That option is definitely cooked with the purposeful destruction of the education system ensuring that that 77m number increases. They'll only learn via the other avenue - voting Republican and losing everything

This **** really pisses me off.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View Post
America might be determined to flip-flop over how it feels about trans or gay servicepeople, which is bad enough as it is, and if they want to have a moritorium on accepting new LGBTQIA+ people into the military, that's bad...
... but I would argue it takes a special level of maliciousness (especially, coming from Tangerine Bone Spurs himself, whose daddy got him out of going to Vietnam, the absolute chicken**** who would probably piss himself before dying for his country) to actively go after those people who have taken it on themselves to enter their nation's military and potentially put themselves into combat to defend that nation's honour - who have gone through the rigorous training, the difficult selection processes, the harsh requirements in order to even be permitted to do so.
Like who even does that? How do you sleep at night? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ONComment

Not having experienced enough economic trouble in the past month...
"Congressional Republicans have approved the most fiscally irresponsible budget resolution since the modern budget process began five decades ago. It allows Congress to slash taxes by $5.3 trillion and expand spending by $517 billion over the decade. This $5.8 trillion addition to the deficit (plus interest) would exceed the cost of the 2017 tax cuts, 2020 CARES Act, 2021 American Rescue Plan, and 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—combined."
"Over the next three decades, extending current policies will hike the debt held by the public from $30 trillion to approximately $200 trillion. Who will fund all this borrowing? China and Japan together hold nearly $2 trillion of Treasury debt and lack the willingness and capacity to finance the rest; other nations are even smaller players. That leaves American lenders such as mutual funds, pension funds, insurance companies, state governments, and banks. Even with a rising GDP, this will squeeze financial markets and force up interest rates. And each percentage point in higher sustained interest rates—just a single percentage point!—would add $40 trillion in interest costs over three decades. That's nearly the equivalent of adding another Defense Department."

I tried the bikes here in Bristol this week. The app is called Dott. They were utterly crap. About 7/10 have no battery and I had to request a refund. After about the fifth one they started refusing to cancel the ride or refund because I’d done it too many times. Not my fault your f’ing bikes don’t work!Originally posted by wakka View Post
Yesterday was the worst experience as I didn’t have time to faff about and basically had to cycle most of my journey without any power assistance. It was therefore worse than my push bike because of how f’ing heavy they are. Sweaty was also my experience.Comment

Trump is interviewed by TIME for his first 100 days and I think it completely clarifies his thinking regarding the tariffs and also his thinking when it comes to pretty much everything else tooComment

Absolutely. The media should stop reporting everything Trump says. His bias is clearly towards Russia, Zelenskyy had it right when he said Trump was in a Russian disinformation bubble.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View PostComment
