Folks on the middle and right, how has Trump admin done so far in improving affordability?

Inflation and affordability were major issues in the last presidential election, and considering the verdict, it's probably safe to assume that voters weren't that happy with how Biden handled it and expected Trump to turn things around. How has he performed so far?

Conservatives, you yell and screech at Mamdani for all his "commie" policies yet the guy is at least trying something to improve affordability. Where are the Republican efforts toward the same?

What are the Republican politicians trying to do apart from being a doormat for Donald Trump?

Hola conservatives, how do you feel about Trump inserting himself into the footy world cup celebration photos?

A moment the players, the coach, the population of an entire country have been waiting for for years. A generational moment which the players and coach and all who worked hard for should be allowed to savor and celebrate to the fullest. Without any distractions.

Yet there he was.

And not for the first time.

Thoughts?

Why is Elon Musk trying to fan the flames of anti-immigrant sentiment across the western countries when he seemingly prefers immigrants for his own companies?

He even threw a petty fit on Twitter not too long ago against those opposed to H1B visas?

Don't anti-immigration policies mean less immigrant workers for his companies?

Ultra wealthy CEOs, the very faces of their companies, are having petty spats on twitter yet face no consequences but if some lowly grunts were to do the same they'll get fired right away. Why?

Conservatives, you do not want a long protracted war with troops on the ground yet you don't want a deal with Iran which is not unquestionably better than the one from Obama. How exactly do you plan to achieve an end to the conflict then?

Masters of the Universe is one of the better superhero films of the decade

It may not be in the same league as Guardians of the Galaxy 3 or The Batman, but it's not any worse than the vast majority of supe films released this decade. In fact, purely imo, it's better and more fun than most.

Even the recent biggies from MCU and DC, FF and Superman, I wouldn't say any of them are unquestionably better than Masters of the Universe. In fact, I personally found MOTU's tone and pacing more a bit even throughout.

The biggest advantage those other films have is familiarity. Marvel and DC characters have continued to remain part of pop culture for decades but poor bloke Heman hasn't been relevant to mainstream folks in a long time.

That may explain the disappointing box office numbers more than the actual quality of the film. Many people in their 40s and 50s grew up with He-Man, but these guys don't necessarily make up the bulk of moviegoing audience.

So if you've been on the fence because of all the box office flop reports, I'd recommend still giving it a shot. If you're in any way familiar with the character and the universe you may very well have a jolly good time.

Who would win: Billions of Sapiens vs a Big Orange Turd?

Yeah who are we kidding, the giant turd is winning and rubbing his stinky mushy backside all over our fucking faces and there's fucking nothing we can do about it.

In spite of all the human ingenuity we can't make a crap hole big enough to flush this turd out.

And the turd just continues to shit n fart over everything and we just have to suck it up.

When will this stinkin nightmare end fucking hell

What do you think America was once great at but no longer is? And why do you think it's because of political policies along the way and not simply due to advancements in technology or society moving to a higher stage of maturity with regards to its economy or otherwise?
