Doubtful.

ICE, CBP, and DHS have all drastically scaled back any activity against actual criminals.

They’re going after the easiest targets possible, the cartels are probably loving trump. All he’s doing is driving a wedge between governments and giving them more opportunities

Men 18-40 spouting racist, bigoted, and antisemitic things

Is evolution working as intended…

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3029708/

The same neurotransmitter (oxytocin) that causes love, humans to group up, and not be repulsed by incredibly disgusting kids…

Causes (especially for straight men) an intense hatred for literally anyone who you weren’t socialized as a toddler around because they ain’t “us”. They’re “them” or an out-group.

That’s why the right goes so hard against diversity in media, why they lost their shit over Drag story hour.

Because humans are animals, and if we’re not properly socialized as children, shit goes all Lord of the Flies, every time. You want a generation of racist white guys who hate anyone that ain’t straight? You need to shield them completely from everything that’s not that during their formative years, and that’s what the right has been doing.

Everyone wants to pretend they pick random shit, but the people driving it are obscenely wealthy, and even if they’re not smart enough to figure out the psychology, they’ll pay someone to do it.

And for decades neoliberals played I to it, because they’re paid by the same wealthy people to keep everyone divided.

We gave up on the kids, and it’s gonna be impossible to win the lost ones back. We can still teach them critical thinking, but in 40 years when they’re 60, they’re gonna be a new maga. Just from how the normal aging process works. As we lose mental ability, we fall back on ingroup/outgroup.

Gen alpha is a boomer timebomb waiting to happen…

Even from the out of context screenshot…

It seems pretty obvious that they were talking about how the only time Republicans show empathy is when they’re personally feeling pain.

Most Republicans don’t give a single shit if thousands of school kids are shot every year, but if it was kids they know, they’d want to actually protect kids from gun violence.

That’s completely different than how Couch Fucker is portraying it.

I mean…

The US military has been using various media like videogames for propaganda for a long time.

Obviously SA is going to influence things too.

Lot of talk…

We can’t afford to give credit for people talking about shit. If it happens later, give credit to the prosecutors and low level government employees who make it happen.

The reason every primary is the same wealthy neoliberals, is they suck up all the media attention.

Nobody wants to do science anymore…

Bullshit, Kamala has never been popular.

The neoliberals thought putting a brown woman next to Joe Biden would make people forget he was an old conservative white man.

And Kamala agreed to that arrangement, because she was insanely unpopular.

The only people who wanted her are the wealthy, and she couldn’t manage her own campaign team.

If she could be a good president, shed have been running things when Biden was in office, instead of the motley crew who were doing their best Weekend at Bernie’s.

That was her shot to show she had it. Instead they had to hide the fact that Biden couldn’t run till the last second, because they knew she didn’t have a shot in hell in a primary.

I wonder if we grew them on a greenhouse at the top of a mountain in Peru if they’d retain shape better?

Gravity is clearly winning, so take them to the place with the least gravity.

Or a species that was acclimated to India’s stronger gravity, grown in a place with less.

It’s not about having the funds…

Every payment is using funds authorized to be spent in fiscal year 2025, being spent in fiscal year 2026.

You know the stories about the military/government buying up a bunch of shit in the end of September? That’s because they can’t use the money in the next fiscal year.

They don’t actually spend every cent because that’s be crazy, but right now we’re coasting off the money in the couch cushions and everytime we use it we break federal law.

Like, there’s about to be as many violations as active duty military, and I can’t help but think Vought is using this to normalize doing away with budgets and using one gigantic slush fund with zero oversight or accountability.

It’s good their getting paid…

But this flagrant disregard for budgets is not a good sign of things to come.

Not from the article, but apparently there are funds in the account for the 10/15 pay day, and pay should go out to all military like “normal”.

No idea how it’s legal tho. Pretty clearly an anti-defiency act violation, but at least this time there’s a good result to trump’s admin breaking rules and norms…

He also keeps saying:

You have to go thru me first!!

From behind his desk in the comfort of his mansion while citizens are beat and disappeared.

Who gives a fuck what he’s saying, he’s a multi billionaire that would rather all this happen than a progressive willing to fight have his office instead.

We’d be better off if the fat rich fuck had a heart attack today, it would at least redistribute his billions to a handful of people…

Outside of Bernie, they relied on the DNC squashing primary challengers, then being the only option in the general.

That’s why all the big neoliberals are putting on these acts, they’re more scared of midterms than Republicans are. They need to suck up all the oxygen so real progressives don’t heard, and billionaire owned.media is happy to help.

Quick edit:

And for the record, Bernie needs primaried too, everyone does. Healthy primaries is how we make sure we win generals.

People love to forget what we ended up with was a more conservative version of Mitt Romney’s plan.

All those fucking “moderates” said we had to start small and improve it. And over 15 years later no improvements have happened and we might lose what little we had.

Dems had a majority for 2 years with Biden, but the neoliberals still controlled the DNC and the purse strings, so nothing happened.

They no longer have the DNC, so we got a shot at actually fixing shit next time.

Billionaire owned media will never call an actual populist a populist…

They want to keep it a dirty word, when it literally just means putting the average citizen’s needs above the needs of the wealthiest.

If we don’t have populism, the alternative is an oligarchy. Those are the two ends of the scale, we can get something near the middle, but it at least has to be fair.

If the wealthiest have an advantage, they’ll never stop accumulating wealth.

And wealth is finite, for them to accumulate more, they got to take it from someone else.

I think the Democratic leadership learned from the last debt ceiling debacle

No, they dont have the backing of a biased DNC anymore. So they’re trying to paint themselves as progressive warriors.

Newsom was the most noticable, but Schumer and Jeffries are doing the same thing. They realized they’re actually going to have competitive primaries, and that negotiating with trump virtually guarantees they lose their next primary.

It’s pure self preservation, they still need replaced. And we absolutely can not afford to keep them in office, let alone leadership positions.

Yeah. I grew up on country and remember her first CMT music videos during my formative years.

Waaaay before she was famous, and all the teen drama songs were appropriate.

But she’s had a death grip on that genre so long, her current competitors weren’t even born when she released her first album. Legitimately, her first song released 19 years ago at 18, I checked.

That’s like people say all the “versions” are just a cash grab, but it’s more nefarious, for over a decade when a young female artists releases a big album for that demo, Taylor drops a new version to steal sales away from younger artists.

She’s got a pure boomer mentality about it. She’ll never try to bring the next generation on, she intentionally and consistently puts them down so she can maintain her position at the top of the pile.

There’s zero indication she can grow as an artist, and more and more people are considering that sad.

Shes gonna go from the world’s biggest start to a joke very fast, but it’ll still take years to really start.

if both parties have failed to do anything in X amount of decades then why keep voting either party

Because the parties aren’t institutional monoliths that never change…

You’re complaining about the 30+ years neoliberals held the chair, and ifgnoring that the voting members elected a staunchly non biased chair, and that the result of him leading a state party for a decade turned a purple state blue, and home of some of the most progressive and popular Dems in the country…

You can’t wait for billionaires to tell you that the billionaires lost control of the DNC.

When it happened they started shitting on the DNC and trying to depress turnout.

Dem primaries have literally never been as important as they will be the next three years. We can waste this chance

I’m convinced shit like paper straws is just to turn people against saving the planet.

The fucking straws aren’t great, but the real problem has always been the oligarchs and corporations.

So they come up with stuff that won’t help, but will get people pissed at climate activists.

Shit’s so obvious but no one ever talks about it. It’s the same principle as means testing, divide and conquer

It’s crazy it took this long for people to get tired of a 40 year old billionaire singing teen love songs…

Every “good” album was after she broke up with a bf, because that the only relatable experience she has to her fans. Lots of people called that getting engaged/married would be the end of her career.

She simply has nothing in common with her fans anymore. But she’s been a horrible person for decades, especially towards female singers who are younger than her. And now their fans are starting to realize who the problem always was.

Completely ridiculous that they quoted Kim Kardashian…

The soft life approach is not without its critics. In 2022, Kim Kardashian infamously claimed that women need to “get your fucking ass up and work” as “it seems like nobody wants to work these days”. She was forced to apologise – after it was pointed out that coming from a rich, already-famous family in LA would have its advantages in the job market.

But I never liked how this movement picked up the name “lazy girl job”. Bros can be lazy too…

I could have pulled in 6 figures after the Navy, but it would have been a shitty job that I fucking hated.

So I went back to school, got a degree that interests me, did that for a few years, then got a cushy decently paid office job that didn’t care what my degree was about.

I’m not maximizing my income, but I also essentially get UBI because I’m a disabled vet.

I’m basically living the progressive dream. And if everyone got the stuff I did, we’d be happier and more productive as a society. Along with a shit ton less crime, because people have something to lose.

Our current hyper capitalist society only works for people like Kim Kardashian that start out wealthy and connected, and those idiots constantly insist the only reason they’re wealthy is they work harder. I was doing manual labor before I was a teenager. There’s no way in hell Kim has worked a single day harder then I did as a child, but she legitimately believes she busts her ass, all the wealthy elites do.

Because they’re surrounded by people they pay to tell them what they want to hear, and everyone else is a “hater”.
