There’s a bipartisan bill in the Senate right now to force the tariffs to expire after 60 days if not approved by Congress. So they’re at least putting on a show of doing something. It mentioned it on the blurb up top

To sell it later because he thinks it’ll be a collector’s item. His only thoughts are ever about making money.

Dozens of Bomb threats suppressed the election day turnout in Blue areas of swing states.

40%? Were you all in on Nike or something?

Rudy pulled the same maneuver and it didn’t work out for him.

…and some say, to this day, the apple is still there.

They used big words so The Dipshit won’t understand enough to get mad at them for it.

Stocks are down all over the globe, not sure if you noticed.

I didn’t act like it was nothing. It was a band-aid on a gushing artery that further cemented health insurance companies into our lives. It briefly slowled the continually rising costs people continue to struggle with today. But they pretty much called it a day for the next decade and a half-where now those same companies are auto denying 30% of their claims hoping no one fights the ruling. Without the public option Obamacare wasn’t the solution we needed. It just kicked the can down the road to our current disaster.

If the goal was actually stalling things, he’d have gotten more mileage not starting it at night, after all the real business had included. Could squeeze an extra half a day of RESISTANCE in there before…checks notes the Democrats help confirm yet another fascist piece of shit appointee into power.

Like I said. It was performative.

Decades? They had the presidency and both halves of Congress for the first two years under Obama and all they gave us was Mitt Romney’s health care plan. And again during the first half of Biden’s term.

The Democratic leadership keeps actively stopping attempts to corral the ability of congressmen to get rich off inside trading. They spent the whole campaign season last year supporting and assisting in a very public genocide. Trustbusting has basically been forgotten - we only have the illusion of choice in our much each industry from the media to even our food products are dominated by like 3-4 companies within it.

Whenever they do happen to get power, they do nothing with it, and then act surprised when they immediately lose it again.

I think they bumped up to 5th recently

Or, better idea, no parties like the founders intended

Breadlines ? That’s socialism. Can’t have that…

Your ideas got us here. With democracy hanging by a thread because both the corporate Democrats and Republicans spent decades weakening the lower classes to enrich themselves. How many 70-80% approval rating policy idea have the Democrats spurned over the years because it would mildly inconvenience their mega donors in the short term?

I think the gutting of school funding, and the adoption of an idiotic non phonics based reading curriculum that was sold basically by some grifter over the last few decades is more to blame. Also Bush’s no child left behind Pass All the The Failing Kids Anyway plan.

I’m not sure what these numbers are measuring, but it looks like less than 85% of schools in the US reported their data, could be a sampling bias there. Also, this is maybe at age 15, when many of the worst readers have already dropped out of school.

It looks like most countries have shitty literary levels, then. I was unaware other countries were just as bad. A quick Google showed a few results not quite in agreement saying the average for adults was 7th-8th grade in the US, or that half were below 6th.

Having been permabanned myself from reddit after 14 years, I’ve never seen that text used as anything other than a mocking tone for the thing being said.

You may have been reading it wrong this entire time.

Look at Mr moneybags, strutting around here with his “enough food to make a bowel movement”

I remember him claiming to have spoken to the president of PR, when was the island thing?
