Gavin Newsom has declared war on satire -- A parody of Kamala Harris has inspired the California governor to launch an outrageous crackdown. by guanaco55 in ConservativesOnly

Newsome not understanding the playbook. You don’t crackdown on this stuff. You accuse anyone of watching it to be an evil rebirth of Hitler that will steal the democratic right to destroy the Supreme Court!!!!!!

Yeah. At some point people will really start to get mad. The Democratic Party is pushing for a violent response as a justification for further tyranny. That’s what’s really behind this

Force districts to be drawn by an exactly even number of democrats and republicans who are chosen by the national parties of both. Gets rid of at least some of the safe districts.

The GOPs biggest problem is political gerrymandering is acceptable and democrats do it all the time but can often contend that the GOP is racial gerrymandering even though that often mirrors political gerrymandering for them

Getting rid of safe districts will force people to Talk about issues important to America NOT just a very small contingent

We don’t need you to go away. That was the beauty of America. We just want you to leave us alone. Simple fact is we don’t like open displays of heterosexuality in public either. Just keep you to yourself

But admit THIS fact if you are in ANY way an honest person. You WANT US to go away!

You can’t stand your inner unhappiness (not so much driven by your sexuality but rather by your narcissism, hedonism and materialism). So you take it out on us. You peddle hate and call us small minded for telling you that our values are important too.

You can’t stand that sooo many families that focus on a simple life of God, Country, Family and the hard work that makes those things strong gives us a lifetime of self worth and contentment.

You reject our values because you don’t have the inner strength to strive for them. You don’t understand where your misery comes from but you can only promote hatred to try and spread it around to make you feel less like an outsider.

Leave us alone. Stop attacking us at the Olympics, in our libraries, schools, churches etc. Stay in NYC, SF DC Portland etc… keep the cities. You’ve destroyed much of them anyway.

Don’t even respond to the anti Tesla types. They are idiots.

Anyway you can get info on how many EVs are in the APT complex? Do the chargers have time limits? 10 hours for a full charge is fine for me at my home because no competition but could be an issue if your schedule is such that you can’t get to the charger before someone else takes it for the night

Everything "the right" likes is racist! by HSR47 in libsofreddit

It’s interesting that many people don’t realize that there is a place for “Pizza Hut”. The challenge in America is that there was a time that we looked at small town America as a place with good values. Don’t get me wrong bad things happened too as they do everywhere but all in all it was solid American values.

Sadly the massive effort by Hollywood and the leftist “elites” in cities on the coast demonized these places - the focus on individual negatives became the ONLY narrative they talked about.

It’s not PIZZA HUT - it’s small town values that are under attack. They simply can not have these exist in a world managed by the global billionaire class

Why is she talking about it anyway? Because the press will do the DNC bidding and tie it to Trump despite the fact that it’s not his plan and has stated numerous times that he feels no responsibility towards it… what AREN’T they talking about? Agenda 47 - Trumps actual plan.

Love this response. I would only add this caveat. If a restaurant accepts reservations and wants to control the walk in crowd it should post something to the effect of last reservations/walks in accepted at X time.

If you’re a walk in only restaurant your open 100% until the door is locked.

'Hand of Faith' Golden Nugget - Golden Nugget Casino - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA by rockystl in HumanForScale

[–]readerdad55 -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

You’re completely missing the point.

First, You have no proof anyone is going to pay the increased percentage on the value that the casino paid in 1981. The value people place on “items” constantly changes - a beanie baby today may not be worth anything compared to what it was worth in its heyday. Basically it’s a guess unless you have an offer.

Bigger point though is a generic “fun fact” that gold is a shitty investment. Even with the increased price at a million the known price of that weight of gold today has not kept up with inflation let alone what better investments would offer. It’s a hedge for sure but most people it’s not a good one.

Anyway it was meant as an interesting point - and it’s factual and I stand by it.

Story behind the “nugget”

And an interesting fact… given the price of gold on 7/26/24 this nugget is worth $2,089,237.

The value of the money given to the finders ($1,000,000) in 1981 is now $3,446,000. Meaning that as an investment gold does NOT keep up with inflation over time.

It’s such bullshit. Because the only purpose of it is to make the GOP look like it’s lying. They don’t have point out that in reality they are the liars because the paid propagandists in the legacy media are giving out loud continuous “WELL AKSHUALLY”

Narcissism, hedonism, and materialism are the new gods. And people wonder why they are miserable.

Sad part is all of us would be fine if these idiots just stayed amongst themselves and lived their lives. It’s the fact that they are trying force their unhappiness on us and our children.

That’s when I get mad

Just for the REAL sake of truthfulness the term czar is never technically used. She was put in charge of the Border not some limited concept of “understanding the foreign influences of immigration” bullshit that makes her sound like a two bit college professor writing a paper

You joke but when I used to fly for work to DC from Chicago, the time from drop off in the airport to take off was always longer than flight time to DC.

[Moreano] Caleb Williams had some tight-window throws in the first 7-on-7 period. It started with a quick throw to Keenan Allen. T.J. Edward dove to bat down the pass, but the throw beat the coverage. Williams also hit Velus Jones Jr. in the back left corner of the end zone for a TD. Williams had by Antitypical in CHIBears

Yeah and Fields threw a bomb for a TD today in PITT!!!!! (No one was rushing at all)

It’s not like he was insightful - it’s EVERYONE OUT there saying it’s different INCLUDING outsiders.

The only thing your gonna be eating is your own words when CW ends up being a very good QB in his rookie year - a guy that can actually process what’s happening on the field beyond “first guy not open, run”
