@nightdesk22 The only people attempting to change/improve upon any of the aspects of this country causing anger and discontent are the far left. They are doing it incrementally through the political processes, but they are moving the needle.

[&87)?&&7))$&& @deactivatedahyd]

@nightdesk22 So there is no powder keg to light. All this talk of civil war is pointless at best and suicidal right wing agitprop at worst.

The only real motion is with DSA and the revolutionary left, who are actually moving to challenge the aspects of our society that cause discontent.

@z3r0C007 @yumtapwater I don’t own stocks, why the fuck do I care? The profit generated off of these astronomical gas prices is one of the things that had the market so high. If market success isn’t directly tied to quality of life it’s useless to me.

@BalbuenaTyler People care about their wallets and livelihood. DFL has fed kids, passed family leave, some free college, and kept the economy far above the rest of the country. Condemning Trump wouldn’t change that, and it wouldn’t make voters forget GOP support for his unpopular actions.

[&87)?&&7))$&& @deactivatedahyd]

@BalbuenaTyler Bit of an exaggeration imo. The DFL’s record, particularly in quality of life metrics, far outweighs accounts of fraud that most voters know are overblown at best. Even distancing from Trump wouldn’t have extricated them from the metro surge blowback

@joe23071861 @William78877318 @lieptogalas If you are at a place consistently and don’t/under tip you generally will still be served, but you will wait longer, receive lighter pours, and be 86’d much easier/sooner.

I tip well, am friendly, and often get free drinks and get helped before others at my regular bar.

@mr_ding2000 @Yugopnik I think the Ukrainians (accurately? I’m not sure) believe that it’s too late in the game for them to be vulnerable to that chicken match. They’re ready to weather that storm after so many years. Their soldiers, similar to the Iranians, can act independently, they can hold out.

@sardonic_fly0 @MustacheBob2 If the oil barons comply, which they have no reason to. They are making more money than ever, they don’t care if groceries go up in cost 50%, they have the money to pay for them. They can afford to wait until the administration caves.

@benzostraydogs People with adhd would laugh them out of the room. They might just be stupid

@FellaHrx69 You’re correct, but the empire had stage four cancer anyways. Kamala or Biden or whichever dem is simply pointless chemo to slow the inevitable fall from hegemony. Xi is happy that we chose the Steve Jobs method of cancer treatment, but don’t pretend the empire has hope.

@Cat27508293 @aaronklemz Conservatives thinking “free lunch” means anything other than free at the point of service is a prime example of how fucking idiotic they are.

[&87)?&&7))$&& @deactivatedahyd]

@Cat27508293 @aaronklemz You may just be illiterate, or unable to address the point without appearing to value bombs more than feeding children.

Anyone talking about a “free” government service obviously means free at the point of service. It means they value it enough to pay for it in taxes.

[&87)?&&7))$&& @deactivatedahyd]

@Cat27508293 @aaronklemz No such thing as a free bomb either. Nor a free corporate bailout. I know what I want my tax dollars funding and I voted for it.

@ColAndersmit @doomernat22 If you failed to achieve your political goals, that means you lost. That’s how war works, it’s not a call of duty death match.

And even then, if you compare total American-backed casualties beyond just our troops, including Allie’s and contractors, the k/d is quite close.

@TheStiffyPete @polyfraggrenade @Pask218337 If you’re gonna have an opinion and verbalize it you should at least know what you’re talking about. Background checks and basic security would be CBP, not ICE

@billy_Boges @AndrewMercado Electing her last time made my life, and the lives of many around me, directly and materially better. MNsure, northstar promise, feeding the children, etc all directly benefitted myself, my friends, and my community. There are tangible, material reasons she won.

@__Sigismund__ @acnewsitics Calling what we have total naval supremacy when the only shipping passing the strait is Chinese and still a fraction of pre war levels seems a bit premature.

[&87)?&&7))$&& @deactivatedahyd]

@__Sigismund__ @acnewsitics If everything you say is exactly how it is, the white house and military brass would not be behaving so erratically. Boots on the ground is political suicide, gulf energy infrastructure is just as vulnerable as their own, and we haven’t exactly intercepted everything so far.

[&87)?&&7))$&& @deactivatedahyd]

@__Sigismund__ @acnewsitics Let’s revisit this in a few months and see how things have turned out. I think you have a very optimistic view of our own position and a significant misunderstanding of Iran’s society. They have built their entire country to weather this exact conflict, and have the upper hand.
