HuddaBudda, to politics in Trump supporters call for riots and violent retribution after verdict
@HuddaBudda@kbin.social avatar

“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."

True, but I imagine it'll be hard to campaign across the nation with house arrest.

HuddaBudda, to politics in First Lady Jill Biden: "Those Polls Are Going To Turn," "Americans Are Going To Choose Good Over Evil"
@HuddaBudda@kbin.social avatar

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.

I wonder if we can move to Canada based on political asylum from Trump. Because if not, we are so fucked.

HuddaBudda, to world in US condemns loss of life, but says no policy changes after civilian deaths in Israeli strike in Rafah
@HuddaBudda@kbin.social avatar

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.

HuddaBudda, to politics in Trump, accustomed to friendly crowds, confronts repeated booing during Libertarian convention speech
@HuddaBudda@kbin.social avatar

“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.

HuddaBudda, to world in Exclusive: Putin wants Ukraine ceasefire on current frontlines
@HuddaBudda@kbin.social avatar

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.

HuddaBudda, to politics in Nearly 3 in 5 incorrectly believe US is in economic recession
@HuddaBudda@kbin.social avatar

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.

HuddaBudda, to politics in The economy is thriving under Biden. So why don’t Americans believe it?
@HuddaBudda@kbin.social avatar

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.

HuddaBudda, to politics in Biden says ICC move on arrest warrants for Israeli leaders "outrageous"
@HuddaBudda@kbin.social avatar

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.

HuddaBudda, to politics in Biden accuses Trump of 'coming for your health care' in new campaign ad
@HuddaBudda@kbin.social avatar

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.

HuddaBudda, to politics in Biden says ICC move on arrest warrants for Israeli leaders "outrageous"
@HuddaBudda@kbin.social avatar

here is no equivalence - none - between Israel and Hamas.

A week ago he is saying that Israel may have used bombs to commit human rights violations, suddenly that evidence doesn't exist?

Is the dementia hitting Biden that hard?

HuddaBudda, to politics in Greg Abbott declares open season on protesters in Texas
@HuddaBudda@kbin.social avatar

Those that make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable. - John F Kennedy 1962

I do hope no violence happens in Texas, I really do.

Though anyone who has picked up a history book knows how this ends. And usually forced to sit as a bystander as it happens.

HuddaBudda, to politics in Republicans want a database of pregnant people. In many ways, abortion surveillance is already here
@HuddaBudda@kbin.social avatar

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.

HuddaBudda, to world in Pro-Israel billionaires urged New York crackdown on Gaza protests: Report
@HuddaBudda@kbin.social avatar
  • CEO of Starbucks Howard Schultz,
  • Dell founder CEO Michael Dell,
  • Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman
  • Joshua Kushner
  • Brother of former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser on Middle East issues, Jared Kushner.
  • Other leaders, such as snack company founder Daniel Lubetzky,
  • hedge fund manager Daniel Loeb,
  • billionaire Len Blavatnik
  • real estate investor Joseph Sitt also said that they held a video meeting with Mayor Adams on April 26.

That's a lot of people that seem to stick their nose in other people's business.

Some members also offered to pay for private investigators to assist New York police in handling the protests, the chat log shows — an offer a member of the group reported in the chat that Adams accepted.”

You are telling me that Eric Adams accepted a P.I. help when he could have literally walked to a police station. Then to a detective to solve the case?

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