A movie starring Lenardo Dicaprio that is getting critical praise due to the politics of the film rather than the actual merit of the film... Where have I seen this one before?



And just like Don't Look Up this film will become completely forgotten after failing to leave a permanent mark on culture.

I talk with them on a daily basis. The white collar ones are great, respectful and mostly polite. Ghetto blacks are scum of the Earth and should be treated as such.

I'm glad some people have a friend/enemy or black/nigger distinction in their heads. Thank you.

The Democrats can make this end at any time.

Saying Obama got the NPP for doing nothing isn't accurate. Obama was awarded the NPP for saying he was going to end the war in Afghanistan. On the same day he received the award, he ordered a surge of 30,000 US troops into Afghanistan.

It was worse than "doing nothing." He expanded the war and went on to bomb 7 additional countries. He dropped so many bombs that we literally ran out. He was such an overwhelming warmonger that he made the Bush dynasty look like pacifists.

Amberlynn is crying on livestream right now, friends.

What is she crying about?

Speaking of the shutdown:

You don't exactly have the best track record of predicting when the shutdown will end considering you posted this last Sunday

Also, a as reminder, the government will open back up tomorrow.

This is posturing by a number of parties ahead of the 4th CCP Plenum which starts on Oct 20th.

Seeing Xi get overthrown would be insane. Where are you getting your info for this?

I can buy gas at two different prices with a 40 cents split about five minutes apart. It's like they drew a line and everything west is one price, east is another. In the past the cheaper station was cheaper by like 3-5 cents. I have no idea what's going on here.

Around me, gas is 20-40 cents per gallon (5-11 cents per liter) more in areas that are seen as affluent or in areas that hate gas-powered anything. Conversely, gas can run sub-$3 in urban areas that probably aren't safe to stop and refuel in. What makes less sense is the station in my area going opposite the trend in the statewide average. One day, I pulled in to fill up as the price dropped 17 cents before I even stopped at the pump. Go figure

All i’m asking for is good worksmanship. I love Made in America, but how come we can’t get anything that isn’t made in fucking Mexico or China??

Companies want to produce goods on the cheap and have maximum markups and profits to keep the stockholders happy.

For the longest time, I had heavy duty nail clippers made in Pakistan from who knows how long ago. When they recently broke, the only replacement options were Chinesium-made. As long as China has a stronghold on cheap production, they will continue to hold a virtual monopoly on global manufacturing.

Depends on who's being blamed whether it's a good look or not.

Prepare for a slew of “America refuses to feed its soldiers!”

The repubs will have to take the blame here. I believe a house dem wanted to vote on funding for the military specifically today? Johnson cancelled the vote and sent everyone home.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

What is she crying about?

How lonely she is and how mean her exes are and how awful people are and she just can't and she just wants a relationship so bad and FUCK YOU I WILL CANCEL SUBS AND NEVER DO A LIVE AGAIN YOU STUPID BITCH.

The usual.

Well now it will be six.

 

[Sensitive Young Man]

Hearing from a Chinese friend that Xi had a stroke. Probably bullshit but who knows

It's a propaganda battle. As long as the GOP make the best case to their base and to the moderate middle, they should be fine. The Dems are staging this whole shutdown for the sake of their own base.

The middle east is kind of like that Jetsons meets the Flintstones theory where the Jetsons actually time travelled into the near future after a society destroying war happened and not the distant past but like in all but talking dinosaurs and hover cars.
