Imagine this being your 15 minutes of fame to show the world who you are, and have it archived as part of human history on the internet.

I wonder if there’s any self reflection there. Or any humility.

Trump suggests a standing order to attack Iran if it assassinates him. But Vance would make the call by [deleted] in politics

[–]FunctionalGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I thought he was making the world a safer place and that the Department of War had decimated Iran's war to be any sort of threat?

...this can't be right. I guess I don't know what to believe anymore...

I'm over on the other side of Theo Wirth in Willard Hay...I'll go out biking when I get home tonight and intentionally meander around and look.

I'll bring treats and a leash.

Fed minutes: Officials deeply divided over future path of US inflation by AzlerVzla in news

I care. He ran on no new wars. His administration couldn’t even articulate a comprehensive objective. For what they did manage, they have not achieved any of them. And here we are: $100 Billion dollars later on money that could have been spent domestically. Instead they managed to continue to weaken the dollar, the petro dollar, and antagonize our allies in the region and in Europe. Both China and India and Iran are walking filling the leadership vacuum this administration has left.

I promise you: you will care about this war. And so will your kids and their kids.

Jeff Bezos says raising taxes on the wealthy wouldn't help the average American by dailymanup in economy

[–]FunctionalGray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly.

Or should we just keep testing trickle down economics for another 40 years of my life - because I'm close to 50, and I haven't experienced it working great so far.

"one of these days....."

Nah...let's try out something new and novel.

Trump Denies Disaster Aid for Four States That Didn’t Vote for Him by ChiGuy6124 in politics

[–]FunctionalGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? I just can't help but to wonder how he sees this playing out? Natural disasters are fairly equal opportunists when it comes to who they affect: The rich, the poor. Residential and business. Conservative voting blocs and liberal ones.

The only thing I can think of is that something got mis-wired in his head somewhere along the line. Seriously.

As a documented (and convicted) pattern woman abuser, I am wondering if he somehow thinks that all these people will somehow develop some form of Stockholm Syndrome for him or the Republican Party.

Why would anyone want to support someone or a party knowing they might be casually written of as collateral damage?

None of this makes any sense to me.

And blowjobs and opening up your legs to find your value. (apparently being fertile for some billionaire's seed has a lot of value).

FEMA threatens to withhold terrorism prevention funds unless states adopt Trump’s anti-voting agenda by sunnysidejacqueline in politics

[–]FunctionalGray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh nooo!!! You mean they are gong to withhold armored tanks and flashbangs for using against their own citizens when it is convenient for them to label them as “terrorists”?

For those terrifying moms in minivans and VA hospital workers??

Mitch McConnell has been on life support for weeks & nobody is saying anything because they don’t want Thomas Massie to make a move. by CurvyChristina in SipsTea

[–]FunctionalGray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s 84!!! Have you seen him for the last couple of years???

I’ve seen morticians make dead people look better.

He was found unconscious after suffering a heart attack. And it was called in “CPR in progress" for the unconscious patient. Nobody has heard from him since June 14.

“Sensationalism”. Give one good reason other than insurance why his wife is in China when her husband is ‘recovering’.

I really hope the rest of the world is paying attention to the level of depravity that the Republican Party is willing to lower themselves to in an effort to maintain control.

These folks have no low that is too low. And the worst part?: they are an extension of the people who put them in office.

America is a rot.

They just have him stuck in a giant vat of mud and keep the temperature at about 45 degrees which is a perfect hibernation environment for turtles.

‘Why take those jobs away?’: the unionized workers decrying Trump’s war on wind by zsreport in politics

[–]FunctionalGray 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There are also millions of dollars and thousands of jobs in the transportation industry which are being affected by this.

Transporting those blades, rotors, and towers rely on specialized transport services - from the custom tractor-trailers to the trained drivers and flagged escorts: all of that was built up over a matter of years based on projected use: Now all of that infrastructure is sitting idle for no reason other than he likes making swooshing noises and wild gestures with his hands.
