I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible. Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness. I just don’t get it.

Will Stancil the famous “why do people hate me so much” guy. Someone actual agrees with most of your hypothesis (yes, I know you believe your positions are just facts and not hypotheses) and you call their take “terrible.” You desperately need some introspection.

This is very astute. The second worst part of the Trump era for me has actually been seeing how liberals behave especially when they have some form of power. They end up being as anti-victim as Trumpers do at times. And as willing to bully and harm people outside of their small subset of liberalism

What’s insane is he’s one of the most normal republicans left. And yet he still isn’t a decent human.

100%. Added points if any of the Robert’s Six can end up in federal prison.

Antisemitism is structurally necessary for Elon Musk's politics, because he wants to brand himself as the insurgent populist fighting the elite, but as the world's wealthiest person, he needs a definition of "elite" that is not strictly rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

Really good point.

I mean. Pretty much we now have conclusive proof that the failure to elect Harris is not a “you problem.” But keep stroking your smooth brain.

Two of my most amazing dogs were herding dogs. Just the best pups. They live long lives if you take care of them - but they need stimulation.

John Roberts struck down the ACA’s Medicaid expansion as a 10A violation because the law was, as he called it, a “gun to the head” of the states who did not want to help their residents. Now Trump’s putting *literal* guns to the heads of Minnesota’s residents to force their gov’t to betray them.

*visiting the Netherlands* Me: So... how big is The Hague? How many people can it fit?

Secret Police have no place in a free America. RT if you agree.

Obama. Biden. Congress. Senate. Sports stars. Sorry. You all have enjoyed privilege and status. Time to put it all on the line. Show up. Let your voices be heard. This ends when we are loud enough.

A real irony is that the left & true 1A believers on the right spent centuries defending the rights of dangerous scum to speak freely & now it seems they are the only ones with that right & they are gonna try to destroy everyone who defended their rights. In the future, this has to be examined.

Stop debating where fascism is here or whether elections will happen or won’t. They want us compliant and terrified. We are Americans and for all of our flaws, we aren’t a former Soviet republic or freshly out of a 50 year dictatorship. They can only beat us if we give up. The rest is distraction.

Two can play that game www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I’ve had the shittiest Americans at about 35-39% for a while. This is HUGE. 28% find Good’s murder was justified. This is a decent sign the rats are rubbing from the nest. Not dispositive. But a decent sign. This feels like Bush 2.0’s support falling.

I will just say, forgetting how awful Bush 2.0 was for America and for the world is a large part of how you end up where we are today.

I know no one will see this. But I forgot my coffee at home this morning.

From a focus group of Gen Z Republicans. (www.city-journal.org/article/manh...) Tell me again about how Zohran Mamdani is the big threat to Jewish thriving in the US today.

One of the biggest pieces of racist shit from high school was a raging dipshits who spent his career in the Coast Guard. This tracks.

This is defeatist and not true. The root of this is the evil in the GOP. The Dems fumble and screw up all the time and many need to be primaried. But this isn’t a Dem created insurance increase.

Primary Schumer.

I thought this one was supposed give close.

Im curious if anyone has a chart or something that shows how much benefit people will lose based on income and family size. Many of us likely know people about to lose at least a month of SNAP benefits. They are gonna need support.

Trust me, most of us saw the Tea Party for what it really was.

“Not to doom but this is suboptimal.” Look I get the insinuation - but this doom with no analysis is playing into the hands of this administration. And when you break it down, this actually doesn’t seem suboptimal. It may actually be fine.

We aren’t Russia. He’s not Orbán and we aren’t Hungry. This shits not popular. They are weak. We just have to show unity and strength.

Some perspective: The ACA part of the shutdown fight is a little less than 0.1% of GDP. Or ~0.5% of the federal budget. It's in same ballpark as cost of Trump's estate tax cut. It's much less than Elon Musk's potential $1 trillion compensation package.

I don’t know why this isn’t obvious to people. Rage about the harm done, yeah! And weep if you need to weep. But to believe these people will win in the end is just self-harm, AND lazy to boot.

Thats the thing. At some point, our energy is better spent planning for how we reverse this.

But it’s two points. 1. Fine. Good job following norms. 2. This shit should have been all over the news. He should have been linked to Trump and the admin should have fun with it. Total failure to recognize the risk to our nation. Weak.

This is where I know I lean towards being a moderate. You have to proportionately punish bad behavior and evil doing regardless of who is doing it. Coddling it only allows it to keep wedging its way back in until suddenly the bad over powers the good/neutral.

I mean, honestly, now we have to actually wonder if those people yelling were right all along…because the regime went ahead and did what you feared they would. They can now take away our rights because they had the cover of law back when the law was a thing.

This is where the Never Trumper conservatives always get it wrong. Look - your current viewpoint is great. But just like Tom Nichols does, you miss many of us saw where your party was headed under Bush 2.0. You still act like we were wrong or alarmist. Kilmeade deserves scorn and to be banished

Brilliant.

And I have to say - my son doesn’t tolerate of this crap. He reports people. He calls them out. It’s not all kids this age and it just takes stamina to push it back down.

I think about this issue a lot. Cops. ICE. The Military.

Elon murdered little kids.

I need all of #lawsky to see this video from a Colorado appeals court livestream yesterday. I am in actual tears. Sound *incredibly* on, the subtitles will not help.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

It’s really easy to fall down this trap door. I’ve watch my professional colleagues do this on a fairly wide scale where I find myself needing to educate expertise professionals on what used to be basic principles people knew and knew well.

I’m pretty sure Biden and his team should have gotten out six months to a year before they did. But I’m wondering if Amanda here even knows how often men over 70 are screened for prostate cancer, when was Biden’s last scan, and the science behind his cancer’s progression?

We can act all edgy and “out of fucks to give.” But without some of these voters coming over, who knows what happens in 2028. This speaks to his selective hearing, to media framing, and to Dem messaging. His bottom line seemed to be the cost of living - doubt he’s alone.
