True, true.

The midterms are still 18 months away. 18 months before the last election, Republicans were still bickering over who they wanted their speaker to be and obviously they won that last one so anything is possible.

I’m surprised that Sanders is older than both Trump and Biden but retains about twice as much virility as either of them and about four times as much sanity as Trump

I don’t think a BRICS currency will be successful in replacing the dollar unless the governments of the participating countries force their businesses to use it. The reason why transactions are denominated and settled in US dollars is because of the perceived stability of its value and the openness of the US financial system to international trade. People use the US dollar because they trust the American government to not excessively devalue it and for it to be reliably useful later on.

And yes, I recognise that all of these are under attack by the current US government.

It’s extremely frustrating to see this guy dropping one truth bomb after another just to have nobody listen to him. I wish Sanders was younger.

Edit: It’s really sad, now that I think of it. Here is a man who has devoted his entire life to the betterment of his country. And here he still is, in his eighties, continuing to fight to prevent the rights and liberties that he in his twenties fought to create from being undone. If there was any justice in this world, he should have just now wrapped up his term as President of the United States and be enjoying the few years he has left on this earth in peace after having passed the torch to the next generation of Democratic leaders. Bernie Sanders, a true patriot and devoted warrior for the working class to the very end.

This is basically why Democratic politicians are less popular than Republican ones. A Republican president will be liked by 90%+ of his party and nearly no Democrats. A Democratic president is liked by half of his party and called a genocide supporter by the other half, and supported by nearly no Republicans.

Obviously it is. But not all insurrections are wrong.

Committing an insurrection because you lost an election is far less laudable than committing insurrection against an increasingly fascist dictatorship.

Twitter is not as addicting as TikTok is. Using Twitter doesn’t form psychological dependence to nearly the scale that TikTok does. This is like comparing a ban against soda versus a ban against cigarettes. If soda is banned then a large number of previous soda-drinkers will just quit drinking soda. If cigarettes are banned, it’s not as likely that cigarette-smokers will suddenly decide to quit as a result. Granted, nicotine is known to be one of the most chemically addicting substances to mankind, but I think the comparison is still appropriate.

So it seems everyone’s rushing to bribe the new president

Technically, most smartphones in the world already run Linux because Android uses the Linux kernel

(I know that’s not really what you mean, I’m just being cheeky here)

Sure, it’s interesting, but maybe people like to talk about something else? Not every conversation about someone needs to be about the top most notorious thing about them.

That being said…

Student loans are collected by contracted third-party loan servicing organisations, not the Government.

If you don’t pay, the servicer can initiate legal proceedings against you on their own regardless of what’s happening within the Education Department.
