If ICE was a military, it would be the third most funded military in the world with this budget. Right behind US and China and about $50 billion more than Russia.
We are looking at concentration camps for real.
Ray Smuckles is still the king.
Achewood is such a classic. I have been waiting for that complete collection to release for like a decade.
The bootlickers literally dipped in pride of America when Trump was voted out. Became more prideful when he got back in.
They have no capacity for critical thinking or competent understanding of anything at all. A bunch of knuckle dragging idiots.
They've been hurting themselves in their confusion since Nixon, like hell they're going to stop now.
They literally don't understand systems, they only understand what happens to themselves directly. They are an entirely emotion-based political bloc.
We are in the endgame of dismantling science and education now.
Ha, that's pretty optimistic to think after all this that democracy and voting will still be part of the picture.
Fuck this backwards shithole country. Fuck me why does everything have to be so fucking awful.
Baron Munchausen from the Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Turning dreams into reality through relentless optimism. I have been broken by depression my whole life and in real life I feel much more like Sam Lowry from Brazil, about to lose my mind in the face of an endlessly brutal system where dreams always die.
Where I currently live there's literally no sidewalks to the nearest bus stop.
My guess is season 8ish because Ben Edlund, creator of The Tick was writing for the show from season 2 to season 8.
It's a "cold" civil war currently. And one side is just submitting and rolling over.
Oh but blue states not giving federal taxes over is "starting a civil war."
The civil war is already happening. Wake the fuck up people.
It's literally also how abusers speak to their abused spouses. "Look what you made me do to you."
could be seen as declaring civil war.
To anyone paying attention, we've been in a cold civil war since at least 2016, if not before that.
“We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday, and in spite of all of the injustice — which of course friends and audience of this show, of our friend Steve, know — we are going to prevail,” Mr. Roberts said, alluding to Mr. Bannon’s imprisonment.
He went on to say that “the radical left” was “apoplectic” because “our side is winning” and said, “And so I come full circle in this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
This is Kevin D. Roberts of the Heritage Foundation. Point one is that he promotes the idea that the second American Revolution will be "bloodless" only if the left allows it to be, and point two is he describes it as something that is in the process of happening. That means it has already started and has been in motion.
We didn't fire the first shot of the war here and I'm sick and fucking tired of the people acting like us pushing back is "declaring civil war." No the fuck it isn't they declared war on us decades ago now. What a fucking joke. This is classic DARVO, Deny Attack Reverse Victim and Offender. It turns the victims of a cold civil war into the aggressors when the actual aggressors literally passing bills that will fucking cause institutional social murder at a grand scale. It's abuser tactics, plain and simple, at a national level.
Please don't play into this false narrative, the civil war is on, us fighting back isn't declaring it. Please stop letting liars and abusers dictate the rules of reality and what we accept as truth. You're letting their lies set the bounds for how we operate and it's that kind of bullshit that got us here in the first place. Stop giving them deference and treating their falsehoods as truths.
EDIT: Trump literally just suggested if Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor of New York City that he will withhold federal funds. We didn't start this war. Any suggestion otherwise is bullshit.
Now, George was a good straight boy to begin with,\ but there was bad blood in him someway\ he got into the magic bullets and\ that leads straight to Devil's work\ just like marywanna leads to heroin\ You think you can take them bullets and leave 'em, do you?\ Just save a few for your bad days.\ well...
Well, now we all have those bad days when we can't hit for shit.
The more of them magics you use,\ the more bad days you have without them\ So it comes down to finally\ all your days being bad without the bullets\ It's magics or nothing.\ Time to stop chippying around and kidding yourself,\ kid, you're hooked, heavy as lead
And that's where old George found himself.\ Out there at the crossroads.\ molding the Devil's bullets.\ Now a man figures it's his bullets,\ so it'll hit what he wants to hit.\ But it don't always work out that way
You see, some bullets is special for a single aim.\ A certain stag, or a certain person\ And no matter where you aim, that's where the bullet will end up.\ And in the moment of aiming, the gun turns into a dowser's wand,\ and point where the bullet wants to go
(George Schmidt was moving in a series of convulsive spasms\ like someone in an epileptic fit\ with his face distorted, and his eyes wild, like a lassoed horse\ bracing his legs but something kept pulling him on.\ And now he is picking up the skulls and making the circle.)
I guess old George didn't rightly know what he was getting himself into,\ the fit was on him and it carried him right to the crossroads.

Until March 10th, the Tesla stock dropped dramatically to a low of $222.15, and the articles posted that day were reasonable. Honestly, it was lower last spring at $142.05 in April 2024. Everything after March 10th were not reasonable or reflective of reality.
As of today the stock sits at $287.99, nowhere near its peak but still overvalued as living fuck.
Yet somehow, we've had two fucking solid weeks of "Tesla stock dropping" news articles while the stock has been slowly creeping back up.
All those articles just serve as wishcasting for people who don't like Musk.
I fucking hate Musk, but what I hate more is ignoring reality around you. That's what MAGA idiots do.
I had the stupidest arguments with people who kept saying that it was rising didn't matter. Why not? He's still way up in terms of valuation from just a year ago, and it's still rising, no matter what bullshit fantasy we want to tell ourselves because we reasonably fucking hate Elon Musk.
Anyway, the stock is probably being juiced by Russia and Saudia Arabia. ¯\\\(ツ)\/¯
What follows are some examples:

>Lin said that the U.S. Institute for Peace called the D.C. police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the D.C. police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.
>Before the D.C. police arrived, the Musk team had tried for hours to enter the building. They attempted to enter on Friday, but that effort was unsuccessful.

Dear /c/Politics moderators: I am only posting this in the body because the direct link doesn't actually work as a direct link and just takes you to the top of the updates thread and you have to dig to find this two paragraph snippet. Please understand why I did this. I know the rule is not to do this but I hope you can make an exception in this case.
