But the marketplace! But my friend from highschool I haven’t spoken to or even sent a message in decades! Keep clinging to those excuses to hang around.

      Just need to readjust thresholds a bit friend. For example, I used to think that using the office of the president like a QVC platform to promote a bunch of cheap crap made in China for personal financial gain seemed pretty corrupt and not to mention just plain gross. After giving myself a violent lobotomy though (don’t tell me you haven’t thought of it too) , I’m happily purchasing a subscription to the new presidential perfume and find that it is really helpful in attracting all kinds of incel friends.

    Zuck bending his own knee in the vain hope he won’t get bent over Trump’s.

    Maybe he should have spent a little less attention on Caesar and tried to learn a few other lessons from history.

    Let me get my little black book of boycott.

    Oh. It’s already there on the first page since forever.

    Maybe I’ll just flip off Zucky when I see him next time.

    Lol. Our society is straight pathetic.

    Our ancestors are turning over in their graves.

    We’re going to end up being the most embarrassing era in American history. Assuming history is taught in the future.

      I’m descended from an officer killed by the British in the American revolution.

      My parents and my brother all voted for Trump.

        Lol. That’s so shameful.

        I’ve spent the last decade witnessing how lies and propaganda can warp people’s brains and it’s still hard for me to wrap my mind around.

        Unless a miracle happens, we are set for a very dark future.

    The biggest problem in America is the largest most profitable companies pay 21% instead of 15% corporate income tax, apparently. Meanwhile all peeps of no taxes on tips or SS have disappeared.

      I get social security not being taxes (as its literally the federal gov giving money and then taking some back), but why wouldn’t tips be taxed if they’re just additional wages?

      Like what is the logical arguement, and if they weren’t why wouldn’t I ask for all wages just be “tipped” to me?

    Someone needs to pay for all those people to attend, otherwise it will be a ghost town on the National Mall.

    I am sure they would have donated to Harris too, not sure what’s so big news about this
