If you don’t give me what I want, I’ll make the American people pay me more to buy your stuff.

OK.

Trump is willing to resort to force and violence to get the things he wants. I wonder why he was friends with Jeffrey Epstien.

Obviously Jississippi.

By the time I was old enough to really appreciate Dilbert, Scott Adam’s was far enough removed from the American office that it was no longer funny.

The US needs Greenland to defend it from Russia and China.

Greenland is in NATO, allowing the US to defend it from Russia and China.

It is very hard to feel pity for people who only feel pity for themselves, and never for others.

Yeah, but if you rename Greenland to Epstien Island, suddenly the US has never been there, is uninterested in it, and doesn’t have any knowledge of it. On the other hand they might just react it entirely.

We can and will do so much worse.

Yes.

Better question, how much body hair is required before shampoo becomes the default for everywhere?

The left is exhausted. Democratic leadership is uninterested in fighting, and the electorate is angry, but has been angry for so long they’re disconnecting to stay sane.

I don’t know. It depends on how you classify informed. I’d bet they, on average, spend more time glued to a “news” source, so they’re being informed, 24/7, just not with truth.

I think it’s worth it. It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some bird deaths every single year so that we can have cats. That’s a prudent deal. It is rational.

Facts are facts, I guess.

Not really what you’re asking, but Lego: The Hobbit.

My wife and I used to love playing Lego games after a couple drinks. Being a bit drunk makes them very fun.

But with that one, Smaug flies out to go burn Laketown, and the credits roll. Apparently, the 3rd movie did so badly that they decided not to finish the game and just released it as is. It’s missing 1/3 of the game.

Yeah, if the cost of seeing a movie for my family of 4 is $80, if instead of going to the movies I take that and save for a TV, staying at home 4-5 times gets me a 75 inch 4K TV.

If I’m going to watch some unimaginative retread of an established IP, I’d rather do it on my couch, drinking a beer, and eating my own popcorn.

Because Maduro was a pariah, same as Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein. Obviously, it’s not about liberating the Venezuelan people. The US isn’t even pretending this time. It’s about oil and getting rich.

If you shoot a rat with a shotgun, yeah, maybe don’t do that, but thanks for killing the rat. If you shoot a dog with a shotgun, that’s pretty monstrous. As long as Trump takes out the worst folks, he’ll get away with it.

Cool that Maduro is out of power.

Less cool that we’ve set a precedent for using the military to abduct world leaders.

Very uncool that some Republican sycophant is going to be military governor of Venezuela.

Most people I talk to like this, in the analogy, used to be firefighters, but realized for every fire they put out, some literal idiot lights 3 more, and to them, they end up feeling like they’re the only one who cares. Pun intended, but they’re literally burnt out.

Not on any dating apps, but people I know who describe themselves as non-political are just so sick of it they can’t bear to talk about it anymore, which I totally get. Especially since any good discussion always ends up ruined by someone who’s very “political” but only gets their news from Facebook or something worse.

Chinese government controls Chinese companies. American companies control American government.

Maybe the problem is that young people are getting their news about the genocide in Palestine Epstien Files from TikTok?
