considerably fewer than 70 million functioning brains though....

A million dead, and it didn't have to be that way.

Just hit the ignore button people. -
Probably not incorrect. The millions that loudly and vocally label themselves as "Patriots" and are anything but.
-
To be fair, the fact that they found it and punishment means that their preventative measures work. It does however shine a light on the general republican "if you can't win, cheat" mindset.

That's a pretty low bar.

Agreed. His/her name seems to be overcompensatory

If only cars of the same SIZE crashed into each other, you'd have a point. As it stands, you don't.

Since when has anyone ever cared about that? If they did, the enormous super duallys and so on wouldn't exist. If an F450 or whatever hits, say, a miata, it pretty much won't even feel the bump, and a lot of people who drive those trucks see that as a point of pride. It's a bit late to get worried about vehicle weight. I saw a review of the new Hummer Electric truck last night - no-one has learnt any lessons about energy consumption.

You keep telling yourself that.

Kinda why the right wing platforms are struggling - the trolls only like it when there are people to troll https://www.techdirt.com/2022/03/28/trumpists-admit-that-their-own-social-media-platforms-arent-much-fun-when-they-cant-use-them-to-own-the-libs/

"Founded on" is true, "world leader in" - not so much. Increasingly tending back towards a middle eastern style theocracy, at least in some areas. Doubtless that will get some people upset, but look at some of the legislation being proposed/ pushed through/ approved in some places for the crime of allowing someone to be transgender - or some of the comments by sitting senators and members of congress re. repealing the ability for interracial marriage, or banning books..... the list goes on.

He doesn't seem to have got the message yet that discovery can show up all sorts of interesting information on both sides of the fence. -
These ones in particular are the ones that make me fear for the US. There is a big chunk of the country (a minority, but a decent sized, and increasingly powerful one) that would be totally OK with all of this. Sadly, that seems to include some posters here.

What - you mean Hunter should be given a job in the administration by his dad?
-
That's a fantastic bit of auto-complete

Not really - if you are identifying with Ukraine - the "plucky underdog", then you're kidding yourself.
-
The US is pretty analogous to Russia I guess.
-
There it is - the dumbest thing you'll read all year.

True. And that stuff doesn't happen in a vacuum. He will be agreeing with her on stuff.
-
The US spends more on looking after its poor, sick, and vulnerable, than on killing foreigners. THE HORROR!

Why would he want to downgrade?

Hey Jerry - thanks, wasn't contradicting you, just curious on your thinking. My first company was bought by a US tech fast mover which I then became a director of - my view was that there wasn't inherently anything easier/ better about doing business in the US, but what it did have was scale - we had topped out in our market in NZ because its only tiny. My view is the odds of being successful are actually lower - (way more competitors, especially big ones) but the potential rewards are higher. I lucked out and sold to the right buyer so exited that business twice. Sorry - digressed there.
-
Genuinely curious jerry - why do you think this? I've started, grown and sold companies in 2 countries (neither of which is the US).

Facts are inconvenient for Fox.

And it's sad that the people in that bottom pic aren't bright enough to see the parallels. Or they are and it's intentional. Either way - these are not good people.
