Brewers World Series victory has evidently closed the portal to Hell opened by the Cubs 2016 title. Our long national nightmare is over

Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

the leftist position is that people’s positions, even if horrific, have roots in their material reality. the liberal position as best i can tell is that 20-30% of the country has an irredeemably evil soul. i guess im going with the one you could actually do something about.

Why is this race close - let alone one that Trump may well win? Look no further than trends in downward social mobility. Democrats must listen, learn, and develop policies to raise the foundation for all and restore the American Dream. nytimes.com/interactive/2024…

Please let this be true today: “There was always just enough virtue in this Republic to save it; sometimes none to spare, but still enough to meet the emergency.” —William Seward, Secretary of State during the civil war.

To be clear: this is Kamala Harris saying she will disregard US & international law by sending weapons to a government committing human rights violations
Kamala Harris says "far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed," but that she would *not* change policy on withholding even "some" US weapons to Israel.

My great grandfather was a door to door phone salesman for AT&T who went into foreclosure in the Great Depression and was banned from owning property because anything they owned would be seized. After WWII in Philadelphia there was an effort to literally ‘clear the books’ and get rid of old foreclosures. He went to city hall and they literally crossed his name off the list in front of him. That saved his and now my family. Public investment is a necessary and valuable part of creating a strong economy. The economic value that my great grandfather, then my grandfather, then my mom, and now me, have provided are far far beyond the cost of wiping out that $10,000 in debt in 1945. Cancelling student loan debt is an investment in the economy and I will not be convinced otherwise
Today, my Administration is canceling student debt for 277,000 more people – bringing the total number of Americans who have been approved for debt relief so far under my Administration to 4.3 million through various actions. I will never stop working to cancel student debt.

New job just offered me $450,000 total compensation but requires me to go to the office 1 day per quarter. Can anyone tell me if this is livable in SF? For context My wife makes $300k and we have 11 purebred golden doodles – at Oakland, CA

Twitter sucks so bad now. I came looking for info about #Hilary and all I'm seeing are a bunch of old vids from other storms claiming to be current vids. Twitter used to be so amazing during a crisis w people reporting in from everywhere. Now its just a tired joke.
