I meant to comment on the post above this one. Which is why it is out of place.
Just want to add that the biggest objection that I have heard from coworkers and friends about making recreational Marijuanna legal is the smell. Walk around a downtown in any state it is legal for recreation in and the smell is everywhere.
Non-users don’t want to smell burning weed or tabacco as they go about their day.
It is really not, Trump is a symptom of people despising the status quo and feeling helpless in an unfair system.
Trump has tapped into a populist message. Of course he will only do what is in his self interest and does not give a shit about his supporters. But to the average person who just consumes Fox News and social media he looks like he can change the world for them… Or at least hurt those who are hurting them.
The right wing media has steadily eroded social norms and echo’s the extreme right when they call for violence against the left.
It’s not to far of a leap to say that an ignorant victimized populace which has been desensitized to violence and wants to punish those who they believe have hurt them would cheer just as hard as the left when a CEO of a deeply unpopular company is killed.
The right has been feeding the population violence and extremism for years. All the while targeting their anger toward other groups while taking advantage of the population. I don’t think they understand the monster they have created.
The great thing is, it is a race in which everyone wins!
That’s what I think as well. The assassin hopped on a bike and pedaled off to Central Park.
Personally I think he had a different clothes going into the city. Changed in CP, Stole a bike, then biked to the hotel did the deed. Biked back to CP ditched the clothes and bike and left the city.
Hairstyles are close but the highlights and glasses on the 2nd girl from the top right look very 90s. Also shoes on the blond on lower right look more 9s era than 70s era.
Zelensky has to hedge his bets and play nice with Republicans.
Even if the Orange fuckwad looses you don’t want to appear to snub his base or give other Republicans a reason to oppose further aid legislation.
I mean they will oppose it because a third of the Republican Party are Putin’s shills, but don’t give them reasons to oppose it.
He retired from his role at Google a few years ago so yeah…
But he is still a typical C-Suite asshole. Blame workers for strategic corporate failures (Googles competition all offer WFH) and take personal credit (and bonuses) for any and all successes.
I think there is more nuance here. In all my direct interactions with Chinese people in business they have been polite, responsive and intelligent. I still get messages from them long after I left the industry I was in.
The CCP however is a different story. I am opposed to them as much as I am opposed to any person or organization that seeks to usurp or silence an individuals right to self determination. There are certainly domestic threats to that right which are greater than the CCPs.
Do you mean the J-17 which was jointly developed by Pakistan and China. Who have a vested interest in trying to sell the J-17 to other parts of the world… if so then yes that very same plane.
This is such a bullshit article. Yeah the NRA is a terrible organization and there are a lot of reasons to attack them. But attacking the educational, gun safety and shooting sports programs that they offer or fund is complete bullshit and is detrimental to the public good.
This is like saying we shouldn’t offer driving classes because one day a student might get into an accident.
Correlation is not causation.

I’ve been to strip clubs in Canada a few times. Their dollar is a coin (Loonie). When I walked in they gave me a handful of coins for change and I wondered how this would work.
In the two clubs I visited the dancers did two sets. Then it was “game time”. Basically the stripper would come back with a pitcher and you could chuck coins at her and bounce them into the pitcher. One of the clubs I was in had two levels… there is nothing more satisfying than bouncing a coin off a strippers ass from two stories up and making it into the pitcher.
