Also, even the reputation he has was bullshit propaganda. The common canon of the story is that Columbus knew the Earth was round and everyone else told him he was crazy, that the Earth was flat and he was going to sail his crew off the edge of the world. That’s not remotely true. Everyone knew he Earth was round. It was completely accepted and common knowledge at the time.

They did call Columbus crazy and say he was going to kill his crew, though. Not for believing the Earth was round, but for believing it was about a third the circumference that it actually is and was essentially known to be. The reason people didn’t sail west to get to the Indies was because it was believed to be (and is) a loooong fucking trip. He disagreed and thought it would be able a third of what everyone else knew it to be. So he only stocked the ship with enough supplies for what he this much smaller distance.

He sailed his men west past the point of no return to what absolutely would have been there certain deaths. And they got close to killing over it when there supplies ran critically low. Had he not lucked out and found land WAY fucking early and nowhere near his destination, he would have been remembered, if indeed he were remembered at all, for being a complete moron, because he was. He was just a moron that got saved by dumb luck.

And that’s the “heroic” stuff that were meant to applaud him for, independent of the horrible treatment of the natives at his use

He only got a holiday because Catholics wanted a American figure that represented them and so they lobbied hard for it.

Any seat that doesn’t have a primary challenger is a mistake. Incumbent should have to justify their continuing role to their own party, not just an opposing party, just like a new comer has to justify why they would be better. Maybe stability is better, maybe the incumbent is doing a great job and should continue to do so, maybe new blood with perspectives are needed, maybe more drive and passion is a priority. You know who should get to decide those things? The party voters, not the establishment.

That’s honestly the least unhinged policy he’s likely to push.

Kanye’s phone is probably ringing right now

Psychic abilities too.

What Americans are calling people idiots for saying (day) of (month)? We say it both ways all the time. 4th of July, July 4th… it’s not a complicated thing.

Nah, you need patience. Another week and they’ll be perfect.

Why do we keep picking random things to point out that tariffs will effect their price. The tariffs will effect almost everything’s price. Even if things are made in America, very few things are made with 100% American resources, meaning at least some materials, parts, and assembly will be done outside the US and be subject to Tariffs. And even if the thing is 100% American made, when all the competition has to raise prices, guess what they will do too. Nearly nothing will be unaffected by tariffs.

Kiss our collective asses, you fucking oligarch loser

I don’t think they “net” 2 wins. The seats were already Republican held and remain Republican held. So it’s a wash.

Tariffs for Canada and Mexico would only be beneficial for automotive manufactures if A) American manufacturers were not heavily invested in and leveraging factories in Canada and Mexico and B) Canada and/or Mexico had any major auto manufacturers of their own competing with American brands. Neither of those is true. They MAY divest from Canadian or Mexican factories as a result and reinvest in domestic factories. BUT they are going to take big losses for that divesture AND be paying tariffs every time their parts ship between their factories across the borders right now. Their costs are going to go up and Americans will have to pay for the difference there.

“Nuh uh” is what you’re going with, huh? The screenshots, the validation from your own administration… and your response is “didnt happen”?

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command”

My wife asked who we are at war with, lol.

Panama, Greenland, China, Canada, Mexico… take your pick. Who aren’t we going to war with? Fucking LoompaLand is probably on Trump’s shit list for stealing his look.

Of course the real answer is Yemen, so add another one on the fucking pile.

USPS was a fully self-sufficient dependable and inexpensive service for generations until stupid and unnecessary limitations were placed on their revenue streams and functionality. The end goal was always to replace them with a private entity that, by the nature of profit-driven businesses, will be more expensive, less efficient, will be a worse employer and have less oversight and transparency by the public. Also expect junk mail directly from your postal service from now on.

Cute girl: “Oh, Light, you’re so cute. Let me give you my number.” … “Oh shoot, do you have a piece of paper I can borrow?”

Light: “Uh, yeah…” absentmindedly rips piece of the Death Note out “Uh, here you go…”

Cute girl: scribbles number on page “and there you go, cutey” walks away

Light: looks at paper “Oh… Oh no. ‘555-5555 TTYL, Light Yagami’? … Fuck.”

L: *rips off cute girl disguise" “Heh.”

The French started this particular Tesla protest strategy. Vive la révolution.

The entire Trump Administration is Dangerous Morons with Uncheck Power and RFK Jr., in particular, is the Avatar of Pestilence. The idiots, the bigots and the evil took the reins with the help of the lazy, apathetic, and cynical who couldnt be bothered to act against them. God has forsaken us.

Roberts and the rest of SCOTUS can’t do anything about impeaching a federal judge even if they wanted to. Congress holds the power of impeachment. If all of the GOP grovellers in the House follow Trump’s orders like lap dogs, then the judge will be impeached. They need two thirds majority in the Senate to convict and remove the judge though, which is unlikely (though apparently not impossible with Schumer and his lackeys apparently willing to appease every stupid whim of Trump’s and the GOP’s while they “bide their time”). SCOTUS has no say in the matter.
