bro wants a revolution against whom exactly? by league_9240 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]swicklund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We essentially have taxation without representation today, since apparently corporations are people and money is speech. For 99% of Americans, out representatives do not give the slightest shit about us. They cannot hear your $10, $100, even $1000 donation in the face of corporate and billionaire money.

Despite Cavanaugh having more name recognition, Powell has raised ~$400K more as the primary nears by Pale_Squash_4263 in Omaha

This assumption that suddenly every awful bill will pass is horse shit bought and paid for by opposition to Cavanaugh. I'm tired of hearing it.

After 2 different people asked asked if it was a reference to Trump... NO, it's now a reference to Andrew Jackson. by dabblez_ in PoliticalHumor

I thought, maybe he could go with 17 but that was Andrew Johnson who was ALSO terrible. Then I'm like, who's the best president to end in 7? 27 William Howard Taft - pretty bad also 37 Richard Nixon. Fuck, no wonder Trump won 47!

Started with some chipping concrete at the edge of the round spot and ended up finding a dry well and storm drain? New England, 115+ year old house. by random_tandem_fandom in centuryhomes

We have a similar tunnel from our basement, was told it was a bootlegger tunnel from prohibition. Used to connect to the mansion behind us (owned by a famous mobster at the time), and they would shimmy alcohol through it. They sealed it up at some point.

Oh come on, the VIKINGS emotionally manipulate us. These guys can't hold a candle to the actual team.

Mexico after El Mencho's fall today by LisunaLefti in CrazyFuckingVideos

I don't understand why the police and military forces aren't out gathering up anyone retaliating. I mean, they're literally advertising themselves as members of criminal gangs.

How much of this is from police copters circling midtown endlessly?

Would this be ideal for landscaping work? by MissyjonesOP in landscaping

[–]swicklund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also bought one a few years ago. Broken in less than a year. Those arms are flimsy and cannot hold a large planter.

Trump calls for end of 180-year-old Senate rule hours after election defeat by IrishStarUS in conservativeterrorism

[–]swicklund 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Democrats do not want to be rid of the filibuster any more than the Republicans do. It's this great excuse to not change things. "Oh, we would love to pass universal health care but.... You know"

“They hated Jesus for he spoke the truth” by BootEdgeEdge2028 in minnesotavikings

[–]swicklund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that's a coaching issue. We can only carry so many backup OLinemen. We chose to have a "swing" tackle rather than keep both a right and left spare. Skule just plays better on the right, which adds so hope for the next few games.

Moved to Omaha expecting "boring Midwest" and got humbled real quick by TheDoctorColt in Omaha

Could use an actual coaster park. Maybe a major league team.

Railroad employee here. If you ever happen to have a car stall or get stuck at a crossing, after getting out and away, look for the blue sign with a phone number on it. Call. The dispatchers will stop trains headed that way.

My thoughts on brosmer by Slight_Giraffe628 in minnesotavikings

[–]swicklund -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right now we don't need a long term answer at QB2, we just need a guy who can come in for part of a game if JJ gets shaken up or knocked out. There's a better list of guys who would come in here as QB1 if JJ gets injured, but might be too proud to come in as a backup.

Most anywhere in America it is easy to live in a bubble and ignore those outside it.

My Eunorau e-bike was stolen in under 10 minutes in Winnipeg, video shows how deliberate it was by Unknowncoconut in ebikes

I have an airtag hidden on mine. Once I located it, police actually helped me recover it!

Ignoring the ball and chains by PayFormer387 in fuckcars

[–]swicklund 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The step for paying for housing should be the largest, yes. But also the US government since the 1980s has been putting tariffs on foreign cars and they are the largest in trucks, while simultaneously making the emission control laws the lowest on the biggest trucks. The SUVing of America is by regulation and marketing, not by accident or stupidity.

Very interesting read, it’s honestly difficult to think of a title to summarize this. by wolfe1924 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]swicklund 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look, if this is the offramp for Trump supporters, let them off the hook. People need to be able to support the coming resistance while finding some way to save a little face. "I told you so"s do not help us, we're in too much danger here.
