Epstein showed me photos of Trump with topless young women sitting in his lap, claims author
  • Well, I'll just add that even if this is true it will sway nobody.

    Trump is a rapist caught on tape bragging about how easy it is to assault women. Very few Trump supporters are unaware of this fact and yet that are still Trump supporters.

    That he's assaulted women simply isn't newsworthy for his fascist followers. He's hurting the right people and that's all that matters to them.

    Sadly, about the only thing he could do to lose support would be to insult his followers or the USA. They'll forgive him for pretty much anything else, including rape and murder.

  • Problems
  • It's not terrible, but it's also not great. Fruit trees by their nature produce just mountains of fruit for a single tree. I came from a large farming family and we had a few fruit trees. So much of it ends up on the ground and rotting (which, not so bad since it was in a field, a nightmare if it were in the suburbs).

    If you really want one, you NEED to maintain the tree. That means cutting branches to make sure the tree doesn't grow up and instead grows out. It also means constant maintenance to make sure branches aren't overloaded (growing out means they have a higher risk of breaking).

    Regular trees are already a PITA to take properly maintain, fruit trees are another level.

    And even with all that, you'll still end up with a bunch of rotting fruit on the ground. Birds, insects, etc will nibble at your fruits. You'll simply miss the 50 fruit the ripened early or late. It's just going to be a headache no matter what you do.

    And it's a lot of fruit. 1 tree can easily make enough fruit for 20 people. That comes in all at once.

  • Capitalism rule
  • What actually raises the price of milk is the farmer uses his profits to buy up other local dairy farms consolidating their position in the market. They then sign exclusivity deals with both grocers and further milk processors (who are also consolidating) to prevent competing in the market, driving their competitors to either sell for cheap or go out of business. https://theconversation.com/americas-dairy-farms-are-disappearing-down-95-since-the-1970s-milk-price-rules-are-one-reason-why-237439#:~:text=Across the country%2C the dairy,per farm – has been rising.

    Because "farm Inc" has a massive horde of wealth, they can stamp out competition by either buying them out, cutting them out, or driving them out of business with prices a small farmer can't handle. After that, they get to set and raise prices at will with the now smaller pool of big name "farm Inc".

    This literally happens every time a market is poorly regulated and businesses allowed to grow too big. It's the natural end state of capitalism.

  • McConnell: Democrats would end the filibuster if they sweep on Election Day "I don’t think they’re kidding. I think they’ll do it"
  • The real problem with the filibuster, in my opinion, is it shields senators from taking a public position. The most extreme senator from Idaho can filibuster the "feed the children" act which prevents a senator from Georgia from having to vote no.

  • Empires fall
  • Yup, they deliberately ran it into the ground. They took out loans against Kmart to buy Sears and sold Sears and Kmart properties off to give themselves money via stock buybacks.

    And what's worse, because it worked, you can see similar actions happening to other major retail outlets. Target, in particular, seems to be following directly in the footsteps of Kmart.

  • CNN's Tapper, Bash Urged to Apologize for 'Reprehensible' Lies About Rashida Tlaib
  • It's racist.

    They are literally only doing this because it's protests for Palestinians. When you put negative attributes on an entire group of people based solely on their race, we call that racism.

    These CNN bigots are every bit as bad as the lynch mobs killing black people because a white woman said they raped her.

  • Cities these days
  • In my state (Idaho) it's because a good number of the legislators are landlords.

    They don't give a fuck that half their apartments are Airbnbs, they prefer it that way.

  • PSA: Don't just eat peanut butter
  • It'll sound counter intuitive, but one way to avoid problems with oxalates is to consume calcium rich foods with oxalate high foods. For example, a glass of milk (soy milk counts) with a PB&J.

    The reason this works is the calcium binds with the oxalate in your stomach and not your liver/kidneys.

    For this to work, you have to consume both at the same time.

  • Israeli soldiers filmed pushing bodies of Palestinians off West Bank roof
  • The UN statistics on deaths in Gaza have not been updated in months. Do you know why? Because israel has killed everyone that can count the dead and israel is not counting the dead.

    Israel does not have numbers on how many people they've killed because they frankly do not care.

  • Israeli soldiers filmed pushing bodies of Palestinians off West Bank roof
  • To sum up the reports here. Hamas is in the west bank, ACCORDING TO THE IDF.

    And if you read any of the articles you actually posted, you know that there are a lot of problems with just verifying what the IDF claims as true. For example, Wissam Khazem's death where the IDF quickly hid the body and hasn't allowed any 3rd party verification.

    Or the fact that in the very same article about Wissam Khazem's death, it goes on to talk about how snipers killed elderly and disabled people in the region.

    You see, Israel likes to play this neat trick where every person they kill is suddenly hamas. So, excuse me for not believing israelie intelligence sources when we have crystal clear evidence of them massacring civilians.

    But again, are you going to answer my question. How many hostages are in the west bank?

    4th of July parade was a mess

    Really unfortunate seeing hate groups marching while pointing guns at my family. Would have rather not seen that.
