It’s not possible to help someone stop being willfully ignorant. They have to discover it themselves and change themselves.
Sadly their self-discovery is coming at the cost of everything that made America a special place.

We’ve always lived with such people, who were selfish assholes then, too.
Such folks need to change themselves. I’ve had enough of this meeting halfway bullshit.

That’s what they get for just watching Fox News all the time, I guess.
Sorry to hear it, but it’s not like people didn’t warn them since 2015 that Trump was a lying and incompetent piece of shit.
But thing is, she STILL thinks Trump will help her!? Holy fucking stupid. 🤦🏼♂️

That is inaccurate. The Supreme Court did no such thing.

And anybody thinks that pennies are “useless” because they think nobody uses cash, no, it’s because YOU don’t use cash.
There are a LOT of un-banked people in the US and Canada that use cash. Not everybody uses Venmo or touch payments, folks.
Think. It’s not just about you.

So basically all prices will now climb a minimum of four cents.
That’s an inflationary move.
The point of minting pennies isn’t about being cost-effective, it’s to help enable granular pricing in the marketplace.
Not that Trump knows anything about economics. Because he’s f*ing moron.

This guy… does he not realize that most American industries and manufacturing jobs lost since the 1970’s weren’t “stolen” by other countries, they were willingly moved overseas by American CEOs that wanted to make more money through cheap labor and no benefits.

The last movie wasn’t great. I knew at the time that them showing Bond getting killed was a completely stupid thing to do.
But hey, Amazon owns the Bond movie rights now. They really don’t do the whole “we care about artistic integrity” thing as long as they can cash in on it.

Largely, yes. There is a certain amount of suspension of disbelief required (beyond the stunts) that he’s been an agent since the 1960’s, of course.
An example, Bond #2 (George Lazenby) married Diana Rigg at the end (who was killed); in a Roger Moore movie, he was at her grave leaving flowers.

Your coming out video was INCREDIBLE, so amazingly powerful. Rewatched it the other day and teared up — again!
You’re amazing. Such a good story-teller and teacher!
