I'm 6'3 225 and I can assure you, I wasnt nearly that fat even when I was pushing 250. If he's actually 6'3 (he isn't) then brody is pushing 270-300 EASY. You can hide a lot of weight on a 6'3 frame, but not that much.

Big talk for someone who also isn't about to throw their life away to take potshots at the local police station.

Government agitators: "God why are leftists such little babies! Oh you're not a little baby? You don't need a nappy? Well prove it! Commit a violent crime at a peaceful protest RIGHT NOW! Yeah, right into that camera. Great. That's perfect. Thank you."

Dude was worth between 100-300 million at his peak. I don't buy for a second that he's broke. It's probably all hidden in crypto or cocaine stashed under the floorboards.

Sorry, that was me.

My bad.

Why don't you mind your own fuckin business?

Their brains should be studied for science. How are they not crushed under the weight of their own contradiction?

He won the popular vote. Step foot outside an urban area and you'll see that his popular support isn't just an illusion.

There's a floor of around 38% of Americans who are going to hold that line to the death. They've lost friends, family, and businesses over their stance already and haven't budged. This has been going on for ten years now. They're in it til the end.

The same broad coalition you didn't join by not voting for kamala? How many millions of people signed up for your mutual aid fund?

You don't represent the masses, you just think you do.

It's his hand. You can find other angles of it in the same article. It seems to me that the ms-13 edited onto his digits is meant to be a translation of the symbology of his tattoos:

Marijuana leaf = M

Smiley face = S

Cross = 1

Skull = 3

Is that an accurate representation of what his tattoos mean? I have no idea, I'm not an expert on gang symbology. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. The presence of a gang tattoo is something that could be submitted as evidence in court - which is a right the accused was never afforded.

What I am sure of, is that trump intentionally presented this information in such a vague manner so as to muddy the waters so he can come back later and claim his claims were misrepresented by the "lying, dishonest media" - which is itself dishonest.

It's an inkblot test. His detractors will take the claim at face value, and his supporters will dig in and claim we're stupid for not immediately taking his claims as gospel. He doesn't care if his claims hold up in court. He only cares about the court of public opinion, and right now, he's defining that conversation.

Not a wild take at all. I'd bet money the guy you're replying to thinks America's evil is unique to it alone.

In reality, evil is just part of the human condition.

Operator error.

It should also be noted that Coeur d'Alene - a town of only 50,000 people - is known primarily for being the Neo-Nazi capital of the PNW. They're also host to quite a few other Christian nationalist groups, to the point that the local GOP is basically beholden to said groups.

Nobody should be surprised when it's revealed in court that these brown shirts have ties to white supremacy.

Just more evidence that trump doesn't understand his own plan and doesn't have what it takes to effect it. His desire to have foreign dignitaries come and kiss the ring outweighs his political conviction that tariffs are the correct way forward.

The only possible way that tariffs work is if investors are confident that the trade barriers will stay in place - not just for the 4 years of this administration, but for the time that you would need to generate a return-on-investment from the factory that they're being incentivized to re-shore in the USA.

By signaling that the tariffs are open to negotiation, he disincentivized those investors from investing in American manufacturing when overseas manufacturing could become re-advantaged depending on the mood and disposition of a tyrant.

For example, nobody is going to build and staff an entire textile mill in Arkansas if it's cheaper (both long and short term) to just buy the product from overseas.

Even if tariffs were sound economic policy (they are not), they require a steady and predictable hand at the wheel to give confidence to the market, which is something that this president (and country seemingly) is incapable of.

Hey, does this Rolex smell like plaque to you?

This is of course after they spent decades consolidating power, wealth and influence with those same IP laws, while snuffing out all smaller competitors.

The speed with which Americas tech CEOs have embraced this new oligarchic system is astounding. It's almost like that was the plan all along. Almost.

The best way to bring manufacturing back to America is to promote labor rights abroad. Instead of dragging other countries industries down with TARRIFS, lift the workers of the world up, so they're no longer undercutting each other in the labor market.

Reward companies in America that make products with union labor, regardless of if those unions are American or not.

Boo this man!

Different enough that you don't mind having shit smeared all around it?

Wow what a bunch of freeloaders!

What has science ever done for me?

I like my smartwatch. I'm extremely ADHD as well as hypoglycemic. I have a lifelong history of not eating, then working/playing/exercising until i get woozy or pass out. I'm a terrible judge of what I actually need to stay functional. Always have been. I'm stubborn and will just try to power through things when I actually can't.

The watch helps me track my sleep/rem cycles and lets me know when I've been neglecting my health. It lets me know when I'm getting stressed and need to take it easy, and it estimates how many calories I've expended on a given day.

The watch and pager functions are nice for reducing screen time when I should be working, but as a health monitor I find it indispensable in keeping me honest with myself.
