Doesn’t sound desperate at all. /s

I once threw away baba ghanoush that was intended for dinner because I thought it was discarded remains. I thought I was being helpful, but I was not.

Trump gets in a feud with the Pope. Trump says that the Pope’s brother is “MAGA all the way”. Pope’s brother gets a bomb threat.

I am genuinely confused about what message was supposed to have been sent by the threat.

This is an overly simplified view and missing a lot of complexities, but think of it this way:

The cost to bring something to market is passed to the consumer plus a percentage the Company adds for their profit margin.

Item costs $1.00 to bring to market + 10% for corporate profits = retail price of $1.10 of which the Company makes $0.10.

An increase of item costs to $1.20 to bring to market + the same 10% for corporate profits = retail price of $1.32 of which the Company makes $0.12 for the same thing.

They make more money while passing the go-to-market increase onto you.

Again? Am I having a Mandela Effect moment or wasn’t this decided decades ago to no meaningful change?

“The evil I saw in that White House was staggering. In 2020, I finally said ‘enough,’”

Meanwhile millions of Americans were able to see the evil without having to be inside the White House. Even if she’s genuinely switching sides and changed her religious views or whatever she used to justify the Republicans repeated attacks on female body autonomy and LGBTQ+ equality and voter oppression and defending / prompting sexual abusers and spreading blatant lies about political opponents and diverting funds from social services to billionaires etc etc etc, she’s too oblivious to the suffering of the American people to be a public servant.

Who wants to tell him?

Even if they turn sour on Trump, I bet they will continue to support and vote for everything he stands for and all of the people that protect him and empower him.

This right here.

Annecdotal, but I have never worked for a company nor in a team that did not have a fair share of people that took the work experience route instead of the school route. It took them longer to get to the jobs fresh college grads were applying for and they had to work some shit jobs on the way, but that real-world experience gave them a perspective that college never could and it was a valued resource that provided immense benefits to the teams they worked with.

Is it just me or do the logos for those companies look like drawings of anuses?

They sent Vance? Where they hoping that his presence would result in the untimely demise of the Iranian negoators or where they just wanting to ensure that the negotiations would go nowhere?

Either way, I hope that they burned any sofas wherever he stayed. Skip the blacklight test, just send them strait to the incinerator.

On Halloween they were passing out candy AND ALCOHOL

My sister and her husband pass out cotton candy for the kids and cocktails for the parents on Halloween. They are the favorite house on many people’s trick-or-treat route. They’ve done it for so long that kids that grew up in the area are grown and excited to bring their own children to their house.

I’ve been seeing these type of headlines of Republican “fear” of losing elections due to the horrible shit they do when they are in power. The money behind Republicans don’t care. It’s built into the plan. Republicans just hunker down, switch to obstructionsm to limit undoing the damage they caused and wait for the voters to get fed up with the lack of change and blame the party in power (not the party that created the situation and is preventing it from changing). Then they find themselves back in power and continue burning the world and push for every more oppression.

Is it just me or do most items on that list describe Trump, his appointees, and the GOP leadership?

The digital age will be a mysterious time to future archeologists. We are erasing our history as we write it to all of these replaceable media formats that require specialized tools to read.

By chance, has this cat been watching Chris Hansen’s To Catch a Predator?

Would I be limited to life on this planet? I wouldn’t mind having a go as some alien lifeform on some distant planet.

Supreme Court already decided that the president of the United States has immunity for any and all official acts. There are no laws that apply Trump at the moment. All he has to do is wrap his actions or inactions in some flimsy pretext of it being an official act of the office of the president.

Though I appreciate these cases continuing to slap the Supreme Court justices in the face for their disastrous ruling.

I mean, it’s Russia. What’s he gonna do? Say no? I doubt it.
