Well maybe if they didn't send their kid off dressed like a member of the Hitler youth they wouldn't have these issues...

Is that one of those comic books the religious nuts hand out on Halloween?

A convenient excuse to set up overt network censorship.

If anyone could it's the 5th(?) largest economy on the planet and the spot that make up most of our west coast.

Kind of makes me wonder, since by and large the 'blue' states pay into the fed more than they get and 'red' states are net leeches, how viable would it be for there to be a concerted "fuck off we we just won't play with you any more" to economically starve the rest of the states.

Pizza pics? Sure I'll play along. Pre-cooking (no kidding?) because the after cooking pic was dark as heck.

Self done sauce, dough, stuffed crust with string cheese in it, and olive oil crust basting. Sometimes you just mess about and it works.

I don't know what penalties are for dodging the draft there, in the USA you get to be president I guess, but to say everyone not willing to take whatever punishment is out there for refusing is fair game to kill pretty far out there to me.

I've stated before that I don't support the IDF at large, every time they get some minor encroachment they use it as an excuse to level everything in reach, but saying someone should be exterminated because they where born in the wrong place and didn't openly defy the law is unreal.

Couldn't see why not, only thing that might say no would be I expect water is less dense than paint so the weight would possibly be different if they where both full.

That's actually surprising, I would think that Musk & Donnie would have been all over the idea of having front row seat visibility into new CVE. Info like that could be worth a few bucks.

Yeah, but consider it as a holdover from when people used to pay with these things called checks (cheques) that would only have a date not an exact time stamp and instant electronic processing. The bank would receive a stack of them you paid on Saturday, but they wouldn't know when exactly.

It was still nonsense that would cause as many overdraft fees as possible to punish the poor, but they didn't have a way to say who was truly first.

A lot of banks like to do that biggest to smallest it seems. The one I asked about it gave an excuse of 'the bigger payments are probably things like rent or car payments and we wouldn't want THOSE to bounce since there was some hard cutoff to the amount they let you overdraw. Nonsense of course, but that was the line given.

You're trying to talk sense to people of an extremist 'comply or die' style ideology here. Proper leftists have empathy enough for the well-being of their fellow humans and the planet we live on to recognize that simply burning everything to the ground benefits nobody. What we have in this place for the most part are keyboard commandos who wouldn't have the first clue what to do in the event of a full societical collapse.

I hadn't made any implication that he shouldn't be challenged, unlike some he took a largely proactive route to apologize and resign without a big fuss so there wasn't much need to push or challenge.

The overarching premise is that while conservatives obstruct and defend their behavior as 'no big deal' liberals are much more likely to say go ahead and put them on trial if their own fuck up. Consider the charges for the last 3 presidents impeached, there are 2 Republicans acting in a outright criminal fashion to use their office for personal gain, and one Democrat who got a BJ. The type and scale of crimes against the public is pretty heavily weighted in one direction.

The big challenge with a leftist/liberal alliance to work against the would-be dictators come at least in part to the method and level of moral compliance demanded. To take some from the other comment I saw, Al was accused by several women of various things, probably the most egregious mentioned as having his hand on the side of someone's breast during a photo. There are far too many hard line leftists who would have someone blacklisted as no better than a maga supporter for that, or at least their online personas would, for something that could have legitimately been an inadvertent error and putting it in the same basket as the current admin.
