That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

NYT should cover: “police kidnap de blasio’s daughter and issue veiled threat demanding mayor authorize specific tactics” Or NYPD "Adams's protective detail kidnapped an Italian crypto investor and brought him to gangsters who sexually tortured him for his password" "forced him to smoke crack" Or:

I used to think Thatcher was far-right when Argentina invaded the Falklands. But Netanyahu? He'd still be bombing the fuck out of Argentina today. 🤬 Good luck to everyone except Bibi in the Israeli elections.

If someone had proposed this ten years ago you would have assumed they belonged on a registry. You would have been correct.

Trump’s presidency is a wealth transfer from the bottom to the top

i don't really think it is an issue of "becoming". george washington was a rapist. slavery as an institution was about rape. rape has been used by american troops in every war and is inflicted on the areas surrounding every foreign base.
