The counterpoint here is that most brain rot liberals screech endlessly about Trump and did not care one bit about Hunter Biden's influence-peddling nor Nancy Pelosi's insider trading.

ย 

If there was any ideological consistency then maybe there would be a point to be had here. But when the response is "BUT TRUMP!" as a deflection for objectively bad behavior, then you're just going to get unpunished corruption from both sides.

ย 

In a just world, Pelosi would be in jail for life. Instead she is exerting influence even outside of leadership and making sure that the Democrats remain a gerontocracy.

Idk, democrats were immediately willing to give up Cuomo and Menendez for their corruption. Whileย Paxton is still the attorney general of Texas.ย 
ย 

Obviously there is corruption on both sides. But you don't feel like Trump's corruption is openly excessive? And that Republicans should call him out for it? Comparing Pelosi owning stock, which is currently legal, to Trump trying to end a constitutional right through executive order seems like comparing apples to grenades. Republicans did push back on Trump during his first administration, but this time around they aren't even willing to disagree with himย

For months I've requested Bluesky links on HQ to no response because they're dealing with bigger problems such as no response from Invision regarding a forum reboot. There's been delays for Reddit from stories broken on X and Bluesky up to several hours.

ย 

But now that I have a mod openly questioning my intentions here and accusing me of spreading misinformation despite it just being an observation from Rand Paul, shared by AOC, and they've both lied on numerous issues so it comes down to who's worse - all this despite still working with a mod that spread misinfo during Covid - I don't really care what happens. I'm going to keep doing my thing in good faith and keep it moving even if this place becomes the Wild West.

I'm glad you have the privilege to only worry about this scenario first and foremost when I'm here worrying about one of my friends whose parents immigrated here 30 years ago losing citizenship and being sent to Korea with her parents :deadbanana2:ย 

Think even Trump ( yes I know, I know) wasn't proposing loss of birthright citizenship be retrospective ( as long as parents were legal immigrants). ย 
ย 

(I have no idea of course about your friend's individual circumstances).

Cuomo and Menendez were both long, drawn-out battles. Cuellar has been under indictment for ties to Azerbaijan and there's been nothing but crickets on that front.

ย 

Merrick Garland obviously didn't agree that Trump was corrupt, or criminal in any way. If he did, he wouldn't have laid off of him for well over a year and a half, only deciding to wade into the waters when it was literally politically untenable for him to continue doing absolutely nothing. Democrats have shown very clearly they don't believe Trump is the corrupt threat they say he is during campaign season.

ย 

DEMOCRATS aren't willing to disagree with him either. The Laken Riley Act passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. Marco Rubio was confirmed 99-0 while War Criminal Blinken (who would go on to oversee and cheerlead the worst genocide the American government has had involvement with since the Trail of Tears) had over 20 Nay votes. Pretty much every Trump cabinet appointee will have Fetterman's support too, and now liberals are pontificating about how we need more Fettermans willing to buck the party establishment TO SUPPORT REPUBLICAN POSITIONS in the Senate. They're not even pretending to resist anymore. They're literally rolling over and playing dead.

ย 

Who was comparing Pelosi's stock trading to Trump wanting to end Birthright Citizenship? Certainly not me. The analog here would most definitely be Martha Stewart, who was sent to jail for doing literally what Pelosi gets away with doing until she got pardoned by Trump. Just like Hunter Biden's closest comparison would be Jared Kushner + Ivanka, who were admittedly much more closely embedded and involved in Trump's first term.

I just KNOW they're in there defending it

The way the nazi Salut was the easiest way for the demons to denounce their support of elons action but instead chose to defend and excuse it tells me these aren't real people. I refuse to believe they walk and think like us.ย 

They're in a whole other dimension. They are fully intent on being as evil as they can. Little by little, works done by civil rights activists are being undone by Trump his cohorts of devils see something that brings pain and suffering to non whites, present it to him and he accepts. Instantlyย

That salute was the real test. They wanted to see if it'll be defended and excused.ย 

ย 

This is gonna get so so so much worseย

I mean, this would save the average taxpayer, what, a couple cents per year? Trump is literally just giving him inconsequential side quests at this point :rip:

I know Meta is making people auto follow the @VP and @POTUS accounts but I have a friend I've been side eyeing politics-wise that I noticed just started following @realdonaldtrump which is NOT linked to @POTUS so I'm trying to figure out if it was deliberate or not... signs pointing to yes meaning I've lost a friendย :noparty:

ย 

Worst part is it's her birthday this weekend and I'm gonna have to grit my teeth through it before I ghost/confront (not sure which route to take yet... I have very little energy or patience left)

Update: Trumpie confirmed. She can eat rocksย :heart:

Jared Polis's weird obsession with eliminating the penny has him saying it'll save ~300M/year, so we'llย almostย get a dollar each. Maybe we can save that up for a few decades and use it to get one more F-15EX for "free"ย :suburban:

I don't disagree. I think Democratic primary voters are going to just want diet Republicans and then they will lose the general election to the real Republicans (because they're too stupid to realize that when faced with two choices that are more or less the same, they'll go with the more authentic choice in the end). And that will be the general pattern moving forward.

On the bright side, with Fetterman cozying up to MAGA, at least we can rule out his 2028 run

Is there a chance that he's just signing **** and many of these executive orders won't actually be operationalized....looking for a little hope here
