That’s why I’m glad to be an old fart. The only thing different for me in 10 years is that I’ll give even fewer fucks.

I feel more sorry for those kids because they had Charlie Kirk as a father in the first place. I have no sympathy whatsoever for anyone that would marry that asshole.

Don’t equate Democrats with the left. The Democrats also sat on those files for the entire Biden presidency. The whole reason Epstein didn’t sink Trump way back in 2016 is that Democrats were protecting Bill Clinton and almost certainly other powerful figures in the Democrat establishment. Blue MAGA isn’t that different from red.

As president, Bill Clinton benefitted from pretty much the entirety of the Internet boom. He had nothing to do with that great economy, but he did help set the gears in motion for the 2008 mortgage crisis. He also took advantage of the great economy to dismantle or cripple most of the federal safety net programs and kneecap unions.

I dunno about soda, but washing down Oreos with Guinness is fucking amazing.

I obviously grasp the injustice, but I can’t imagine what the basis of a class action would be. If you agree to buy a product for $5 and they supply said product, the courts aren’t going to care if their cost for it was $4 or $2. There is no constitutional right to suppliers with low profit margins.

It’s not Donny’s money. What will happen is that importers will pass the tariffs onto consumers, as they pretty much have to, then the tariffs will be overturned and the money given back to importers, thus robbing regular people once again and transferring wealth to the capitalists.

Hey, they’re just asking questions!

It really doesn’t matter. The oligarchs that weren’t installing Republican fascists were ratfucking the Democratic party. They are as responsible for Trump as anyone. When the whole economy became a scam, it was inevitable that the country would fall to a scam artist.

Were you fucking born yesterday? This is the same exact rhetoric of empty promises we get every time they sweep up the homeless, and it never ever happens. Where is all this housing? Where are the shelters going to come from? Has Newsom secured any funding for these assistance programs? Did he bother asking the homeless people why they weren’t already in shelters? Gawd damn, you only see this level of ignorance and arrogance in two places, red and blue MAGA. You’ve polluted this entire thread with you’re nonsense.

None of what I said had was commentary on the article. I was responding to a comment. I’m already quite familiar with Newsom’s track record. He’s just another establishment lizard person who should be laughed out of the presidential primary.

Science is a subdiscipline of philosophy.

Fuck him with a garden rake for running for President. The Democratic party will not survive another President of that mold. If he wins, get ready for President Stephen Miller and the end of all things in 2032.

It’s well more than half. Every Republican voter who isn’t an oligarch is politically illiterate, but the same can be said for most Democratic voters too. That’s how we ended up with the current Democratic leadership crisis.

Interesting point, but what on earth is it doing here? This post and the comment you replied to have fuck all to do with third parties. Is this going to just be the standard boiler plate reply to every criticism of the Democrats? “Yeah but Jill Stein…”

You don’t have to be a fan of Jill Stein or even third party politics to recognize how poorly the Democratic establishment has squared up against this administration. It’s certainly something worth addressing for up-coming primaries if we want candidates who can pull back third party voters. Shoving it under the rug isn’t going to make it go away, and will ultimately lead to more third party voters.

My assault charges? I said it was assault, not that assault would be the right charge. What I said is minor charges.

I’m not sure why you think you have to tell me about ICE and the Trump presidency. I’m pretty sure I made my position on that clear. You aren’t engaging in conversation or argument, you are ranting. Not that I don’t get why.

There is no “may”. It is absolutely an assault. Assault doesn’t even require physical contact. Battery is arguable and might be a stretch, but it is definitely assault. And no, or was not self defense by any stretch.

As I said though, that’s normal times stuff. I don’t currently recognize Trump’s ICE as a legitimate law enforcement agency, or human beings really.

Yeah, calling it terrorism is bullshit, and actually could itself be considered terrorism in my opinion.

It’s still assault, and in normal times I’d support minor charges. Currently, I’d like to buy the guy a new sandwich.

Yep, that’s a big part of it. Even the good things Democrats did like the ACA were also designed to funnel more wealth upwards.

The liberals stopped worrying about the little guy and soon after stopped even talking to the little guy. Then the little guy stopped voting for Democrats. Fascists however are always ready to fill that vacuum. They don’t do shit for the little guy, but they do make him feel heard.
