Can I meet my driver for coffee first, see if it's worth pursuing a ride?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

That's great, if you want a black driver.

Here we go, with a whole bunch more trans controversy.

Yeah, they've already figured that out.

My mom has a Hisense TV (because my parents invariably buy the very cheapest they can. They'd get a B&W if they could), and it just started something new - on start up, it now shows a static page of color wash, then you choose a channel. It doesn't start on the same channel you turned off last night. Must be a new update came through. She let it sit on the screensaver all day, because it never occurred to her to try to change the channel.

Not a big deal, but weird, and NOBODY asked for this.

I just saw a study that said if Trump continued on at this rate, he will be responsible for 55% of the national debt. And that was BEFORE the Iran War.

When we get these psychopaths out, and start to rebuild, we already know that they'll suddenly get fiscally conservative, and they'll pretend to be concerned about spending.

When that happens, just take theirs away. THEY are responsible for the debt, so if it bothers them so much, they should be the ones to make the sacrifice to pay it back.

In another email, dated Jan. 1 (year unspecified) with hidden sender and recipient, titled “the snipe hunt is over, moon crickets in field bag,” says in part, “Guess what? They’re n****s,” using a slur for Black people.

Additionally, an email dated Oct. 24, 2016, with sender and recipient concealed, includes the message: “Got it! Amazing old male and amazing hunt!! My bankers should be careful…”

In the same correspondence, another message, with the email address hidden but bearing the name of French banker Ariane de Rothschild beneath it, reportedly gives thanks for the "exciting" hunt.

There are already Sociopathic Oligarchs whose fortunes dwarf the GDP of many small countries. You are assuming they'll be challenging superpowers, but they don't need to do that.

All they have to do is conquer a small nation, probably an island, that NOBODY is going to defend beyond a chewing out, and they've been chewed out before.

So then they control a place like Madagascar, or Papua New Guinea, or whatever, and it's doubtful that the rest of the world will go against them, especially when all the Oligarchs in those countries warn their bought and paid for politicians to stay. Besides, a consortium of Trillionaires can buy off any country that objects.

In a few weeks they'll be using the Epstein Files to distract from how bad the war is going, and $5 gas prices.

Every war ever fought was going to be over in a couple of weeks with an overwhelming victory.
