I’m just so happy on here to not be bombarded with non-stop ads that are set up so you can’t block the ad itself, and then they make it next to impossible to find the advertiser’s user name if you want to block the account

When people rob banks, they go to prison.
When banks rob people, nothing.
Capital One stole $2 billion from its customers and will likely only pay a fine, if anything — proving once again that everything is legal for a price if you’re powerful.

Disagree. If you’re trying to prove incompetence or unfitness, you ask a really easy question where a wrong answer is immediately disqualifying.
Like, “Would you follow an unlawful order to shoot peaceful protesters?”

I'm sorry but the Dems are ridiculously bad at their Hegspeth questions. IMO, if you want to prove someone is incompetent, you ask them the hardest strategic questions they will have to know to succeed at the job

the best part of going to the drug store used to be buying random shit you either forgot you needed or don’t need but buy anyway. the deodorant prisons destroyed that experience.

Will Stancil’s argument was that everyone was wrong about the economy and it was obviously just “vibes” and media that were driving their sentiment.
Now that there is evidence he was wrong all along he’s saying it doesn’t matter, it’s still just “vibes” because people (other than him) are stupid.

This is interesting analysis but I see a bunch of problems with it. First along them is that the voters who came out best (lower-income households) turned against Biden the hardest, which makes no sense if people are responding directly to their own conditions. jzmazlish.substack.com/p/yes-inflat...
