Part of the low life expectancy in African countries may be due to violence, although I'm not entirely certain. But it seems Taco and pals are striving to bring more of that into our country, too.

The "president of peace", ladies and gentlemen.

Ban xitter. There is no reason to let them operate lawlessly.

They are rather easy to get into this loop where they are getting more and more frustrated, since they are almost arguing with themselves. Even though they are also driven on feels and vibes in this mode, I still think they are more likely to have an original thought or question their feelings this way.

Going straight at them just has them yelling slogans and memes and jingoistic nonsense at you. They get to just reel off a playbook of whatever talking points du jour they've been programmed with.

Keeping cool and calm, never getting angry, never raising your voice, but looking them directly in the eyes and not taking the rage bait, and asking them questions about their assertions, their assumptions, and their feelings and their thought processes really puts them on the back foot.

RFK's group has an inverted triangle. Most people are going to read left to right, top to bottom. In the very upper left, the very first thing: a slab of steak. Next to that cheese, just to the right, milk.

On their stupid website, they say this:

We are ending the war on protein. Every meal must prioritize high-quality, nutrient-dense protein from both animal and plant sources...

Um, WTAF. There is definitely not a "war on protein" going on anywhere at any time in this country. Also, the idea that protein must come from both animal sources and plant sources is, well, stupid. Especially as we already can see things like the blue zones and The China Study. But I guess Big Brother is going to tell us to ignore the evidence of our own eyes...

This decrepit old dumbass with no qualification, no education, and no experience is now telling Americans that vaccines are bad and they should eat more animal proteins.

I just can't even. I suppose it will be a real windfall for those in the health industry if even more people are getting sick, not to mention entrenched agribusiness interests keen on keeping/increasing the status quo...

Sadly, conservatives turn humanity into a bucket of crabs - but where they are the ones pulling normal people back down with them.

Conservatives make everything worse for everyone. If only they just made things bad for themselves. I'd love it if only conservatives had to live with their shitty ideology and their shitty choices.

This really is the white trash presidency. Stephen Miller wants everyone brown and black out of the country or at least under the boot of his personal authority. Which is true trailer trash/small dick energy if I've ever seen it.

Taco himself is basically Cousin Eddie, but with money. The only thing he's missing is a shitty RV with a golden toilet and dumping the tank into the water runoff out in front of the WH.

All I can say when I see her is that I see the Saw thing.

The other is that for a "movement" that seems obsessed with trans, and has many of them quite convinced that Michelle Obama really is "Michael", has a dong, etc.... it's awfully weird that it's this person that is an "influencer" among the conservatives? Just sayin'.

I hope they are able to strip them of those masks so we all learn all of their identities and every operation every person is involved in is a matter of public record (that cannot be tampered with by the demons in this administration - every state gets a copy).

I remember when conservative Karens LOST THEIR FUCKING MINDS over citizens going about their normal lives were wearing masks out of consideration to others when we were enduring a pandemic.

Now they all say nothing as ARMED, UNIDENTIFIED MASKED THUGS are going around terrorizing neighborhoods in America.

Yay, religious freedom.

Haha, I believe it.

I'm assuming this was not one of those Subaru station wagons. If you ignore seatbelt laws, you could probably get that many in the back w/ the seat down, LOL.

Yeah, this. Besides vehicles my parents had, I drove mostly two door or four door passenger vehicles and would get an extra set and swap them myself 2x a year. Now we have a truck and a minivan, and I do the same on these. The upfront cost is a bit more, but worth it and I can do it at the house w/o having to wait/schedule anything...

When driving the truck though I always remember it has much more weight than passenger vehicles and drive accordingly (slower), even though it has snow tires. Unless we get snow like a foot or higher that hasn't been plowed yet, the truck's clearance and 4WD is not really going to make much of a difference over the minivan, since they both have snow tires...

It's weird how many adults I talk to still assume we are going to drive the truck just because there is like half an inch on the ground, though. SMH. Except for certain tasks, I prefer the minivan - it fits extra people in it beyond our family if I need to haul them. It definitely has a much punchier feel - the acceleration is much better, it's much easier to park, gets great mileage, has awesome turning radius, less road noise, less bouncing as you go down the highway, don't have to be on the kids about whipping open the back doors into other parked cars, etc. And I haven't looked at the stats, but it probably is much safer in every measure, too. Lower rollover risk, doesn't have truck brakes, and better crumple zones.

Again, it's not even remotely cool. No one is going to accuse me of being a hipster when I'm driving that around. The truck is much cooler in my opinion and newer, LOL. Better sound system. But again, I am married and I'm a parent, so....I'm not trying to impress anyone.

Yeah, I remember a co-worker of mine had to shop around forever and finally have a minivan shipped from out of state, because he and his wife researched and it came down to one model (Honda, I think?). Anyway, virtually everyone else wanted it, too, since it probably was top-rated by Consumer Reports or whatever, and local dealers were charging 5-10K in markup, or more.

So they are not necessarily cheap, especially for the ones others want, and they are not something that are going to get you laid, LOL. I definitely blame the boomers for starting that whole thing, though. For some reason it became a thing where lots of parents want to give the impression they....are not parents. I guess these people thought even though they had kids, they needed a cool car to pull tail? Or be the hawt MILF? What are these people even doing? They are parents! What is this denial bullshit?

For some reason, the very same people that will point and giggle at some older guy wearing a baseball cap and driving a Corvette because he's bald and who does he even think he is - will turn their nose up at driving a minivan even if they have several kids and spend their time in their vehicle carting kids around and getting groceries. No, they need something like an SUV, because....reasons. The same reasons they accuse the guy driving the Corvette of!

I was just searching around on cargo space vs. full-size SUVs, and at least in some cases, the minivan (Honda Odyssey) has more than at least some of the full-size SUV models. They definitely have more leg-room and head-room than full-size SUVs I've been in, when it comes to the second-row seats, anyway. I figure one of those behemoth Escalades might have something comparable, but I've not been in the back of one of those...

Exactly. Snow tires can cost a fair bit, especially if you pay for an extra set of wheels to go with it, but I've lost count of how many times I've seen a big truck or full-size SUV go skidding and it's most likely an over-confident driver that has all-seasons on there...they spent money on the wrong thing if they paid for a big vehicle to "handle the snow better".

And don't get me started on how many of these large cars I see flipped or otherwise stuck and abandoned along the highway when going into work the morning after it snowed the night before...not saying other cars with bald tires or all season aren't going to have similar struggles, but I think the large vehicles and vehicles with AWD give the inexperienced a sense of confidence they really should not have...and that makes a bad problem much worse.

This is the way. Triple down on the investigation. Quadruple if you have to.

Until this motherfucker is getting booked for his murder.

They are going to be some of the most surprised when some of the real true believers that supported them up to a point then turn on them and their families. Call them race traitors or whatever and kill them for this "crime".

Miller is JEWISH, too. It doesn't seem like he's thought any of this out, at all. They almost always end up coming for the Jews. Often sooner rather than later. So while they might be busy getting the brown and the black people and now apparently lesbian white citizens, too....they are not going to overlook or forget that Miller is Jewish.

I doubt Taco is taking the longer view at all. Dude doesn't have many years left, and he could give a fuck about anyone other than himself. He only cares about how many statues and monuments there will be to him when he's gone. I doubt he's given much thought to how many white babies there will be, or how strong America will be when he's kicked the bucket.

I am sure he's at least kinda racist, but I'm not sure he's as true of a believer like Stephen Miller is. Taco is just cunning enough to know there are just enough assholes like Miller to get him into office and slobber all over his knob at every opportunity.

Assuming Stephen Miller.

Yeah. We should have finished the job there and de-KKK'ed the South like they did denazification in Germany.

Certainly we should have known things were way off course when they were allowed to put up statues of traitors to this country.

Trump is going to cause a civil war and I am all for it.

Speak for yourself.
