The Vatican had nothing to gain by having the Pope meet with Vance. Trump wanted the meeting so he could lie about what happened at it.
Trump: "Daaaaaaahhh, so the Pope came up to Mr Vance (with tears in his eyes) and said, “please Mr Vance, could we make Donald Trump a Saint? We’re begging you. We’re down on our knees, here. We’re totally begging you.”
Capitalism today looks nothing like capitalism in the 1950s. Back then, a family could easily survive on the income of one person. With money left over to pay for college education, a car and a house.
That is not the situation today, where most Americans have NO retirement savings. Unless you’re redefining what capitalism IS, then that’s a problem caused by the people in charge (oligarchs).
A good sense of humor helps a lot. Also, if you want to avoid getting bogged down by nonsense, it’s a good idea to develop your critical thinking skills. That depends on having good sources of information that you trust.
There’s a huge difference between capitalism and oligarchy. What we have is oligarchy. All the worst parts of capitalism. 19th century robber-baron “capitalism.”
Karl Marx said a lot of things about socialism and collectivism a hundred years ago, but he’s not in charge anymore. The rich oligarchs who replaced him are saying this. You keep saying “but they SAID they were SOCIALISTS” and all I see is Sponge Bob’s eyes, filling up with tears because he just can’t believe that some rich assholes are lying to him.
We have people in this country who claim to be “christians” who literally elected the anti-christ. Trump embodies ALL the seven deadly sins, but those folks are just fine with it. So let’s quit pretending that belief systems can’t be exploited.
Musk is another one of these rich, eugenics idiots with a breeding fetish. It’s even creepier because his dick doesn’t work anymore thanks to botched penis surgery. All his kids were conceived through artificial insemination.
The people who told you what socialism or capitalism is, LIED to you. “The good of the people” is a noble-sounding goal. But the reality is that the people who deliberately seek power are . . . for the most part . . . vain, greedy, brutal assholes.
The point is that it’s a class war. It always has been. It’s not about “socialism vs capitalism” or “liberals vs conservatives” or The Romulans vs The Federation. It’s about billionaires vs everybody else. It’s about the cluefull vs the clueless.
Started with Linux Mint. Added the KDE desktop. And I’m done. This distro does everything I want.
Yeah, there’s nothing worse than a bunch of billionaire shitheads, using the media they control to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money. Oh wait, that’s what’s going on Russia, too.
There are no “good guys” here. Just billionaire assholes exploiting everybody.
This is why I want to see AOC as a candidate and NOT Harris. We need a candidate who is less, “reaching across the aisle” and more “boots on necks.”
I could play single-player games like Witcher 3 over and over for the next 5 years and not miss a single thing put out by EA, Bethesda, etc. We’ve got other stuff to do.
“They’ve got about 10 months to wrap a bow around this and say, ‘See, I told you so,’ or you’re going to start seeing political headwinds,” Tillis said.
This is what “stalling for time” looks like.
Your “job” won’t be anything more complicated than putting screws in the back of iPhones for minimum wage.
No company is going to waste years and billions of dollars building a manufacturing plant in the U.S. if the Dynamite Monkey in Chief can destroy it on a whim.
Yup. The non-voters had a choice between boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil and felt “sending a message” was more important.
This. Especially these morons rapping about “the Man keeping them down” when they’re literally working FOR “the man” and they’re covered in gold bling. Congratulations. You just made a bunch of rich, white record executives even richer, while doing NOTHING for the people you claim to care about.
Elon Musk: “XEGG”
(the ‘X’ makes it Extra Cool)
"Move Windows to the ‘Cloud’ "
Only $349 + whatever the Window Live subscription fee is, now. What an idiotic idea.
There is nothing as weak, delicate and fluffy as a MAGA.
Your “friend” is an idiot. You should not share anything personal with her. This situation is NOT normal. Take a deep breath. Sit down and write out what’s going on between you and your dad. See if your state has a CPS website and find out what the process is for reporting abuse (and find out what they consider to BE abuse. I’m pretty sure deliberate starvation qualifies.).
Do you have any friends outside the home you trust and can stay with, short term? Cops aren’t going to be useful, here. They’re not CPS or mental health caregivers and they’ll probably just take you back home to your dad.
