Harris was the first to drop out of the last Primary. Do people really think that she is what the majority of Democrats wanted?

Oh, she's pro locking up more people and making the Drug War even bigger by continuing to go after chronic pain patients and people who need medication after surgeries.

She ticked the correct policy boxes of big business and prison labor way before her superficial looks allowed an old racist like Biden tokenize her.

I prefer the term rat-fucked. Because one small group came in and took all the best parts of the Economy, leaving everyone else with powdered eggs and ham loaf. Not to mention the extra constipation causing cheese product.

At least when dog-fucking occurs, cute puppies come out. After a good rat-fucking, all you get is weird diseases and shame.

Maybe this will stop Congress from abdicating their duty to the Executive Banch and start passing updates to laws. The way we had it was that every change of president allowed more cronyism to change the rules.

Doesn't anyone remember that Trump gutted the EPA and made them change how they worked scientifically? How the DOE decided that Coal and Gas production was the future during Trump? Did everyone forget that Trump allowed the Department of the Interior to sell gas lease for the Arctic Wildlife Preserve.

All those changes used a Chevron defense.

Am I the only one who remembers that Biden said he would only serve 1 term because the DNC pulled out more trickery to keep Brnie from winning?

They made sure to keep every other candidate up until super Tuesday and then all the other candidates pledged their votes to Biden. Warren made sure to stay in to keep those people who voted for her from voting for the only other progressive.

Harris had the worst showing of the last primary, so why should she be considered a frontrunner. The Democrats are running the same plan they did in 2016 and 2020, but we aren't Trump is a terrible position. U admit that he's a better choice than Trump, because any half-dead moderate Democrat is right-wing enough to be slightly better than Trump.

The DNC is too invested in their Corporate Pragmatism to realize that the only Corporate Elites backing Biden are doing it so that they have a modicum of morality. They don't mind Trump because Trump will give them everything.

The DNC spent too long slowing down the major Trump prosecutions so that they would happen this year instead of last year to help with the election which has backfired. They didn't have anyone to stand out in the last 4 years, just hoped and prayed that Biden would last.

We have 2 people who aren't fit for office to choose from. 1 is a degenerate compulsive liar and grifter, while the other has lost which century we belong too and keeps having senior moments. One will give us Project 2025 and try to declare himself president for life, while the other will not help the regular people because nobody in the Administration understands that Stock values are not a good economic metric for those who can't afford to invest because food, rent, Healthcare, and gas is too expensive for jobs that haven't had a major pay increase in a decade.

Yes I'll vote Biden, but we shouldn't be forced into this.

I had just finished my range day and I had my guns stripped for cleaning when my step daughter dropped of my son for his weekend visit with her boyfriend.

I wasn't trying to flex or anything, but I did find it funny. Luckily she married a different guy after college.

Yep. Just start burning the bodies of the weak and elderly every week. Then only the strongest survive. ..

Now we just need a "Rat Thing". That will solidify the world into a corporotacracy where the Liberterian ideal of Corporate Profits over everything and no pesky regulations to get in the way of profits.

Bring on the Franchise Wars...

Thanks. I will look up that distro.

Just like SSRI's, Ecstasy does interfere with your hypothalamus and temperature regulation. So, small energy expenditures creat oversized responses.

You would still sweat heavily doing more than lying down with a fan blowing on you.

While reading this, I had a couple of thoughts.

John Brown really wouldn't rest well with this.

Has the time come for a storming of an American Bastille?

All with the song from Les Miserables "Do You Hear the People Sing" going on in my head.

I think the time is coming to finish what the Abolitionists started and fulfill the purpose of the Civil War.

Is that advertising the new Buc-ees in Colorado north of Denver? If so it's worth the drive away from AZ.

So nice that before this happened, the railworkers wanted to strike duets safety concerns and understaffed Railroads. All to keep them from taking days off and lowering profits.

Good old Joe Biden (friend to the working man) denied the strike request because interfering with Christmas shipping would be a problem.

I think the railworkers should have called his bluff and all off the job. Unlike Reagan and the Air Traffic Strike, the military can't just take over those jobs. He couldn't replace the entire unionized jobs like the AIR Force could take over flight operators.

It's really all about having a way to get past encryption so they can spy on everyone indiscriminately. It's pushed that it's to save kids and unmask pedos, but the people in charge know the pedophiles are their rich donors.

It's about controlling opposition and making sure the wealthy can stay on top. Imagine if no small business can hide their information from their competitors.

Sadly Bazzite doesn't work well with Nvidia. But that would have been my choice.

Thanks for the info. I've noticed that having an Nvidia GPU may be my downfall. I would hate to have to switch my 3080 for my son's 6800XT or even have to buy another GPU When I need to switch.

I have spent over 30 years doing IT work, so figuring out another OS won't be too hard since I've worked through almost everything starting in the 90's.

I have an old beat up version holding my Networking gear on Top with my NAS on the bottom. Those old Telephone tables are pretty useful once the home phone has disappeared.

In the US, there are multiple Supreme Court precedent cases that force profit-maximizing. Shareholders can sue the CEO and board to maximize profit seeking.

So yes, increasing shareholder value is enshrined in US law. Only private corporations can get around that rule. Also, a corporation cannot be forced to break the law to maximize profits, that's just something most CEO's are willing to do for fun.

It's really not that bad as long as you don't drink unpasteurized milk. Chicken farms are where the problem will come from. Pasteurization still works. People need to stop listening to YouTube influencers who promote Raw milk.

Starship Troopers

This is just horrible. Destroying environments for Silicon Valley to waste more electricity for AI is just bonkers to me. Joshua Trees are such an iconic plant that won't expand means that there will just be a lot of extra dust lowering the solar energy output.

Plus, I really despite bis businesses that promise to protect the environment in other places if you allow them to destroy the environment. It's still considered a net loss, but increasing wealth to equity firms is all that matters.
