    Weird. The magat actually displayed their flag appropriately, as outlined in the US Flag Code, with the stars on the left when its hung vertically.

    Funny enough, the flag on the right is not appropriate according to the US Flag Code. It is an altered version of the flag being used for political purposes. They also have their chakra rainbow rug upside down, purple usually on top. I don’t see the chakra glyphs on there, so maybe it’s not meant to represent them.

          I was thinking more of Ralph and Sam cartoons (I couldn’t remember the original names in my first comment)

      Having just sold mine. Yes. 50% of all decision making power in the hands of complete morons. And it can happen at any time even after years of stability when the other unit is sold and changes hands.

    The thing that always gets me is these asshole billionaires have convinced us that our neighbors are the problem while they reach into our pockets and rob us blind, all rhe whole spending billions of dollars a year on media propaganda to convince us these idiotic social issues are the problem when really, this is a class war. Always has been.

      It’s my biggest gripe with political dialogue these days. People are extremely tribal and close themselves off from their neighbors, families, friends, over ideology, relying on their heavily curated bubble to inform them of what the other side is saying/doing.

      I try to call it out when I see it, but it feels like a losing battle. Your neighbors aren’t your enemy. Isolating ourselves only benefits the “ruling class”, or whatever we want to call it.

        It’s hilarious that literally minutes after your comment someone replied with, “BUT MY NEIGHBOR REALLY IS THE ENEMY!”

        It’s hard to be friendly to MAGA hat wearing coworkers when they casually throw in an open borders joke while you personally know someone who’s undocumented but has been living here for decades. It’s worth keeping a little distance from those people.

          This. I mean, you can find common ground with these people, but it’s WORK! It’s constant, it’s 100% on you, and if you touch any of the programmed hot buttons, you’re back to square one. Some of them are so deep in the matrix that they’re living in an entirely different reality. I’ve unironically had an easier time talking with people about all the different species of ET that have supposedly visited earth. 10/10 would hang with the Pleiadeians before MAGAs.

      I cant help but to notice the liberal could afford architectural shingles and the conservative could not.

        Assume they both could, but the liberal was actually capable of making a correct cost:benefit analysis and is saving a fortune on heating and cooling

      I imagine they both wake up every morning and sit at the table, casually drinking their coffee, before getting started with their very angry days.
