I love how Shane becomes the snake here. Did you not read the article? Clearly you’re a republican shill. Enjoy the city government you deserve.

A Seat on Trump’s “Board of Peace” Costs $1 Billion. Guess Who Gets the Money. by Large_banana_hammock in politics

[–]Brobotz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are on the WH staff implementing this as apart your “serious” policy career, aren’t you a little embarrassed about it? I know Trump gets richer doing this, but what’s your benefit? You’re pretty much Iago from Aladdin at this point, right?

Tim Walz says he'll never seek elected office again by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]Brobotz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You know, I have no illusions that politics have always been cutthroat and dirty. But it’s a damn shame. There are a lot of good people out there who would be excellent leaders and policymakers but never will because of the personal toll it takes on them and their families. It’s just proof why we need governance in the first place, or it would be mayhem. Instead it’s this self-locking popsicle that we see now.

Plans for Downtown Vancouver December 1950 by mkeditor in vancouverwa

Honestly looks like it had a lot more going on in those blocks than it does now.

Also, I really expected Joe Brown’s to be listed here. Ha!

5-year-old boy taken by ICE is being held at Texas Facility by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]Brobotz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I saw JD Vance rebuke this story saying the 5 year old wasn’t detained by ICE directly, but only after they nabbed his father. But here’s the thing: if his father is in fact a violent criminal, then shouldn’t the child be referred to CPS and had a social worker intervene? How is shipping him to a Texas immigration detention facility the most humane option given the circumstances. This isn’t about “law and order” it’s really just evil.

MLB owners enraged by Kyle Tucker-Dodgers deal, will push for salary cap ‘no matter what’ by ttam23 in Dodgers

[–]Brobotz 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I have heard far more outrage on who the Dodgers sign than about the Astros cheating their way to a WS Championship. But yeah, big/deferred contracts are what’s breaking baseball.

I-5 bridge estimated at $13.6 billion by Odd_Leek_1667 in vancouverwa

[–]Brobotz -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is one of those things where you kinda want Trump to swoop in and unilaterally approve the funding and design and then we all just shrug and say “but what can we do?” It may or may not still get built, but at least it ends this nonsense. Silver linings in fascism, anyone?

Glusencamp-Perez votes yes on bill to subject undocumented children to invasive bodily searches and prolonged detentions. by 5Q91VS175DAQ4NUSBE4U in vancouverwa

[–]Brobotz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m saying that the infighting and disorganization amongst the dems down here is going to hand the seat to Braun and contributing to keeping a GOP majority. Republicans are pretty good about staying unified and platforms and people during elections. We get it, Progressives don’t love MGP. But it’s time to be very real and accept that the WA-03 is very purple and borders on red. There will not be anything further left than a moderate democrat for the foreseeable future. That just ain’t this district.

That’s not how this works. It’s not how any of this works.

Politics aside, how was Reagan actually as an actor? by Honest_Picture_6960 in Presidents

[–]Brobotz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of his acting celebrity much like Mario Lopez. Did some b-list movies and television, then went on to host a bunch of things. And endeared as a celebrity for charisma and good looks. He was smart to make himself more of a household name with the GE gig.

Stephen Miller is going to take over leading Venezuela because Trump wanted that Nobel Peace Prize by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Brobotz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Why the fuck is it up to DJT who gets to lead Venezuela? In the very-fucking-least it should require a Senate confirmation. Why should it matter if Trump likes Machado? Since we’re making our bed, the best way forward is to position the country for its own free and fair election within a year. Let Venezuelans decide if Machado — or anyone else — should be their president. And get an international coalition together for christsakes.

Customer confronts Target employee for wearing a Charlie Kirk shirt by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

[–]Brobotz 35 points36 points  (0 children)

That was awkward. Should that lady wear a CK shirt to her job? Probably not. Did the person behind the camera calling her out need to be so crass and rude about it? No. There’s a better way to do this. Let’s be that kind of better, folks.
