There are 77 million Trump voters. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature. Why? Because they're morons. Like Bobby here.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Most of the stars that *have* names have Arabic names. Arabic contributions to astronomy are significant, but before we started handing out prizes.

Am I missing a connection between Brazilian politics and US politics? I really don’t see the correlation. Black Women are disrespected in US Politics all together. Lefitist hate black women so telling them to pay attention to a Black Trans Woman from Brazil isn’t making sense here.

Don’t believe the polls! People put their hoods on in the privacy of the voting booth. Do NOT take these numbers as permission not to vote. Make your plan, follow through and let’s get these do-nothing, grifting Republican fuckers out of Congress with numbers too big to rig!!
These numbers are telling. CBS News projects Democrats at 229 House seats to Republicans’ 206. Look at what voters are saying: • 65% say the economy is bad. • 57% say Trump’s policies have hurt them financially. • DON’T MISS THIS: 83% say government corruption is a major factor in their vote.

UCLA fired me as DEI Director—a clear First Amendment violation—after LibsofTikTok sent my Charlie Kirk posts viral and VP Vance ordered bigots to complain to UCLA that I was “celebrating” Kirk’s death. Old enough to recall Justice RBG in the hospital—Republicans were outside PRAYING for her death.

That's why it's ridiculous to wait for boomers or silent to die off. They've passed it down. Some reject it. Some are casual with it. Some run full throttle with it. Racism is sewn into the fabric of the stars and stripes. It ain't going nowhere. But we need to reject it again with voices & hands.
Hi, yes? This guy f- right off. And so can the little kid who said this to my kid at school. The danger isn’t one old guy. It’s that he gives permission to all of the other racists-in-waiting.

Basically what the author is trying to do is erase the 1965-1974 GenXer (I guess we are Boomers) and create a new generation out of people born from 1975 to 1985. That's not how it works. We can also get into the racial implications of branding suburban White youth as the definition of GenX too.

Of course. Cleared of criminal liability, they can resign and keep their pensions. 🤬 After all, what's the life of a Black baby worth? Monsters. Reuters won't even refer to Kohen Wiley by name in their headline.

This could create a tactical escalation: equip the robot with razor-sharp leading and trailing leg ridges to cut bola rope or fiber fishing line. Response: instead of rope or fiber, make your Bola using thin steel flexible cable like that found in light aircraft control systems. An arms race.
An ancient low-tech device could help: The Bola. Aim for the legs.

Y'all don't get that the ACA was truly transformative change? That Biden's BBB bill was transformative, so was the Maternal Health iniative and the student loan forgiveness program. I think your issue here is that YOU personally don't feel that YOU personally have benefitted.
