One of Trump's biggest issues with Canada is supposably US banks not being allowed access. I would not put it past him to attempt to deny the reverse on a whim leaving you high and dry.

I know it's very hated but this is precisely why crypto was created, just keep it in a stablecoin (USDT, DAI) instead of a variable price coin. Obviously it's not usable as a payment system yet, I typically use credit cards for everything then pay them off monthly.

Kendrick's performances usually have a lot of layers to them that aren't immediately visible to everyone and people eventually discover and break them down, but I can see how things might look weird if you're out of the loop on anything.

One example is Serena crip walking, given her prior relations with Drake.

Another is the Gil Scott-Heron quote and the split US flag.

I'm assuming he had to dial back as well to get approved given the lyrical censorship, I'm surprised the Uncle Sam bit got approved. Also hilarious how the dude waving the Palestinian flag wasn't on TV.

Definitely wasn't just you, I've noticed Reddit actively feeds me content from subs I'm subscribed to that will bait me to argue with less than 100 upvotes, meanwhile it won't show me major posts from the same sub that I actually wish to see.

A leaked memo from the DOJ has them approving the death penalty for people without papers and that's a positive direction to you?

Even if the higher ups somehow agree (which would be insane), the actual troops are the ground are 50% POC or minorities. I can't imagine them going through this hatred by the whitehouse and still continuing to follow orders. There will be a break in chain of command at some point.

Also peep the military subreddit on Reddit they are talking about breaking chain a lot, whether they will it's still to be tested but it's definitely indication of where things lie.

Ultimately yes, its the fault of the voters (and non voters) who let their emotions cloud their judgement.

Just curious, why place blame on the voters? In my opinion we should be placing blame on the party / candidates. It is the parties and candidates job to ensure they are running on a winnable platform with a powerful message. Even outside of the Gaza issue Kamala did not back any popular policies and instead shifted to a very right (circa 2014/2016) platform. Particularly on taxation of billionaires, oil drilling, and healthcare for all, she walked all these policies to the right in the latter half of her campaign. There ultimately no reason to vote for her except so she would beat Trump, which makes sense for a lot of people, but I can also see many who weren't inspired to vote and just assumed she'd win.

Edit: also just saw a guy below said a very similar thing so sorry if this feels like an attack from this perspective.

your republican goons

What are you even talking about man? I'm about as far away from Republican as it gets. Try having a conversation before lobbing insults, I know it's hard nowadays but it can be done.

I agree and would love to work towards a world where that is true, unfortunately people love their infighting.

Doing anything is far better than arguing about what and where the blame is placed infinitely.

-The people failed, not the government. We had a free and fair election, saw what at stake, and still people decided to sit it out or throw their vote away.

Insane take and that's all I have left to say 😂. Feel free to continue supporting democrats on your hedonic treadmill instead of moving towards a better world for everyone.

Your argument is only valid to an EXTREMELY small selection of people in 4 battleground states, but you project it to every leftist who criticized the Biden Kamala admin for allowing Gaza to be destroyed.

It's much easier to place blame on made up people who have no power than it is to place the blame on the fact that our government systems have allowed this to happen. Why did the Democrats maintain full control of congress and yet nothing was done. They are the ones who held the power to stop this, yet nothing was done. Do not blame 10,000 individuals some with family who have been killed in Gaza when the blame should be placed on our government systems and Democratic parties.

We should instead be uniting on solutions to these problems not shoving blame down leftists throats who the vast majority of are not responsible for the problem at hand.
