Edward Norton explains why he's concerned about American exceptionalism
"I don't want to use too harsh a word but I think if you're lucky enough to travel, you'll see something that I don't think a lot of Americans do"
"We have this enduring narrative of American exceptionalism you know like America's cultural superiority"
"I don't think people fully grasp the degree to which we're going to ghettoize ourselves in terms of education, in terms of health, and in so many other areas"
"You know, we're not anywhere near the top of what other people are experiencing"
"If we keep embracing this idea of pride in regression, where is that going to take us?"
"It's not going to take us to a place that we're happy about for our kids"
Call me crazy, but I do not support the $12 billion bailout for the farmers who overwhelmingly voted for their own demise. Pull yourselves up by your bootstraps and stop leeching off our taxpayer dollars.
Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.
My wife and I got into it last night about the grocery bill.
I pulled up an old Target order from February 2020.
28 items. $64.50.
Added every single one back to the cart just to see.
$158.30.
Same 28 items. Same store. Same cart.
$93.80 more.
In five years.
We didn’t buy more.
Didn’t upgrade anything.
Didn’t add a single extra item.
Just needed the same things we always needed.
They told us inflation was transitory. They told us it was under control. They told us the economy was strong.
Our cart didn’t get any of those memos.
145% increase in five years.
Not one member of Congress has looked at a grocery receipt in decades.
And it shows.
Someone in #Edmonton had enough time in his or her life to point out that the #Oilers hire only coaches with phallic inferences in their name.😳😱🤣 #NHL#Gretzky#Leafs
America has gotten to that last part of Monopoly where the game is effectively over and we’re all just watching the Elites suck up all the money, nobody else is allowed to really keep playing the game & we’re all getting more pissed by the minute
Flip the damn board over already
