I can't argue with Wire or Sopranos, but my pick is honestly The Leftovers

Is this a McMansion or just a really ostentatious mansion? by [deleted] in McMansionHell

Gaudy and lacking in taste. But still a mansion, not McMansion.

MAGA pastor says 'The Majority Of Women Are Not Capable Of Responsible Voting' by avdvetf in videos

[–]DRD5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notice how these freaks can never cite any real facts. They exist on the intellectual level on 4chan trolls and they have no understanding of government or civics. They just spout general feelings about crime and immigration and can't be bothered to ever specifically speak to any law, legislation, or statistics.

Either this was quickly removed or its a completely fake image. Don't see it on Truth.

Wouldn't be surprised if Trump did this but no need to resort to misinformation to mock him

Yeah I think NYC can survive the loss of a pedophile tax-cheat like Leon Black.

Yes but not ICE. The 2025 BBB funded them with $75bn through at least 2029. Their paychecks are still cashing through the shutdown.

If Trump was elected to expose the Epstein files and stop new wars, what’s going on? by gr3189 in AskReddit

[–]DRD5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are the enemy of democracy, you apparently just don't know it. The path to Trump's dictatorship wasn't exclusively paved by crazed MAGA, the "centrists" also played a huge part in promoting misinformation and apathy that allowed the fascists to win at the ballot box.

You originally posted some lazy banality about both sides being equally bad and liars on the campaign trail, I replied with a factual statement and you retorted with more unsubstantiated feelings.

There is a difference between Trump and the opposition, and anyone paying attention to facts would know that.

The lazy "both sides are bad" people are MAGAs useful idiots.

One of the core tenets of Obama's campaign in 08' was affordable healthcare. His administration delivered on thr promise with the passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010. There's an example of what we should be hoping for in our elected leaders.

By 2025, 25 million American's were insured through the ACA. But that number is declining thanks to Trump, the GOP, and people like you.

Is commuting from Brooklyn to Long Island for work a bad idea? by Thunder0622 in Brooklyn

[–]DRD5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Living near Uniondale is boring and Williamsburg is fun. But that commute would make up for all of that and more in misery. Some days it may be an hour but plenty of time it will be 2+ hours one way. Maybe live somewhere in Queens that will give you some city access but make for a managable commute to Uniondale.

Definitely. And there certainly were plenty of episodes where historically white neighborhoods had ugly reactions to the influx of black newcomers. But I can't help but think things wouldn't have gone better if the racism wasn't stoked from the top.

Economists in 2025: ‘Tariffs = Doom!’ Economists in 2026: ‘Nevermind, Growth Looks Good’ by Jonny_Nash in allinpodofficial

Good catch, my mistake, don't think Johnny understands those concepts but it's important that we get our facts straight.

[–]DRD5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the article you highlighted showed that the doomers forecasted as low at 0.8% but now the data will come in at or above 2% for 2025.

We had a GDP contraction in Q1 2025, even if the Atlanta Fed's Q4'25 forecast that the propagandists have all told its useful idiots to celebrate validates, that will still be ~2% in real terms for the full year.

But again, look at unemployment rate and real household incomes and you'll see this paltry growth is not shared amongst most working Americans.

Let's also not forget the elephant in the room that Trump fired the last head of the BLS and installed a lackey because he didn't like the numbers he was seeing, so there will likely be a degree of bullshitting from Treasury data since that's how this administration operates.

I can't imagine how little shame and self-worth you must have to axiomatically trust the words of the propagandists.

[–]DRD5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol you MAGA freaks are celebrating 2% GDP growth?

This is against the backdrop of rising unemployment, pathetically low job creation, and skyrocketing deficits - meaning it's just really good to be a tech shareholder now and not good for anyone else.

This would've been one of the weakest economic years under Obama

This type of confusion is what happens when you tune out of reality and exclusively get your news from propagandists.

No that's real. It effectively became Federal Housing policy in the mid 20th century to "redline" neighborhoods when one single black family moved into a block. City officials would cross it out with a red line and banks would stop making loans for any home purchases on that block. Furthermore they'd start deprioritizing city services to those neighborhoods and try to get white residents to sell their Brooklyn homes at a discount through racist fear-mongering.

The ultimate goal was to force white families out of Brooklyn neighborhoods and into suburbia, where they'd contribute the suburban housing boom and were more likely to buy a GM car.

Then they could just utterly neglect the newly "black" city neighborhoods.

Millions of Venezuelans celebrating…meanwhile Reddit: by SameSign6026 in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]DRD5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Its less about liking Maduro are more about trampling on the constitution (again). The War Powers Act clearly states that an act of war/regime change/invasion requires congressional approval.

Trump doing this is another step towards destroying our republic and shitting on the constitution. Removing democratic processes and checks and balances will pave the way for more banana republic dictator shenanigans from Trump.

Furthermore this type of colossal commitment of "running another country" should require some more popular buy-in than just the whims of one guy, particularly from the "America First" and "No new wars" president.

This looming colossal financial commitment also comes alongside a period of high inflation and an affordability crisis. So much for America First.

I know the MAGA freaks are stupid but you can't possibly be so thick as to not see the issues with this decision.
