He is a putrid, lice-ridden tuft of anal pubic hair that’s been transplanted atop a grimy, tattered Egyptian mummy, that’s oft mistaken for a dried-up 6 foot tall, spray-tan colored toilet brush.
He is a neutered, mushroom packing, graceless, gray-bottomed baboon, with all the charm and demeanor of an obese Chihuahua that stares directly into your eyes while dragging it’s butt across the floor.

My Favorite part of Nextdoor is the second the answer is national politics the mods shut down the thread. Wait, no, that's why nextdoor sucks.

The sad thing is that many of us WISH that this were really the scenario and the emotion they share online is regret and shame. But, too often, it's anger and frustration and it's NOT directed at Trump or Republicans. "Why are my taxes going towards giving poor immigrants free houses, rather than staying with me, so I can pay for food and gas and rent?"

Yup, they will blame Biden, Obama, Hillary, Harris, Iran, liberuls, immigrants, transgenders- literally ANYONE else -before they admit their Golden Idol is in the wrong, and by extension, they were in the wrong for voting for all of this.

Of course, it is only that high is cuz AI companies are passing around the same $100B and claiming it as income and GDP.

I mean, that's literally how gdp works. There aren't that many dollars in the world. It's the same dollars getting passed around over and over. Gdp just counts all the times any dollar was handed off.

Same.... let's be honest tho, the stock market is the most overvalued it has ever been (see the Buffett Indicator, which is currently at 230% of GDP).... I do not have any of my retirement in US stocks since I expect them to collapse once people realize there is no one willing to pay to use AI

Don’t worry. A lot of this valuation is also juiced by about a trillion$ in stock buybacks in 2025 alone All those tax breaks and record profits being used to manipulate stock prices to further enrich the executive class. Isn’t capitalism wonderful.

One near me of this brand had a green dinosaur statue out front too. It's been sold at least twice since then and is no longer the Sinclair brand with the dino logo, but they've all kept the dino statue outside.

Yes, up here in Canada the gas companies have been gnashing their teeth waiting for an excuse ever since Carney cut the carbon tax to gouge again.

Curiously, the blatantly pro-Israel PostMedia newspapers are not screaming their usual blue hell about gas prices increasing by 30% overnight.

Their spin is this is just something we gotta tighten our belt and not whine about.

This is what I do. I play confused. Uninformed. Explain it to me. Then I get to say things like “those words all have meanings, but they mean nothing in that order”, or “man, that’s a whole lot of words that don’t actually mean anything”.

Ours has been as low as $2.19 and I actually paid $1.99 a couple of months ago with my grocery store fuel points (30 cents/gal).

1 week ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

But gasoline here probably has been around $2.29-$2.89 the past year or so. I don't keep track. just memory and I don't recall having had gasoline price shock in a while.

My only issue is that there is no way to prove these were one month apart. But gas prices on average have gone up almost $1 since the SOTU address.

A way to prove they were taken when they were? Because there isn't anything besides someone putting words over the photo. It's not as if that sign literally says the date.

So humor needs factual verification they are 100% true?

I need to go back and look at all the jokes about submarines with screen doors then. They are obviously not verifiable, I didn't even have a photo.

My comment wasn't about the humor. It was about portraying something without all the facts. All I did was then clarify that in a shorter amount of time it had gone up $1....because this is even reported on news sites. And clearly you need to lighten up yourself if you are getting so mad at a simple comment.

I'm mad because I read the tags on the post...compared to you telling how it cant be factually verified?
