  1. It gives them a mechanism to re-segregate their schools. More expensive school == fewer non-whites to sully your precious little angel
  2. for fucking real, that's the offline version of "noCR!!!" I am beginning to hear it more and more from boomer family members that are suddenly remembering how happy they were and told everyone they were about trump winning.
  3. Socially, we are much closer to Weimar Germany than post-bolshevik Russia. We are snapping from a (relatively) progressive and democratic government to an autocracy controlled by a dictatorial ruler and governed by hand-picked lieutennants.
  4. Crazy to go back to 2022 when this was fresh. Lotta wailing and gnashing of teeth whenever trump was mentioned, along with how glad we are that he wasn't undermining Ukraine's defense. It is fucking crazy town how badly trump is rolling over for putin. I can't believe our country elected a man who is so in love with dictators and evil people. That choice is going to ripple through decades of history and forever stain us.
  5. I can think of a few reasons we may not have the expertise or capacity for such a thing....
  6. the DNC leadership is too busy sucking on their teeth and trading stock to care
  7. that's gonna be the inflation thread in a month or two
  8. My guy, I'm not lionizing him. I'm saying it's fucked that an injured veteran is being denied his legal due process for no reason besides being brown. You're pleased as punch that you have a reason to be happy to overlook it. I didn't cherry pick this story either, Stars and Stripes - the US military's own newspaper - picked this story.
  9. Lol the corrupt politicians can use crypto too, it turns out! https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/argentine-presidents-promotion-of-crypto-rocks-his-presidency-c747a0ae https://apnews.com/article/argentina-milei-cryptocurrency-fraud-charges-3f572a5f294d7c25437a08151798b917 Milei is being investigated for launching and immediately rugpulling a cryptocurrency. Our president did the exact same thing and is only gaining power and influence.
  10. bit of an overshare, champ (black diamond)
  11. It's almost like they're just using their christianity as a mechanism to launder their ultranationalism, or something
  12. I grew up riding 16 hours in a car to visit my aunt and grandad and ski in Crested Butte every winter. Jokerville was my first BD! Man, I am smiling ear to ear. Thanks for the shot of nostalgia
  13. Pretty funny - it's ROTS dubbed in English... translated from a bootleg Chinese copy lol. Sounds like early 2000's internet talk
  14. My wife has been itching to play The Sims again and didn't want to deal with a desktop computer, but surprise surprise her M2 backbook air runs those games like a CHAMP! It's pretty amazing how much a "basic" computer can play if you're looking to play games that are 10+yrs old
  15. Payouts to donors and their companies. Same shit as a toilet seat costing $10,000 to the army. Buying thousands of trump bibles, or brand new textbooks with slavery and the Civil Rights era erased. Easily steered contracts with little to no oversight controlled by people looking to profit, not further the mission.
  16. You could just say you're happy about the cruelty and get it over with
  17. And please don't derail the thread @52-80 and give the mods a reason to do your dirty work and remove this thread.
  18. Lol there you go again, making shit up and putting words in my mouth. Conflating the epidemic of school shootings with a service member's PTSD from deployment is a new one for me. Look man, I know if it doesn't fit on a chart you have trouble understanding things. Maybe leave your penthouse sometime and observe the world from the ground floor.
  19. It's almost like we have an entirely different justice system depending on how rich or poor your are, or something.
  20. Wow what a completely unpredictable and unforeseeable outcome of trump becoming president
  21. Hey man, I'm just posting the headline that our armed forces newspaper went with. Take it up with our service members if you don't like it. Some other details you seem to have forgotten from the article: Nevermind that he had PTSD from his second tour in Iraq and suffered a flashback, and was following the rules with citizenship and got early parole, deport that brown man!!!! Cruelty is the point, after all. And besides shouldn't the oligarchs call all the shots anyways?? They're the ones with the economic interest, so they should be the deciders. Fuck the law amirite? The president alone interprets that!
  22. To make up for my last post, here's the white house Twitter account posting ASMR deportation. Pure uncut deportation cruelty. And yes, it's real.
  23. It's not deportation, but it's definitely cruelty. Another win for the """good guys""" https://www.latintimes.com/11-year-old-texas-girl-bullied-over-familys-immigration-status-takes-her-own-life-575984 Jocelynn Rojo Carranza took her life after experiencing months of relentless bullying from her sixth grade classmates over her family's immigration status, with some students even threatening to contact the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). On February 3, Carranza's single mother, Marbella Carranza, received a call notifying her that her daughter had attempted to take her life inside the family's home in Gainesville, Texas. Her 11-year-old daughter was rushed to an intensive care unit in Dallas but died on February 8, according to a GoFundMe page. "I waited a whole week for a miracle that my daughter would be well, but unfortunately nothing could be done," Marbella told Univision. "My daughter will always live for me, and I will always love her." The Gainesville Intermediate School was aware Carranza was being bullied and mocked by students who told the young girl she would be left alone when her parents got deported. It had gotten so aggressive, Carranza was meeting with a school counselor multiple times a week. Her family, however, was never notified. Now, Marbella, who discovered her daughter was being bullied only after she died, is working with investigators and the school to determine exactly what happened and why the young girl's family wasn't made aware of what was happening.
  24. Well he did just sign an executive order that says he alone interprets the law, so I'm sure everything is gonna work out just fine
  25. Newest EO straight up says that the executive is responsible for interpreting the law https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/02/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-reins-in-independent-agencies-to-restore-a-government-that-answers-to-the-american-people/ I can't wait to see Roberts overturn Marbury v Madison to roll out the modern American version of the Enabling Act of 1933
