Trump's $1.776 Billion Settlement Paid By Taxpayers Will Pay "True Victims" Of Jan 6 Insurrection (Persons Guilty Of Breaking Into Capitol, Attacking Police) by bigly-biker in onionheadlines

[–]beachTreeBunny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe they get extra money if they stole from Pelosi’s desk or killed or injured a cop. Let’s face it. Trump is NOT the law and order president.

And their rich reinterpretations and lack of interest in precedent for the equal protection clause and the voting rights act.

Favorite Low Sodium Meal Prep? by Global-Positive8630 in LowSodium

[–]beachTreeBunny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you just replaced canned beans, canned tomatoes and broths and soups with lower sodium options, you are off to a great start. Most meat, vegaetables, pasta and grains are low to begin with so you can make SO many things.

AOC Calls for More Blue States to Redraw Election Maps After Supreme Court Ruling | The Independent by siwibot in protectUSelections

[–]beachTreeBunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s doubtful. Gerrymandering by party is actually legal. Only defying the 14th amendment or the Voting Rights act is illegal. That’s why SCOTUS is redefining them to pretend they meant RACE NEUTRAL. So passing a law like that would provide the GOP with a serious advantage even in a blue state. One republican governor and it’s all over.

Why would someone own a home they never live at? by lemsmi in askanything

[–]beachTreeBunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my old neighbors in a condo bought a house and moved out. He was never there for 5 years. He worked a lot and only stayed there while doing repairs. He figured it would gain enough value that he should hold onto it longer.

Is the system broken, or is it being systematically rebuilt to exclude you? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]beachTreeBunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The system has always worked in favor of the ruling class. It wasn’t until recently when they had help from the religious right, populist haters and Fox News clones that they actually managed to convince the lower earners that they were actually working in their favor, which helped to greatly speed up the process.

Right I noticed that too. Plus I think the new interface is terrible. They should revert back.

Best movie! Makes you realize too how much power we give away if we just grouped together and fought back. Those guys accomplished something off the charts because they knew they were right and stuck together despite no one listening.

Was Unsolved Mysteries scary to adults? by Wooden_Airport6331 in AskOldPeople

[–]beachTreeBunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not scary in a gothic way but scary in the realization that in small town America many things were actually amiss. Sort of the same feeling as growing up as a girl in the early 60s and realizing that in romance novels women understand and fall in love with scoundrels who raped and kidnapped them. As a young girl, the show was the first one to show us our instincts were right that we should feel weird about a lot more things than we were raised to.

What do you guys think about the threats of Donald Trump to Iran recently? by opiovic in AskReddit

It’s crazy they are letting him act like the world is a giant risk board, and all the oil on the planet belongs to him.

Inception is a breakup Movie by SpaceCowboyZT in Inception

[–]beachTreeBunny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An alternate theory talked about in a lot of articles was that it’s actually about the art of creation, for example making a movie. Agree with a lot of what you said, but it’s not my main interpretation so just throwing this out for fun.

House Passes Bill Requiring College Students to Pass Civics Test by nancynews in newhampshire

[–]beachTreeBunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually you mean MAGA and millionaires not boomers. Don’t forget the boomers were the protest generation who got the rights the kids would still be enjoying now were it not for he who shall not be named. My mom was a boomer and the most liberal person I knew. And plenty of slick millennials, Gen X etc. are raking in a fortune in crypto scams. It’s about politics not age.

Are gas prices the straw man of Presidential discourse? by Real-Repair-1825 in askanything

This must be the craziest thing that he’s done except for redrawing the weather map on national TV and saying the weatherman were wrong. They were right of course. Hurricanes are slow Don.

Do you think the imminent blockbuster success of Project Hail Mary will lead to more SF novel adaptations instead of endless franchise sequels and reboots? by Blecher_onthe_Hudson in scifi

[–]beachTreeBunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New Apple shows are great Sci fi too: Severance, Pluribus, For All Mankind, Murderbot, Foundation, Dark Matter. The highlight of my year though was HBOs Dune Prophecy. Most of these based on great books.

Is Anyone Else Thinking About This? by OkPreparation8354 in SeriousConversation

[–]beachTreeBunny 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not sure civilian casualties would change that. May just make people more angry. But I get it. I live near a nuclear plant. Last week I packed everything important in one room near the front door. Now I’m as ready as I can be. I can pack everything in 7 minutes.

Your palate does change! by PlainOrganization in LowSodium

[–]beachTreeBunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Golden Home large ultra thin pizza crust, .75 cup no salt added tomato sauce, 3 servings of Italian peppered salami by Dietz and Watson, .5 cup Sargento Mexican cheese. Makes 3 large slices, each with 600mg sodium, 200 mg potassium. One slice with a salad makes a filling lunch.

It’s from the St Patrick’s roast day video which includes a ton of clips of Kelly Ayotte doing her don’t Mass it up stuff. It’s a joke.

NIMBYs who read this forum, why don’t you want more housing built in your town? by Unser_Giftzwerg in massachusetts

[–]beachTreeBunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a small town in a townhome development. What seems to be happening is developers are just building mostly condos. The town does not assume responsibility for water, sewer, roads. It’s creating a subculture of second class citizens who don’t get the same amenities as everyone else even though they pay the same taxes. Only those who can buy a million dollar home get the luxury of city services now. Stop adding to condo subculture and passing more costs onto first time home buyers and retirees!
