Blowing OUT through the carbon filter? Not pulling IN?

I’m sure they have plenty of employees we don’t see who aren’t journalists.

In addition to the people we DO see who also aren’t journalists.

It’s this attitude that makes it a Republican shutdown.

Elections have consequences, Republicans did NOT get the 60 votes they need. They NEED to offer something to get 9 Democrats to vote with them.

By saying they aren’t willing to negotiate, THEY are shitting down the government.

When they say “Trump derangement syndrome” it always makes me think of the deranged shit that Trump does. Like trying to start wars with Iran and Venezuela and then practically demanding the Nobel peace prize.

In both cases, no one is taking our jobs. The ruling class is using both immigrants and AI to suppress our wages.

I think there’s an argument that they’ve been slowly committing one since 1948 or even prior, but things have accelerated recently and the world seems to actually be aware of it now.

When Republicans obstructed under Obama, it looked like a Republican shutdown because Obama intended to reach bipartisan compromise, they just didn’t want him to accomplish anything of value.

This looks like a Republican shutdown because Trump announced at the beginning that they would NOT negotiate with Democrats at all and they should just vote for the Republican bill “just because”.

This is the only time the Democrats have had leverage during the second Trump administration, so Trump needed to find some concessions to get their votes, and instead announced that he would give none. That’s why this is the Trump shutdown.

Did it actually leak?

His mask conceals his identity to protect his family.

I got to the final heart boss exactly one time and I can’t see any way that I would ever defeat it given it has 750HP and some other insane buffs.

Nice. This guy would rather crash in the Mediterranean than make an emergency landing and be held accountable for his war crimes.

This is an interesting move especially since he’s so buddy buddy with the tech CEOs.

I’m curious what these exceptions are and whether they already know how to exploit them.

I’ve never liked seeing tech companies abuse the H1B process, but I always thought it was better than outsourcing.

At least with H1B, you’re competing against someone who has to pay rent and taxes and grocery prices in the US.

If they don’t also tariff outsourcing, companies could just do more of that.

Was he fired though or was his show suspended until further notice?

Still a big risk to take. We need progressives to win at least the next two elections to have any shot at winding back the damage from two Trump administrations and a largely impotent Biden administration.

But I agree that if she wins the primary, that’s the part that really matters and what Harris was missing.

Most of his impunity comes from control of Congress. Clear proof of him being a pedophile maybe doesn’t make a difference to some MAGAs on social media, but it does make a difference to some of his supporters who actually believe themselves to be righteous Christians. The megachurch pastors already understand that Trump is a crook and pedophile, but they can currently deflect by saying there is no proof. If there IS proof, they may have to change their tune to retain credibility with their flock. Then you’ll suddenly have some contested congressional seats during the midterms.

I had to watch the Kimmel clip twice because I didn’t hear anything controversial. These fascists are making themselves look foolish with this shit.

I certainly wouldn’t claim that political violence only happens on one side, but to me it’s clear how we got here. It was the right who celebrated minorities being murdered by the police. It was the right who attempted a violent coup and then defended and ultimately celebrated the pardons of the people who planned and executed said coup. The right voted for a man who spreads hate and incites violence every time he opens his mouth three times. They are responsible for this dangerous and violent reality we live in now. By pardoning domestic terrorists, it sends a message that the right supports using violence to obtain their political goals.

Does anyone have a link? Not seeing one in this thread

The guy is part of the administration that went after people over the “Gulf of America” name change. He knows there will be consequences if something is missed.

I’m not sure it even matters because anyone who isn’t his supporter already knows and anyone who IS probably believes in alternative facts instead.
