He has said the sickest shit I've ever heard from a presidential candidate, yet, the reporting is easy beyond belief with Trump and media tries to reframe any Harris positive with passive language until it sounds like a problem.

Vanessa Guillen’s sister still voted for Trump. That’s how insane they are

Nobody who is undecided or voting for Trump reads the Atlantic. It's like screaming into the void.

I don't fucking get it. I seriously fail to see how past events have lead us to be so complacent. I just want an answer but I know we won't ever get a good one. A single scandal used to have the power to make an official resign, how the hell have we gotten here?

Only if he loses. Let's make that happen.

I appreciate you bringing this up, but it still boggles my mind that we make any differentiation at all of someone's worth based on where they are born.

I come at it from a Roald Dahl perspective. If someone mainly thinks ugly thoughts, they will seem ugly no matter what they're like, and vice-versa.

Look at Lincoln, imagine he was a long lost twin who sold candy or whatever and suddenly you notice he's actually an ugly dude from central casting. He makes .Willem Dafoe look normal... But the man is widely regarded handsome.

Look at Ben Shapiro, whose conventional good looks do nothing to hide the malignant dogshit apt to emanate from him at any moment. You can tell by looking at him he's about to talk shit.

It's plain that we shouldn't value people on their looks, but if you really see someone, their worth shines through.

It was something like $9k to have my grandfather cremated and a small service for him. The funeral industry is even worse than the wedding industry at taking advantage of your time of emotional turmoil, and because even legally you're kinda limited at what you can do with the body and you're on a time crunch, shopping around isn't exactly easy.

Given that servicemember funerals can be quite elaborate, and I'm sure that number also likely includes a number of other things like death benefits paid to the families, I can totally believe that cost.

They really can. And you should know your rights. The death industry is slimy AF, about on par with timeshares. My late mother-in-law was Lisa Carlson, a pioneer of funeral rights and ethics. If you are going to be dealing with someone's death or planning to die (and you should be prepared), it's important stuff. You don't want to get suckered when you are so emotionally vulnerable, on which the death industry preys. There are a lot of options which the death industry tries very hard to keep hidden from you and lobbies to remove.

The murder made national headlines and there was a public memorial service. Most of us don’t have either of those
