I imagine the answer is the same as to why we lack all of the other good things too: Rich people only care about themselves.

They all should have sold them back after the first Nazi salute, and made it abundantly clear why they were doing so, if you ask me.

I disagree 100%.

If you’re an American, in this health care system, you’ve got to be minding your health as much as possible. It can get much, much, much worse.

I’m always a few years behind on consoles and enjoy the robust secondary market, so to me, it doesn’t matter much.

Outside of Zelda and Mario Kart, there isn’t much these days that’s exclusive to Nintendo that I give a damn about anyway.

I just like Lemmy more.

Don’t blame him for what happened before he had total control.

Don’t expect me to ignore 40+ years of history on the basis of mere promises, when broken Democratic promises paved the road to the fascism we’re having to fight today. Frankly, it’s unreasonable, and no one should expect Democrats to do what they say they’re going to do until they demonstrate it.

I will believe it matters when I see it, and I’m doubtful 40+ years of masquerading as progressives and ruling as conservatives is going to change anytime soon.

I don’t know that there’s a ‘we’ here, as the billionaires run the Democratic Party too and have sued for the privilege of holding undemocratic primaries.

With that said, the SHTA precipitating the historic Senate loss isn’t the only historical pattern working against Trump in 2026.

Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden all entered office with control of Congress and lost control at the mid-terms, so it’s highly likely that will happen again.

It doesn’t matter. One thing the voters agreed upon resoundingly in 2024 was that a non-functioning brain is a-okay.

Reminds me of how his administration stopped reporting on COVID testing. Obviously if you suck at something, you should just not tell anyone, even if it affects the entire American constituency in a massively dangerous way.

It had one on the secondary market. 🤟

I’m always 2-3 years behind on new consoles for this very reason.

Yeah, and John Codman was quite a motherfucker.

You’re welcome!

I had a long drive back from Texas yesterday and heard a podcast on the story of Mark Codman, and felt compelled to share it as this was never part of the Paul Revere story that I was taught in school, and I imagine it’s because of the general whitewashing of slavery in the public school curriculum.

Maybe some of you have never heard of him either.

Ours is a nation of puritanical hypocrites.

This is why all pets never die, but instead, ascend to godhood.

I think “You’re a fucking liar”.

Perhaps they didn’t word it eloquently, but they’re not wrong.

The elderly are the wealthiest and that affords them tremendous political power, seeing as how young people can’t afford to miss a day of work to vote.

Yes, unequivocally.
