I would only argue against that definition in saying it is a bit dated. It is not the modern definition of the term.

How to get ahead in politics: Be a genuinely decent human being.

If only all of the other scumbags in politics didn’t make it so hard.

here i am in the US and i have no idea how the US fits the defintion. A high standard of living is an important part of the definition and when only about 10-20% of the population fits into that bubble, I’m not sure if the definitions fits.

i haven’t switched off a race in at least 5 years. But I turned that shit off so fast when they said verstappen wasn’t getting a penalty for that crap. I don’t think I can continue to watch this utter horse shit.

the US is 1st world?

such bullshit. Verstappen was basically playing bumper cars forcing people off the track at the start of the race and he gets nothing.

unfortunately the left has no idea how to unite. We get caught up on too many different issues to actually come together and be pragmatic.

I’m actually really concerned that the left might not even understand what the word pragmatic means.

Fashion??? In this economy?!

frankly, im not sure what point this stupid meme is trying to make.

I stopped paying taxes on the last tax day. My wife and I cheated our asses off on our taxes and I changed my business around to make my money much harder to track. I’ve also gotten very good at creating charitable donations and keeping records. My wife, unfortunately, works for the state gov, so its a lot harder to hide her money, but we do our best to pay as little as possible through use of charitable donations, depreciation of assets, and a host of other tricks. I doubt she’ll spend more than 5k in taxes this year. A huge decrease from what she spent last year. I will be paying nothing because, to the government, I appear unemployed.

If even roughly 30% of US taxpayers did this, it would absolutely cripple the federal government. They would not be able to fund their gestapo, they would be forced to make concessions and the executive administration would lose a ton of power. This is the way to bring down Trump. Not violent revolution – legitimate looking tax trickery. The IRS doesn’t have the staff to deal with it and with them receiving less and less money it would just be a downward spiral of helplessness for them.

how about he just gets rid of the stupid fucking tariffs that have basically embargoed his own country.

If only he wasn’t putin’s bitch.

the coup has already happened. He controls every branch of government and most of the courts. Its fucking done.

We need to stop paying taxes.

yes.

assuming we will have fair elections in 2028 is pretty wild.

she would get fucking destroyed in fair election against AOC.

there are a couple in my neighborhood i’ve been thinking about giving some paint job modifications.

i’m confused

he seems like a moron if he thinks republicans are going to “tackle big tech abuses” before democrats will.

the fascists are winning
