Fuck no

He doesn’t give a fuck. He already has the power he wants and he’ll never give it away. He only leaves that office in a body-bag.

They did. They didn’t care. It was all theatrics. They all get paid by the same billionaires.

Hawley is a fucking moron.

And does anyone think he gives a shit? He’s in. He’s immune. He will not leave other than in a body-bag.

I answered someone else who replied to this comment with one of the flaws that I see… You say ‘many’ and I’d be interested in hearing the others.

The biggest flaw is baked into the system… credit cards generally make everything cost a little bit more because vendors bake the processing fees into their sale prices. You may get a small percentage of your expenditures back from your credit card, but not nearly as much as the mark-up you’ve paid. The effect is a tax on yourself and everyone else. The tax is worse on those who don’t use credit cards because they don’t even get a partial refund.

The law used to be that you could offer a cash discount, but you couldn’t charge extra for using a credit card. That law changed and now many places are adding a surcharge if you use a credit card. You might note, however, that prices didn’t go down 3-5% everywhere. So now the retailers are double-dipping… they have the credit card fees baked into their pricing and then they’re having those who use credit cards pay the fee explicitly.

I still think there are solid cases for using credit over debit if you are able to pay the bill in full every month to avoid any interest and late fees.

I nearly universally refuse to use a debit card and use a credit card for everything and then pay it off every month. The system is broken, but this is the best use of the system.

He’s our ‘acting’ president, too…

Did Trump actually find someone with legal standing to file the charges this time or are they going to be thrown out with like those filed by the other cos players?

Why would someone who has been repeatedly certified as being in perfect health take a fat drug?

First step is to quit voting them in as POTUS… Second step is to put them in jail where they belong.

ok… and?

I use cast iron on electric and am 100% happy with both. I have a mix of pans that I bought new and acquired used. One of them was quite rough and I restored it. I find them extremely easy to use and cleanup.

What he means is that when the chain of command orders it, it’s lawful. He’s wrong, but that is what he means.

Oh fuck off, asshole… you need to be thrown in prison.

What do you want to talk about, then?

let’s circlejerk about MAGA.

I agree. There’s no debate to be had. Just like there is no debate to be had about whether vaccines cause autism. However, you are refusing to engage. You could have said, "Yes, MAGA is awful and that’s not the conversation I’d like to have. However, you didn’t do that. You literally (intentionally or unintentionally) defended MAGA and then complained again that there just isn’t any nuance.

You aren’t seeing nuanced conversations because you’re watching one side disavow law, science, and decency and then pretending that we should give a rat’s ass what they have to say.

Again… you’re asking for rational people to play a high-stakes game of chess with a pigeon and then getting upset that, instead, they shoo away the pigeon. You need to respond that you understand this, that you disagree with it, or something. Again, your very behaviors are why you’re not seeing nuanced conversations – giving you the benefit of the doubt that this is actually what you want.

And, I propose that what you are doing is part of the problem and why you’re not seeing the nuanced conversation you’re seeking. You’re literally making excuses and space for MAGA. You are deflecting and changing the topic. You are coming across as disingenuous. Part of having a nuanced conversation is that you must participate in it and do so in good-faith. Don’t waste my or anyone else’s time with this virtue signaling. You are why people aren’t having the conversation you profess to want to see happening. Any further questions?

The problem goes a lot further than just MAGA

Yes, it does. And, if you’re willing to engage in a good faith conversation, we can have that discussion. Here’s the thing; MAGA and its leaders are patently bad. Not every person associated with MAGA is bad. We can talk in good faith about where the line is for the second group. We can talk in good faith about about what forces are in play that create this situation.

However, there is no good faith conversation to be had in defense of MAGA and its leaders.

Your turn…

MAGA and the rest of their racist/fascist bunch have zero interest in good faith discussion. As such, others who might have engaged in discussion in the past are no longer choosing to waste their time doing so. It’s too much like playing chess with a pigeon, but with substantial consequences.
