So few people in the Trump Whitehouse could pass a background check. The solution was to suspend background checks. Clearance was just given out.

The superhero movies would say otherwise.

They make the studios a lot of money with a very similar formula.

Would new Forest live through the 90s-20s instead of the 50s-90s?

I’m not sure it’d make a good story. The technology is what changed the world in the past 30 years. The 1960s were a super tumultuous time and make a good sorry.

You’ve been lied to. Recycling plastic was never about saving the planet. It was too get consumers to be okay polluting with plastic. That isn’t changing. Recycling plastic is not the answer. It never was. The oil lobby spent millions to trick you into using plastic.

The article says that new recycling processes just create other pollution.

To solve this, we stop using petroleum based plastic.

They’re both spyware.

Do people just not brush their teeth after every meal?

In the USA the norm is morning and evening. Twice a day. Only at home.

Across my life in corporate America, I’ve seen a few people doing it after lunch, but it’s very rare.

This is a podcast transcript. I listened to it years ago. It’s what I’m basing my ideas on.

It was a fascinating listen.

I’m not familiar with in n out. Most chain burger places cost their fries in chemicals to make them crunchy longer. A natural cut fry becomes unappetizing like 10 minutes after it’s out if the fryer.

There are trade offs with each way.

One is “cleaner” or maybe purer One has a better customer experience

And a fact checker that will interrupt blatant lies.

Trump says things that are incorrect and asserts that reality is a lie.

Fox news classified themselves as entertainment so that law didn’t apply to them.

If that’s the case, why didn’t they pass any meaningful bill in the first 2 years of his presidency?

He didn’t champion anything, so Congress didn’t give him any bills to sign that he wanted.

It’s not 3d chess. Hell, it’s not even checkers. It’s that Republicans are stuck with this moron that a significant, and very loud percentage of their base LOVES.

His milkshakes brings all the boys to the yard.

Broth is to weak.

I guess a soup might do.

Personally, I’d go with the blinding burrito.

They want to get reelected. They know they have to do what the Almighty Orange One says for that to happen. I’m really hoping the Democrats actually take off the gloves for this election and call the Republicans the insurrection party. Then they have to show America that one party is fully responsible and that one party has been blocking the investigation into the insurrection.

Show the Jan 6 footage. Get an emotional response. Make the Republican voters feel like shit for allowing that to happen.

What really sucks is that the Republicans are all towing the Trump line because it’s an election year and Trump will make or break their campaign. Trump loves a good dictator and thinks he’s buddies with Putin.

This!

There are a lot of consumer protections on credit cards that do not apply to debit cards. I pay for basically everything with a credit card. I pay the card off every month.

I like that!

$83.3M is one slander damage, just as one Scaramucci is eleven days.

I propose we also add “Donald hands” as a length unit of measure. Maybe it’s just half of the existing hand unit of measure.

Story time:

Years ago, I interned with the local sheriff’s office. I spent most of my time there with the warrant team. They went out and arrested people with outstanding warrants. In doing so, I learned that after sentencing the convicted person voluntarily report to prison. They had to process a number of people who were sentenced to prison but never reported.

I, like you, expected people to be transferred from court to prison after sentencing. That was a shocking revelation for me.

There is no way Trump would ever pick a non white person, nor would he pick a woman, well unless she was hot and he would use the promise of being VP to sleep with her.

Trump is super racist and misogynist.

They think themselves special because

A) it’s a very large state, nearly as large as Alaska. Originally or was going to become several states, but it being admitted to the union prior to the civil war as a slave state the leaders of the country chose to leave it as one huge state because they wanted to keep the ratio of slave and non slave states equal.

B) they used to be an independent country (like Hawaii). Nevermind the fact the only reason they asked to join the Union was that the nation of Texas was broke and couldn’t pay their bills.

C) they’re quite populous, nearly as much so as California.

Basically, when you’re second best at everything and broke af you get a chip on your shoulder.
