1850’s? Yes.

I think you meant:

“Ach, now who in the world went and done this to us, once?”

Of course, in a country where everyone is just stealing whatever they can and no one dares tell President Pedophile anything he doesn’t want to hear, the U.S. military will be on par with the Russian military soon.

If we’re talking about the Democratic Leadership, I’d go further and say they don’t believe in democracy either, judging from the response to Mamdani’s primary win in the NYC mayor’s race.

Love Bernie, but this:

But bottom line, if we honestly believe in democracy, if we believe in freedom, all of us must be loud and clear: Political violence, regardless of ideology, is not the answer and must be condemned.

They don’t believe in democracy. That’s it. That’s the core of the problem.

Think back to when Russia was supposed to just roll over Ukraine in a matter of days and consider how years later they are still cowardly attacking civilian targets trying to break the will of this tiny country.

Part of the reason why is because Putin didn’t get realistic reports about the capability of the Russian military because no one wanted to share bad news with him. Also, everyone in the Russian government is only concerned with their own personal enrichment, so they are robbing the country blind.

So consider that and think about what President Pedophile is doing to The US.

Sigh.

This seems like the perfect time to remind everyone that Trump is a pedophile, along with every single Republican*.

* if they redact every Republican name from the Epstein files, the only reasonable reaction is to assume all Republicans are listed.

Well, that’s one.

Exactly. They don’t want to go back to a time when you could be happy, healthy, and raise a family.

They want to go all the way past those times to Antebellum America, when there were no Federal income taxes (US government raised most of it’s funding from things like tariffs…sound familiar?), when kids died from diseases that we’ve since been able to prevent with vaccines, and when you had to have the kids that survived work the mines to keep the family from starving.

They wish they was in the land of cotton.

What they are trying to conserve is not how it is, it’s how it was.

You know, back before the Civil War when they could own people.

It’s not what I voted for, but it’s what they voted for whether they knew it or not.

It’s not about being sure about what’s involved, but being sure that it is what you want regardless of what’s involved.

The reality is no one knows what you’re getting into when you have a child, even when it’s not your first child.

However, you can be sure you want to commit your life to something without knowing the future.

add more features or monetization or whatever

That “whatever” is doing a lot of work.

Security patches and bug fixes are arguably the most important reason to update.

He likes his roadkill rare and his brain worms starving.

Forest rats.

Just make it the responsibility of the companies providing the service to stop it.

Pass a law stating that if you’ve added your phone number to the do-not-call list, and you receive a call you did not want, your carrier has to pay you $50. For each call.

Give them time, say five years, to correct the flaws in their systems. Allow them to pass the charge for any calls that get through onto the carrier who connected the caller to their network, who would presumably pass the charge on until it got to the customer that made the call.

Heck, even when it’s implemented, throw them a bone. The customer has to show it’s an ongoing issue by identifying more than one call in a week.

I’d be making a few hundred dollars a week from my personal cell phone. Over a thousand a day from my work phone.

Soon, they’d find a way to make it impossible to spoof a number. Companies would probably stop selling burner phones. Phone companies that make money by providing service to scam call centers would quickly cease to exist. New companies would have to prove that they are managing their customers correctly or they’d never be permitted to connect to the other carriers.

If they are the right kind of Styrofoam, they can be recycled. See if there’s someplace near you that takes them.

Seems like that’s God’s will then.
