What is your guys' initial gut reaction to this face? I've been getting more interested in atavistic responses lately instead of data and rhetoric.
Anytime I get an off feeling from a facial expression and can't place why I just cover up the mouth and look at the rest of the face in isolation.
If you do that here, it looks like the face of someone right before they push you off a cliff to your death.
Rage and disgust.
 
This is what I mean by third hand. The rituals exist but they are either so fringe to be virtually meaningless or they are misunderstood. It goes from hasidim do it to all Jews do it or a symbolic transfer of sins is literal.
nigga they literally built a giant wire around the entirety of manhattan so they could go outside while technically remaining in their "house" on the sabbath. they send some guy around regularly to make sure it's not broken so god doesn't find out and get angry that their house is suddenly exposed to the outside world, as if the break in the wire is a hole he's peering through to see who's walking around outside. how about you try jewsplaining that one because I have yet to see someone try.
 
So, I was thinking about the no junk food and soda with the snap bennies thing. Then it hit me. That's going to totally cut into their profits pretty bad. They will probably have to lay people off and shit like that. I really don't think the Republicans are thinking this shit through all the way. That's going to be a lot of pissed off people. Frito-Lay says well are profits are down. People can't buy chips Doritos and Cheetos with their welfare bennies anymore. We can't afford to pay people working in the plants and driving the delivery trucks. Guess we will just have to get rid of some of the employees to make up for a drop in profits.

I have never seen people so hell bent on losing in my entire life. Cutting medicaid fucking with the welfare bennies and wanting to keep adults from jerking it to porn. Like what the fuck is wrong with them? LOL
 
She aborted the only chance she got for a kid. She has a good cuck husband , good job , money and she aborted it. Disgusting. In my home country women had abort due to money issues like genuinely my family will starve level of money issues and , dad absconded and the mom is terrified teenager or health issues like getting geriatric pregnancy in their 40s and no medical knowledge or experience among the local doctors you will need to pay out of the ass to survive and doctors basically telling them the kid will come out dented anyway. Meanwhile this bitch has enough for at least 4 kids and decided to abortion for what??? I can understand working class women in usa can't afford medical bills, take time off work and can barely keep roof over their heads as is but this cunt nope.
As a leftie woman she can have a career in politics or she can have a kid. Not both.
 
What the fuck is this
It opened with a Zoomer using a singsong cadence screaming to me about their sponsor surrounded by stuffed animals. I made it through 4 seconds.

I know, right? Corporate profits are what makes Americans feel good! Once people find out that the Frito-Lay profit line is going down and their local Pepsi driver is getting laid off, they'll be protesting in the streets to make the government pay for fat poors to poison themselves with HFCS. Why, they might even make a Constitutional Amendment that Twinkie gibs are a human right. Universal Basic Ultraprocessed Foods!

They probably won't protest. But they will either stay home during elections or vote for Democrats. That would be more realistic and even worse for the Republicans than protests.
 
Friendly reminder for every time the "founding fathers couldn't fathom modern arms" to excuse abridging the second amendment that in The US Civil war Private Citizens bought their own Gatling guns to contribute to the war effort

Civilians have been better armed than the actual military for like half the country's existence. Look at the guns the gangs involved with the Bleeding Kansas fiasco were using vs what the standard kit of a soldier during the actual war. Hell, the Indians at Little Big Horn were better equipped because they actually bought repeaters while the army passed on them thinking they were a waste of ammo.
 
I expect the Euros to do what the leafs did. Absolutely nothing while threatening us and using it as a grift by the people who ran the place into the ground to win elections.
Don't worry about the Euro's, our politicians are still doing useless meetings and the newspapers are filled with "youth" crimes and articles seething at the US/Trump.

It's kinda depressing that the Dutch anti-immigrant coalition still hasn't done anything about asylum or immigrants and they are still doing meetings about it after 1,5 years. Imagine if the US had no executive branch and the elected branches do nothing but have useless debates while doing nothing, that is the Dutch government.

There are two different things you're talking about.

One is "not letting poors use gibs to buy poison."

The other is "because poors can't use gibs to buy poison, the poisoners will lose sales and profits and have to lay people off."

Are either of these going to make people vote D in enough numbers to matter? 13% of Americans get SNAP bennies. That's total people, including their kids, not total voters. And even of you count their sympathizers, guess what--99% of them weren't voting Republican before anyway.

As to the second, a lot of Democrats are already stanning big corporations now mask off, same with big pharma and the MIC. I can't see too many Republicans or swing voters jumping ship because they're worried about the profits of the Coca-Cola corporation.
 
I'm not understanding your argument. If one (the ONLY) black student is affecting the statistics of a school because the general body of a school is low, then logically, you'd have to account that the one student, not the school itself, is the cause of the decline and handle it accordingly.
You're talking logic, something the Department of Education is allergic to.
Slow news day causes the Jewish question instead of talking about Captain Planet or Stargate.
Indeed. In the immortal words of Jack O'Neill: "I don't care."
I talked about this with my wife. She was reading the bible and got to the New Testament. We had a conversation about it and I told her the basic summary of the beginning of the bible is that God chooses the Jews, the Jews fuck over every chance they get, so God sends his son to Earth to die so everyone but the Jews get to go to Heaven.
There will be a remnant and Messianic Jews exist. But even God calls them a stiff-necked people.

Meloni was supposed to change everything.
