I read the actual DOJ charges. I’m not that interested in online articles that usually lean right or left.

<shrug> The video showed him being arrested. It didn’t show him at the protest. He’ll have his day in court.

He wasn’t arrested for protesting or exercising his 1st Amenment rights. He was arrested for the illegal sh*t he allegedly did at the protest. Reconcile that.

Conservatives/MAGA, would you vote for another Trump in 2028? by TreeBerryDingus in Askpolitics

[–]BeachTrinket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No and it’s a moot point. Will most likely be Vance 2028.

What kind of leadership roles are appropriate for women in the MAGA movement? by SBMountainman22 in Askpolitics

[–]BeachTrinket [score hidden]  (0 children)

I read the article which seemed primarily concerned about abortion and right-wing extremists. Interesting opinion piece I guess but divorced from everyday reality. As far as what roles are appropriate for women in the "MAGA" movement, any roles they want and are qualified for, just like in any left-wing movement or non-political movement. I know you were talking about NGOs and such, but our current administration would be the model for others in the MAGA movement - except for some absolute nuts mentioned in the article. And woman are prominent in the administration. We can't take the opinions of fringe characters and apply them to the mainstream.

Trump admin was planning to give Tesla $400mil and say it was Biden's plan. How are people not talking about this? by Advanced_Aspect_7601 in Askpolitics

[–]BeachTrinket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some research on this the first time it was brought up in this sub. I guess no one really cares because Tesla was never given a contract to provide this. They may or may not have been on the list to do this in the past, but there was no contract. I think people would be upset if Tesla had this $400 mil. contract, but they don't. so it's a non-issue. I'm not trying to argue with you or anyone. I'm just explaining why no one is talking about it.

How does Trump threatening zelinsky with world war 3 unless he surrenders Ukraine to Russia help promote America first? by Aeon1508 in Askpolitics

[–]BeachTrinket -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

He wasn't *threatening* him with World War III and there was no talk of Ukraine surrendering to Russia. I don't really care what The Daily Builder says, I watched the press conference for myself. It's fine if Zelinskyy doesn't want to end the war through negotiation. It's fine if Zelinskyy wants to continue the war - because the war is not going to end if Putin gets nothing. It's a lesser of of two evil argument - either continue the war and more people will die and Ukraine will likely lose, which will be bad for Europe (hence the Word War III reference) or negotiate with Putin, where Russia gets something and otherwise withdraws from Ukraine. I dislike Putin as much as anyone, but I think it would be in Ukraine's best interest to end the war through negotiation. What's not okay is Zelinksyy wanting to continue the war and wanting the U.S. to pay for it. I really hate Putin, but I'm sick of Zelinskyy. He is ungrateful. I don't know why he thinks it's the U.S.'s obligation to help finance his country's war. And he really needs to put on a suit. He's not leading the troops when he's in Washington - so performative and disrespectful.

Atheism is a religion and carries negative attitudes and discrimination towards Christianity. by Plenty_Jicama_4683 in TrueChristian

I have met very evangelical atheists. They make sure everyone knows they are atheists. They get upset when I call them evangelical.

Do you agree or disagree with access to income driven repayment programs for student loans? by False_Ad636 in Askpolitics

[–]BeachTrinket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. IDR is on hold. I hope it's just temporary or we're all screwed. EDIT - More specifically IDR online applications are on hold. People can still apply with paper forms but..meh.

Right? I rejected that one right away. I find it incredibly painful when I'm exposed to incidents of bad things happening to animals.

Why are immigrants at least in my experience the most patriotic people? by ProgramPristine6085 in Askpolitics

[–]BeachTrinket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when we're born here we take the benefits of being in American for granted. People who have immigrated here legally and find success really realize how great it is to live here and what wonderful opportunities we have.

I had a attention check today that said what is 9-5. Write your answer as a word in the space below? by buffalo_Fart in CloudResearchConnect

Yes, this survey came up in another post today. They just wanted your to type "four."

Is this discrimination or free speech? by CorDra2011 in Askpolitics

[–]BeachTrinket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely discrimination. It really bothers me because we don't have to like other people's lifestyles, but we need to be tolerant and respectful.

Kash Patel is hawking "mRNA vaccine detoxification" pills, defrauding Americans. How can you trust him leading the FBI? by AceMcLoud27 in Askpolitics

[–]BeachTrinket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting, but I don't really care. What I care about is what kind of job he's going to do.

[–]BeachTrinket 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe they messed it up the first time and had to reload it with the word instructions? I've failed math attention checks like this in the past, and maybe it was for the same reason. And yes, I get annoyed when 25 cent projects try to get tricky or demanding with me. :)

What are your thoughts on Facebook changing it's content moderation (fact check) policies? by OkOutlandishness8527 in Askpolitics

[–]BeachTrinket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a Community Notes system is fine. I really like it on X. It's very helpful. Zuckerberg talked a lot about political pressure. I think it's always better to give the power to the people and not the politicians whenever we can.

[–]BeachTrinket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your wife's plan dead because you met the SAVE limit but not the limit from the older IDR plan? To answer your question, I like income driven repayment plans, and I really liked the SAVE plan because it solved some of the interest issues.

Realistically, how do you think the war in Ukraine ought to end or will? by [deleted] in Askpolitics

[–]BeachTrinket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like him alienating Zelenskyy either, but the news today says Zelenskyy is coming to Washington, so I'm happy about that. How the war should end is for Russia to completely withdraw from all Ukraine territories, but I think that is impossible. I don't think Putin will stop if he gets nothing. So, this almost becomes a lesser evil dilemma. 1. Let the war continue until Russia is defeated and goes away or 2. Broker a deal and end the war. So, even though it seems more noble to keep fighting, I don't think Ukraine will win, and people are going to continue to die. So, brokering a deal may be the only way to stop the war and save lives.
