    His use of “playing Russian Roulette” is a bit on the nose. It’s also indicative of the narcissistic “family annihilators” who choose to kill everyone, including themselves. People like Barr, Trump et al would rather destroy a country rather than provide for basic human needs for all of its constituents. They’re GHOULS.

    Hey friends, does anyone know what either of these objects are?
    (They were found in a deceased relative's jewelry box.)
    Please boost for added eyes, thanks! 😊

    The lettering on the object on the left says:
    Hadley Made in USA
    Both ends open up to 90⁰ and the main body expands and contracts about a centimetre.

    A clever person has said that the object in the right is a Writescope telescoping mechanical pencil. Thanks!

    The new Atlas robot from Boston Dynamics. The first generation used awkward hydraulics to control the body parts. This is now all electric. Just mechanically speaking, these machines will soon be far superior to humans for most physical tasks.

    Trump keeps recycling this “argument” again and again without ever apparently realizing he’s saying that Joe Biden could throw him into a deep dark dungeon and keep him there and Trump would have no escape.

    It’s another case of: either Trump’s that dumb or he thinks all his marks are that dumb.

    Trump 100% believes that he doesn’t belong there. Cut from the same cloth as Leona “Taxes are for the little people” Helmsley & to a lesser extent George H.W. “Wow that’s a barcode scanner!?” Bush, this echelon of wealth hoarders is so insulated by their coterie that they believe their own hype: they’re above all the rest of us. See also: Musk, Bezos et al. It’s a dangerous aspect of wealth inequality that will lead to our downfall as a species if we don’t get our shit together.

    mckra1g,
    @mckra1g@mastodon.social avatar

    @GottaLaff in that particular instance, hoarding doesn’t apply, as he willingly pays the taxes in accordance with his wealth.

    @Green_Footballs he’s a black hole with a bad combover. Everything he wants and needs to prop up his ego gets sucked into his coffers. Like every other tyrant, he’ll fall, but the collateral damage from his descent will be significant.

    Just got a fraud alert text from Chase. “MCAFEE” charged $0.11 to my credit card. It was probably some sort of trial balloon transaction to see if I would flag it before the spammers racked up a bunch of charges.

    This sort of theft is financial vandalism that we all pay for. It pisses me off.

    @GottaLaff he is furious at being treated like a civilian/a regular citizen. In his mind, rules don’t apply to him, so to be held accountable is maddening. He won’t be able to control himself.

    Good. I want to watch him meltdown in real time.
