You also can’t buy refrigerant without a license.

That’s gotta depend on location…

I’ve lived in a couple US states, and AutoZone always carried it.

Just checked online and even amazon sells 134a

100% low on coolant, which means you have a leak.

If it suddenly got really shitty, then it’s a big leak and no way around it.

If it’s slowly gotten shittier and shittier, so slow you’re just now really worrying about it. Then it’s likely a tiny pinhole leak. The environmently right thing to do is still to get the leak repaired, depending on your state laws you may not have a choice.

But for a pinhole you can charge it back up and could be good for years, could be good a week.

Now you’re a renter, so if you’re in a good state you maybe able to report the suspected leak, and then they have to get it checked?

It’s one of those things where any one person has a negligible effect, but if everyone goes one way or the other it’s a huge effect, so some states say you can’t charge without doing a leak check and then they have to fix it before charging.

Trump has been shouting incoherent word salad and confabulations for years at this point

Exactly…

He’s never put thought into what comes out of his mouth, he just opens it.

So while both are experiencing normal effects of aging, Trump’s never made it a habit to use his frontal lobe, and that’s where this shit hits first.

So there’s no observable difference in his behavior.

Like, imagine you suffered a stroke and lost the ability to ride a bike. If you’re Lance Armstrong it’s a huge deal. If you’re some 80 year old fat fuck who thinks exercise lowers your “battery” it has zero effect on your life because you dont ride a bike.

Biden was pretty unanimously labeled “the greatest modern political orator” back in the 80s. It wasn’t even really debatable.

Seriously, he was at the absolute peak of his game and no one could touch him. But he lost it a long time ago, it didn’t start recently. Look at the 08 debates and he’s more than serviceable still, but already a shadow of his former self.

Here’s what I dont get about drug trafficking.

People always hide in regular vehicles. Why not just do a U-hail absolutely filled with shit. And waaay at the front where it would take an hour to get to, have a suitcase with it vacuum sealed inside.

A cross country uhaul explains a lot of shitty driving behaviors, and it’s almost impossible to speed.

Or are people already doing that and just not getting caught?

Would pretty much guarantee

Being in the White House drastically ages the president, VP, and senior staff due to the insane amounts of stress and long hours that come with the job.

It’s not easy.

Biden has been in the WH for 12 years.

trump for four, but he’s too fucking stupid to be worried. So the stress never got to him. If he saw something he didn’t like, he ripped up the paper, tried to eat it, then flushed it. And trump would have 100% forgotten about it immediately.

Which is why they can be essentially the same age (18 months is nothing in your 80s) but Biden seems so much worse. Biden is used to thinking about what to say, trump just opens his mouth and rambles like he always has.

But with all that being said:

We need higher standards to get Dem voters onboard. A bad candidate that’s better than trump is still a bad candidate. We don’t need someone who tries to think of what to say but can’t say it, we need someone that can think of a competent response and then communicate that effectively.

But number three, let me speak about the radical left. You and I have both been parts of faculties and faculty senates and understand that the left has taken over our institutions. The reason that they are apoplectic right now, the reason that so many anchors on MSNBC, for example, are losing their minds daily is because our side is winning.

And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.

When they’re saying this about Joe Biden and mainstream pro-corporate media like MSNBC…

It’s really hard to take people seriously when they say AOC is too extreme to be president.

They’ll always say moderate Dems are far left radicals, they can’t say it anymore about AOC. The main difference is moderates try to argue that they’re actually conservative which pisses off Dem voters. And progressives like AOC use it as an opportunity to talk about why the policy works, which grows the Dem voters base.

We can’t keep meeting them halfway.

We need to 100% fight fascism, and we need to keep fighting. Because the fascists never stop.

This is bigger than me, so I’ll step aside to beat Trump.

Would pretty much guarantee whoever filled his spot became president.

But moderates demand 100% loyalty. Even if Biden thinks they’re right eventually, he’s not going to change his mind for “the left”. Even when it’s other moderates. He’s been turning on a lot of allies immediately after they even questioned if he should stay in, and claiming CNN and the NY times all sorts of shit despite them backing him all the way up till now.

Biden has never been good at accepting criticism or dealing with confrontation. It’s what torpedoed his first primary back in 88. If someone isn’t with him, Biden considers them against him.

He’s a lot like trump in that regard, loyalty is a one way street.

Recently got a spot on the Daily Show, but an absolutely amazing standup comic, who puts out an absolute crazy amount of material.

Since he got the Daily Show, he’s gotten a lot more political since it’s literally his job to stay up with everything going on. So he’s very well informed.

Edit:

And here’s him 9 months ago talking about McTurtle doing it too

This is actually pretty huge…

Liquor sales is a big way to launder money and bribe an owner. Cutting it off in NJ makes it harder for people in the area to do it.

A majority of Democrats and left-leaning independents, 56 percent, said the party is more likely to win in November without Biden, according to the poll.

In a head-to-head match-up, Trump holds a 6-point lead over Biden nationally, which is the same lead as in April’s CNN poll.

It’s not even personal anymore. Or about if Biden would be a good president or not.

He doesn’t have the support to beat Trump. And trump is too dangerous to risk a candidate people don’t like.

For fucks sake, Biden might be the first Dem to lose the popular vote in decades. Because of the electoral college there’s no way for a Dem to carry enough states without the popular vote. Republicans get away with it because of small shitty red states.

For now,

Bruh…

Do you know what “long term planning” means?

If you don’t think they have one, say it.

Biden could have expanded the courts 4 years ago, but he didnt.

This could have never happened.

Roe vs Wade could still be standing.

So much shit could be better, but Biden didn’t want to fight.

you think they’re not doing anything.

What’s their long term plan?

As far as I can tell, it’s only prevent progressives from taking control of the party.

It doesn’t do what it should.

The point of the party is supposed to be long-term strategy and putting the platform over any one person.

When people talk about what the DNC should be doing, it’s not some “gotchya” to point out that they’re not doing their job and leadership needs replaced.

It’s just proving their point

We need someone that will use every tool at their disposal to stop trump.

Biden has shown time and time again, that’s he’s just not willing to do that.

Stopping trump is more important than Biden, if he won’t fight, and he won’t get out of the way, and the party won’t force him to…

It’s time to ask why we still support the party. The voters are the irreplaceable part, not the party.

And Obama hired that Doc while Biden was VP…

He wasn’t an upstanding doctor up till Trump took office, then suddenly Pablo Escobar

known speech impediment

He had a childhood speech impediment. Overcoming those requires a concentrated effort, which we become less able to handle as we age.

Here’s Biden in 2008

https://youtu.be/eOombKZSsj4?si=hYe3kh-wkM2iemtY&t=1424

Here he is in 1987

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRxOldhJ7Sw

In a way what’s happening now is a speech impediment, but it’s re-emerging as he loses ability in the same parts of the brain that handle critical thinking due to the normal effects of aging.

I’m just tired of so many people writing this stuff off. Like, it took 2 minutes to find those videos and show he hasn’t always been like this. He just couldn’t win until the only other option was trump. Even tho he was a much better candidate back then.

Quick edit:

Ironically something like the Havana weapon would actually cause this shit, it’s incredibly unlikely someone used it on Biden for the debate…

But it’s fucking 2024 y’all, who knows what’s real anymore I guess.

The employees in the joint suit, half of whom are minors (with one as young as 14)—allege that in addition to not being paid for their work, they were subject to racial slurs and Black employees were called “slaves.” They also claim that the minors were exposed to pornographic material while working on Ye’s new adult-film and pornography venture Yeezy Porn, and that Ye’s team was “directly and personally aware” of said exposure.

The employees state in the suit that Ye’s wife Bianca Censori sent an employee a shared file of “hardcore” porn for the Yeezy Porn platform, and that photos from that file were “openly disseminated” in group forums with the underage workers. The employees also claim they were threatened with non-payment if they refused to sign NDAs.

I’m not blaming the kids, but I’m 100% blaming the parents who let their teenagers intern for Kanye West.

That’s just insanely irresponsible and they literally aren’t fit to have custody. Like it’s shady enough for a legit celebrity, but Kanye?

and expecting your partner to kill for you.

Some questions are hypothetical or even rhetorical

And honestly on a deeper level there are reasons for women to suddenly go down these hypothetical scenarios related to safety, on a fairly regular basis.

There’s just too much context and subtlies that we can’t know for anyone to give a 100% answer on if a reaction like this is warranted.
