Might as well have been with how much he worked with them.

I will be a walking biohazard if I ate that many beans. :)

I wouldn’t say that REpublicans eat them, but they sure will rape them.

It has beans, but a good diet is more than beans. They rarely have fresh produce outside of onions, peppers, and potatoes. Leafy greens and such usually are half way wilted already. It’s nice being entirely land locked.

I’ve considered it but live in a food dessert so options are pretty limited. Unless I want to make an hour round trip for good groceries.

It’s easy to tell as the right’s criticism is they eat babies, they’re demon spawn, welfare queens, nothing true just emotionally applied rhetoric. Where as the left would say they’re barely better than Republicans in regards to wars and keeping them going in perpetuity, they could pass universal healthcare instead of what the ACA was but through either naivety or incompetence reached out to Republicans to help make a plan “both parties would be happy with” for the Republicans not to vote for it at all.

I have a good nick name for them, torso boys!

Beef. Beef used to be in the affordable to readily affordable range. Now for a pound of ground beef it’s about half as much for a bag of chicken breasts.

People saying this is purity testing or similar, this is showing a difference between neo-liberal politics and their believers versus actual leftists or socialists. The term “liberal” has been misconstrued to mean left when it certainly is not. I want the USA to stop invading other countries, I want them to still provide aid for countries but preferably not military. Ukraine would be a situation we would provide military aide to so they can repel fascist invaders.

And Nixon’s leaving office cemented they’d rather go with fascism than democracy.

Anyone part of that party is corrupt, and majority of Democrats are as well.

I point to the likes of Mitch McConnell who has been working to undermine our government for decades, just that instead of someone with half a brain they got Trump instead so have to go with him.

You’d get nothing but disingenuous answers, rhetoric, and bad faith arguments.

I stopped trying to understand them because all measures are correct about them. They’re racist, fascist, bigoted morons wrapped in Christianity and the flag as their excuses for being so.

This, the point would be to clog up the system entirely so nothing can push through at this point.

Nothing works as it was explained to me how it should. Now everything has ever changing rules and the points don’t matter.

Rogue Trader which it was based on was a parody yes had a lot of references to politicians or political doctrine at the time. It evolved over the editions as it gained popularity, especially outside the UK. The parody now is much darker in tone, less comedic or silly. The problem is they started to realize how cool the setting was as they developed it and took out even more of that satirical bite. There’s some satire still but it’s not as on the nose now.

Apparently, like with McConnell, being a bag of the worst excrement keeps you alive a long time. Not looking good, just alive.

Yup, it’s not a small scale operation, this is “Illuminati” levels of an operation. I hate to give them legitimacy, but there is a secret cabal of prominent figures, political, financial, and some religious pushing an agenda.

I was conned into going into ITT Tech out of high school. I learned a lot but didn’t find out until later it was unaccredited so nothing would transfer to colleges and that they had lied heavily about their placement numbers. There were a few issues keeping from going after them: it was my parent’s money, the point in time I went wasn’t part of the lawsuit, and my parents were dead when the lawsuit came about. I cannot put ITT Tech on my resume because of everything related to it, it’s a literal black mark. So I have to stretch the truth of those two years because of it.

Big money and hostile, foreign interests. That’s basically it, you’ll find Russia pushing a lot of far right candidates and the oligarchs convinced techno-feudalism will work.
