Who?

It’s crazy to me how a majority of congress cedes their power to the president. I get why, that way they don’t have to take responsibility but I put more responsibility for giving up their power. I know there is more to it but basically the office of President and the Supreme Court exist because of Acts of Congress. I know we are supposed to have checks on governmental powers between the three “co equal” branches but congress has gridlocked itself into towering the president so what ever they want.

I keep reading articles that claim that “behind the scenes even Republincan Congress members have problems with what Trump is doing”. If that’s the case, I wish more had the guts to say it rather than toeing the party line.

Bunch of scared, greedy, assholes, just waiting for their next Lobbyist handout.

I’m with you. I loved the first RDR, one of my favorite games of all time. Fun interesting characters, the side quest plots all went a little sideways, which was refreshing. I really wanted to like RDR2 but it ended up feeling tedious. Lots to love in the game so I understand why so many people said it was an amazing game.

I feel like Rockstar did the same thing with the GTA games. GTA3, VC, and SA were somewhat realistic games set in a goofy world with strange characters and interactions. By GTA4, all the interesting plots were replaced by pointless minigames and going bowling with cousin Roman. That’s basically the same way I felt about the jump between RDR and RDR2.

I never played Red Dead Revolver so I don’t know how that fits in with the rest.

He didn’t even say the shooter might be MAGA, all he said was that the right was looking to pin this on the left before any details were known to the public. They just imagined that he blamed it on MAGA and got pissed off.

In that context it sounds like they are using the word “sadly” in place of a word like “unfortunately”.

“unfortunately, i’m referring to you.”

“Unfortunately, i think you should suffer and realize what an annoying piece of shit you are.”

Now, as to why it’s sad or unfortunate, I’m not sure. It could be that the person saying “sadly” likes the other person but is upset with them in the moment, or the person saying “sadly” could be trying to soften the blow of a mean comment like the one you used in the example, or they could be saying it’s sad/unfortunate for the person they are talking to.

Just my two cents.

Did we need a new slang term for “boofing”? I guess so.

If you’re talking politically, then I agree 100%, like you said, we’ve done terrible shit in this country from before day one.

If I’m thinking literally though, 250 years have passed, including the start of Industrial Revolution. They would have no idea what anything was or what was going on, just like what would happen if someone today was transported that far in the future. That’s why I always think this argument is stupid.

“The worry is they’ll pull you over when you’re driving and ask for your papers,” said Lidia

Your papers, please (or “papers, please”) is an expression or trope associated with police state functionaries demanding identification from civilians during random stops or at checkpoints. It is a cultural metaphor for life in a police state.

Was he a bad person when he was working as a nurse for 45 years? Was he a bad person when he moved in with his mom in his 20s to help her out when his dad died? Was he a bad person when he volunteered at twice a month at a local food shelter? Was he a bad person when he took photos for the sports teams I was on and paid for a kid’s pictures out of his own pocket because the family couldn’t afford them?

Again, you know one thing. You don’t know why he voted that way, I said before, he is a single issue voter, taxes, period.

Don’t bother responding, those were rhetorical questions and I’m tired of conversing with someone so close minded.

And you formed a strong opinion on someone you’ve never met, based on one thing. I don’t mean any offense but that’s the sort of thing a bad person does.

He did. And in the last three presidential elections, I voted for Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton and I dislike all three of them and I dislike the democrats.

People contain multitudes and don’t always fit neatly into the boxes that society tries to put them in.

My dad doesn’t like Trump, gets vaccinated, and his best friend is the nephew of labor organizer Walter Reuther (that friend is a staunch democrat). But, he dislikes all democrats more than he dislikes Trump because he believes that all democrats want to raise his taxes. Classify that however you want.

I’m not sure, I moved away before he became a politician and I’ve never heard my dad mention his name. Knowing that he supported the teacher’s strike in 2018 and ran as a democrat, I’m sure my dad didn’t like him. Like I said, he’s life long GOP just not MAGA.

My dad has lived in WV his whole life. He’s sadly been a lifelong GOP supporter but hasn’t fully drank the MAGA kool-aid thankfully. I say all this because he hated Robert C Byrd with a passion but I’ll be damned if Byrd or someone from his office didn’t respond to my dad when he wrote letters or called his office.

Now GOP voters can’t even reach the numbskulls that they voted for.

I’m with you, I can’t do any of that stuff. I don’t like most social media , the lack of ads and the 3rd party apps was a big factor for me to join.

Needs a Raiden

Dem or not, I’m very hesitant with any politicians with ties to the military industrial complex.

I haven prescription sunglasses. Generally I don’t wear them inside, occasionally I’ll forget that I have them until after I’m in the store though. My eyesight without glasses is terrible so I leave them on. Sorry if I look like an asshole but I would have trouble navigating my way and finding what I need without them.

Fish of Theseus

…I’m sorry

I think you’re right but according to the article, you’re wrong, it’s because the massive studios don’t get enough tax breaks.
