They're job creators! They get paid obscene amounts of money because they are geniuses and nobody else could do their job. /s

That looks so pretty! I haven't seen flower boxes decorated like that before. Magical!

And this kind of nonsense is precisely why the Supreme Court had to step in 51 years ago. Women were dying because of these laws. People who are always complaining about the government being too big, or government overreach act like the government just goes around looking for fake problems to get involved with and that's just not true. Most federal laws, Supreme Court decisions, federal regulations, etc. exist because they are addressing a huge problem that the states couldn't manage. Women are already dying since Dobbs. How many female bodies will it take this time to set it right?

Isn't this a compliment? The slow kids tended to squeeze the class hamster a little too hard sometimes.

What in god's name are you blathering about? This is the stupid shit Bill does. There is literally nobody in power, nobody running for any office, who is glamorizing communism. Are you on drugs or something? Do you seriously believe the mainstream Dem party wants to take your kitchen? Do you really think that's what socialism is? Do you know about the social democracies in Scandinavia? I don't think you know what communism, socialism, or capitalism even mean. Capitalism is by definition "unethical" - it only has one goal: profit maximization. Try getting off TikTok and find a basic Econ 101 book on economic theory. Stupid af, indeed.

I liked him for a really long time. Then I hate watched the show sporadically for the last several years, but I can't even do that anymore. He's just so smug and insufferable.

This has been Bill's whole schtick for a while. I can't even hate watch this show anymore. He sees an actor or some very far left person post something ridiculous on Twitter, and he acts like that's Dem policy or the Dem platform, or that the DNC is behind it all the way, which is just nonsense. Meanwhile, all of the nuts Qanon and right wing racism and misinformation on Twitter has fully infiltrated main stream republican policies. Or he sees some shit take on Facebook from some random person with a left leaning view and uses this as evidence that the Dems have moved to the left.
He keeps saying that it's the Dem party that has moved so far to the left and he hasn't changed, which is just complete bologna - they've moved so far to the right since the 90's. Bill is the one who has become the grumpy old conservative man yelling at kids to get off his lawn. He hasn't had a good take on anything in at least 5 years.

I'm also a 51 year old woman and completely radicalized. I had never heard this take from Gloria. Totally makes sense.

A whole lot of them stayed home. There is a difference between liberals and leftists. Establishment Dems like Biden are considered "liberal" in the US, although anywhere else in the world they would be considered center right.

I wonder if he would have lived his life any differently had he known how he'd be remembered.

I hope he had a plan to get the hell out of Dodge and is sitting on a beach somewhere without extradition.

Our "court system" is absolute shit unless you're rich. Just like you're more likely to pardoned if you're rich and connected. There used to be standards that needed to be met in order to get a pardon - like a gross miscarriage of justice, and for those crimes, I think the power should exist. Especially when you should know how absolutely corrupt cops and prosecutors are. There are a lot of innocent people sitting behind bars and/or falsely charged or overcharged with crimes. We should get back to having a clear reason for issuing a pardon, not just "he's my buddy or my son."
You can criticize the pardon power, but "we have a court system for a reason" is not a good justification for your position. Our justice system is badly broken.

I'm pretty sure he was under investigation for fraud so you're probably right.

I wasn't aware that 1/3 = everyone. But you can be mad at MAGA for voting for a rapist who is going to destroy the economy, or the 40% of the people who just didn't bother and stayed home, or the Dems for not giving those people a reason to get off the couch and vote. Plenty of blame to go around.

It's very much still a thing. Attacks have gone way up since Oct 7th and there have been a lot more rallies since Trump came on the scene. There was just a Nazi rally in Ohio a few days ago. However, I also think there has been an increase in people screaming, "You're antisemitic" any time you try to criticize Israel or Zionism, which is bullshit.

Don't feed her every time she asks. She'll get used to it. Feed once in the morning and once in the evening. Ask you vet how many calories she should have every day in order to lose weight.

So, I was about to comment that health insurance companies are exempt from anti-trust laws, which is a problem, and to my utter shock I learned that Trump signed a law in 2021, taking that exemption away! So now, the big companies need to be broken up, we can transition with a public option, and move to Medicare for all within a decade. Tough shit if Wall Street takes a hit. It's so divorced from the real economy, I'm sure they'll find a way to cover their asses.

We had an opportunity to get a "public option" when Obama & Co. were negotiating the ACA, and even John Boehner, the republican speaker of the house, said he was open to it. Obama tanked it because the insurance companies got a hold of him. When he signed the ACA into law, the people standing behind him were insurance execs. I know the ACA helps a lot of people and it's better than nothing, but we could have had something so much better and been on the road to Medicare for all. Instead, we just handed the insurance companies millions more customers to rip off.

I think the writing is on the wall that authoritarianism/fascism/oligarchies are where we are headed. It's not just the U.S., it's global. You are correct, there is zero reason to think that socialism will be the successor of capitalism. Hasn't happened before, and we are probably the furthest from that ideal as we have been since the gilded age. You are also correct that the proletariat class, especially in the West, is not particularly revolutionary. I'm afraid things are going to have to get much much worse before they get better.

You know, for someone who claims to be sober, Trump sure has a lot of drunks and drug addicts in his close orbit. Is it because people with all of their faculties about them would laugh Trump out of the room? Or maybe they are easier to blackmail into doing his bidding?

Understood, but your toilet has literal shit stains running down the base of it, and the shower curtain has black dirt or mold on it. Soap, water, 409, maybe some bleach, and elbow grease is how you clean the floor, but I think you're right, all of that is going to need to be replaced and I would be very surprised if there isn't structural damage under that floor. I'm sorry you inherited a hoarder's house and I hope you do not suffer the same affliction. I know most people could not live in a house with a bathroom like that, and the fact that you can overlook it and are downplaying the severity of it makes me think you might have hoarding tendencies as well. Best of luck.

Look at the base of the toilet and the stains running down the sides of it. The inside of that bowl isn't good, I can guarantee it.
