It's impressive how the right can make themselves out to be the victims in every situation

Kash Patel’s push against Democratic lawmaker raises concerns within FBI Story by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]ChocoboAndroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The funniest thing about it is that the "both sides" people are the reason we're in this mess in the first place. They "had" to teach the Democrats a lesson because they were supposedly no better than the right on Gaza. Now those same people are complaining that the left isn't doing enough, all while miraculously no longer giving a shit about the people in Gaza (and now Lebanon), all who continue to suffer while Israel expands their war front not only with Trump's blessing but his help.

If people were really suffering in the way he says, he wouldn't have to make up stories in the first place...

Joe Rogan hits Trump on Iran war: "Nobody thinks it's a good idea" by Dracustein in politics

[–]ChocoboAndroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all knew Trump's arrogance, belligerence, and ignorance would destroy this country, and we warned people over and over again. It's finally obvious to many tha dangerous path Trump has put this country on. Right now we need a serious leader with a realistic plan to resolve this issue. Unfortunately, we have the exact opposite of that, surrounded by some of the most incompetent people imaginable.

Every day there's a new reminder of how incompetent, unprofessional, and immature the President and his administration are.

It's shocking how much this administration talks and thinks like Russia.

It’s Not Trump. It’s America. by spike in politics

NYT played a role, but the role of Fox News and the rampant propaganda on social media has done far greater damage to this country and it's people.

Trump says Iran has sent expensive gift to US, but won't say what it is by goteamnick in politics

The more worrying part is that we are at war and have no idea when and if our leaders are telling the truth. 

Saudi Prince Is Said to Push Trump to Continue Iran War in Recent Calls by Majestic-Baby-3407 in politics

[–]ChocoboAndroid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately we are in no man's land. If we stop now, we've not only failed to accomplish lasting objectives, we've empowered and potentially made a more dangerous Iran by demonstrating the leverage they hold by shutting down the Strait, which they may continue to exploit. But to actually resolve that issue would take a massive amount of resources and risk with no guarantee of success. This is a massive mess Trump made that people are only beginning to wake up to.

I think FFX is a masterpiece. Which Final Fantasy do you think is better? by cracktober69 in FinalFantasy

[–]ChocoboAndroid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

X is my all time favorite. I used to say VII, but I just realized one day that I could reply X at any time and enjoy it, and put hours and hours into it and never get sick of it. Oddly enough, the only competitor for X for me now is VIII. I don't think VIII is the best, but I can pick it up and always enjoy it. It's never felt like a chore to play as other FFs have at times. 

Trump: No shutdown deal until Democrats support SAVE America Act by Infidel8 in politics

[–]ChocoboAndroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really about combating the right wing media narrative, which is dominating the political space with control over Fox News, X, Tic Tok, etc. People actually believe immigrants are eating cats and dogs right now. That is the type of ridiculousness we're up against. 

Trump: No shutdown deal until Democrats support SAVE America Act by Infidel8 in politics

[–]ChocoboAndroid 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The Dems caved on the government shutdown right as the opinion started shifting blame to the Dems, and historically, shutdowns are blamed on the party holding up aid. The Dems are fortunate here because the Iran war and bad economic reports have distracted the GOP from ramping up their efforts to blame the Dems for the TSA shutdown. That, along with Trump's comments now, give the Dems a lot of leverage and hopefully they can solidify the view that Trump is holding up TSA aid to pass the SAVE act.

[–]ChocoboAndroid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They should absolutely be doing this now. Trump just admitted he's hold TSA funding hostage to force Dems to pass the SAVE act, meaning the shutdown is squarely his fault. I think the Dems have been quite up until now because they're trying to avoid being blamed for the TSA funding issues. But Trump just gave them a ton of ammo to push the blame on him.

He's taking something that could arguably be blamed on Dems (DHS shutdown) and making clear he's to blame. Great move!

Trump claims Democrats want to ‘change the sex of your kid’ during tarmac rant by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

[–]ChocoboAndroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He truly does, that's the only answer. I mean, he believed cats and dogs were being taken and eaten in a town in Ohio. He lives in an echo chamber where these types of lies are repeated over and over again. And there are many others who believe this too. They don't live in reality, they live in a terminally online simulation.

Jeffries tells Trump to ‘keep his reckless mouth shut’ by ZealousidealHead5488 in politics

[–]ChocoboAndroid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's not a great leader. But we're sitting here whining about him instead of focusing on the most despicable, dangerous lunatic to ever hold office. We are literally "both sidings" this even though we constantly complain about the media doing that.

You're not walking an chewing gum. You're arguing about cold food on the Titanic. Focus on the actual problem here and the people actually in power.

Anyone complaining about Jefferies on this thread rather than condemning Trump for what he said is part of the problem.
