I cant even convince our resident think tank that I like and want living expense money so Im not too hopeful about this Sisyphus-like discussion. Do you guys think only Trump / Repubs have bad ideas? People are people and everyone thinks their way is the right way to do things. Trump has exacerbated a fundamental breakdown in our ability to work together and imo, the Dems have "no choice" but to go hard in the opposite direction. Theres no middle ground left.

Pendulums swing, back and forth. For every perceived Trump wrongdoing, right or wrong, the Dems will grossly "correct" the "problems" by going in exactly the opposite direction. Our "great republic" has departed from any rational governance and now everything is a pissing contest that MUST be played out in the court of public opinion with maximum snark and minimum rationale. We'll see if Im right in 2-3 year, and I hope Im not.

Lols. Another day, another existential crisis for the republic? Pants are REALLY going to be soiled when you see the crazed overcorrection of the next Dem president.

The Flash Started watching again after skipping almost all of season 5. Ive been slightly entertained but I have no intention of watching Arrow and Supergirl just to see the full story of Crisis on Infinite Earths. I hate when they do that.

Because you cant whine on social media with a dead phone.

New Chinese military aircraft looks like flying saucer.

Judging everyone from our myopic "Western" values is the same dumbness as judging the past from todays societal norms. True story. Let the swelling begin!

Verisimilitude, natch. 26 different eye colors! Holy moly.

Oof, my man Yang is stinking up the joint. Weve got to swing this election in his favor. With his boon I may be able to retire before I die. Get out there and vote Yang!

Thats one of the things I appreciate about you as a poster. You will invest the 0.69 seconds to figure it out instead of braying like a donkey.

COLA = Cost Of Living Adjustment At that time, based on your rank and number of dependents, you would get additional monies if you lived off base. At this time, its blowing minds, and Im the mayor of Crazytown.

Who doesn't want a COLA? Even our military provides one (or at least they did in the 90s).

Honestly, its a bit hilarious and weird to me. Random presidential candidate *proposes something* Gfted1 *enthusiastically endorses said idea* Some posters *redassbaboon.jpg*

^^Im willing to give up 10% mortgage reduction for COLA. Vote Yang!

Poppyc0ck. We just need another suitably motivated and shifty president to ram it through ala Obamacare. But Im a patient man, lets start by voting in whoever is going to give me that sweet sweet COLA.

Joker Hmm, Im not sure how I feel. Phoenixs' portrayal was outstanding and it was an interesting depiction of Jokers origin story. But it also clocks in at over two hours and there were a few times I glanced at my phone to see how much time was left. Im not sure how it compares to Joker's comic book canon but I was surprised by

Alexei Leonov

Its come to my attention that this is apparently a real noodle scratcher. But I forgot one of the foundational tenets when communicating via text on the internet, which is "there are two kinds of people 1) those that cannot extrapolate from incomplete data 2) So ima clarify point by point as best I can: 1) Monthly stipend; a candidate is offering 1k per adult in your household. For me this will equal 3k per month. This equals 36k per year. This equals 288k over the course of an 8 year presidency. For me, 288k is better than 0k. I cant think of any better way to explain that. 2) UHC. For me, getting free UHC is better than me paying medical/dental/vision insurance. I cant think of any better way to explain that. 3) Reduced mortgage. For me, paying 10% less on my mortgage is better than paying the full mortgage. I cant think of any better way to explain that. 4) School loan forgiveness. For me, paying nothing for my child's education is better than paying a lot for my child's education. I cant think of any better way to explain that. I hope this rights the ship.

The Democratic candidates is where Im getting this from (Sanders, Warren, Yang). And how do we know it wont work before we try it? The top 1% own 99% of the wealth (or however the sound byte goes), and having been birthed, Im owed this stuff. Not a single soul in my sphere of influence counts as "the rich" so I think we should give it a solid 8 year run. The problem is, Sanders could die before it gets enacted and Warren is probably lying about it. So I think the choice is clear, vote Yang! Can I count on your vote BVC? Nobody will know or care that your not a US citizen.

Chinese citizens will have to scan their faces to get internet access and new phone numbers. Yas! What a brilliant plan.

I actually waited a few seconds thinking something may be loading.

Yeah, Im not sure whats so hard to believe either. I really do want: living stipend, free healthcare, mortgage reduction and school loan forgiveness. And it would be free to me because I have my pockets turned inside out and do not fall into the category of "the rich". Who doesn't want that?

Ah, that clears it up. Erdogan threatens release of millions of refugee into Europe. *Narrator*: And suddenly Europe went quiet.

It wouldn't be the internet without the reddening and swelling of someones buttock. In other news, I guess we all have to smash our iPhones now, in solidarity.
