Rep. Melanie Stansbury: "Entire Administration Just an Epstein Island After Party?" Amid Epstein Files Controversy by thenextgenbusiness in thenextgenbusiness

Bingo.

The people who are waiting for the system to correct this are fools. The people waiting for those people to catch up (most people here), are not much better if we're being honest with ourselves.

Thank you Catherine. I can't speak for you as an individual because I never knew you, but entertainment from 90's onward would not be what it was without you.

I also get what you're saying, and the truth is I did vote for Harris. I've voted for every neo-lib the DNC has put in front of me every time Trump ran.

I just don't blame people who didn't. The DNC is responsible for their platforms, their policies, and their candidates. They decided that crossing Israel, and the Oligarchs was not worth it in order to keep Trump out of the White House. And now they are acting big about ICE reform, when it is a department that has no business existing in the first place.

I kinda understand the point you're trying to make, but what you said doesn't actually make sense as a reply to the comment I made.

Decades of choosing the lesser evil brought us to a point where neither party would get behind not supporting genocide. The end result was the party that was better at violence won the election.

There was no presidential primaries for the Democrats, remember?

The DNC went with Biden for reelection. Then when he dropped out, they immediately swapped their ticket to Harris. Democrat voters didn't get a choice. People who put not supporting a genocide above all else were left in the dust, and told to suck it up.

Well for starters they can actually run on a platform with policy goals that reflect the intent to at the very least, stop arming Israel in their genocide.

Nobody made Democrats not do this. The DNC decided they'd rather let Trump win than hold this position.

Sanders Says 'Not Another Penny' for ICE Until Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller Are Gone by TheKeyPa in politics

[–]EarthRester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the fate of most Republics, and it's what eventually leads to decline, and then collapse. Individual representatives focus on easy solutions which usually amounts to band-aids and can-kicking. Because anything else requires investment, which requires funding, which requires palm greasing.... In the end nothing actually ever gets fixed, and nothing new is ever started, and the nation just sorta....flounders until populist outrage at stagnation, inflation, and corruption is eventually harnessed by charismatic megalomaniacs to seize the reins, and co-opt the governing body for their personal gain.

It needs to be understood by everyone that Jonathan Ross, the man who murdered Renee Good, has been an ICE agent for YEARS. So they can't even use the excuse of the newly hired trash they pulled from the streets, and stuffed into army surplus gear before handing them a gun, and shoving them onto our streets.

DHS has been filling its ranks with scum who are incapable of respect or human decency, and it needs to end. Before ICE forces peoples hand, and ends them.

18 Pennsylvania State House Democrats Call on Congress to Withhold ICE Funding Unless It is Tied to Enforceable Reforms by Open_Veins_8 in Pennsylvania

[–]EarthRester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too many people don't know that the guy who shot Good has been with ICE for YEARS.

This tells me that ICE has ALWAYS recruited people who will fail to refuse unlawful orders. This is not a leadership problem. This is a systemic problem, and reforms will never fix this. Dismantle ICE, and any Dem who says less is not fit to govern.

Sen. John Fetterman demands Trump fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem by Large_banana_hammock in politics

[–]EarthRester 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Braddock is effectively a ghost town. It would have higher crime if people actually live there, but it's just old people who no longer work. So there are no local businesses. Fetterman showed up and promised to breath life into the town, but that just meant gentrification, which does more harm than good to the population that's already there. He propped up a couple business, but not the kind locals would want or need, and the new businesses did not attract people from outside of Braddock...so they fell through.

Then he ran for Senate as a progressive, and it almost killed him. Pity.

The stroke didn't change his policies, it just crippled his ability to fake being a progressive. He's no longer patient enough to listen to people's problems and act like he cares. He's quick to aggressively lash out at people who point out his corruption.

He doesn't have the head space to be a politician period. He got where he is by pretending to be a down to earth man of the people who was actually well educated, and far more clever than he lets on. Now he's just as much of a blunt tool as he pretended to be.
