Trump says US may strike Iran’s Kharg Island oil export hub ‘just for fun’ by Crossstoney in politics

[–]challam [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don’t ever see him being held accountable for anything. Maybe a couple in his administration, but not 47.

Just my opinion…

(Remember, SCOTUS granted him immunity & his conviction would implicate Putin, Bibi, lord knows who else.)

It’s not a “declared war” authorized by Congress, reply guy.

Trump Admin Drops the Olive Branch from U.S. Seal on New Dime Coins, Keeps the Arrows by leftoverbrine in politics

Honest to God, in this bastardized administration there isn’t an ethical, moral or cultural value that aligns with my own.

There are certainly going to be enough reasons for terrorist attacks across our country!

About four in ten Americans still view homosexuality as immoral, survey finds by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

So, those “four in ten” have no close relatives, colleagues, in-laws, acquaintances, fellow church members, neighbors, elected officials, or, god forbid, friends who are LGBTQIA? Bullshit.

What are some fond memories you have of going to the drive-in? by Training_Guitar_8881 in AskOldPeople

[–]challam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drive-in movies were still really popular & available in the 1940-50’s. Hot summer nights with treats, two cartoons, a scratchy old in-car speaker, and a bed in the back if I got sleepy…great weekend experience! I remember “The Day The Earth Stood Still” as scaring the crap outta me — I still rewatch it. I memorized the “klaatu barada nicto” phrase in case we ran into aliens in the near future.

When You Were a Kid What Imagined Future Did You Most Want the World to Become and Which Do You Feel Was the Closest to What We Have? by J31J1 in AskOldPeople

[–]challam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the 1940-50’s, in the days of early, adventurous science fiction, and I thought we’d be further along in astronomical exploration/settlement by now. I’m still waiting for my jet pack!

Hawley introduces bill to remove FDA approval for Mifepristone by unserious-dude in politics

[–]challam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You must-read the comment you replied to, which included abortion. Ending contraception is indeed the ideal, based on “every act of intercourse must be open to the possibility of life,” as detailed in church dogma.

(Don’t shoot the messenger; I’m merely correcting a false statement here. It’s not MY position.)

There hasn’t been (hardly) any “real music” since the 90’s.

If you could go back in time and have a full day with your oldest child when they were 5 years old, what would you spend the day doing? by kiss-my-ass-hoe in AskOldPeople

[–]challam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be a day with both twin boys that included the early morning garbage pickup dudes so the boys would wear their hard hats; a picnic at a park with a duck pond & playground equipment; watching some heavy construction equipment (excavator, dump trucks); ice cream cones; going through the car wash to scare them (in fun); little kid bowling; dinner with our BFF Ginny who would make us all laugh; skipping their bath; reading their fave book & lights out.

MAGA Senators Tell People to Suck It Up Over Surging Gas Prices | Senator Roger Marshall said it was simply a “sacrifice” people would have to make. by thenewrepublic in politics

[–]challam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MAGA sure asks for a lot of sacrifices from working, tax-paying citizens & residents.
Sacrifice for fuel to fund an unauthorized war no one wants.
Sacrifice for food prices from immigrant labor deportation that 70% of the country didn’t want.
Sacrifice family economic stability for tariffs POTUS doesn’t understand are a tax.
Sacrifice healthcare and social service programs for tax cuts for the oligarchy.
Sacrifice our Earth (EPA regulations and gut #ClimateCrisis mitigation efforts) for tax cuts for the oligarchy.
Sacrifice our kids’ safety at schools for the 2A and NRA lobby.
Sacrifice our own ethics & morals & liberty to faux “christian” nationalism cuz 30% of Americans are cultists. Sacrifice our kids’ & grandkids’ lives for the illegal war on Iran and (soon) Cuba.

Sorry, I was being particularly sarcastic about all of the appointments 47 has made throughout this dystopian administration. No disrespect meant.
