A Skil Electric screwdriver.
I thought it was gimmicky but it was $20 about 8 years ago and I thought it might be useful sometimes, I use the every living shit out of that thing to this day, and it's still going

I'm going to start saying I'm "pouring one out for Charlie" every time I take a piss

Personally I do hope it was someone on the left.
The only thing sadder than watching our democracy crumble under fascism is watching it go down without a fight.
When we're a Nazi dictatorship and decent people have to hide, the newer generations will ask what we did to stop it, and so far our only answer is:
"Not a goddamn thing"

I, for one, hope like hell we don't allow it to be.

Even Charlie Kirk getting shot in the throat couldn't keep the Epstein files out of the news for 24 hours

Let me preface this by saying I'm well aware that we don't know anything about the shooter or their politics, they could be Republican, they could be Democrat, they could be some flavor of Libertarian, we haven't seen so much as a photograph, much less even a description.

But I'd like to think this is a sign of resistance and when Kevin Roberts said:

"The second American Revolution will remain bloodless if the left allows it"

He wasn't thinking of MAGA blood being spilled.
I hope our collective response is "hell no we won't allow it!".
The only thing sadder than watching our Nation crumble under fascism is watching it happen unopposed.

a man known for arranging situations with underage girls doesn't quite match up.

It seems a major part of Epstein's goal was to catch powerful people in compromising situations with children to give him blackmail and leverage to keep his rape island open and a steady flow of children coming in.
Someone like Epstein probably would have kept a smaller number of young boys on the island for people who wanted them.
It wouldn't surprise me in the least if there were information like that but it just hasn't surfaced yet.

It's looking more and more like feudalism is going to be what comes next.

Oil is actually primarily formed from algae, not dinosaurs, so it should qualify.

Coal is plant matter, so it also qualifies.

If I could retire right now at 38, and kept my expenses at 100% of what they are right now, I'd still be choosing which bill can wait a week and a half past the due date to make sure we can all eat.

65% and we start drawing straws for who gets eaten this week.

The Businesses didn't pay the tariffs, We did.

This immediately gives me the impression that it's some kind of 4chan bullshit, it's off-putting and cringy as hell.

Corporate culture is based on constant growth and ever increasing profit margins. Eventually they'll amass so much of the wealth that most of the lower class won't be able to purchase anything other than essentials like food.
No new cars, no tech gadgets, no fancy dinners, no vacations, no disposable income.
When we get there the economy collapses because there's no money going into it.
The profits stop rolling in, unnecessary goods stop being produced, and the luxury goods producer's shut down.
At this point the money they worked so hard to hoard becomes worthless because they can't buy anything with it.
What's the endgame for them if their current path takes them to a point where their assets are more or less worthless?

Long pressing on a comment has always collapsed it unless you were replying to the comment, then you could long press to highlight a string of text to quote for a reply.
Now, long pressing closes the parent in reply mode and there is no way to highlight text to copy for quoting purposes.

 

Every self-respecting Democrat or leftist who cares about themselves or their family should own a firearm and know how to properly and safely use it.
We're entering a time where it may be critical that you need to defend yourself. It is not out of the realm of possibility that you or your family may be targeted in the not distant future for your political leanings.
We all know that the Republicans have guns because they never shut the fuck up about them, and we also know that in their wildest wet dreams Trump will let them run the streets gunning down anyone who is isn't white or anyone who voted Democrat.
They have guns, they know how to use them, how are you going to defend yourself when they come for you?

 

I get it, Biden is old and that's a problem, but why doesn't anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein's Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can't remember common names?

Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?
