I logged into Youtube today and my feed was flooded with "Trump is the Devil" type propaganda.

I saw a lot of shit like that too, in the recommended.

They're obviously very afraid. I saw one video from Times Radio talking about how Michael Cohen's testimony could topple Trump's Presidential ambitions. Times Radio, for those of you who don't know, could not be more transparently a propaganda outlet, as demonstrated by their Ukraine War coverage (they seriously made videos on how Putin has six months to live and all sorts of other stupid bullshit)

Washington state has some of the easiest primary ballot access in the country, which always results in an entertaining primary as the ballot is loaded with hilariously unqualified candidates. This year, someone took advantage of this to do a little trolling. The ultra-leftist state AG and likely primary winner is Bob Ferguson, and now two other people also named Bob Ferguson have entered the race. The AG Ferguson is big mad and is threatening to prosecute the other Fergusons.

The legal intimidation worked, the other Bob Fergusons have dropped out.

Is this for FishTank or politics? Because throwing someone like Chuck Schumer in the woods with no support would be entertaining as hell.

I would pay to see politicians and their advisors living in the same house for a month.
Bonus points if there are challenges like in survivor where the winner takes the food and adenochrome supplies

Probably not but it sure would be hilarious if it is true. Biden goes back to paying and they just turn around and get the bomb working.

I have no idea why the Democrats are so fixated on getting Iran to play ball again. It's about as stupid as the Republican hateboner against them trying to make a ground invasion of it work.

I think it's because a war with Iran is stupid and getting them to play ball is 100% better than the unpredictable chaos of blowing shit up and seeing what happens. Diplomacy is mostly backroom dicksucking and bribes anyway, there is no shame in bribing your enemies in politics, it's generally smarter than fighting. Besides, we literally own the money printer and the guns that make people keep using our money. Getting Iran to play ball with us would be worth the trouble, blowing them up is just not worth the trouble.

They've been chanting "Death to the Great Satan" ever since the 1970's. How, exactly, do you plan on getting them to play ball with us? Bribing them with cash doesn't seem to be doing the trick, so... guns, maybe, that they'll turn around and give to Hamas?

it's funny when you notice the little things, like how biden is smiling and trump is grumpy. I immediately suspect they did it on purpose knowing smiling people are perceived more positively - or maybe it simply because every picture of trump smiling is pretty much the definition of a shit eating grin, which in the context of this segment would cause even more butthurt. :story:

Wal-mart really pisses me off in this regard lol. They'll have three brands of the same thing next to each other, one is priced per ounce, one is priced per pound, and one is priced per count, so ultimately I have to do the math myself anyway.

as shit as the EU is at lot of times, they also do stuff like this: https://commission.europa.eu/law/la...l-practices-law/price-indication-directive_en
The main purpose of the Price Indication Directive is to ensure that the selling price and the price per unit of measurement (unit price) are indicated for all products offered by traders to consumers

This facilitates the comparison of prices for consumers. The selling price must be unambiguous, easily identifiable and clearly legible.

doesn't stop them from making it small as fuck you have to literally shove your face into the pricetag, but at least it's there.

Weirdly enough it looks like its Fox new using the scowling Trump pic, while CNN is using a smiling Trump.

She's 100% hitting the sauce heavily. She always had the kind of thin pinched features that age rapidly but now she looks downright haggard.

It can't be stress because she literally does nothing.

I got curious as well and decided to ask around. Nothing truly confirmed and quite a few conflicting bits of rumor but I sussed out a few things that are repeated.

1: She was informed there is no golden parachute for her. No book deals, no returning to CA politics, no lobby deals, nothing. Once Biden is out she is done, and it isn't her choice. A few of my acquaintances have posited from other rumors that she is viewed as pure poison with no upside.

2: Despite the above, the admin itself is actually trying to use her. She's apparently their go-to for directly connecting with on the ground leaders and governors. She is getting a first-class view of the absolute state of the Democratic party. She has, and this bit is confirmed, been repeatedly personally snubbed by political actors across the country. This was confirmed when she got drunk and ranted within earshot of a few higher level but nonaligned political aides.

If point 1 is accurate, then the snubbing in point 2 makes sense. Who wants to deal with someone who's rapidly approaching their expiration date politically?

Aye, and it also explains why she is rapidly looking aged. She is being repeatedly made to feel like shit, in a job that she has no respect, by people she hates, and its not only for a dead end career, but a career she is going to be actively ostracized from.
