Yeah! They’ll have to hit “delete all” on their voicemail extra hard!

I’ve got a 2023 Kia Niro PHEV and I love it. The touchscreen isn’t a problem because all the basic media functions have buttons on the wheel. Voice commands work well for texts and calls. Everything else has analog buttons. The battery is only 26 miles, but that is enough to get me to and from work without a drop of gas. The only con is the battery takes up the space where the spare tire would be. There is just a foam patch kit and an air pump. I guess that is becoming more common though. My surprise favorite feature is the auto steering that helps keep you inside the lane lines. It makes long road trips significantly less fatiguing.

Chance the “Socialism” label on the bus to “Fascism” and the comic would still work.

It seriously needs to be illegal to propose laws that are unenforceable.

It’s sad that I had to clock through to see which mass killing of children they were referring to.

It will be pretty hard to prove she intentionally misled police, especially to a degree that constitutes a felony.

MKUltra was a secret government program that experimented on people using LSD and torture. The man who became the Unabomber was one of its victims.

COINTELPRO was a series of covert and illegal projects conducted between 1956 and 1971 by the FBI aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting American political organizations that the FBI perceived as subversive. This included feminist organizations, the Communist Party USA, anti-Vietnam War organizers, activists in the civil rights and Black power movements (e.g., Martin Luther King Jr., the Nation of Islam, and the Black Panther Party), environmentalist and animal rights organizations, the American Indian Movement , Chicano and Mexican-American , and independence movements (including Puerto Rican independence groups).

The Iraq War was predicated on “weapons of mass destruction” which the government knowingly lied about.

The United Fruit Company backed a coup in Honduras.

General Motors conspired to collapse the streetcar industry to gain a monopoly on public transportation.

Cigarette companies suppressed information on the health effects of cigarettes.

Oil companies suppressed information on the environmental effects of fossil fuels.

Purdue Pharma conspired to suppress the risks of Oxycontin and to expand the use of the drug to levels they knew would cause addiction.

My point is, there are true conspiracies all the time. The internet has made it possible for more people to know about it. Unfortunately it has also made it easier for false conspiracy theories to propagate

Also throat cancer in men.

Now I kinda want a cat brand where all the cars are named after cheeses.

Edit: I meant car brand, but I’m leaving it because it’s funny.

Thiel, the remaining Koch brother, and Leonard Leo are all names that are going to go down among the worst traitors in history. I would lose no sleep if they spent the rest of their lives in the deepest darkest cell in Guantanamo.

It passed 220-208, so no it wouldn’t have changed anything.

“I can only say that the friendship that we have for this nation, the respect and the admiration we have for the people of this nation, their courage, their tenacity, their firmness in the face of very great odds, is one that makes us proud to stand with Israel, as we have in the past in times of trouble.”

• Richard Nixon 1974

Objectively false

How so?

The only deflection is pretending that what is happening in Gaza is Biden’s idea and not a continuation of 70 years of policy held by both parties.

Do you think Biden is the prime minister of Israel?

Go ahead, tell me how Trump and the Republicans are better than the Democrats. I’m sure any explanation you give won’t make it glaringly obvious don’t belong to any minority groups.

“Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in democracy, separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law.”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism

Democrats do not reject political plurality.

Democrats do not reduce democracy (rather they increase it by defending voting rights).

Democrats protect the separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law.

Democrats do not fit the definition of nationalism, let alone ultranationalism.

They do not hold strong beliefs in hierarchy, oppose democracy, or oppose egalitarianism. That’s just an outright lie.

Let’s go with Umberto Eco’s definition since it is well known and it is numbered for easy reference.

The only part that might apply to Democrats is #6.
