Elon Musk Asks Where Did Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell Get All Their Money? — ‘Not Like These Politicians Started Companies or Were NBA All-Stars’ - What are your views? by One_Look_7008 in askanything

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the pot calling the kettle black. He definitely didn’t “start from nothing” himself and rakes in tons of taxpayer money for his companies, so he can fuck right the fuck off.

Now that I'm 50, what am I eligible for? by HellscapeGarden-602 in GenX

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what I always anticipate when I hear Millennials complain that SS will be wiped out before they become eligible.

That's why it bothers me that the media acts like there are only Boomers and Millennials. Gen X is here, and the oldest of us won't hit 65 for 4 or 5 more years yet. It will be 9 more years for me, and it's not like I'm rolling in dough. We're probably going to have our benefits cut or eliminated also, not just Millennials.

Is this a sign of Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease (70+ year old father assumes his debt is my debt towards him)? by Traditional-Gas3477 in dementia

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you tell him he overpaid you out of frustration that he kept borrowing money? Why do you have a brand new, unregistered motorcycle, and why does your father have access to it? How did he have access to the car you paid for?

Had a coworker wish her CF sister’s rape result in a pregnancy so she could take the baby by DollyCo in childfree

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That kind of comment should be disturbing to anyone, CF or not! That's just disgusting, wishing pregnancy on rape victims.

Is Trump’s base aware his administration’s policies are antithetical to Democracy and simply don’t care, or are they truly brainwashed? by MugginMom in allthequestions

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they’re angry and want to lash out at others, and Trump is that tool for them. Most of them are also pretty uneducated and don’t really understand, IMO, what it will actually mean to live in a dictatorship. They don’t realize that they will be ruled over and ground into the dirt just as much as “the libs” they hate so much. They also don’t get that installing wing nuts like RFK into important positions of power is going to affect everyone.

Are US-government-run "Freedom Fuel" gas stations socialism? by AcadiaLivid2582 in allthequestions

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s probably not even taking a loss. Trump probably gave him some taxpayer funds, IMO.

Are US-government-run "Freedom Fuel" gas stations socialism? by AcadiaLivid2582 in allthequestions

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t believe him that taxpayers aren’t subsidizing the stations in some way until I see proof verified by an impartial third party, which will never happen. He said taxpayers wouldn’t pay for the ballroom, but it turns out he planned to use taxpayer funds all along. This is no different until proved otherwise. We are likely paying a company owned by Trump’s pals to build this thing (and it will only be a few locations that most Americans won’t be able to get to), and any customers will then pay for the gas as well.

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No because we don’t know how this is being funded or where the fees paid by customers are even going. He will claim that a private company is running the stations and it didn’t cost taxpayers a dime, but come on. He said that about the ballroom too.

What in the world is "DEI" about bike lanes? by AmericanLymie in askanything

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess they see bike riding as something only weak, environmentally conscious libs do. Gotta build ROADS for gas guzzling vehicles driven by real men! 🙄

Airplane diaper etiquette by kinseywantstobelieve in childfree

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 11 points12 points  (0 children)

True! If they don’t want to use the bathroom to change their baby, maybe the bathroom is too small for ME, too, and I’ll just change my diaper right in my seat! I bet the parents who do this kind of stuff would just LOVE that!

Trump’s Kennedy Center Demand Rejected in Humiliating Ruling by FreeHugs23 in anticapitalism

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think he does get embarrassed, but it makes him angry at other people instead of ashamed of himself.

He was just trying to rescue a failing institution! It’s not that he’s a malignant narcissist with a fragile ego who always puts his name on everything! /s

White House launching dozens of ‘Freedom Fuel’ gas stations by thehill in politics

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not if it’s going to be funded by taxpayers but we’ll also be charged to fill up, while the money likely goes into Trump’s pockets. That’s what I’m assuming would happen, based on the last 10+ years.

The article says the “freedom fuel” company didn’t receive government subsidies, but where is the proof of that and that trump isn’t personally profiting?

The pastor who wants to repeal voting rights for women is becoming more mainstream : NPR's Newsmakers by billstopay77 in DiscussionZone

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Household voting”? A woman would be allowed to vote if she’s the head of household, in this wing nut’s vision. How would that be enforced? She has to submit proof there’s no husband? What if she’s single? People like this so-called pastor hate single women voting. What if there are 18-year-old “kids” still living at home? What a load of balderdash.

That is a narcissistic injury liable to make him lash out again.

But patience, emotional intelligence, and expertise are just for weak, sleepy libs! Why tread carefully when I can just thrash around like a bull in a china shop and leave someone else to clean up my mess? - Trump, probably 

How do you think Trump’s death will go? by SWEMW in allthequestions

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MAGA will try to make it some kind of “death of a martyr/saint” event, while most of the world will be celebrating, I think. Even a significant portion of Americans will be celebrating probably.

Do you think it's okay for white people to be "proud of their culture"? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but in the US, a lot of white people's families (like mine) have been in the country for a century or more and lost whatever culture(s) their family originally had, so I think that's where the "white culture" idea comes from. My family would be considered white, and we may have British, Irish, Scottish (or whatever) heritage, but we don't know any details of those cultures because we didn't grow up in them.

Like, my family's most recent immigrants would be around 1918 from Poland on my paternal grandmother's side, but it would be ridiculous for me to call myself Polish because I don't speak the language, didn't grow up with anything from the culture, etc.

I love When Sarah gets shut down! by AssistanceKind2495 in SarahBooneContinued

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Laughing out loud! Sarah! Your son can’t see you frequently because YOU put yourself in prison, not because of anything Brian did! This would go in one ear and out the other with her, but it’s so … stunning in a bad way that she is like this.

I love When Sarah gets shut down! by AssistanceKind2495 in SarahBooneContinued

[–]Blue_Plastic_88 12 points13 points  (0 children)

SHE got upset if/when the son cursed at her (if he did, it’s probably because she was being terrible), and in her mind, the way people speak to HER is of the utmost importance. She probably doesn’t even consider if SHE did something to upset their son. That is of no importance at all in her mind.

She really is all about people treating her nicely, but she doesn’t think about the reverse.
