Doesn’t it undermine your faith in leadership knowing the people you vote for are capable of paying attention?

Trump rolled out tariffs 8 years ago and they fucked the economy. Trump went on and on about tariffs, AGAIN, and a bunch of people connected the dots and sold. YEARS after the first round of tariffs.

Only psychopathic greedy corrupt assholes could figure out how to sell stocks in time. Nobody else could have seen it coming.

This website hijacked my browser history so when I press ‘back’ I get taken to ads. Great post dude.

I get anxiety thinking about thinking about “two sides.” It’s like alarm bells going off. Us vs them, simple and easy to understand explanation for current event, anything a frustrated or cynical person would generate automatically, etc.

TWO. SIIIIDES.

I love it. “Here’s a petition to betray the country. Any separatists come forward and put your name on this list.”

It will save sooooo much time.

Republican nepotism.

50 / 51 Republicans voting yes.

44 / 45 Democrats voting no.

“Democrats are bad.” “It’s the ratchet effect.” “They’re all against us.”

I’m not saying it’s untrue, I’m saying it’s kind of anemic. In the past we’ve had presidents with more significant margins. Obama was popular and he hit 8%. We generally have notable margins and that’s when we talk up the popular vote. Don’t you think it’s funny to juxtapose “Trump won the popular vote. (at 1.5%)” with your memory / knowledge of history?

One thing that makes it look good is that post 9/11 Bush barely hit ~3%. Making Trump about half as popular as a president rallying behind a national tragedy.

Saying Trump won the popular vote sounds a lot different than saying he won 49% to 48%.

On playstation there’s several games that were just released by the same scammer. One game, Gun shop simulator, looks to have ai generated textures, page description, and even the screenshots of gameplay. The main logo of the shop changes in every screenshot.

The screenshots of the game. Generated. What is Sony thinking? It’s like nobody is at the helm anymore.

Sounds like she’s going to run for president.

Does anyone have a link to the amendment? Or to the votes that were tallied?

The website seems to just link to the budget bill. If this were devs discussing a change to a repo, you’d have links to discussions, the code in question, related technical specifications… not just a link to what a dev said on Twitter and a link to the repo.

I don’t know enough to parse the bills / their process, but I know enough to not care about what they say happened on Twitter.

Left: Fuck Israel. Fuck Abrahamic religions. Fuck genocide.

Right: Jews went to work camps. Holocaust never happened. Jews control the world. Jews are replacing white people. Jews need to go. (((Soros!!!)))

Maher: the right is the worst but can we talk about how much the left hates Jews now? I feel like being mean to Trump is basically shitting on Holocaust victims.

Also Maher: I can host a show called Politically Incorrect, and the people I agree with deserve free speech, but everyone else should speak in murmurs and hushed tones. Won’t you have compassion??

Leader of humanity, champion of the future, the herald of space, the greatest warrior in the resistance, the only billionaire who cares about us –

Oh wait no, he lost a fraction of his enormous wealth, I guess he’s giving in to the forces of wokevil.

Being able to remember is so surreal these days. I remember when Republicans attacked my country and tried to kill elected leaders. I remember when the domestic terrorists were taken in like sons and daughters. I remember CPAC declaring “We are all domestic terrorists.”

And now they’re saying terrorists don’t deserve due process.

If the game is about driving around with a gun, provoking people into hitting you, and then going back and getting your gun to kill them, it would be very easy to go around deleting Trump supporters. You know, if not for the police / government being on their side.

That dude could’ve stayed in his truck and waited for people to walk by. Instead he ended up bloody and teary-eyed. And he’s the one with the fucking assault rifle.

It sounds really bad to me. The implication behind efficiency is that if it’s inefficient then it can be stopped. It’s a question of control / funding. (Auditing for efficiency is already a thing in societies, DOGE is not that.)

It’s like a government within a government. A super institution that sits above the others and decides budgets and policy.

This super institution would need expertise in all things related to self governance. When this super institution audits education how will it know what is efficient unless it has that domain specific knowledge? And then economics, and then engineering, and then social planning, and so on.

I think governmental efficiency stems from a society that values efficiency. Creating a super institution to rule them all is something else.

Hard to provide residence for a RealID when you’re homeless. Some shelters don’t want to deal with mail, providing bus passes, etc.

Kinda hearkens back to having to be rich and white to vote.

I think his Nazi stuff could be posing too. He did get caught flashing a woman. Tried to keep her quiet by promising to buy her a horse. Makes sense to come out as conservative once people think you’re a POS.
