America’s Israel First policy has really taken shape in the past several years. Both Biden and Trump are wholly complicit in sacrificing our sovereignty for Israel, and it’s absolutely pathetic.
My money’s on Iran but China is always in contention for this coveted distinction.
Us vs Them isn’t red vs blue, it’s the rich donors vs their productive workers. The vast majority of Republicans and Democrats are actually on the same “side.”
Developing class consciousness is one of the few ways out of this mess.
Brain worm is taking over his already feeble mind.
Get Elong the fuck out of our retirement funds, daFUQ?!
Gee, it’s almost as if all that bribe money ehhem I mean campaign finance donations have corrupted and shackled the Dems into consistently losing strategies.
That is a dismally low bar which Biden tripped over and Kamala could hardly clear. It obviously wasn’t enough.
Pretty sure it’s illegal for them to knowingly finance terrorists. The egregious pardons don’t change the facts of the matter at the time of Jan 6, it was an armed insurrection which resulted in loss of life and property.
He’s just going to get ketchup and Big Mac grease all over the priceless historical document…what’s the big deal?!
Yep. Impeach because it’s the right thing to do, and get all the Repugs on record defending the Traitor Trump.
Welcome to lemmy, have fun!
This would be such a great protest action, if only Dems had half a brain and could organize themselves. Unfortunately their donors are giving money to republicans this cycle, so without those people telling Dems what to do, they simply don’t have any plan. It’s truly pathetic.
Alternatively, all Dems could have stayed completely absent from this joint address. Having their half of the aisle totally empty and just leaving it to the Republican pep rally it was would have been more powerful than the stupid stickers.
Or, pick one or two egregious things Trump said, and have 10-12 top Dems go on all the news shows the following day to lambast him. “These bastards are cutting funding for cancer research! Why don’t they want us to find cures for cancer?!” Not only is this a true and valid criticism of the irresponsible cuts, this would make a huge wave in the media if a bunch of them did it at the same time, but they’re just too damn feckless.
Here’s the thing though: the end goal of all this madness is a $4.5 trillion tax cut for the rich. That’s literally all Trump wants to do, in addition to grifting millions for himself along the way. Guess who is an incredibly rich body due to their rampant insider trading (legal for them btw), and insane level of corrupt bribe money flowing in? Yep, the Dems. So perhaps they’re incentivized to not fight back too hard on this agenda after all.
The 2025 earnings tax cap for social security is $176k.
If those richest among us, like Elon who makes billions per year, had to pay social security tax on a larger percentage of their earnings, or on all of it like those of us making less than $176k annually, the system would easily be solvent in perpetuity. The only reason it’s potentially at risk is because rich assholes have lobbied successfully in order to not pay into it.
Your taxes will be going up unless you’re making in excess of $400k per year. Only the very richest are getting tax cuts, and those will be massive cuts. This is the actual primary goal of this admin, make no mistake.
Chromebooks are straight up hostile towards attempts at repairs, maintenance, or upgrades. It’s wild, they really went the extra mile towards rampant consumerism.
You running it on bare metal? Much better that way vs docker in my experience
