      And 90 million took a look at Trump and Harris and went “both look fine, I don’t care enough to vote”.

        both look fine, I don’t care enough to vote

        Voter suppression in the United States

        Past that, it is very weird to insist a less-than-perfect turnout in a Blue States was a vote for Trump. And God help you if you had the nerve to vote third party. This was somehow a vote for both Trump and Harris, through the eyes of the opposition parties.

        Harris shed over 10M votes relative to Biden, and Democrats still don’t want to ask why. It’s always a betrayal of the party by the voters. Politicians never seen to have any duty to the people.

        And another 40 million are shocked because people aren’t falling in line for controlled opposition.

        We really are a stupid bunch. Rich people keep getting richer off of it ;)

      ‘Thought’ implies that they made premeditated, informed decisions out of own free will, and were not manipulated into voting for whatever the media outlet they happened to listen to told them.

    “Russia has so many vast resources, vast expanses of land,” Witkoff, who last week was busted coaching Russians on how to best suck up to the president, told The Wall Street Journal.

    “If we do all that, and everybody’s prospering and they’re all a part of it, and there’s upside for everybody, that’s going to naturally be a bulwark against future conflicts there. Because everybody’s thriving,” Witkoff said.

    For Witkoff, Kushner, and the Russians, the goal is reportedly to revitalize Russia’s $2 trillion economy through joint Russia-U.S. ventures. At the center of the talks is $300 billion in frozen Russian central bank assets that Russia wants to give to U.S. businesses for investment projects and U.S.-led reconstruction of Ukraine.

      so fucking dumb. Russia’s economy had become intertwined with Europe’s due to energy. everyone was benefiting.

      IT DIDN’T FUCKING MATTER!

      Russia has made it IMPOSSIBLE to be at peace with them.

      Yeah but police follow the money until it gets too hard to pull people in (or someone on the force is protecting them).

      So usually they just take your basic B&Es and corner street dealers and shoplifters and leave it at that.

      Nobody ever asked why the criminals chose a life of crime.

      Nobody goes after the employers that are paying slave wages, training employees how to sign up for welfare, or getting their employees to work off the clock.

      The welfare one especially. People get mad at welfare recipients and not the people that put them in that position. Welfare is subsidizing the Walton’s more than anything. They could afford to pay their employees a living wage, but why would they when they can pay the minimum and working-class taxpayers can pay for the rest. Dumbass redcaps should be shunning Walmart, not sucking its proverbial dick.
