Even more so when Dem turn out is so fucking low compared to the Reps. But at this point, what can even overcome all the voter apathy? If voting against fascism doesn’t do it, I have no idea what will.

No shit

Any constitutional amendment has to be ratified by 38/50 states for it to take effect (in the United States)

Yeah, this. I mean that ships have crashed and the government is hiding them/bodies, etc. I don’t know one way or the other if other stuff is living in the entire universe. It would make sense if there was, given the size and all. But there is also no evidence that there are other beings.

I’m not saying that because I think we are special or anything, but I think it’s irresponsible to go around claiming that we aren’t alone either.

I feel really bad for the extraterrestrial believers out there because if they actually exist, the orange moron would have definitely had said something by now as yet another distraction.

He doesn’t care. Republicans in general don’t care. Most of them can barely give a shit even when it will directly affect them, because other people they don’t like have it worse. I fucking hate this timeline.

Lmao, as if ANYTHING embarrasses that fucking moron.

I bought my first gun, a shotgun, two month ago for home defense. I also got some of these home defense rounds, it looks like little plates stacked up inside the shell. I guess they aren’t supposed to penatrate drywall, so they are safer to use inside a house to reduce accidental or unintentional injuries.

There’s a line, apparently.

I mentioned at work, when the conversation turned to the shutdown and the blame was firmly placed on democrats, that both chambers of the legislature and the executive branch are controlled by the same party. And of course o got push back that it’s all because the democrats wouldn’t compromise. And it just feeds like I’m continually slamming my head into a wall when talking to these regular everyday people. The propaganda is so pervasive, it feels like, what even is the point? How do we break our coworkers/family/friends/etc out of the lock? That is the part that I don’t understand.

This is my only social media, so to speak, but irl I mention this any time someone starts talking about one of his distractions. I try not to be jerky about it, just a casual “that sounds like a distraction from the big pedofile list he is on”, that sort of thing.

So yeah, it is kinda preaching to the choir, but I also tend to think of it as keeping this in the forefront of peoples minds. Everything he does is, on some level, a distraction from the Epstein documents he is named in. That seemed to be something he is truly afraid of being released. Even though most of us here already know, agree, and want the files released, the way our news cycle is, it’ll be forgotten in a month, I feel like that is what he is counting on. It worked pretty good in his first term, so I guess I’m just trying to keep this in everyone’s mind. Maybe it’ll make a difference, maybe it won’t.

Its a statistical fact JD Vance eats ChapStick.

No worries. I picked that one up from the bad place (_reddit)

A little stroke, as a treat.

Which is crazy because we know nothing of the person who did the shooting. Who would they even target? (I know the answer to this, but I still think it’s a valid question.)

Says the party that [checks notes] locks up immigrants in “detention centers” with not enough food/medicine.
