I believe the implication is that the husbands are unreliable, so divorcing them is the only choice......

Careful there, Are you Jewish by any chance? According to the groypers, he can not be liked becasue his wife is indian.Apparently Gavin (Infinite Immigration Technique) Newsome is preferable because of his white wife(weinstein was with her??) and white children.

Totally sensible position.

Given the rumours that Gavin is functionally illiterate due to dsylexia. Gavin wouldnt be able to read the paternity test to know if they are his kids to begin with.

He also doesnt and cant know what the tweet team is doing. Also like Biden he is a perfect vessel for signing legistlation he cant read and understand.

There's the mistake that Democrats keep making, they believe their own bullshit.

They screech about Trump and Vance being literal goose-stepping, fire-breathing Nazi MAGA monsters until they actual believe it's 100% real. Then they hype themselves up and prepare to do battle with a demon from the bowels of Hell.

And then a polite and charismatic guy walks out on stage and greets them cordially and with a smile.

And then Tim Walz is standing there like the jackass who brought a sledgehammer to a square dance.

I suppose it's an artform to get high on your own supply of propaganda. Maybe it's too much to ask, that political leaders don't fall for their own hyperbolic nonsense designed with the masses in mind.

The Democrat interns reading this thread should give their bosses pamphlets with reminders about their own false reality, like how Biden needed a step-by-step breakdown for basically everything about his job as a puppet.

Start with Tim Walz! It seems like he really needs the help!

The more I see democrat PR/memes/media I'm just baffled at who it's for. It's always retarded, cringey, and weird. It's like they pay SNL people or something given their quality of stuff like "skibidi biden".

Everyone who criticizes anything they say is sent to the cornfield. The result is they say stupid shit all the time and everybody is scared to say so.

And he made Mexico pay for it.

Mexico could instantly improve relations with the US by sending Trump a sombrero that said "Make Mexico Great Again".

Too bad it's run by cartels that have a vested interest in the US being full of drug addicts and lonely men.

Sounds like these women picked bad husbands. Why did they do that are they stupid?

To be fair, humans make bad choices, the "She picked wrong!" pearl-davis level cope removes accountability from the shitty men in my opinion.It allows retards like tate to run around repentantly, cause "if he treats you like shit, it is your fault actually! 1759418205577.png if she went with me, i would totally treat the hole better!"

"Trump bad, oppose him on everything"

That's it, that's literally the extent of their logic, they have no concept of secondary effects or consequences.

There are a million examples but the most easily digestable one is not clapping or standing to honor DJ, a child brain cancer survivor because Trump wanted to appreciate him

Maybe all countries should be going in on the cost of new medication?

In theory, they should, but they're not going to. There's really no way to force, for example, Britain's NHS to pay a fair price for American-designed pills from American pharmaceutical companies short of an embargo, in which case they're more likely to just tell NHS patients, "Welp, that treatment's not available any more" than actually pay up...which would then do nothing to defray R&D costs. That might sound funny and cool, but it's diplomatically unrealistic.

I read his book and I saw the movie about it on Netflix, and the more that I learn about this guy who's only a few years older than me I could totally imagine him being one of the older kids I hung out with growing up, getting along with everybody and being cool. He's just a normal dude.
I think what scares liberals and the reason that Trump picked him is because he brings just the right amount of legitimacy but at the same time no bullshit.
He's a politician but he can speak on things like the military because he was a Marine in Iraq. He can go after drug dealers and traffickers so hard because his mother was a pain pill and heroin addict.
The type of embarrassing stuff about him like being a hillbilly or having a junkie mom he openly talks about so they aren't skeletons in his closet, they make him more endearing and trustworthy to people.
And they can't even hit him with that racism bullshit because he's got a thank you for calling Apple tech support wife.
Trump's approach to criticism or attacks is to tank that shit and bully you harder. Vance's strategy has always been to politely confront you and then break down exactly why you're the dick while effortlessly dodging whatever you're throwing at him.

Listen to his appearance on This Past Weekend with Theo Von.

In the middle of a presidential campaign, he goes on a podcast and talks zero politics, but talks about trolling opposing fans at a college football game and wild shit he saw at NarcAnon meetings. He even jokes about probably not being allowed to swear anymore, and how that's going to be a bummer.

I also don't think that that is the real issue as to why medication is so much more expensive here. The little rat fuck Martin Shkreli who raised the prices of drugs here 5000% may have gotten caught, but I guarantee he wasn't the first person and certainly wasn't the last to do such a thing.

What got Shkrelli ganked was that he went too far in one shot and then bragged about it instead of doing it in increments and making excuses for each bump.

Yeah but the fundamental flaw in drug companies is that they're allowed to do it in increments and make excuses for each bump.
They need to pass a set "fuck you" law for medication where you can only make your profit back twice over.
You have a pill that costs $1 to make? The maximum you can charge is $3, no exceptions to the rule.
Just the fact that pharmaceutical companies can raise their prices because "fuck you" is outrageous to me. People's well being and lives shouldn't be a supply and demand scenario.
