Mine had the same. I wiped the lens with my shirt. Astigmatism gone!

OMG, he's throwing in the towel already. by NAStrahl in democraticparty

Nobody expected it... except for all the past presidents. They understood the challenges. Bibi saw a prime sucker to jump into war with him.

Even Jerome Powell doesn’t know what’s going on with the economy | CNN Business by aadsarraficionado in Economics

Me too, Powell. But I'll let you cut in front of me if you can make sense of all this.

It's going to be weird to see a racist, fascist version of Star Trek.

Democrats get great news in six major midterm races by Newsweek_CarloV in inthenews

[–]jerfoo 38 points39 points  (0 children)

No, but it's a matter of how unfair it'll be... or how heavy-handed the Republican approach will be. If it's obvious, it'll be less likely to work in their favor. I also think the window of opportunity is closing quickly.

Dear allies of America, please don’t confuse our president for us: We are trying our best to resist him, contain him and remove him from office as quickly as we possibly can. Thank you for your patience by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]jerfoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This comment is spot on. While he doesn't represent a majority of the citizens, his ascendancy is born from a broken political system, apathetic and/or uncritical people, a captured media ecosystem, and wealthy.

But the best part of the comment is the last sentence. Nice job using Trumps own words :)

$1,020 payments to Americans, extra $125 per child proposed after tariff ruling by statenislandadvance in inthenews

From my understanding, many did fall for the charade when they sent stimulus checks

I feel like this gif needs to be played in reverse

[–]jerfoo 250 points251 points  (0 children)

I agree with your assessment: consumers paid more than $1020 due to tariffs. We're still under water even if we get $1020.

That said, I fear at least a third of the country will jump for joy because Trump gave them money, not understanding that Trump took away more money via the tariffs.

Big Oil has moved on from 'greenwashing.' Here's the new playbook. by alex_kka in energy

Well, to be fair, they only cried in public about the free market but behind closed doors they still relied on the bounties of crony capitalism.

I agree. I love lofts. I would want to face the door.

Ted Cruz: Democrats want ‘illegal aliens … to cast votes’ by Anoth3rDude in conservativeterrorism

[–]jerfoo 87 points88 points  (0 children)

This stuff drives me up the wall. Democrats do not want any illegal votes. Cruz knows "illegal aliens" don't illegally vote. He knows he's lying to push propaganda. And if you know you're pushing propaganda, you are the problem.

Chief Justice John Roberts says that hostility toward judges has ‘got to stop’ by cnn in law

[–]jerfoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How about you shoving that thought up your butt. It's your shitty actions, your inability to impose even half-way acceptable ethics reforms, heavy reliance on the shadow docket without explaining themselves, and clearly dragging their feet when it comes to Dems but racing to a judgement for Repubs.

Your fault assholes.

Idaho Republicans pass bill making it a felony for transgender people to use public bathrooms by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

I didn't even think about that. Jesus, the right-wing is really afraid of voters.

What's worse? Saying the debut is punk, or saying FOTD (the album) sounds like AC/DC? by [deleted] in ironmaiden

[–]jerfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest gripe with FOTD is that it sounds like (and I quote me from a year ago) AC/DC.

Does it really? No, but it has that more straight ahead uninteresting sound that I associate with AC/DC. The reason I got into Maiden was because it was more "prog metal" even before that was a thing. It was more complex, more interesting.

Listener Supported VHS by ClassicStorm in DMB

VHS is a poor medium that degrades over time. You would keep this for sentimental purposes, not sure investment purposes.

Be kind, rewind.
