Yeah, because up until this moment we had no idea that Trump was linked to Epstein.

People are stupid, and unfortunately sometimes political manouvering is a strategic game.

Given the complete lack of consequences for Trump so far, this release timing has a better shot of impacting the elections, thereby having consequences for Trump.

    I would imagine that while they made the buyout eligible pool 60k employees, the actual number that they’d allow to agree would be capped somewhere below that.

    That’s usually how these voluntary severance packages work.

    For some reason I didn’t realize how absolutely destructive this practice is until I saw some videos of it in action, as well as the before and after shots. Absolutely depressing what it does to the oceans.

    Check out Ocean narrated by Sir David Attenborough.

    Interesting that there are several people that simply REFUSE to answer what they would do in this scenario.

    Given the choice of Turek or Hinson, what would you do?

    Don’t give me philosophical what-if scenarios. This is the reality of the ballot box in Iowa.

    Turek or Hinson?

    Another thread where you simply refuse to answer the question. Who are you advocating for? Just come out and say it.

    I’m being clear in my answer. If I lived in Iowa, and my choices were Turek or Hinson, I would vote Turek. Your turn.

    Ok, I’ll answer and see if you can answer too.

    The more seats the Democrats hold across Congress, the better off the entire country will be. There are still 2 more years of a Trump presidency, and if you think this is bad, just watch what would happen if the Republicans hold on to the majority in Congress.

    DSA candidates, at various levels of elected positions nationwide, have shown great surges in popularity. Simply put, more Democrats in Congress, the more options open up to oppose the GOP regressive agenda.

    Now it’s your turn to answer. Who are you advocating for in this race?
