Damn. Americans jail even more people and still have a lower satisfaction…

Somewhat glad my grandpa, a WW2 vet isn’t around to see it.

People said the same of Sadam. Trust me, more imperialism can make it worse.

We just took one of their toys: an oil tanker.

I agree people are selfish but I disagree on where that leads us. Acting as a collective is the best way to be selfish. Billionaires have their collectives: corporations; and if you don’t do the same then you are not even selfish, you are just cattle.

I want you to know, as a parent I understand. I love my 3 year old but he is nonstop trying to get a rise out of us.

In recent years we have become increasingly familiar with the thought of death. We ourselves are surprised by the composure with which we accept the news of the death of our contemporaries. We can no longer hate Death so much; we have discovered something of kindness in his features and are almost reconciled to him.

Serving power certainly let’s a person do more, just don’t be surprised when people point out how it isn’t helping.

There were the government shutdowns but they always cave. Then there’s getting arrested while protesting (not breaking the law BTW, just straight up intimidation), which is honestly the bare minimum at this point. Look up Kat Abu for an example.

The west didn’t want to pay the price for their apology for antisemitism so they had the Palestinians pay in land and blood.

Is this before or after the Lord commanded them not to wear mixed fabrics?

His donation pledge was more of a flex because he’s increased his net worth more than he has donated. Also, people who were friends with Epstein should not get to decide where that money goes.

The guy is on the Epstein list and his wife left him because he was too friendly to the guy…

He also fucked over our public education system

How exactly was it brilliant of him to say Mamdani can call him a fascist?

First the pope throws a rave, now this 🤦

Apply this logic to the hospitality industry, where Trump famously got his start. Your hotel hosts dignitaries around the world. If you find out one of your guests invited prostitutes or did drugs you could have leverage over some very powerful people. If there is sewage surveillance, you will see it at the hotels first.

Inviting them to have a seat at the table can send them into a tailspin. It’s kind of funny how they pretend to be the adults in the room while doing so.

It’s the reason my son won’t talk to me.

The truck says “War” on it. This is why voucher schools exists, so that I, as a parent, don’t need to deal with this kind of parent and their kids.

Where I am at there’s triple digit hear warnings, so there is a logic to this. On the other I have used my bicycle to pick up my daughter under such conditions so it is possible, but then she rightfully complains about the heat.
