You know it’s bad for Reddit when people were even talking about going back to Digg

In my experience, the higher up you go in both parties, you tend to sort of arrive at the same places with the same people… and most importantly, the same donors and the same money machine. That’s the great thing about the U.S. dollar really, corruption and selling Govt from Citizens United to today sort of drives the bipartisan nature of it because it all greases the wheels of the two party political machine.

I’ve listened to several episodes of his podcast… I’ll probably continue listening but in the first episode Newsom basically kept saying he only got into college because his scores were low and he played baseball. Then he kept backing down to Charlie Kirk, Bannon, etc, while constantly saying he doesn’t know what to do and kept asking them for ideas. In the first episode, there was a moment where he said Jesus Fucking Christ or something to Charlie Kirk, which called him out on it. It’s like, the very voters he’s trying to go after will hear that and stop at the first episode. He will gain no allies on the right as he abandons the party he is supposed to believe in, along with the core values he is supposed to defend. He thinks having a podcast with right wing guests where he gets sort of transactional on the issues. Like, do you think giving up the trans in sports debate is going to win you anything when their entire side would like to see gay marriage go away entirely? While you claim to still even support that? Do these people even think any of this through?

If Newsoms approach is the best the Democrats have to offer, then it might be game over for a very long time…

It’s measured in cheeseberders and sacarmuccis

Noriega has really been asking for it. Is this surprising?

It’s just another problem with the mechanics of the snap at the end of Avengers: Endgame

You would think the GOP and right wing in the U.S. would have put the main culture war issue behind us after Barack Obama and the Roberts Supreme Court told them it’s all good now… But here we are…

“Please subscribe to continue operating your vehicle”

Multi-Billionaire Warren Buffett said, “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”

What’s the problem, it seems to be appropriately sized for Little Marco

You can’t datamine everyone and sell it off as completely as you can with an app running locally on the device. Browser apps are far less profitable across the board. It’s all about money.

If the standard is replicating human level intelligence and behavior, making up shit just to get you to go away about 40% of the time kind of checks out. In fact, I bet it hallucinates less and is wrong less often than most people you work with

The movie wasn’t very good either

He may not be elected but he paid the guy who got elected a ton of money, so that’s basically the same as being elected… Right? Right?!?

Ask not what your immune system can do for you, but what you can do for your immune system

The entire system wants you to forget about Luigi and the entire issue. Sort of memory hole it like so many other things and let them punish him in secret. So it’s no surprise Reddit and others will try to Streisand it.

This is a truly insane story and a very real example of an authoritarian police state. He is being arrested for expressing his opinion, which is not a crime, and the police will not state which crime he is accused of committing, only that due to his freedom of expression and speech, the State Department was told to revoke his visa. Which apparently puts someone into a nightmare situation of being transported to a private prison in another state while waiting to be deported. Which might be able to all be done without ever charging him with a crime, much less proving anything in a court of law. The only thing is the false accusation he is a Hamas supporter of some kind, which itself isn’t even a crime unless you send them money. Being against a genocide or forced exodus is not about being for the government of the place being targeted. It’s a false equivalence. In fact, in the United States, you have the right to support reprehensible groups like Hamas. Just ask the State Department, Mossad, the CIA and others, who for many years financially supported them as they ran Palestine. Obviously this changed after October 7th, but it’s still a fact. Now you have this guy being targeted like a police state with no rights at all and who knows what will happen to him now.

It also says a lot that New York allowed him to be taken to Louisiana and put in a private prison without any charges being filed. I guess ICE can just do that without the normal process of an arrest and extradition. This of course would have required actually charging him with a crime. Rubio said it has to do with his reprehensive support of Hamas, which isn’t proven, then he went on to try to pin awful things Hamas has done on him. Even if he does support Hamas, which is wrong to do, it’s still an administration that is trying to bring back the nazi salute, saying you can’t openly support an anti-israeli regime. So much for the Constitution. And by the way, even on a student visa, just by virtue of being in this country you are afforded certain protections under the Constitution and due process must be one of those. Where’s the crime?

Canada needs a Dennis Rodman to send over to try to get the hostages back like Obama did with North Korea

It’s so obvious the democratic party lied about Biden to get through the nomination phase and used the fact that the money already donated for the campaign was specifically to Biden or Harris and would not have easily been given over to any other new candidate. You do have to wonder, especially after how Trump was greeted by them, just what actually happened here. The fact is that the truth about Bidens condition should have been known, he should have decided not to run, and the Democratic party should’ve had a real primary for real candidates and new ideas. Tim Walz was as bad of a VP pick as Tim Kaine. The white guy as VP to shore up the right wing vote is a total myth. Biden was kind of the first one, then Tim Kaine, then Tim Walz. It just doesn’t work. Neither will Newsoms podcast attempt at finding common ground which he hopes will translate into moderate votes. Democrats really have no clue just how bad things are about to get…
