We’ve been on economically torturing them for decades, and then justify it by saying “They’re terrible, look how they make their people live!”

They’re doing the best they can with the most powerful nation in history standing on their chest. Why would they look at us as anything but a brutal enemy? Since they live right next door, maybe we should play nice, and perhaps persuade them to leave the Soviet sphere of influence and join ours.

It’s okay, there will be plenty of $16 bottles of water for sale.

There was one particular radio appearance that he was particular enthusiastic and confrontational, like he could get. That kind of attitude was taking him far, until he applied it to guns. In Texas.

Previous Dems had lost by double digits, but Beto got within a couple of percentage points. It seems onvious that gun statement made the difference.

The Conservative Propaganda Machine has been able to control the political messaging in this country for decades, and some of their messages have become standard belief, like the concept that everything the government does is ALWAYS incompetent and wasteful, and that simply isn’t true. MOST of what the government does is very effective.

The government is an enormous bureaucracy, and if you root around enough, you’ll find issues, but overall, it does a pretty amazing job, when responsible people are managing it.

We need to challenge these standard beliefs that have become dogma, like Dem are bad for the economy (when ALL studies prove that it’s MAGA), Socialism is terrible (when many of the best things in America are Socialist, and it still offers better outcomes than whatever we are doing now), etc., and start moving in the direction that we have been so carefully directed away from.

Yeah, that used to work, until they learned to say “We’ll just take it from the billionaires,” and everyone said “Okay, that’s perfectly acceptable.”

Now all they can do is scream “SOCIALISM!” and people are starting to think THAT sounds pretty good, too.

They’re losing their rhetorical weapons quickly, and that arsenal was pretty low to begin with.

“Endorsed by Fox News!”

Heterocycle is more like one tire is a square, and the other is a triangle.

Beto was doing great, right up until he went on a big Texas radio show and announced intended to take away their guns. You could almost hear the air hissing out of the balloon.

He lost by a tiny margin. I strongly believe that dumb statement cost him the seat. If he had taken Cruz’s seat, and Talarico took Cornyn’s seat, we’d have two Dem senators from Texas.

But Beto couldn’t keep his mouth shut about guns in Texas.

The talking about all the strong, beautiful men around him, the obsession with watching mostly naked muscular men wrestling with each other…

Also Parkland, where the school’s resource officer cowered outside, and listened as the killer murdered the students one by one.

Independent Media on YouTube, Substack, etc. is growing, but you have to curate carefully, and keep your Critical Thinking Skills on high alert at all times. They spew out lot of propaganda, too. Nothing like the Conservative Propaganda Machine, but they’re working on it.

That’s for audio, not video, but it does bring up a point - do these glasses record audio? Because that could be a legal defense in a two party consent state. It would essentially make it illegal in two party states. It also depends on whether audio in public is protected at all, the way video is.

That’s a good idea. An alternative is to put it on your masturbating wrist, and rub one out. That’s got to go a long ways to the daily count. Probably works better for men than women.

I knew someone who put it on their happy dog’s tail, and he wagged his way to 10K steps.

So I guess ALL the other crime in Philly has been eliminated, and all cold cases solved? If that’s the case, time for layoffs, not providing private intelligence gathering and security for emerging industries.

They went from threatening people’s jobs if they didn’t use more AI, to threatening people’s jobs if they use too much AI.

And it’s ALL the workers’ fault, the dummies. Let’s replace them all with AI.

Laws are different everywhere, but often blades over 3" are prohibited. In NYC, there is an old law against “gravity” knives, which open with a flick of the hand, which is possible for most folding knives, if you practice. So NYC cops like to watch for people who have a knife clipped to their pocket, and arrest them for having a gravity knife, when it’s just a normal folder. The president of the stage hand’s union, whose members are required to have a knife on them at work, spend a considerable time each month writing letters to the court, requesting his union members have their cases dismissed since they are required to carry a knife.

Rich people think the Dow is the best indicator of the economy, but 90% of people couldn’t tell you where the Dow is on a daily basis.

GAS PRICES are the prime indicator of the economy for most Americans, and they are posted on EVERY street corner.

When they ask “Have you seen the stock market?” Say, “No, why would I? Have you seen the price of gas?”

Lick your elbow?
