America loses

That's exactly what trump wants.

A bag of big macs congealing on his desk, a victim of sex trafficking in his bed and some news on tv that will make putin happy.

[The police] identified an 18-year-old as the car's owner. He was arrested on a warrant connected to a prior DUI charge from Denver.

What they didn't get from the car's owner was a confession...

"The story that was relayed to me was that the three people who were in the vehicle, all three claimed to have been too intoxicated to know who was driving," said Johnson.

The 3 year statue of limitations was allowed to expire because the 18 year old car owner with a prior DUI claimed to be too drunk to remember if he was driving and his two friends said the same thing.

Democratic elite shitting themselves at the prospect of winning an election.

The Democratic establishment is seriously onsidering backing either a corrupt sex offender or a corrupt trump ally over an energetic, charismatic young candidate with a platform that enjoys majority support.

The rich have two parties, people have none.

Poor folks getting theirs is an option but this also fits the pattern of russian hybrid warfare, right?

Their CEO elaborated: "Did I leave your grandma broke and freezing? Did I start a wildfire that burned your entire town? Come at me, please, so I personally watch you shot dead."

This is a death caused by tech companies' steadfast refusal to properly moderate their platforms. Humans are social primates and we will always have a strong reaction to our social environment.

Yeah I thought it was monopsony but my autocorrect gave me that incorrect spelling and I didn't bother to double check.

Actual farmers are usually held hostage by the agro-giants who buy their product. In most markets there's a Monoposony - like a monopoly but a single buyer who can set prices and terms, rather than a single seller.

Industry behavior is driven by these companies who have all the power. They leave farmers with all of the risk and take all the profit for themselves.

"If a DSA member like Mamdani were to win ... it would be terrible for the city," reads the Third Way memo. "Do New Yorkers really want socialist city-run grocery stores?"

According to an April survey by the Climate & Community Institute and Data for Progress, they do. Two-thirds of New Yorkers said they support the creation of municipal grocery stores ... including 72% of Democratic voters ... Third Way executive vice president Matt Bennett insisted in an interview with Politico on Saturday that a Mamdani victory would allow Republicans to attach the Democratic Party "to ideas that are outside of the mainstream" on a national level.

Just classic establishment Dems here: attacking a wildly popular policy and supporting a corrupt sex offender to avoid fascists calling you a commie.

It's not the smoking of bare foot pets that's prohibited in the building, that's just silly. Bare foot pets just have to stay outside the building while smoking. And rightly so.

If your pot bellied pig tries to go indoors without putting on shoes or putting out his cigarello first, that's on you for being a bad parent.
