        My migraine medicine cost went from $5/month to $40/month. I’ve taken on more expenses and my student loan payments start in two months. If my medicine costs more than it does, I can’t afford it.

    In other news, Taco is a flaming asshole.

    I thought we already “won” weeks ago?

    WTF is this about paying more for this clusterfuck? To the tune of cutting off services that so many rely on?

      As long as Trump is just going to fabricate stuff and lie to our faces, maybe next time he can just invent the entire war effort itself and not actually drop a single bomb. “We’ve destroyed China. No one’s ever seen anything like it. Totally obliterated.”

      pretty sure the GOP is banking on “voting” no longer being an actual thing in the near future

      in other words, no, they don’t give a fuck whether they have a “voter base” or not

        May be the endgame. While the Southern Strategy was all about securing enough voters in a functional system through various means, the next step is just removing the voting issue altogether and gain even more power.

          after they cheat their way to retaining majorities in both house and senate in these upcoming midterms, it’s all over. anyone who thinks there’s any chance of coming back after that is still delusional. “make sure you go out and vote!!” lol, ok…what do i do when they throw away all the ballots that aren’t straight R all the way down?

          personally, i think it was already all over when everyone allowed the GOP to steal the scotus nomination from obama. and THEN the GOP threw their own “rule” that they made up on the spot out the window to allow trump to nominate his third scotus justice.

          everyone who is or was in a position to prevent the millions of steps require to get to this point-- they’re all complicit

      At this point, it is likely he doesn’t need them anymore, and around a third will support him at any cost anyway.

    House of Cards has a season where Kevin Spacey starts a fucking war to cement his position. It’s literally playing out in the white house right now and I can’t fathom why more conservatives aren’t pissed about this.

      You don’t hear more conservatives complaining about this because half of them are blacked out from how hard bombing foreigners makes them, and the other half are too busy jerking it in their truck to the thought of liberals getting “”“owned”“” at the gas pump. We live in a reality that is a parody of itself.

    I mean, imagine an Iranian American regime who, instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorist groups Israel and building up all of these weapons, had invested that money into Iran America, for the people of Iran America, so they wouldn’t have water healthcare shortages, so their economies would provide opportunities for an incredible people.

        Hey now, Voldemort did that because he was getting revenge on his bullies. The books clearly demonstrated that Harry’s dad was a total dick to Tom Riddle. Unicorns died because Hogwarts had terrible anti-bullying policies. It’s like the author is pro-bullying or something.

            My bad. I haven’t touched any of those books in ages. The ones on my bookshelf probably have mold growing on them by now. It hasn’t turned me into a TERF yet so it hasn’t spread to the walls of my house.

    This dudes pumped up on drugs and saying gibberish. His doctors would whistleblow on what he’s on and maybe that’ll invalidate his words.

    Reminds me of the trope in movies where the king is ill and words are taken literally based on whoever. No surprise when they’ll AI gen him after he’s gone.

    Guess it’s time to shut down the military if you can’t afford it and keep using it for class warfare against the working class majority of humanity
