I mean about 10 seconds into his announcement video..... I personally thought it was for the republican candidate.....

Thanks Obama.

I'm guessing if a rocket exploded over the freeway and Harris was President, we probably would still be hearing about it......

I personally think it's alarming the exponential acceleration of acceptance of wild stories that get a few hours of outrage and then fade into normalcy....

Remember how we now are going to have a foreign country, widely acknowledged to be linked to 9/11, have a military base on American soil?

I did unscientific research and came to the conclusion that 84% of people are just downright sh¡tty.

Once you start to see the world(especially America) through that lens, things start to make a lot more sense.

In a normal society we'd talk about how everything is "fight" with them....

It's wild how this 'messaging' is just an outright admission that men simply can not grow, adapt, change for the better.

Society must continually be held back so that their little feelings don't get hurt when you call them out for something THEY LITERALLY HAD TATTOOED ON THEIR BODY.

It's AMAZING how society just accepts 'cost benefit analysis' as a measure for protecting children......

But then will overturn an entire country because they perceive all children will be harmed if one trans kid plays a sport.

Same. It was the most pleasantly surprising place I've visited so far.

Came here to say Pittsburgh. Then realized it's not art museums specifically, but children's and Fred Roger's and weird stuff too.

I like how vast swaths of this country have no idea how great things would be right now...... if voting for those two scary ladies wasn't so scary.

Man...... these free speech absolutists sure are upset about people expressing free speech.

Weird the most hypocritical people to ever live are being hypocritical. Just weird.

I love how every "gotcha libs" is just an admission of guilt.....

California: We're banning animal cruelty!

iowa: You can take our animal cruelty from our cold dead hands!

It's too bad there isn't some kind of trusted agency that dispenses science based guidance

You asked what were the good points. I was just making a joke that to her the fact they agreed was what made them good points. Back when there was universal acceptance of reality this joke would have hit a lot harder.

I do not follow @volts.wtf but it's by far the most re-skeeted account across all the accounts I have on my favorites list(the one I actually see each day).

Half the time it's people pointing out how wrong they are and half the time it's people who think it's a valid point......
