Not sure it makes sense to argue with idiots on the internet, nor is it a good use of time. Dems lose every time with this playbook. I’ll be voting for Platner. Who will you be voting for? Can you even vote? If not, you’re even more irrelevant.

Is this supposed to be some kind of gotcha?

See what the DNC does to smear the non-80 year old candidate?

He addresses the tattoo directly on pod save America and how he got it. It was something him and a bunch of other soldiers got together in the military 20 years ago. He also finds it funny that these smears accuse him of being a Nazi and a communist at the same time.

If the Mona Lisa were stolen; you’d have been arguing that that should’ve been sold off as well. These jewels are also historical artwork and have a rich history behind them that can never be recovered.

I think it’s a tragedy as these represent a piece of history that can’t be reclaimed. And, because the items are so hot, the thieves will likely just destroy them and sell the pieces.

They’re too hot to sell or own. Likely will be broken down and sold as pieces

Median blue collar salary in the US is about $35k.

There are a lot of factors here, but Americans buying exclusively expensive trucks and suvs here is also part of the problem. Maybe that $75,000 truck is a bad idea on your blue collar salary Frank.

As much as this shithead might be a hypocrite, even seeing Republicans peel away for selfish reasons is a good sign because it shows the calculation is starting to change. It’s no longer good to be aligned with Trump long term. You see other Republicans like MTG starting to think this way.

Many people spend all the money they would use to build real wealth on displays of wealth, cars being at the top of that list. The way to build wealth is to not spend money and instead to invest it… at least until you hit probably 8 digits where it becomes easy to live off the wealth your wealth generates without eroding your principal. However, most people are nowhere near that and would gladly take a 7 year 9% interest rate loan on a $90,000 truck so their neighbors will think they have money.

Fox News and Trump make it so that if members of Congress oppose the president they get death threats and definitely won’t be re-elected. Republicans will let Trump do anything at this point.

Is there a legit version of this?

They just want to cash in more. Let’s face it, the city likes tourist revenue and felt like they could get more.

I’m just not feeling it this time around.

He can throw $1M against Mamdani, but we can’t donate to Mamdani directly because he has “maxed” the amount he can raise in the race. The laws exist for billionaires.

Lemmy isn’t really growing. I think it’s been shrinking actually.

1,000 people later fell out of windows to their deaths in a string of unfortunate accidents

Consider that your kid may grow to resent you for the decision to circumcise him. However, if you don’t, and he later decides to get circumcised, it would be his decision. If you circumcise him, it can’t be undone, but he will always have the choice in the future.

I’ll never forgive Gen-X for making shitty depressing grunge music inescapable in my early years.
