Mila Kunis/Ashton Kutcher 2024!

let’s get serious here folks

anagramatically
Ginni Thomas = Moaning Shit

actually it took 6 months to repair the bridge. The other 1.5 years they stood around with their dicks in their hands.

Oprah has ditched Oz!

@1 the world is shit so we much never challenge ourselves to overcome the shittiness is quite the self-fulfilling prophecy

Wonderful Slog. Voting has become synonymous with riding the whirlwind. Rationalism has become like the samurai ethic of honor. Dying under the weight of capitalism and raw power. Well done, Sir.

We should all be glad Charles doesn't drive because he would be one of these DUI drivers shutting down traffic for hours. 100.
Instead he gets to live the privileged life of bitching about how other people have to drive to work or take their kids to preschool or whatever awful thing that isn't sitting on their ass pontificating all day.

.

@11 you criticize someone for “sitting around all day and pontificating” but your username is 420blazeit. There’s irony there

What, nearly 100 BILLION dollars in profit annually isn't enough for Amazon that they must stop hiring people to do the work?

@12 cool story
@14 not sure how a username advocating Marijuana is sitting around pontificating all day, but OK

sounds like y'all been drinking with Charles. glug glug.

According to Charles, the only way to be 'rational' is to agree with everything he thinks. Ok, well I'd rather live in a world that is irrational to Charles, while I still have that option. Because, as history demonstrates, for those who inhabit it, a free world that is conservatively moral is objectively better than the "Culte de la Raison" revolting leftists try to sling you, when you aren't buying Marxism.

@1 -- Scandinavia is not a fantasy world. The countries there have been progressive for a very long time (just as the U. S. was progressing after WW II then suddenly stopped and reversed course). They have problems, of course, it is just that they deal with it better than the rest of the world. Their police force is more effective. Their schools are more effective. Their electoral process is more effective. The people are happier, and they are doing a better job at tackling global warming than the rest of the world. If you look at various measures of such things, they keep coming up on top. They are simply taking approaches that are more effective -- that studies show are more effective -- which are the progressive ones.

The folks on the left are not suggesting we institute experimental, untested polices. We are pushing for things that work in other countries. Those on the right are pushing for polices that we know have failed. But as long as they can take advantage of a gullible, provincial population, they will continue to have some success.

@Ross -- BINGO:

"But as long as they
[rwnj] can take advantage of

they will continue to have some success."

is the very best way to keep electing Fools

"US and Brazil take note."

Uh, Charles, Brazil literally just elected a dude that got was thrown in jail on massive political corruption charges. I think we can all agree Bolsonaro is a terrible human being, but Lula isn't the saint people are making him out to be.

@18 Scandinavian countries are also a homogenous population and culture and a shared sense of history. The strategies deployed there will never work here as long as we have the tribalism that is pushed by both political parties.

@18 Ross for the WIN!

The Smiley/Murray race was not that close.
