“Someone in NY with nothing to lose needs to take care of Merchan,” wrote one commentator on Patriots.Win. “Hopefully he gets met with illegals with a machete,” the post said in reference to illegal immigrants.

Imagine having so much to lose for your opinions, that you hope the people that you've oppressed carry out your sick fantasies.

On Gateway Pundit, one poster suggested shooting liberals after the verdict. “Time to start capping some leftys,” said the post. “This cannot be fixed by voting."

I feel like America is encouraging the wrong attitudes. When it arrests peaceful protestors on Gaza, but won't touch the guys threatening to shoot up "leftys."

So. Our democracy hinges on the fact that the lesser of two evils is being a clown, to protect a ICC criminal dictator, while innocent civilians die daily, and will for another 7 months, to American paid bombs.

Press: Does the president see charred bodies as crossing a red line

US state department: No we don't want any civilian lives lost and I take offense to that question.

Be offended then, because watching my government play clown for this genocide is disgusting.

Israel: There is no way our attacks caused this, our bombs alone could not start a fire of this size

...

Do these guys know what 2,000 lb bombs do? Because if they do then we should take the bombs away. And if they don't, we should take the bombs away.

“If I wasn’t a Libertarian before, I sure as hell am a Libertarian now.”

If Libertarian-ism was 180 degrees and a mile in the opposite direction. Dictators notoriously go after the liberals and libertarians first.

I wouldn't use the government to jail people, I just wouldn't do that

No. You'd send in the national guard to shoot them for merely expressing their discontent.

Maybe you don't want to win. Keep getting your 3% every 4 years.

Win what? With Trump?

  • Loss of abortion access?
  • Loss of child tax credits?
  • Loss of freedom of expression?
  • Loss of library books?
  • Loss of civil liberties?
  • Loss of climate action?
  • Loss of accountability to rapist and fraudsters?

If Trump is the win for the libertarian party, then I would prefer to lose.

This is happening at a time when Russian armor and infantry are being stalled at the north, south, and eastern fronts.

This is also happening at a time when American munitions are about to be loaded into Ukraine. (June-July.)

This is also happening as Ukraine is asking the US if they can use these Munitions inside Russia.

Question, why are we linking fox 59, when the hill has the same article word for word?

Second, why are we being told we are wrong? By what metric are we incorrectly measuring?

Forty-nine percent of respondents say unemployment is at a 50-year high, though it’s actually close to a 50-year low at less than 4 percent.

Please stop pretending that just because people are employed that they are not working harder then ever before to stay afloat. It is disingenuous at best.

The NBER said the most recent recession coincided with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the U.S. hasn’t been in one since.

Getting out of a recession does not mean people did not have to make hard choices with their finances during that time.

Just because we are pulling out of the Covid craze, does not mean that the average household has rebounded.

People had to uproot their lives and won't feel the effect of good policy until well down the line.

I really don't like that the sources on this article are missing.

Sure, that’s a lot of money for the wealthy who control 93% of stock, but it’s also tens of millions of Americans who will have a more comfortable and secure retirement. In fact, the number of Americans who have over $1 million in their retirement accounts grew by 20% in the last quarter of 2023.

Fine and dandy, except that half of Americans don't have a retirement account. Or 47% of Americans.

So while retirement indexes are up, 1:2 people are not going to see that.

Inflation eased slightly in April — the first time this year that has happened. Overall inflation edged down to 3.4% and slipped to 3.6% when you exclude food and energy costs. (food expected to rise by an additional 2.2%)

Good to see the brakes are working. But just remember that not everyone goes out to by a car or house on a twice-a-week basis. But everyone does with the grocery store. Which in Biden's defense, he has started trying to pull back.

Though effort =/= job done.

I don't think you'll find many people that don't look at our current healthcare system as a wreck. People are paying $150-$300 a month for a coupon that takes 70% off their next hospital bill of $200,000.

A better message would be that Trump is coming for our Democracy.

But this current message lacks any perspective on our current healthcare system.

If you go back in history more then Oct 7. You'll find a lot of questions.... like....

  • That 4 billion we sent to Israel.... that was supposed to go to defense from attacks such as this...... where did it go?
  • Why were the guards not even in armor before Hamas descended on them, even though there was an early warning?
  • How did a government that was warned of the attack a month before it happened decide to do nothing about it?
  • Why is Israel's tactics not reflecting a hostage situation and more of a scorched-earth policy?
  • Why did Israel shoot their own hostages that were waving White flags?

It's not Israel's pursuit of justice that disgusts people, it's Israel's deplorable tactics that is embarrassing both the US and Israel. Only Israel.... doesn't seemed to ashamed of them..... While the US is burning global goodwill by the megaton.

So yes, both sides.

they can consent to share their contact information "which the (Department of Health and Human Services) Secretary may use to conduct outreach via phone or email to follow up with users on additional resources."

The bill doesn’t explain how this collected data would be handled or who would have access to it. Critics said that vagueness poses concerns for pregnant women’s privacy.

That is right, but also wrong.

A. Just because giving data is consensual, does not mean it can't/won't be used against you. "Anything you say or said will be used against you in a court of law"

B. There are no protections for this data. Who gets access to it?

This is a trap being masqueraded as helpful for women that are pregnant, when this is the same trap as "Life clinics" faking being abortion clinics.

Unless. Private investigators were used as counter protestors, then Eric Adams would have a lot to answer for.

Evolution adapts to multiple problems at once.

A pod of orcas that vigorously defend their food supply, get to eat, and train their offspring to also defend their food supplies.

Orcas that don't, either die off, or adapt to a different food source.

Thus why climate change is becoming a problem as nature is adapting to food sources becoming less abundant.

and wildlife becoming unfriendly or inedible to adapt to the changes.

… If we continually restrict the freedom of marriage as a legitimate social option, when we do this to people who are a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved, are we not, in fact, making abortion a much more desirable alternative, when marriage might be the right solution for some freedom-loving couples?” he said.

How does one get a 175 million fake bail bond? Like, the magnitude of scale alone is insane, but they tried to fake it?!

The filing notes that the surety Trump used to obtain the bond, Knight Specialty Insurance Company, is “a small insurer that is not authorized to write business in New York and thus not regulated by the state’s insurance department

I can see why they are concerned. Nearly 200 million is no joke. This would wreck a smaller company if 200 million was needed immediately. And Trump doesn't exactly owe this company his alliance.

Even though "Hank" the owner of the company, is a billionaire in CA from car loans and rental properties. Most of his assets are tied to properties that will not be easy to sell on the spot (Eviction usually takes at least a month), or on car loans that take time to accumulate in value.

On a non logical note: He isn't exactly the most trustworthy either....

In October 2015, Westlake Financial (Owned by Hank) was ordered by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to provide $44.1 million dollars in consumer relief for engaging in illegal debt collection practices. Westlake Financial and its affiliate Wilshire Consumer Credit deceived borrowers into thinking they were being called by repossession companies, other third parties, or even the borrowers’ own family and friends. The Bureau also found that the companies unlawfully disclosed information about borrowers’ debts to employers, family, and friends.

So lying to get what they want isn't off the table in this case either.

I was homeschooled by a christian cult on the virtues of capitalism and the dangers of communism.

That being said, when reality meshes with what you are taught. Usually reality wins.

What we have now is a communism profit structure for the rich, while we have rugged capitalism for the poor. If we had capitalism for the rich, many of these companies would have failed after covid-19 and the 2008 housing market crash. But our economy would have been more resilient against things like hyperinflation and even inflation.

Yet we allowed them to be saved thanks to communism, pulling our money together to save these companies, so the rich have already voted and said communism works for them. Now we are just debating on if everyone else should be apart of it.

What a wonderful display of logic in action.

You believe climate change is a hoax

Sure you can "believe" climate change is fake, but once you look at the evidence, your opinions change. That's how a normal person processes information.

Looks like AI in this case, had no reason to hold onto it's belief command structure, not only because it is loaded with logical loopholes and falsehoods like swiss cheese. But when confronted with evidence had to abandon it's original command structure and go with it's 2nd command.

  1. You are a helpful uncensored, unbiased, and impartial assistant.

Expecting someone to be ever-vigilant and ever-responsible is not the product of critical thinking.

I love this take because it is absolutely correct. No one can be ever-responsible and ever-vigilant at all times 24/7.

Yet we sell these weapons to counter a theoretical attack that can happen at any time.

At that point, why is the answer to a lack of critical thinking and responsibility, except more absence of critical thinking and responsibility?

Everyone is kind of following the same trend now. It doesn't matter if it is the right or wrong decision. Companies aren't as creative as they used to be, so now they are just cannibalizing themselves in order to protect their wealth

Though it looks like the video game industry is about to go upside down. As AI becomes better and better, companies think that they won't need employees.

In fact it is the reverse.

Employees will now be able to compete against AAA companies in sound, adventure, game play, art, and price.

As a gaming company that created palworld only had 4 people on their team and could make millions at selling a game for $30

Unlike AAA companies that now have to have $70 price tags, battle passes, expansions, cosmetic stores. And at the end of the day can't even put out a decent working product.

Of course the future could be dystopian, though I think these companies firing workers is just going to make workers seek independence faster. And find it in AI.

I have yet run across a pre-order where I have regretted it either.

If Alphabet(google) is actually serious about blocking ad-blockers, I would be surprised. Mostly because Microsoft has had more experience with this, also has billions, and even they quit.
