Ugly bags of mostly water…

These are the same people that took Pluto from us.

If your dryer is getting up to 140c then you need to clean your filter, cause damn.

Yes.

An economic model that doesn’t prioritize profit over everything else… which is what capitalism does.

Let me know if you form an opinion beyond “all the dictators told me that this is what communism is, so I have no choice but to believe them”.

They might be over-qualified, actually.

Yes, but capitalism is an economic model that aids and abets greed. Where greed is rewarded almost exclusively.

So… you’re saying the Secretary of State is meant to be an international gofer for the president? That no one is supposed to do anything without a clear directive from the president?

No wonder so many people seem to think the presidency is the only election that matters, they consider the role that of a god-king of ultimate power…

I mean… that’s kind of how it works? The president isn’t some kind of demi-god that holds all knowledge and power in their hands while in office… they have lots of staffers and consultants that provide info and policy suggestions.

If explaining a joke makes it not funny, it was never funny in the first place. It was either just referential or based on shock value.

That’s odd, considering the immigration was before the crisis by about a month and a half.

So the immigration event was a precurser to the Cuban missile crisis?

Corrupt governments like capitalistic shitbags.

Yes, but those state and local elections have an effect both on how your state and local area does… as well as how those national elections are held. They are far more important than you give them credit for.

Don’t downplay them just because they don’t get national coverage, especially when they’re going to have significantly more impact on your daily life.

The president sure gets the credit for a lot of things (the president signed this into law, the president enacted this policy) but in reality Congress makes most of that a reality.

There is also accountability… but only if the congress acts on it. Which is where that whole “vote more than once every four years” thing comes in. Congress has power… we just have not elected people who use that power responsibly.

That’s the unwise part?

If you think you only get a choice once every four years, that’s part of the problem. There’s elections every single year, many of which you have more choice and more power over.

Maybe if people showed up to vote more than once every four years we’d actually see some effective change.

My two cats prefer them. Even the new one we got (and need to replace) that keeps falling on top of one of them.

That’s so fetch.
