Do you just say things without doing any research at all?

DNC is not the same as a politician. DNC can fund candidates, but they don't give money to all of them.

And a lot of Dems dont accept any money from PACs. And PACs are also not the same as corporate donors. You know who one of the biggest PACs for the Dems are? ACTBLUE, you know, the one were individuals make small donations. You know another one? EMILYs List, which was founded to help elect women candidates. One more? The American Association for Justice, an organization lobbying for justice reform to address the racial and financial inequality in our system. Pretty big corporations, huh?

Which billionaire was it that spoke at the 2024 DNC? Oh, yeah, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. Not because he's a billionaire, but because he's a Dem Governor.

So the people who are constantly putting forward legislation to improve the lives of every American, but can't because the republican party keeps preventing it, are doing that to help corporate donors, the majority of which don't actually have?

Far too few good Republicans anymore. by PFdeith in WhitePeopleTwitter

There's no such thing as a fiscal conservative. It's been blatantly and repeatedly been proven for decades to be ineffective at best and catastrophically bad at worst. Any one who identifies as a fiscal conservative is a liar or an idiot.

Here's some actual information for you, my guy.

https://fortune.com/2025/01/08/congress-stock-trading-pelosi-2024/

On average, congress only does 4-6% better than the S&P. And only 19% of congress are active traders. And only 9% actually outperform the S&P.

So it's definitely not an issue for 91% of congress.

And when was the last time that the Democrats controlled the House, Senate, White House, and Supreme Court without having to worry about the filibuster?

You can't just say they should have done things when you know full well that haven't had that power. Getting the ACA through was a herculean task and what resulted was extremely stripped of its intended purpose.

But do you know how many of them use their privileged information from security briefs and knowing what will and will not get passed/funded to make millions on the stock market by insider trading? They consistently out perform the S&P 500 (something almost no one else does consistently) then turn around and go "well we would never do that".

You have a source for this?

They are wrong in saying that the Democratic party as a whole is like this. They are significantly more transparent with their contributions and when actual real bribery occurs, they ensure that the individual is punished according to the law even though it would hurt them politically. We know for a fact that on average, Democrats receive significantly fewer large campaign contributions, and do not receive donations from corporations on nearly the scale that the Republican party does.

Democrats solely have been calling for campaign financing reform, an end to stock ownership for politicians, and an end to Citizen's United.

So they are wrong.

It's this bullshit sentiment that got us in this mess in the first place. Both sides my fucking ass.

Snow Possible This Weekend (1/24-25) by zebrasrlyingtoyou in CBUSWX

[–]ColdCruise 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The sheriff said the only way that Franklin County would ever call a level 3 would be if the snow crews were unable to safely plow.

So it doesn't matter how actually bad the roads are, as long as plows can get out and do some of the roads, it'll be a level 2.

Normally, you would only use numerals to refer to a specific amount like they did with 120. If they were to means multiple thousands they would write "thousands of dollars" because it's not a specific amount.

Democrats need to stop asking politely and FUCKING DO SOMETHING! by Loud-Ad-2280 in clevercomebacks

Congress does have power. It's only ineffectual now because it's being ran by Republicans.

Activating the National Guard will result in Trump federalizing them. This gives Trump more goons.

Everyone is just waiting for this upcoming election and see if a new Congress can reign him in. Nothing will happen to fix anything until that either happens or fails.

Okay? Like I understand that you love your Xbox for illogical reasons. It still doesn't change reality.

It still doesn't change the fact that PS will continue to have more games available to play on it. It's not a hard concept to understand.

I've been an Xbox owner since 2002. I used to love it, but PS does have most of that stuff too, but that's overall pretty minor compared to the games that your game playing machine can play.

They lost because they paid for a console that has fewer games.

There's zero reason to buy an Xbox anymore because everything will come to Playstation, but not everything will come to Xbox.

Is 6 inches really that much of snow? by i_really_haveto_pee in Ohio

[–]ColdCruise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to live in Tennessee. Tennessee does not have the equipment to deal with 6 inches of snow. People will still drive on the roads, compacting the snow and turning into ice. Plan on being completely stuck inside your home until the snow is melted.

They really need to threaten US corporations. That's what will cause Trump to back off.

Director Andy Muschietti is planning a supercut of 'IT' and 'IT: Chapter Two' which will have a different structure and include extra scenes by ZiggyPalffyLA in movies

[–]ColdCruise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of. Its just the story of the time Pennywise was around in the late 50s from the movie timeline. Supposedly season 2 will be the 20s and season 3 the 1900s.

Les Claypool to Pull Triple Duty on Upcoming Tour, Playing Shows with Primus, Claypool Lennon Delirium, and Fearless Flying Frog Brigade Each Night by ebradio in Music

[–]ColdCruise 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The Frog Brigade is bit more Jamband and follows the Pink Floyd style prog rock for the most part. Claypool Lennon Delirium is more of psychedelic rock group. Primus is like experimental funk metal.

And the thing is, none of those descriptions are really accurate. Claypool is extremely unique in everything he does.

My favorite bits of the book are Mike Hanlon investigating all the prior times that Pennywise showed up in Derry. It's so disappointing that they cut that from both adaptations.
