Controversial statement: not all millionaires/billionaires are evil. Factual statement: there is a minority/majority that can't stand for anyone to get ahead on life because that, in some unquantifyable way, makes their vast wealth less impressive/powerful. Narcissism run amok.

With his obvious complete lack of understanding of how things work, what do you think the odds are Cheeto Mussolini floated the idea of nuking blue states?

Just watched Max Miller explain how totally innocent he is and I instantly hated the skeevy ratfvcker. I wouldn't believe him if he said the sun rose in the East.

Dumbest thing I've heard today: "In ancient Rome musicians were often slaves or free men..." So....anyone? And what would be the third option? Trained monkeys?

Let me get this straight. In Trumplandia Graham's death being the result of a conspiracy is perfectly sane but the pope suddenly dying the day after meeting with JD Vance is crazy....

I've been accused of being jealous of the rich. Not true. I hate the hoarding of odscene wealth and at the expense of 90% of the population and the delusional opinion that somehow they're superior and deserve it.

Just heard a new term: "Stealth Republican". Plattner, Fetterman, Tillerson, Sinema, Gabberd. The GOP may actually be recruiting wolves in sheep's clothing.

If, and this is a HUGE if, McConnell is in a hospital he's in intensive/critical care and for security(secrecy) they have him isolated. It begs the question: how many critical care beds are empty so the ancient turtle isn't seen? If your loved one needed one of those beds I guess they're expendable.

What if Russia's constant attacks on Ukraine are multipurpose? A: Conquer Ukraine B: Maintain the assault in a manner that bleeds the defensive capabilities of Europe in defense of Ukraine down to a point where Putin thinks he can just walk into every country while threatening nuclear destruction.

First loves are always intense and usually brief. But when they are around long enough to carve out a place in your heart no amount of time or distance can fill it's surprising how empty their passing can make you feel. It's then that you understand "gone but not forgotten" isn't just a platitude.

Used to be get the first appointment of the day yo see your doctor so they won't be behind. Now it's get the first appointment of the day so your doctor will be the least amount behind. Doctors seem to have little understanding that patients have obligations of their own.

That awkward moment when you realize every company you worked for from ages 18 to 42 no longer exist thus making any job application's work history sound like you've either made it up or are the living harbinger of corporate death.

Leg swelling (edema) is usually caused by fluid buildup from standing or sitting too long, minor injuries, or diet. However, it can also signal serious underlying issues like blood clots, poor circulation, or organ problems.

The reason blue collar people don't, for the most part, run for public office is they simply can't afford to lose the wages they would forfeit taking the time off to run a campaign. And that is by design.

I think the Trump regime is deliberately trying to rig FIFA for America's team with all these shenanigans with other countries VISAS and such. Or... they're placing bets on certain teams and trying to influence events.

Of course one should hold political candidates to a higher degree of scrutiny than the average schmuck. But refusing to vote for candidates, or protest votes for third parties, because they aren't pure as the driven snow when their opposition is worse is the height of unrealistic expectations.

There is nothing more abhorrent to the corrupt than the virtuous because when held up to comparison their flaws and hypocrisy become blatantly obvious.

There is nothing more abhorrent to the donor class than a person making a decent wage, owning their home and secure in their retirement. It's almost like satisfaction with such simple goals invalidates their constant quest for validation through greed. As if being rich makes you better than others.

Trump is dumping east wing debris onto a public golf course. Hmmm that couldn't be done out of spite or malice for golf courses that compete with his could it?

I am firmly convinced insurance companies requiring you to go to physical therapy for conditions requiring surgery to correct BEFORE approving said surgery is the equivalent of your coaches saying "walk it off" after a serious injury.

On the left is the presidential candidate shielding himself from a potential shooter with a baby from the movie "The Dead Zone". On the right is Stephen Miller shielding himself with his pregnant wife...

How many nods to other movie franchises are there in "Jurassic World Rebirth"? I counted at least 5. Alien Jaws Raiders Cloverfield (final boss dinosaur design) Star wars (rancor scene) And...of course the original Jurassic Park

To the person with the handicapped placard who cut me off to take a regular parking spot 10ft closer than the next available handicapped spot resulting in me parking 100yrds further away: fvck you.

Just came back from a memorial service for a relative disgusted. No less than 3 evangelical preachers spent @ 60 of 90 minutes doing recruitment for their church and damn little else. Any mention of my relation was exclusively couched in their love of Jeebus and the and joy the church gave them.

I have an idea for a new sporting event. Each year the NFL team with the worst record should play an exhibition game of flag football against MLB team with the best record. And the best NFL team plays a game of softball against the worst MLB team.

Interesting exercise on futility trying to rebutt a MAGAt comment on MSN article. Their "community standards" allow pretty obvious/insulting comments from MAGAtards but slams down any reply that's more than the most mild of rebukes. I guess anything for clicks right?
