My partner is T1D. When I see stories like this pop up, I am hopeful, but I generally don’t share them with her because these revolutionary discoveries are always “x years away.” This sounds amazing and if it works as well as it sounds here, it would absolutely change lives.
For me the “coming out of dark ages” happened when freestyle libres came out and you didn’t have to stab your fingers all time. Oh what a glorious time that was. Hope to live long enough to maybe see fruits of this labours too.
Trump was manipulated into attacking Adelson by another donor, Ike Perlmutter, who “had hoped in vain that Mrs. Adelson would contribute to a rival super PAC that he backs.”
It’s like narcissistic parents trying to undermine each other by manipulating their child.
That’s why all of them are fucked after Trump dies. They all hate each other, they’re constantly backstabbing each other. They have nothing after he’s gone. No one to rally around.
This is where you’re* wrong. There will always be greed for money and lust for control. Soon as orange shit stain absconds from earth, there will be another to fill the void. *Edit spelling
Rock and roll existed independently of Elvis. The Cult of Trump doesn’t exist without Trump. When he dies, they’ll all scramble for that power. They’re already fighting each other for a scrap of attention from daddy trump
And the cult of trump existed before under various names Tea Party, the alt right, etc. but if that’s the fairy tale you wanna believe. Whatever keeps you warm at night pal.
Trump was able to gather the hordes of weirdos in a way none of those other movements could. For whatever reason, he was an exceptionally powerful populist, and the other craven greed monsters want that power bad. It’s been shown that that magic doesn’t run off on them though and it seems to be flaking off trump very quickly these days.
There will always be another eventually, but it can’t be denied that Trump’s star is falling, and the Republicans have no one able to gather the hordes like trump could at the moment. If they lose their ass in November, it’s very possible that it takes them quite a while to regroup in any real way. Their penchant for infighting will slow things down.
I don’t agree with you. No one will immediately fill his shoes. All the dip shits who are lined up to try are already proven failures that can’t gather the base enough. They will flounder for quite some time if they can’t manage to steal the election. Saying evil will rise again eventually is basically saying air exists. No shit the fight never ends, but it’s not nearly as hopeless as you posit.
I’m not hopeless foo, I’m just not filled with a childlike naivety. You must remain ever vigilant against dark forces. You think the clowns performing this circus act are in control? An illusion. While Bobmighty is out performing tricks.
There will definitely be someone trying to take his place.
But I’m old enough to remember the last 7 republican presidents and presidential nominees. None of them were like Trump.
They weren’t convicted felons, or impeached twice, or telling bold provably false lies daily. They didn’t double down on their lies when called out on it.
Some of them couldn’t find a coherent sentence without two hands and a flashlight but went on to be elected for two terms, while still managing not to recommend injecting bleach as a treatment for any medical condition.
Trump has something no Republican candidate in my lifetime (and probably ever) has, blind loyalty in the face of utterly ridiculous behaviour.
Just because they have been progressively worse. Fool me once and I won’t get fooled again. Have a read thru memory lane www.ranker.com/list/…/notable-quotables
They even called them Bushisms for crying out loud. Plus you got to remember they didn’t run their mouths on the Internet 24/7.
I think it depends on if he somehow becomes president or not.
If he doesnt, maga will die with him. If he does, all the rules will have been changed and all he needs to do is appoint next in line. Even if people don’t agree with the person he appoints, or the party tries to put someone else in their place, it will be too late.
I hope you’re right. But I fear there will instead be some power vacuum, which will be filled with someone much smarter and maybe even more evil than Trump. Such a person will have been watching this shit show and paying attention to how easy it is to manipulate these idiots.
I look forward to the inevitable election results showing ~50% of the population thinks someone this careless, nay reckless, is appropriate for the role of legislator.
yeah the use broken into when the car was unlocked seems a bit misleading. I mean no one should go into someones care when its unlocked but man you have a firearm in there or important work documents and you have a responsibility to lock that shit up.
You should get kicked off the force for this level of incompetence. Instead, you get docked vacay days and later run for office.
Edit:
“The incident speaks for itself,” New York Democratic Chair Jay Jacobs said in an interview. “It’s great to have a lot to say [about crime], but when you make mistakes like that and are sloppy like that it speaks volumes for the seriousness that you take your job. I would just say it’s certainly not something that helps her argument.”
yeah it’s not the “fuck everyone else let’s subsidize billionaires and crude oil some more” party that has anything to do with it; it’s definitely the “i think genocide is bad” crowd.
I think that you can think genocide is bad and when given a choice between two viable candidates pick the one that is less likely to double down on genocide. But hey, that’s just someone who has seen third parties in the US never quite achieve what they say they’re doing EVERY election.
never argued for third party candidates; you can check my history. but blaming this bullshit on people who do rather than the party that actively and proudly wants it is also a bit single minded.
it’s one thing to argue not voting or voting third party is the same as voting for republicans (which i always argue that it is) but seeing news like this shouldn’t make your first thought “this is because of third party voters”.
no, it’s republicans first. and democrats second, by the way. depressing voter turnout is something they have done for as long as I’ve been aware of us politics, probably more. it’s their job to turn non-voters into democratic voters, not the republicans’ job.
yet time and time again their best argument has always been “look at these cunts, we promise we’ll be at least 10% better”. that’s dumb. they banked on this message with Hillary and everyone paid for it.
this is one of those rare instances where they haven’t been as patronizing and dismissive of their base. they’ve actually listened, and convinced biden to drop out, and harris picked the VP candidate favored by the voters rather than making cynically strategic plays. i hope they win and learn a lesson from this.
During the Eurovision songfestival Joost Klein was seated next to israel for interviews, where he wrapped himself in the Dutch flag. A journalist asked Eden Golan if she felt she was endangering other contestants by being there. Her sidekick said she did not have to answer that question to which Joost suddenly said “Why not”.
I don't comment in the majority of your posts on Israel / Gaza.
I only come across Israel / Gaza posts from you. It's possible you post about other things in magazines (communities) I don't subscribe to. I just looked at a couple of your meme posts. They were also about Israel.
Gitmo is currently full and will only have place once the current torturees have pleaded guilty. That will probably take at least an other month of water boarding.

Those same promotional materials he claimed told him to “jump in” show people walking around ankle deep. It’s clearly ankle deep… or he assumed they used models with Jesus like powers.
But it also is surrounded by things like a diving board…
I saw the pit, and everything about the experience stronngly suggests its deep enough to jump into. I thought it sounded stupid too until i saw the ball pit.
If, and only if, he was the only person there with nobody else in the “pool” then maybe he could think that. But if anyone else was already in the pool walking around ankle deep, then it’s on him.
