You are just not a serious person on here most of the time. There are glimpses when you let your guard down and you actually become a decent poster but most of the time you choose a facade. You know there are not serious people pushing late term abortions. You know the actual wealth distribution charts and how it has changed over the course of our lifetimes where the elites have done extremely well, and the middle class has been hammered and shrunk. And you know the reason for this isn't two cars and flat screens. You jest about open borders, but you know who killed the border bill. Republicans. Because they don't care about the country, more than appealing to their messiah (to borrow from Tahoe Horn). Locally, we see what has been done to our school districts in Texas, and I have shared my experiences on another thread including how we got here with citations when I was trying to understand it more.
When you refer to investing in trash, well what are we supposed to do with it? We need sanitation facilities, and we need environmental protections in order to secure clean air-water-soil for people to live on. And there are missteps. MTBE was great for helping to reduce air pollution emissions, but it came with an expense of being very water soluble and contaminating groundwater supplies. But this is why we need scientists and engineers and serious people in charge and not just some fucking attorney or dipshit rich-guy who lacks any background making uninformed decisions. We need expertise, not people whose qualities are they sweat less on TV, are taller, or have better hair/tits than the next candidate. I really hope the trash you are talking about is not Ukraine. People who were attacked and brutalized without provocation by Trump's friend. Who America has decided to support in their efforts to fight back against violent authoritarian regime. Interestingly enough, every past president of our lifetimes would have supported Ukraine.
Switching gears to another comment: I never doubted Mitt Romney was a decent person who would investigate issues and find solutions rather than come up with solutions first. He would have been the best republican president of my lifetime had he been elected. But remember Romney voted to impeach Trump and the Cult of Trump took issue with it. Y'all ran off Cheney's daughter. Y'all ran off the serious people of your own party. Y'all elected a man whose cabinet of 'the best people' referred to him as a "fucking moron" or otherwise became residents of the penitentiary. Only you can clean your own house.
But this is probably wasted depending on which version of you shows up.
