@BDNTWLGIO The reason this keeps working out for the right is because most of their voting base has only remaining core belief: the most evil thing a person can be is a Democrat. Every other value they may hold yields to this one principle when it's time to vote.
@NDRepublicans@heathergroening This is one of the few theological positions that I unequivocally reject. Genetic defects/ anomalies, illnesses, etc., are a feature of life on this planet since life on this planet began. They did not magically appear once man developed a conscience.
@BurtMaclin_FBI Actually they upgraded the job of President's son. Now you just get to go right to Saudi Arabia and make yourself as many million dollar deals as you want. If you're the firstborn you might have to marry a former Epstein associate though. They hide that in the fine print.
@missmayn Home prices have wildly outpaced inflation, so property taxes have also gone up disproportionately to other costs. Yet public services remain dogshit and its always the same excuse - "we don't collect enough property taxes to continue covering XYZ services much less expand them"
@maternalgroyp Once again someone who can't understand nuance or didn't read the whole post fires off an unnecessary rebuttal to a point the OP wasn't making. Gotta start calling this the Twitter effect.
@thecavemommy@Be_Free_Indeed Dave isn't talking to you. He's talking to financially uneducated people and people who can't control themselves with credit cards or debt in general. And for those types of people, his advice is fantastic.
@NewJerusalemAI @92huskies@ggetzie@TwoRulesOfWar Honest question: suppose an ordinary mailbox had a built-in lamp of some sort, to see inside, or illuminate the red flag. In the process of smashing the mailbox, a vandal is electrocuted when his metal bat rips through live wires. Is this the fault of the mailbox owner?
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
@3YearLetterman@khamenei_ir@TombstonePizza Coach I hate to correct you here but its way more than our third victory, we won against Iran at least 20 times just in the last month
@theobjectivist Yeah sure the cost of housing has wildly outpaced stagnant wages (despite soaring productivity) and something like half of Americans can't cover an emergency $500 expense without a credit card, but have you considered that JD Rockerfeller didn't have a microwave?
@thorsson_john Yeah that ship sailed during his confirmation hearings. Then it sailed again when he talked about airstrikes in a signal chat. Then it sailed again when he banned all non-propaganda journalism from the Pentagon. Then it sailed again when
Old folk tale; a peasant stumbles across a genie, who promises him a wish. While he thinks of what riches to wish for, the genie shares a catch: "whatever you ask, your neighbor will receive two of." The fisherman instantly replies, "in that case, please poke one of my eyes out."
There is a great book called Dying of Whiteness that posits that white americans will deliberately choose policies that create self harm as long as they believe people they don't like are being harmed as well.
For example:
There was a businessman whose wife was REALLY into sex...
He was a hardworking guy, and he still managed to satisfy his wife's needs.
One time, he had to leave for another country for a business meeting.
He would be gone for a week.
He knew his wife's sex drive and didn't want to take risks, so he thought he should gift her something so she could satisfy herself and didn't think about searching for a new partner, so he went to an adult toy shop.
As soon as he entered, the first thing he saw was a blow-up doll, but he soon dismissed the thought of buying it since it was almost like another human. He then proceeded to the dildos section.
There he saw all kinds of dildos, from massive to tiny to ones which glow in the dark, but none of them grabbed his interest, so he decided he would go somewhere else and began to leave the shop when he was stopped by the owner sitting behind the cash counter.
"I know what you're looking for", the owner says
This grabbed the businessman's attention, and he stopped to hear what the owner had to say.
"There was a man many years ago who looked just like you, wealthy but tired. He had a wife whom he couldn't satisfy, and she was about to leave him when he came here and got my help. He's happily married since then"
"How exactly did you help him?" asked the businessman.
The cashier bent down and revealed an engraved wooden box from under the counter.
There were all sorts of symbols on the box. He opened it, and inside it was a pink latex dildo, similar to the ones on the shelf.
"This is an ancient artefact haunted by a Maori tribe who all died of sex deprivation when all the women of their village were killed in a plague, all their souls now reside in this dildo", said the owner.
The businessman, being a sceptical guy, laughed and then turned to leave.
The owner says, "You're all the same, thinking there's nothing above this material plane of existence. Watch this."
The businessman turns around.
"Voodoo Dildo, keyhole"
To his astonishment, the businessman saw the box violently shake and the dildo rise in the air, float for a second and hover over to the keyhole in the front door and start to shag it. The dildo shagged the keyhole with such force that the door unhinged and started cracking.
"Voodoo Dildo, box"
The dildo stops shagging the door and returns to the box.
"ILL TAKE IT, cried the businessman, and after a lot of negotiation, he finally purchased the dildo and ran home.
He tells his wife about the dildo and how to use it. "Voodoo Dildo, pussy. That's how you activate it", the businessman told his wife and went on his business trip.
After 3 days of being horny, the wife finally gave in to her urges and opened the wooden box, took out the dildo and uttered "Voodoo Dildo, pussy". The dildo shot from her hands and started shagging her. First slowly and then changing speed as the way she wanted.
After an hour of shagging, the wife thought it was enough, and she grabbed the dildo to turn it off.
But it didn't stop shagging her.
Her husband had forgotten to tell her how to stop the dildo.
She started panicking and called him, but he didn't pick up, so she started to dress up and go to the hospital, all the while the dildo was still shagging her.
She got in her car and started driving.
On the way, she had a huge orgasm, and her car swerved and almost hit another car.
A cop saw this, and she was stopped at the side of the highway.
A cop approached her.
"Ma'am, you almost hit the grey SUV back there. Have you been drinking?"
The wife then proceeds to tell him all about her husband and the voodoo Dildo and that she can't stop it now.
The policeman then says,
"Yeah, right, Voodoo Dildo my ass."
