I guess Coca Cola has those flavor packets just right then.

Which are bangin’ btw. Spicy goldfish. My kid loves them.

Time for a Parasite Eve style event where Sith are shown to have competing mitochondria against the Jedi mitochondria?

I don’t think you meant it like this but I couldn’t help reading it in the cadence of “if you’re sliding into first and your pants are gonna burst, diarrhea” lol

You’re probably right and I don’t really keep up to date with magicians but I believe he literally took a bullet to his throat when his bullet catching trick failed. I’d say that’s pretty close to dying.

Maybe you’re thinking of David Blaine who almost died from his stunts multiple times?

Sounds like she was having some major health problems in detention at least partly caused by her hunger strike. I wonder if she is even still alive.

The sad part is no Republican since Eisenhower in 1960 has had a balanced budget.

Clinton handed GW Bush a budget surplus in 2001 and is the last time we’ve had a balanced budget.

So by your definition Republicans have not been conservative in a very long time?

Edit: I initially listed LBJs 1969 surplus as the most recent Republican balanced budget due to a brain fart forgetting he was a Democratic politician.

I see what you’re saying. For what it’s worth I never used either term. That was u/originallucifer.

You have piqued my interest though. What would you consider Republicans if they aren’t conservatives? I consider them Far right conservatives. Radical conservatives if you will.

I do not disagree with what you’re saying.

My point was that this hypocrisy about the national debt predates MAGA by like 40 years. I posted an article explaining it all. Two Santa Clause Theory.

This was happening way before MAGA.

You’re spot on. Called the two Santa Clauses theory.

IMHO when objective truths became “fake news” and “alternative facts” became the truth for so so many people, our slide into facist movements became a free fall.

“But Ms. Bolick also railed against Planned Parenthood and Democratic support for abortion rights. She argued that her vote to repeal the 1864 ban could be Arizona’s best shot at curbing the momentum behind a proposed ballot measure to enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution.”

Relieved to hear it’s going to the ballot! I have faith in my AZ brethren.

My understanding is those few conservatives voted to repeal this bill to kill the movement to have reproductive health rights enshrined in the state constitution.

It’s the equivalent of Persona 5 being followed by Persona 5 Royal with its added content.

Who is the parent organization of Yum! Brands? That would be PepsiCo

Spun off in ‘97 I guess but that’s not really the same as selling from my understanding

Edit: they are legally distinct entities that answer to largely the same shareholders after some research

You definitely get it. Pure satire.

Possibly generally more liberal but my personal anecdote as a raised Catholic- now non Christian , is that Catholics are only marginally less crazy than evangelicals. All Catholics I know are super conservative.

Edit: I know Biden identifies as Catholic and I’m not claiming my personal experience is comprehensive. Biden is the only Pro-Choice Catholic I’ve ever known of. Most people I know don’t even consider Biden a true Catholic because of his stances.
