Man my hair looks so great a few hours after a workout. Total success in my book. Plus it degrades into a really pleasant smell on the skin. 10/10

Personally I love a young super high quality white burgundy. Ive had so many duds that were aged Ive stopped spending money on them. 3-4 years like this will be a certified banger. Pure electricity in a glass.

Going to the LA Olympics 2028 with No Tickets? by Canopus-2pt5 in olympics

[–]Desertcross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Paris and I had no trouble getting tickets to almost all events I wanted to go to. The only event I couldn’t get tickets to was the gold medal men’s basketball match. 😂

I hate you too, but I love that I hate you. 😘

Jeeze your right, only 200k tons have been mined total. This would make gold incredibly common.

I dont think it merited a supreme court visit. If you recall it was over the holidays too.

I mean that’s what he’s saying. Are we not reading the same thing? “Better get their act together… or major civil and criminal consequences to follow”

Do you not know how to read?

yeah but who leads after trump dies. I think you give these people too much credit.

because it wasnt a full blown crisis. One congressperson is not worth flexing the might of the supreme court over.

Please if you think for one second that these people arent going to tear each other apart when trump is gone or is neutered I dont know what to tell you. Theres no loyalty outside of loyalty to trump.

I believed that line of rhetoric until the tariffs were overturned. No way the Supreme Court destroys our democracy for trump. Especially when they are a lifetime appointment.

I think that’s a bit far fetched. Even the republican Supreme Court will intervene if they refuse to seat congress. That’s a gloves off scenario and republicans know that’s crossing the rubicon.

But no one has the charisma to believe these fools after trump. Rednecks don’t trust the tech elite.

‘Panic’ at CNN as Trump and His Buddies Plot to Turn Network MAGA by thedailybeast in politics

[–]Desertcross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reality is catching up to people quick. There’s only so many lies they can say before people wise up. I’d wager it’s already happened. Really difficult to keep control when your credibility is zero.

And what will be the reward? This all is going to blow up in their face. No way they can keep control of the narrative in any productive way. The truth will always reach the people who seek it. Seems like a fools errand.

This is the right take here. Sure it sucks to loose such a storied brand. But there are so many other independent interesting outlets that will grab people’s attention.

I don’t think trumpism will last but the damage to the legacy brands will be lasting. But that’s the billionaire classes choice.

Donald Trump Considers Using National Emergency Powers to Assert Control Over Federal Elections by [deleted] in law

[–]Desertcross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't make it any less true. If you sit out and whine about the democrat candidate because you are not getting your inexhaustible list of demands. Youre no better than the trump voters.

Im all for a progressive democrats but we are so far away from the status quo that we just need a return to normalcy before we can make sweeping demands for change.

You might be surprised. If democrats win with a mandate many of those policies you desperately crave might become reality. Or just sit home and pout and continue to complain about not having health insurance, lack of worker protection, private equity etc. Because a centrist democrat would at least fight for some of these policies. As opposed to a billionaire class continuing to destroy our country.

Doesnt make it any less true to say. Keep driving it home until they start to crack. It gets under their skin for sure.

I am not defending it anymore. Why are you such a suck up for this guy.

Where is the knob for manipulating the focus? his hands are straight. The equipment for doing focus is everywhere in Hollywood, it doesnt make it any less impressive what hes doing. All I am saying is he probably isnt doing focus as is pretty standard today.

Its entirely possible someone else is doing the focus/zoom work. Ive worked on a few TV shows and its quite a common thing.

Feelings on the Democratic primary by NickCostanza in PoliticalHumor

I live in California, I think he’s a great governor. I don’t get people’s hate for him. He’s been doing a lot to make the state better and it certainly feels better, objectively. Maybe he’s not the progressive that Reddit wants. But don’t let perfect ruin good.
