.S. military. And in early June, the U.S. Department of Defense — under...

And Vance has the personality of a wet towel. He could never become a cult leader

The sheer density of those who thought that this was going to be clean and limited to criminal types was always beyond foolish. The focus now is on arrests at immigration court (where clearly the migrants are trying...

in two weeks the news cycle will have shifted and this wont be "front page" news any longer.Its a tried/true tactic he employs. Same with tariffs.Then, if we DO, it wont be THAT big of deal because we will have...

Woah... that's out of line bub... Ranged fighters are a perfectly useful part of a healthy D&D party.

People acting in self-serving, bad faith always turn on each other. They can't help themselves. It's the real world dynamic that the Sith's Rule of Two is based on.

This really is devastating to transgender children and their families. This is nothing more than naked aggression against kids based on the political class' own discomfort. I feel so freaking sad for people who are...

But that's a choice to frame it like that.Lots of people attempting to cross a border and being apprehended for doing so doesn't itself indicate an open or even a loose border policy; they're being apprehended...

Maybe if they didn't have to subsidize other states and could keep their money local, they could pay down that debt .. :)

Yes, this is the sort of thing that helps frame the discussion in what the explicit costs are.

“ In this report, the Congressional Budget Office estimates how the surge in immigration that began in 2021 affected state and local budgets in 2023. In addition to estimating the direct effects of the surge, CBO...

That was the bipartisan bill proposed in 2024, that was shot down by Trump. At this point, I think the solution is to start talking about the issue honestly. It's not about law and order. So, let's define the risks...

The point is, just saying something is a crime is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition to justify spending billions of dollars, suspending rights -- or really getting people all worked up over it.What...

All this wouldn't bThe problem is that this is being carried out by someone convicted of 34 felonies and pardoned people who beat up cops. Obviously this isn’t about some noble intention to uphold the law.Try...

All the debating and arguing in our country and I find myself settling on that same point. The prevalent argument against undocumented immigrants is the fallback that “well, it’s illegal”. Okay, but just maybe it’s...

I forgot about the profanity filter and was trying to figure out why you were wearing a ridiculous shirt
