    Could be worse, like in Poland, where the son of main editor of Capital (Ozjasz Szechter) became the most influental and successful anticommunist propagandist and the leading lib of entire country and is still at it, for 56 years, which is longer than socialism existed in Poland (Adam Michnik).

    Day after yet another massive train derailment that could have been prevented with just the tiniest bit of regulation which Mayo Pete will not implement

        I mean, he's not wrong that it's uncapitalist to intervene, but damn what a lack of empathy

          it's extremely capitalist to intervene, just not in this sort of direction

    My prediction is they’re going to pick Mark Kelly because he's a relatively safe and likable white guy from a swing state. Buttchug is annoying, unlikable, and has a piss poor record as Transport Secretary. They might also try Whitmer, but I think that's less likely.

    The coconut tree phrasing was a clever way to use/reference the concept of the slur "coconut" and maybe some of you libs should do a bit of research before you add this one to your vernacular. It's one thing between members of a minority group to use it, like "uncle tom" or similar, but if you're white you should probably knock that shit off. I've been seeing this shit all day and it's fucking whack.
