If you can read this comment, you're on the wrong timeline. You should turn around, proceed for about 25 years, then make a hard left.

Perhaps cognitive tests *should* be more common in DC.

Nice of him to let Obama off the hook, tho

My RECESSION has a first name: D-O-N-A-L-D.
My DEPRESSION has a second name. It's T-R-U-M-P.
No matter what you do or say, it only hurts the U-S-A…

A free country cannot tolerate people saying... THINGS and waving... THINGS unless those THINGS are "F*ck the Democratic President" and "AR-15s," respectively.

To watch a tyrant & his minions stab America in the back over & again is painful. To watch American after American look directly at the country they claim to love, see it bleeding in the gutter and blithely walk on, as if nothing they saw was worth speaking up about, is torture.

Back on Earth 1 «making a deal with one or more other parties who have 𝘯𝘰𝘵 agreed to abide by its terms» was known as "𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨." Is that not correct usage here?

Stop lying, you weasel-tongued charlatan!

Under the text "For $250M he let Elon violate the Constitution. Repeatedly. Imagine what he'll let Mohammed Bin Whatshisface violate for a $400M plane..." is a pair of red, riveted-metal underpants hanging on a hangar next to the rag "MAGA Chastity Garments" and the trademark "Our butt-hurt is 100% imaginary, no homo."

BTW: Capitalized words, in online English-language conversations between humans, are generally understood to receive emphasis.

Example: Emphasizing "English," "human," or "generally" above alters the implied meaning.

If I used capital letters to indicate I was correct, you'd accuse me of shouting.

You're arguing that we need a wholesale paradigm shift AND that the current system won't permit incremental improvement TOWARD that paradigm.

So is your plan to: (a) topple & replace it with military might or (b) found a post-collapse socialist utopia by besting regional warlords w/logic & reason?

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime. Refuse to give him or teach him anything and you'll be a Republican.

All I'm saying is a REALISTIC solution to the Right's demand for work to receive benefits AND of unemployment in general would be to adopt tenets of "planned economies" for THAT purpose IN OUR CURRENT SYSTEM. It's doable, unlike 100% socialism, which ends in similar ways to 100% capitalism, anyway.

Abolishing capitalism & guaranteeing employment.

The government should assign people who aren't otherwise employed some type of part-time community service suited to their their abilities. Not only is that compatible with capitalism, but it almost becomes necessary without it.

The difference between those lies more in terminology than substance

So then guarantee employment.

I think it's become self-evident that, under our current system, 𝘩𝘪𝘫𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 a political party is a faster & easier alternative to 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 one.

Tariffs are taxes. Taxes are laws. US law is only enforcable on US soil. There is no thing to tax until goods arrive on US soil, and no one to tax except the American who bought goods from overseas. The same American who will factor their costs into the price you pay. This isn't hard. Trump is a liar. The liar lied. DUH.

Reagan also colluded with a foreign country (Iran) behind the back of the US State Department to delay the release of American hostages in order to ratf*ck Carter's 1980 re-election. 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙧, 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗵𝗼𝘄...
