I remember when department stores ruled, and had actual pull. The “right” store could anchor your plaza/mall and they could demand aot. One of the oldest, but fun ones, was Service Merchandise. Even within the store you found what you wanted and filled out a ticket and brought it to a counter, your item would then come out of the warehouse on a conveyor belt which as a kid was like magic lol. Also going to a Kmart or similar store and putting that “must have” item on layaway was also cool.

This place was the cats pajamas!

It’s the whole reason the racist Right “supports” Israel. It’s not that they believe Jews should be treated equally, but that they need them to bring about their armageddon.

True, last time they gave corporations bailouts (to “increase job growth and the economy”) they used for CEO bonuses and stock buy backs. However this time around Trump only seems interested in pardoning felony level corruption & assault (J6), while being all over the place with tariffs and Ukraine.

This CEO apparently thought the US treating Canada like they are under sanctions, while threatening to invade them, is how you normally treat your biggest trade partner and close ally.

In this upside-down you have Trump repeatedly threatening to invade Canada and Greenland while only being “upset” with Putin. He has got the whole US in travel advisories of close to a dozen countries at this point (not just the wacky Red States), and we are only 3 months in.

Stay safe Canada!

And almost certainly knowing that if someone saw her miscarriage she would be arrested and thus tried to hide the fetus in a dumpster instead of seeking medical attention. Now they arrested her because of a nark and she has to deal with the mental load/trauma of not only a miscarriage, but possible jail time and defending herself while her private life is publicized.

Fuck these far right assholes, and the nark turning this lady in.

Yeah, that’s some weird ass shit. And I love the defense lawyers story, that they made up all these detailed and wacky things, because they were denied overtime.

Mac: But our shenanigans are cheeky and fun.

Thorny: Yeah, I mean, his shenanigans are cruel and tragic.

Foster: Which makes them not shenanigans at all, really.

Mac: Evil shenanigans.

O’Hagan: I swear to God I’ll pistol whip the next guy that says, “shenanigans”!

And a law firm depending on federal contracts doesn’t make much when the President singles you out and threatens to end you. I mean sure, you could try and fight it in court, but if he rigs the judiciary against you your outcome isn’t promising.

So is he voiding all work visas now? Or just for people of color? Or based on nationality? Or is he planning to void all visas because “something something American first [racist run-on]”?

Also gotta love the irony of the guy being married to a woman who worked here illegally while waiting on her work visa, now deporting people who followed the law.

So we are to believe that each J6 felon Trump pardoned was signed by hand in something other than Sharpie?

Also why bother with the investigations, they investigated Biden for 4 years and despite the “overwhelming evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors” they couldn’t even name one, let alone provide evidence. This is just Trump trying to get his base focused on something other than how he is screwing them despite their support.

I saw pics of someone that rebadged their model 3 I think it was with an Audi badge, and if you knew nothing about cars it looked believable.

Oh the irony that the shitheads that couldn’t wear a mask, and want to ban books because of “parent rights”, now want to ice parents out of the decision of a rando looking at their kids genitals.

Trump did a supermarket thing while out doing his disinformation circuit, and the owner guy was trying to explain things to him and you could tell Trump had never grocery shopped and then quickly lost interest and tuned the guy completely out.

The McDonald’s fries thing was also amusing when he learned “how fries were made” and that they put them in a basket and not scoop them out by hand lol.

This broadcasts his insecurities about being clueless how the economy or anything works, and has surrounded himself with yes men idiots that can’t even bail him out of this hole he dug himself. A big tell is he is so pissed he is giving them over 4 wks to lift their electricity premium.

As an American I say Canada should just go the “we don’t bargain with terrorists” approach and just cut the electric today. Call the bully’s bluff.

The US as a whole has gotten more extreme (we just elected a guy that praised Hitler), but we also have kids born into a world where school shootings are a common occurrence. Kids are surrounded by adults that hate people that don’t fit the “norm”, that fear everything, and then they see violence everywhere.

I mean we just re-elected a guy that used violence in an effort to overthrow the government, and not only did we not punish him, we gave him that highest position in our government. He then freed the people that carried out his orders.

The Right has also embraced the Proud Boys and other domestic terrorist organizations. The President met with a former Grand Wizard of the KKK, and told people that Nazi’s marching with tiki torches chanting “Jews will not replace us” were “some very fine people”.

That number seems incomprehensible, and absolutely gut-wrenching. The fact we have to continue down this path of generational PTSD and survivor syndrome is maddening and heartbreaking.

Allowing people to get measles puts the general population at risk in addition to the asshole parents (and sadly their kids). The vaccine has something like a 97% immunity effectiveness after 2 doses (so less than that for only the 1st), but that means 3% of people that did the right thing could still contract and spread measles without hurd immunity.

Churches should not be allowed to have any political influence. They should be required to give any funds coming in right back out to the community to maintain their tax exempt status. Allowing these mega churches to have people living like the 1% while using their wealth and influence to oppress others should be enough to force them to shut down.

I’m addition to his sexual assault history, the FBI should have been allowed to look into the large amount of gambling debt that disappeared when journalists looked into it, and his alcoholism. Any of those should be disqualifying for the highest Court in the country.
