Watch 14 minutes into the video. The exchange is only 90 seconds. Are you surprised? Are you really surprised? |
| Awfully quiet in here. |
| Brazilian here. Y’all are putting us to shame. There has always been corruption in the US btw; it’s just never been so in your face. |
PP here. My bad I read title and thought you were talking about the US government being corrupt and doing things like essentially selling pardons. First, I would say road rage shoot outs are more American than Brazilian. Second-yes, a widening income gap will lead to worse crime. So even if you only care about you & yours, income disparity impacts everyone. Think security everywhere, wired fences to keep people out, etc. |
Then stop creating the conditions that cause income disparity. I can assure the more you try to push policy and regulation to lower it, the higher it becomes b/c of the second and third order effects of those policies. |
Liberals love Massachusetts! That’s why it’s a completely blue state. I think California is too big to call the whole state a dump. There are dumpy parts but some areas are still nice. |
Well, at the very least it is funny: Bald-headed Uncle Fester-looking Trumpian douchebag attacks another driver, then shoots at them. But then he eats lead at the hands of the other driver and gets a one-way ticket to douchetown. No charges filed. Thoughts-n-Prayers!

Seeing Rubio and aoc speak at Munich, laying out their grand visions of what America’s posture to the world should be; one couched in Cuban reactionary thought the other in boricua communism is just a sad sight to see.
Hillary Clinton was at Munich as well and it underscores how nothing good will come to Democrats if we embrace the above. |
Really good interview with Wagner Moura today on the Pod Save America podcast covering this - worth a listen. |
| You are what you eat. The country is who you bring into the country. |
Can we bring over 23 million Taiwanese and 124 million Japanese people? Solves the China - Taiwan issue We get an influx of high human capital with 150 million Japanese + Taiwanese. |
