I’ve had success with MPCFILL (https://mpcfill.com/) and MakePlayingCards.com. The cards are indistinguishable from the real thing as far as feel goes (passes the bend test) and blends in perfectly once sleeved.

This isn’t true. Defacing money for the purpose of fraud or to melt coins for their metal value is illegal but creating elongated coins is not. Elongated Coin Legality

That’s a damn good analogy. Appease for long enough to grab a big stick. My original thought on Dementia Don saying just “give Putin what he wants” felt to me like a “if we do this now he won’t ask for more later and the war will stop” kinda thing. As I read it now I’m willing to bet you’re more correct. There is no nuance here. The orange cheeto is angling for praise from his master and dictators the world over. How fucking dumb

Interesting. I learned something new today. Thanks for sharing! And no doubt he’s been bought/getting paid. Everything about him screams Russian asset.

Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement never works. It didn’t work with Hitler and it won’t work with Put-ler. This piece of shit is a useful idiot and I’m saddened that quite a few people today lap this shit up and see this as the best path forward. Ukraine may be scarred now but they can and will rebuild when they win this war. Slava Ukraini

Or here’s a thought. Increase the tax rate on the top 1% of earners. Heres another. Actually fund the IRS to go after billionaires. One or both of those would surely pay for this and much more.

Amazing. Hopefully this leads to eradicating HIV for good.

Every accusation is an admission. Fuck this guy

As an American, so are we

At best it’s because it’s because he doesn’t want Joe Biden and the Democrats to look good before the upcoming election. At worst it’s because he’s Putin’s bitch doing whatever his master says. Personally, I believe he’s a piece of shit traitor and so too are all the Republicans that follow and listen to him.

You mean like the last bill that you idiots rejected? Jesus fuck I weep for my country.

Some may. Id be willing to bet most don’t though

Which is fair. Trump has indeed not been convicted of the crime. The court of public opinion would disagree but until a legal decision is handed down we should presume innocent until proven guilty.

As for the links I found the first to be about a House resolution for impeachment based around Biden’s handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan and some comments he had as Vice president related to it. The second is an opinion piece conflating the withdrawal with giving aid to an enemy. As the withdrawal provided the Taliban an opportunity to return to power. Nevermind that Trump started it in the first place. It seems the GOP “plan” is to throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.

There are plenty of things to dislike Biden for but this certainly ain’t one of them

And what crimes exactly has Biden committed that would disqualify him under the 14th? What “enemies” has he been aiding?

And yet people will still vote for him to “oWn ThE LiBs” Republicans propaganda is really good at getting people to vote against their own self interests

A debate, to me implies two rational actors presenting their viewpoints and then defending them with facts. That guy has done nothing more than say it’s wrong then refuse to elaborate so again to me, it can’t be considered a debate any more than convincing a child to eat it’s dinner would be considered one.

But why? What’s your reasoning behind why people divorcing or wanting out of a relationship is a bad thing?

According to latimes “In his veto message, Newsom said expanding benefits would make the state’s unemployment trust fund “vulnerable to insolvency.” California’s unemployment fund already is projected to be nearly $20 billion in debt”

From what I read that’s largely due to the pandemic and fraud. Business closures and layoffs meant a record number of applications. Since the state couldn’t pay for all of it it had to borrow from the federal government.

Can’t say I blame him for not wanting to add to that debt but at the same time would unemployment benefits for, let’s say a month, really have of added that much to that debt? I haven’t run the math and I definitely can’t tell how many would be eligible but it really does seem like it would be a drop in the bucket

This line was pretty interesting to me: “the Portland brief reported that about 75 percent of some 3,400 offers of shelter were turned down”. I’m wondering if there are any prevailing reasons as to why. If people have good reasons to not go then maybe some money is better spent solving that instead of simply pushing people from one sidewalk to another
