With the way things are going I'm looking forward to Barron Trump being a Democratic darling in the 2040s-2060s
It wouldn't surprise me, they have no principles. Hell, they were praising even Dick Cheney for not supporting Trump, much less W. And they literally worshipped Liz Cheney and somehow thought SHE'D help their cause when everyone left and right hates her.

If Barron says his dad wasn't that great he'd be a hero to them, I highly doubt that'll happen though.

I don't understand why it's not easily recyclable anymore. Can you elaborate? I'm not arguing, I don't know anything about it really but caught that video above a few years ago and it seemed relatively straight forward.
It's a fragile and heavy material and the cost of transportation makes it unlikely to be included in curbside recycling programs. There aren't recycling plants for glass in my area (though plastic has also been getting faded out because of high costs vs what is actually gained). I have to drive up to the DFW area and drop off any donable glass to any of the 3 plants there (and all three have a list of acceptable donations and a list of things they WILL NOT take --which basically boils down to only taking glass bottles).

Glass recycling got phased out for the most part when manufacturing made the switch to majority plastics. It's similar batteries, most recycling plants made the switch to lithium recycling and now you really can't recycle alkaline or zinc-carbon batteries outside of some general electrical recycling plants (and not all places take them).

Rubio is seriously becoming Trump's Sanji, and I'm impressed. Tim Kaine wanting rapefugees but no whiteys and Rubio calls him on it, even does a GenX shut up boomer moment about how he was in 9th grade when apartheid ended so who cares:

What I love the most about his moments like this is that it’s clearly just trolling and they always go batshit. Soyboy here sounded so pissed off.
Here’s a tip Notus, normal people aren’t so insecure when someone discounts their profession
 
They straight-up fabricated National Guard memos and ran a 60 minute special on them to try to flip the election to Kerry. This was after four straight years of calling him Hitler and Code Pink bleeding out the wherever all over the Capitol.

Never heard of this, but sounds like a direct equivalent to the Steel Dossier.

Google "Rathergate."

TL; DR - they made fake National Guard memos about Bush's time there, but since journoscum are fucking stupid, they typed them up in MS Word and ran them through a copier a few times to make them look old. Some blogger immediately spotted the fake and showed that the kerning matched MS Word's defaults exactly and could not possibly have been produced by a typewriter. Dan Rather and the rest of the MSM stood by the story until it was beyond parody; CBS finally cut him lose to try and save face.

I've never forgotten since then that the press will go as far as fabricating evidence to try and tilt politics to the Democrats.

It will forever amuse me that her and her family are so fucking hated by everyone that her endorsement quantifiably hurt Kamala's campaign.

it is "easily" recyclable in a technical sense (just melt it down)
but it doesn't make economic sense to do so. the raw material used to make glass (quartz sand) is really cheap and widely available, it is much easier for a glass factory to just buy tons of sand from a mining company rather than go through the logistical nightmare of collecting a million shittyused glass bottles from all around the city.
there's simply no point to recycling something that is available in abundance and dirt cheap to produce.

This is starting to sound familiar. I was familiar with politics from a really early age (I’d listen to FOX in the background while drawing with crayons) but it was so long ago I never heard about it, didn’t remember.

Holy shit.

I grew up with a super Republican ideologue Pa, but my personal moment like that was the George Zimmerman slander campaign. And a phase the Democrat media went through, for a while, of wildly speculating on every mass shooter being a Republican terrorist.
 
I'd imagine every modern president since Nixon has been called a fascist just by the nature of socialists being the faggots they are.
It's basically a Republican tradition since the founding of the party. Remember how Lincoln was frequently called a King and a tyrant?

Just melt it down at home. Every man should be able to make Glass Armor at his house, what are you, a low armorer skill chump? This will become a reality if you vote Howard 2028. All outlanders will die and America will be cleansed of N'wahs with execution footage streamed in 64k, that's 16 times the detail of normal execution footage folks!

As I understand another problem is that you can't un-color glass if it's recycled, so if you want to make clear glass again then you have to start with clear bottles. I suspect there are a lot fewer clear bottles than there used to be. I know it's sometimes obvious when you get insulation made with recycled glass since it's sort of dirty colored instead of the nice itchy pink ones.
 
This is 100% unedited footage of the anti-Trump protest in the city of Asheville, NC over the weekend.

What immediately jumps out at you about the protestors?

That they're old as fuck

That's the tangential surface level observation. What isn't immediately noticeable is that all of these people were on the NGO dole and had their heads ripped out of the trough.

They're out protesting because they no longer have the money to pay young people to do it in their stead.

There would have been a handful of typewriters that could have done kerning in existence, but you wouldn't find them in a random TANG office. The other issue was that the terminology and abbreviations used were consistent with Army National Guard practices, but the memo was supposed to be from the Air National Guard-- and Rather's source for the document was a former Texas Army National Guard guy with a long history of anti-Bush sentiment.

I think the fallout from these revelations is where we got the "fake but accurate" spin from the press for the first time.

Well-respected, household name journalists were willing to torpedo their careers for the flimsiest chance to get Bush. Things weren't that different from today.

And it turns out if you dig into it that most of the abuses were his subordinates. He actually had to keep tard wrangling the Union Army from shutting down newspapers. At the end of the War they had to send the Army in to stop Unionists in Kentucky and Missouri that loved suspending habeas corpus and didn’t want to go back to trials instead of just lynching everyone they disagreed with.

Regardless of whether any particular idea of Lincoln was good, much less that big question of secession, I’ve come to believe Lincoln really was a normal, chill dude.
