Not one person who voted for Trump voted to go to war with Iran. This mother fucker ran on “no new wars” and reducing gas prices and inflation.

My god. The last thing I want to do on this earth is to vote for that retard Doug Jones, but this? The choice for Tuberville is just entirely unacceptable.

I miss sensible Republicans and this Trump sycophant is not it.

[SM @sensiblemiddle]

@mkraju The whole Trump went to war to stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon notion is just a farce. Trump went to war because Netanyahu suckered him into it.

The strangest realization of adulthood is that nobody has a manual.

When we were kids, we assumed thirty-year-olds possessed some sacred blueprint for living.

Turns out every single adult on earth is just improvising with a straight face and praying nobody notices.

3D glasses have a red lens and a blue lens. Both are required to maintain the illusion.

Same with the 2 party system.

The most valuable lesson of the plandemic was learning how many people I trusted would turn against me the moment the TV told them to.

IS ANYONE ELSE COMPLETELY SICK OF THIS?

A few days ago, the power button on my three-year-old monitor stops clicking. 😒

I took it apart, found the part number for a $1.20 tactile switch, and searched for a replacement:

But, "part unavailable. assembly module paired to mainboard serial, please contact an authorized service center."

Then I took it to the official shop:

Another one, "we don't replace individual buttons, we replace the entire display panel assembly. that will be $320 plus labor."

I literally see it in the shop window a brand-new monitor is $340.

So we didn't run out of raw materials on earth, it's just manufacturers weaponized serial pairing so you have to throw 15 pounds of plastic and glass into a landfill over a piece of bent metal worth twelve cents. 😑

Economic fallout of the Iran War and withholding Epstein Files are dragging down Republicans in the midterms.

There’s a month remaining to change these policies, but Republicans are determined to go down with the ship. Are they even in charge?

The absolute worst thing about opening this app is spotting a banger tweet for 0.2 seconds before the feed auto-refreshes and sends it straight into the void.

No matter what happens do not get sucked into fighting in a war for the parasite class.. Refuse and resist. The only things you need to defend are your family your freedom and your right to exist in peace.

When Putin wins the elections: “Putin is
dictator! Putin is rigging the elections!”

When unelected corrupt Bandera cokehead from Kiev blocks the elections: “Zelensky fights for Democracy!”

Why is it most of the people who are simping for war with Russia couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.

Working 40 hours a week should mean you can live like a human being.
Pay rent without that knot in your stomach.
Buy groceries without doing math in the checkout line.
See a doctor without choosing between your health and bankruptcy.
Nobody is asking for mansions, vacations every month, or to “live like a millionaire.”
We just want one full-time job to cover a normal life again.
Rent. Food. Healthcare. A little breathing room.
That’s not greed.
That’s the bare minimum.
And we used to have it.

[An0maly @LegendaryEnergy]

Trump telling his supporters to be a little more poor to fight Iran is the billionaire Zionist “We’re all in this together” schtick that Pharma companies did as they cashed out on Covid vaccine profits

[RandyGoat 🐐 @RandyGoat]

I'm going to complain about expensive gas no matter what.
No, I've never been to Starbucks or any other "coffee place."
My phone is old and I've never spent over $100 for one.
I don't buy stupid stuff just because its trending.
I don't buy expensive wine. I dont use DoorDash or UberEats.
I don't blow my money.
Now what?

[Owen @Owennfa]

CAN SOMEONE ACTUALLY EXPLAIN HOW THIS IS LEGAL.

A guy at work pays $185 a month for a full dental and vision plan.

That's $2,220 every single year just to have coverage.

He needed a crown last month. Total cost: $1,680.

He called to find out what was covered.

Their response: "Your annual maximum benefit is $1,500, and you've already used $600 on your cleanings this year."

So they covered $900 of a $1,680 procedure, he paid $780 out of pocket, and he'd already handed them $2,220 just to be allowed to submit the claim.

You're literally paying a yearly fee for a coverage cap lower than what a single procedure can cost.

[Prello @DPrello]

Rental application fees have become a huge scam. they collect $75 from 40 different applicants for a single apartment pocketing thousands in profits knowing they can only pick one. This needs to be outlawed.

JULIAN ASSANGE: "The goal is to have an endless war, not a successful war."

War is a taxation based money laundering racket for the transnational security elite - it matters very little to them whether it's in Ukraine or Afghanistan, the goal is theft of public money.

The oldest wooden buildings on Earth are not in Europe.
Not in China. Not in Egypt.

They are in a quiet village in Nara, Japan.

Horyu-ji temple. Its main hall and five-story pagoda
have been standing for about 1,300 years.

Scientists ran a tree-ring analysis on the pagoda's
central pillar. The tree was cut down in the year 594.

The wood in that tower is more than 1,400 years old.

And it stands in Japan. Earthquake country.
Thirteen centuries of tremors, typhoons, and storms.
The five-story pagoda has never fallen.

The builders used almost no nails.
They cut joints so precise that wood locks into wood,
flexing in an earthquake instead of snapping,
a design so clever modern engineers still study
how the central pillar swallows the shaking.

But here is my favorite part.

The carpenters used hinoki cypress trees
that were 2,000 years old.

Tsunekazu Nishioka, the last master carpenter
of the temple's great 20th-century restoration,
a man whose family served this one temple for generations,
explained why:

A 2,000-year-old cypress, he said, stays strong
for centuries after it's cut.
"The building will be fine for another 700 years."

Then he said the thing I can't forget:

the original builders, thirteen centuries ago, knew this.
They chose those trees because they were building
for people a thousand years away.

Every craftsman who ever touched Horyu-ji
knew he would never live to see
whether his work truly lasted.

He did the work perfectly anyway.

That is the entire secret of Japan,
standing quietly in a field in Nara,
holding up its own roof for 1,300 years.

I AM NOT, AND WILL NEVER BE, AMONG THOSE LOOKING FOR A PRETEXT FOR WAR BETWEEN NATO AND RUSSIA

I respect that Czech President Petr Pavel, as a former NATO general, would like to fight. I would therefore appreciate it if he respected the fact that I prefer peace.

Czech President Petr Pavel, whom I have always treated with respect and due regard as the head of the sovereign Czech Republic, often tends to comment on my work. This time, he took issue with my position on attempts to provoke a military conflict between NATO and Russia.

I understand that, as a former NATO general, he would like to fight. I expect him to respect my commitment to pursuing peace. Let me therefore repeat once again, so that there can be no doubt:

1️⃣ The West’s military rhetoric and the search for a pretext for a military conflict with Russia are intended to distract from the liberal world’s inability to address basic challenges such as the price and availability of energy and fuel, as well as illegal migration.

2️⃣ As long as I am Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic, I will not agree to Slovak soldiers taking part in any military adventure provoked by anyone within NATO.

3️⃣ In the event of an actual armed attack against one or more NATO member states, the relevant Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty provides NATO members with several options for demonstrating solidarity.

[Ikkyu Sojun @ConciousLabRat]

A former NATO general itching for a fight does not get to define patriotism for a sovereign prime minister.

Fico is not dodging an alliance. He is refusing a pretext. Energy prices, fuel, and illegal migration are the crises the liberal order cannot solve so the rhetoric turns to Russia, as if another war will heat the houses it bankrupted.

Article 5 is not a suicide pact. Solidarity has options. Slovak soldiers are not spare parts for someone else’s adventure.

Pavel may prefer the battlefield. Slovakia’s PM prefers that his country still exist when the speeches are over.

Peace is not cowardice. It is the job.
