If the closest ally, Canada is ready, willing, and able to send more and cheaper diesel fuel to America, why have Putin and Trump refused the offer ?

It would only require a 4% increase in the present level of oil shipments from Canada to take Russia out of the equation and bring prices down. Why won't Trump and Putin allow this ??

what to do with my period blood?

i kept my period blood in a jar. idk why. i just wanted to see how much i could bleed. anyway i got weirdly attached to it and kept it but i don’t know what to do with it when i don’t want it anymore. i saw online about how you shouldn’t put it in plants because it’s a ritual that can have negative effects. i dint wanna do a ritual but im also seeing its good for fertilization. idk man i lowkey dont wanna flush it down the toulet either. my jar deserves more than that.

get back to me on this thank you

How do guys with diesel trucks with American flags feel about filling up with Russian diesel?

Answer is: most don’t care, are not aware, or understand.

Republican followers claim they are not MAGA, but then why did 185 out of 195 Rs in the House (95%) vote to acquit him after Jan. 6, and he won the highest votes of any Republican politician in history? Why don't they impeach him TODAY? What's stopping them?

If Republicans aren't MAGA, why did the overwhelming majority (95%) vote to support a literal coup to over turn the Constitution and erase Americans' right to vote and install themselves to power.

And even after Jan. 6, Republicans purged and punished Mike Pence for refusing to support the insurrection and purged and fought against the 10 Republicans that refused to support the MAGA coup?

Republicans blame the FBI, they blame and hate the Democrats, they hate and blame MAGA and say it doesn't represent them at all.

We're all to vlame, we're all bad. Everyone is to blame except for the Republicans Party.

Yet the Republican Party openly supported the coup and threw away every chance to do the right thing.

The Republicans installed their judges to the Supreme Court and gave Trump legal immunity to commit any crime as President with total freedom.

**If Republicans don't support MAGA, they could impeach and convict the President and his cabinet right now. The Dems are ready. The only thing stopping all of us from ending this is Republican voters and their elected representatives **

It almost seems like Republican politicians are doing extremely unpopular things - like blocking the Epstein Law - and then feeds their followers propaganda blaming it on everyone else.

Republicans seem to be trying to blame MAGA for all the bad the GOP is doing to all of us - but defend the GOP and insist they have no role or responsibility.

**What is stopping even a few sane Republicans from voting with Dems to impeach and convict TODAY? **

Does anyone else agree with this?

Soooo someone reposted this earlier and I immediately just thought it was really stupid because it’s obvious to me why we think this way….

we eat soup in bowl… so of course we would want a bowl shaped tuppaware/ containers. Like she’s making out like there is no logical explanation for this hence why she says she won’t be explaining when they quite clearly is an easy explanation.

Conservatives of reddit: if, as some conservatives claim, illegal immigrants don’t get due process, how would you prove you, yourself, are a citizen without due process?

Like, if some random LEO came up and said you weren’t a citizen, and they weren’t obligated to provide any die (edit: *due) process, what would you do?

In your opinion, which US airport is the worst to use as of 2026?

I don’t mean the small, domestic/regional airports or airstrips, but the large International Airports or international airport hubs within USA only.

Which ones are the worst for arrivals, departures, or simple transfers?

If possible please provide details. I’d really like to know why.

[edit] Well shit; didn’t expect this to blowup. From what y’all are saying, Newark must be in the ninth circle of Hell.

Why do younger generations think boomers can magically retire at the age of 65?

I see this all the time, but it's just mean-spirited fantasy. Yes, it's possible to take an early Social Security benefit when you're as young as 62, but it will be reduced.

67 is the age of retirement for a full benefit, and the average monthly benefit is just $1,940.

This is why you see so many old people bagging and stocking groceries and doing other menial jobs.

Here's the actual life seniors are living:

The Nationwide Social Security Survey Found That 56% of Americans Can’t Afford to Miss Even Half a Payment, Are You One of Them?

The 1% are the problem, not the average 70-year-old.

Is trump a conservative?

This sounds like a dumb question but as someone who’s taking an AP Gov class, I’ve been getting more interested in politics.

Now from the brief research I've done, I would label him more as a right-wing populist/nationalist

The biggest reason is his expansion of presidential power not really aligning with conservatism

He culturally and socially aligns himself a lot with it though

Really asking just to see if any politics nerds have a clear answer for this so I don’t say the wrong thing.

Ok guys I just wanted to know for a gov project thanks 😭

Why did the family of Ashli Babbitt get a settlement of $5M and the families of Alex Pretti and Renée Good have to sue to get an investigation?

The DOJ civil rights division exercised its legal authority to settle the Ashli Babbitt case rather than defend the Capitol Police officer's actions in trial. They could do the same with the Renée Good and Alex Pretti cases. They're choosing not to.

Because a full investigation occurred immediately and key evidence was public, there was no legal need for the Babbitt family to sue simply to compel an inquiry or unseal basic facts.

Following the shootings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, local investigators and family members faced immediate resistance from federal authorities. This has been extensively written about by Forbes and Law Commentary. The federal government initially withheld critical physical evidence, including Good's vehicle and scene recordings, and ended standard cooperation with local prosecutors from the Hennepin County Attorney's Office. As a result, families of the victims had to use court filings and civil rights lawsuits specifically to preserve evidence, compel the release of records, and ensure independent investigations could occur.

On the right, figures and commentators have framed Ashli Babbitt as a patriot and a victim of excessive government force, but they view the shootings of Renée Good or Alex Pretti as strict "law and order" issues where "they should have complied". They place primary responsibility on the individual to comply with federal officers.

Why does the U.S. Senate keep blocking the bill to stop the switch to DST?

Edit: I admit I fucked the title up. Because I am a spaz. Should be: Why does the U.S. Senate keep blocking the bill to remain on DST.

Seems likely it won't pass again this time around.

Basically the argument was that kids were getting hit by cars back in the 1970's waiting for school buses in the morning.

But that was back in the 1970's.

Cars are safer now, have more technology in them to prevent crashes, have headlights that are bright as fuck, and there are more street lights than ever.

So I'm not buying that argument now.

Drivers will drive shitty and be distracted all throughout the day, dark or not.

What is an acceptable alternative to ma'am?

I can understand that women find the term "ma'am" offensive. Men have "sir" and it seems to be alright. What is an alternative to ma'am that is acceptable?

I had a women at the supermarket ask if I could help reach an item high on the shelf and when she asked me If I could help her I said, "yes ma'am" out of respect, but I could tell in her expression that she didn't like it.
