That it is Edward. That it is indeed.

Based on the time period into which he was born, he’s definitely been vaccinated for polio.

Well, most MAGA folks want a return to 1950’s America and you don’t get more 1950’s America than a polio outbreak.

Good for them! United we bargain, divided we beg!

Louisiana: [bursts through the door Kramer-style holding several handles of rum and bourbon]

I mean, yeah, but there’s also manufacturer bloatware. This model year, Samsung in particular has outdone themselves with the implementation of their AI chatbot nearly zero percent of their customer base wanted.

When I was a kid, I played Civ 3… so I guess, according to cable news, I’d be seen as a genocidal maniac on par with Hitler.

It’s used in everything from pesticides to baby formula… when are people going to wake up to the dangers it poses?

Sure Jan.

Lol, that made my morning.

Damn, literacy tests… now there’s a policy the Democrats haven’t championed since Jim Crow. I remember Rush Limbaugh going on a scree about us “needing” to bring back those in the 1990’s. Are there any other policies from one of the darkest periods of American history you would also like to go back to? Perhaps the reimplementation of poll taxes or just force marching some Native Americans into the desert?

As I said, they may only be voting for the “team” about which they got excited and not much else. There not dumb, the American political system has set about keeping voters as passive as is possible for the purposes of exploiting them. Trump is just the latest (and most naked) bit of exploitation.

I know it’s frustrating as hell, but lashing out at voters isn’t the answer. They’re not dumb, they’re just not engaged. The system of American politics keeps them disengaged on purpose.

The fact is that you’re politically engaged and the average voter is not.

They’re not dumb or anything, but politics and economics are not things for which they look past their noses. Politics and economics are complex topics and that’s why Trump’s antics and tactics work so well. He stays in the headlines and gets people feeling like they’re part of a team. For a similar example, loads of folks don’t pay attention to NFL players, teams, and coaches during the off season… but once games start happening, allegiances are taken. Even if a neighboring or different franchise might have a better chance of winning (thus make you feel like a winner by proxy) you might still just cheer on the team that first caught your attention/is in your geographic area. People don’t want a sermon and they definitely don’t want to be scolded… they want to be on a winning team regardless of the consequences of that choice (leopards eating faces, etc, etc).

More EVs means lower gas prices.

This drives up gas prices.

I know, it’s almost as though the multinational oil corporations and their shareholders who backed all three of Trump’s campaigns want higher oil and gas prices for some reason… what could that be?

Mike “My Pillow” Lindell… HEAR ME OUT… I don’t agree with his politics, but the dude is hilarious.

The People’s Republic of China has banned Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, etc). Brazil has banned Twitter and the European Union is considering it.

Ding ding!

Nationalities aren’t Skyrim races. You don’t get special abilities.

“It wasn’t until I learned that I was 90% British that it all made sense… my inhuman ability to queue for hours, my fastidiousness surrounding permits, and hatred for the French… I knew I was special, but I never imagined how special.”

Correct, but looking for a more specific answer. What about these are all connected beyond simply Amtrak.

Floridian, Cardinal, Borealis, Hiawatha, The City of New Orleans.
