Well nobody apologizes for billionaires like thousandairs, so it's an uphill battle.

Maybe we should just start calling for a progressive tax to keep idiots like this quiet.

Kemp is a great governor. Yeah he’s Red but he’s not MAGA.

Completely offtopic but I did not expect a CART reference when I opened this thread lmfao.

IndyCar has felt juiceless the last few years not gonna lie. Need more ovals smh.

CART in the 80s and early 90s was EPIC! I mean, Mansell won the World Championship in 1992, then left F1, came here and instantly won the CART title and 2 more.

If you like those races, I implore you to look up the book Beast. It was about the one year only Ilmor-Penske engine that was so dominant they banned it (they found loopholes to run it) here's the link.

I miss those 80s and 90s races. So freaking good.

It's a shame it's not as simple as running up on these dudes castles and taking it all anymore.

Nah, we can do it. It won't be long. "Tax the rich" is the "shucky darns" to the reality of what most of us are thinking and what will actually happen eventually.

The wildest thing is they’re stealing from taxpayers in broad daylight in 2026, and the victims - us - are just choosing to look the other way.

I don’t know how people can defend a system that allows representatives to be held accountable only at the ballot box (every 2/6 years). No other serious democracy works like that…

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket…

April jobs report: Economy adds 115,000 jobs, far better than expected

No one is believing this. Surprised it’s still being reported.

It weird because construction is somewhat busy here again.

I just chalk it up to mn having a better economy than most I guess

Funny because these dudes look exactly like everyone thought they looked

I disagree Red is MAGA its what their base has always been and "classic" republicans like Kemp benefit from that.

Kemp is smart enough to do things to make himself look good and sensible. But he's fully committed to the republican regressionist cause which lead to and fostered MAGA in the first place and has governed as such.

Trump and MAGA have washed the reputation of republicans like Kemp, Romney, bush, McCain, etc like republicans like them didnt create the environment for MAGA in this first place.

Virginia Supreme Court Struck down the redistricting. Ugh

 

[mplsdunk]

They cater to locals, don’t blame them

In regard to the club in cdmx, also look at Vegas before anyone clutches pearls.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Hate people can’t see through that ********.

Man is having everyone he gave a bottle polygraphed. It’s getting worse and worse for him. Don’t see him making it to the midterms.

The same way with dumb*** Trump; presentation and having traits (mostly negative which some just think are opinionated) that appeal to the average person (the vulnerable are easily manipulated).

 

[aepps20]

Local elections and local participation matters. The VA SC legit ignored the plain text of their own constitution in the redistricting but there is no reason for VA to have a Republican SC but that is what happens when you don’t vote and vote in every election. Look at Wisconsin now.
