@Hania16836 Fuck you.

@lost_histories It's so strange that you're wasting some amount of your finite time on this planet of Earth to worry about how fuckable you find an athlete.

Now that the dust has settled can we finally admit she wasn't particularly attractive

@lone_rides Both of these things can be true.

I think being on EBT should be embarrassing

@Griot2325 @ProfWiseAss @JWolf17FTW Oil is a global market. Increasing domestic oil production only floods the global market. It doesn't STAY domestic.

@ProfWiseAss @JWolf17FTW Doesn’t refute my point. If America was simply allowed to drill its own oil, whatever happens in the Middle East would be an afterthought.

Man if only the last guy in office didn’t kill one of the biggest most important oil pipeline deals in the first week of his presidency. If only that same guy didn’t deplete our strategic oil reserves. We could’ve used those in times like these. Oh well…

@TiffanyFong You don't think they were trying in those movies? My sister in Christ. They were purposefully done to feature PoCs

@mojorisn75 @SkllKnghtGonWld None of that is true.

@SkllKnghtGonWld No it doesn’t. If you went to a public school you’d realize this, or if you looked at the data. More money spent on a school’s budget actually correlates negatively with performance. Black kids aren’t going to class because it’s not “challenging” enough, they just don’t care.

Yes very based, let’s funnel more money to public school systems that are failing because black kids don’t care to go to class. So unbelievably raped.

@FreeNortherner EBT passes to the aquarium isn't driving up prices of the aquarium, you dolt.

Leftists will believe that everything should be completely unaffordable for the working class, so the welfare class can get everything for free.

@martianwyrdlord Shit. New York exists too. So that means Spiderman is real.

Historians used to say the same thing about the Iliad. Anyhow, here's Troy.

@SenJohnKennedy @CommunityNotes But maybe if you were a Cal Tech senior you'd know you're full of shit.

You don't have to be a senior at Cal Tech to figure out why inflation rose to 9% under President Biden. He spent billions of dollars and threw money around like it was confetti. This gutted the middle class like a fish.

@MariGO2thepolls Yes the guy who said people who's houses are flooded by rising sea levels will just sell their houses and move is definitelt reasonable.

Anyone who is happy about this is delusional and naive. Shapiro is the voice of reason in the right and you will miss him

@PositivFuturist Conservative rhetoric is literally just flashy fallacies.

The best way to defeat liberals in argument is to argue from the left of them. $15 minimum wage, why not $100? Asylum? why not open borders? They have no principles they can call on to limit their own arguments.

@hypnoksa @AbramsonFL @lilbrudder2 The fact that you don't understand what I said proves you have no idea what the issues surrounding the EC even are

@BonkSlashmaker @AbramsonFL @lilbrudder2 The EC is for all states

If you don’t understand why the Electoral College exists, you are the reason the Electoral College exists.

@CassiopeiaCat @MatrixMysteries @LanierTrader @MontereyAq POV: You're at home wringing your hands like a fucking ghoul at the idea of poor kids learning about the ocean.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium charges $295 for a family membership or $125 for a single adult. With an EBT card, entry is free — and up to four guests get in free every visit. There is a ZERO incentive for these people to ever get off Food Stamps.

@HeathCliff170 @MatrixMysteries Oh noooo. Some kids might get to learn something. That ssssuuucks

@MatrixMysteries Straight off their website. As someone who has been to the aquarium numerous times and seen the price go from $20 to $40 to now $65, this pisses me the fuck off. I go to the aquarium and spend $65 so that ebt Maria and her bastard children can have unlimited free access.

@ThrillaRilla369 No

Should retired people be fully exempt from tax after a lifetime of work? Yes or No?

@hypnoksa @KDPD2123 Madison himself agrees. That the reason a direct vote of the people was dismissed was as a guarantee to protect slavery.

Damn, you slept through civics, didn’t you? Your stolen repost is pure historical revisionism mixed with bad-faith presentism. The Electoral College wasn’t “designed to protect slave states” as its primary purpose. It was a federalist compromise in a knife-fight convention balancing big vs. small states, popular input vs. elite filtering, and preventing mob rule in a sprawling republic with shitty 18th-century communication. Slavery tainted apportionment via the 3/5 Compromise, but painting the whole EC as a white supremacy machine is cherry-picked cope that ignores the full context. The actual history (not your idiotic meme version): 3/5 Compromise first: Slave states wanted slaves counted fully (5/5) for House seats/EVs to boost their power without giving them rights. Northerners pushed 0/5. They settled on 3/5 as ugly middle ground. This inflated Southern clout in both House and EC (since EVs = House + 2 Senators). Yes, it gave extra juice to slaveholders early on—Jefferson’s 1800 win is the classic example. But Northern states mostly voted for the EC proposal, while many Southern ones opposed it. Virginia (big slave state) still had more free people than several Northern states anyway. The EC’s bigger drivers: avoiding direct popular election (feared demagogues + logistics), preventing congressional cabal, and small-state equality via Senate bonus. Madison and Hamilton weren’t scheming for eternal slavery; they were engineering a durable union. It backfired on slave power long-term: The EC helped elect Abraham Lincoln in 1860 with under 40% popular vote. Southern states saw the writing on the wall—more anti-slavery Northern presidents incoming—and seceded. So much for “protecting” them forever.

@hypnoksa @AbramsonFL @lilbrudder2 Meanwhile it's Florida, Ohio, and Georgia that decided elections in the last handful of seasons. You don't want to protect from a few states "controlling" the nation. You want to be selective about which states do.

“Land doesn’t vote, people do” — yeah, we’ve all heard this limp slogan. It’s the battle cry of people who want California, New York, and a handful of urban zip codes to run the entire country like it’s their personal fiefdom. Cute. But it misses the entire point of the American system. People do vote, through their states. This is a federal republic, not a unitary democracy. The Founders deliberately made states sovereign players (see Federalist Papers, Madison on divided sovereignty). The president isn’t just king of the population blob; he has to win a coalition across regions, economies, and cultures. That’s why EC electors = senators (state equality) + House reps (population). Land doesn’t vote, but diverse state interests do, the farms, energy, manufacturing, tech, rural, urban. Pure popular vote? Flyover country becomes irrelevant. Think!

@Imfreya18 @bgcts No.... guy. The obelisk was taken from Egypt and installed in Rome.

@bgcts Wait… Moses was literally staring at the same granite pillar that’s now chilling in front of a Catholic basilica in Rome? History is wilder than any movie. This obelisk has seen Pharaohs, Exodus, and Popes. Respect.

Moses looked upon the obelisk standing in front of the Cathedral Basilica of St John Lateran in Rome

@Dkarbowitz @bgcts @Pontifex What... no. My guy. It's because that obelisk was taken from Egypt and brought to Rome.

@bgcts If Moses ever saw a Catholic Church @pontifex Let alone what was inside of one. He would smash every disgusting hideous idol of a deified human being he found. Everything inside of and spoken in a Catholic Church @pontifex DIRECTLY opposes the Torah of Moses

@hugodeboss1 @veriluxguayaki @EchoesofEmpire_ Tell that to unrestricted submarine warfare and the Zimmerman Telegram

@veriluxguayaki @EchoesofEmpire_ Betraying Germans for the French was the dumbest possible move. Massive domestic and global ramifications
