I keep seeing people say that you get WaPost free if you have Amazon Prime. How do you get it for free? I see that you can link accounts and sign in with Amazon, but WaPost keeps redirecting me to buy either the National or the Regional newspaper, for $0.99 and then $9.99 after that.

Pretty cool that, someday in the maybe not so far future, a female journalist will be raped and killed by a Republican congressman, have it caught on audio/film, and then we'll all read how deeply troubled everyone is by it alongside thought pieces about how it was her own fault for dressing that way and asking those questions

Joe Scarborough (allegedly) murdered an intern and left her corpse in his office and the only punishment he got was an eternity of hosting a morning show with Mika Brzezinski.

Well liberals, women, reporters, and especially liberal women reporters all got their rights stripped away in 2021 so she should be honored to have the life lovingly strangled out of her as someone looked into her eyes instead of just methodically slaughtered like the rest of her kind.


Anyways if the Dems were smart they would like quadruple down on the "Actually violence is bad" aspect, but the dems are dems and here we are.

They had to pass that, the helicopters that were previously used for hunting were scaring the hogs away.

Also it is a whole lot better than the warfarin laced poison they were planning on using. The poison came with the requirement that the corpses had to be buried 20 feet underground to prevent it from making it into the food chain.

Investigators are focusing on a series of meetings held by Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and an influential White House adviser, as part of their probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and related matters, according to people familiar with the investigation.

Kushner, who held meetings in December with the Russian ambassador and a banker from Moscow , is being investigated because of the extent and nature of his interactions with the Russians, the people said.

Even better is that the state rep who was told about this by a concerned farmer suggested the solution was to change the poison's warning label.

Ah come on man, don't be so melodramatic. They love compromise, see, the deal is if you're a person of color, or gay, or a woman, then they'll always be willing to have you kill your self in exchange for them taking away all your money and personal belongings. See? Compromise!

They were cool with it up until one conservative group got sick of him and releaked that he had that creepy poo poo in his past. Then suddenly they found their consciences. If it had just been on the downlow and only non-conservatives were calling attention to it there would have been no issues whatsoever.

Cut Bank, MT is a great example of a dying rural town. It had an oil boom a long time ago and by the time my mom was coming of age that industry was already on the decline, and now it's long gone. I remember around ~1990 we were visiting and everyone there was really excited & a little proud because a McDonalds decided to open a shop there. They closed it out due to slow business a handful of years later.

My mom visited there last year and she didn't like to linger on describing how empty and quiet it was because it made her so sad to see the environment of her youth turned into that.

That Hitler quote has been brought up a few times. I think ol' Adolf overhyped himself just a tad. The Interwar period was crazy town and there was nothing inevitable about the Nazis coming to power.

Plus there kinda were a lot of actual Leftists brawling wtih the Rightists. I thought the Nazis got into power because the Conservatives thought they could control him and rein him in.

Although I remember someone posting that German article about how they can temper the Nazis. It did sound eerily similar to some things people said when Trump was elected.
