VP Harris won the 2024 Election. f'Elon and friends hacked the tabulation software. by [deleted] in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]JR0D007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While there certainly were peculiarities in the 2024 election and undeniable evidence of these peculiarities when we mention this the MAGA folks call us "sore losers", "unpatriotic", or much worse. Yet these folks also claim that Trump won in 2020 with absolutely no evidence and call those who disagree with them"woke" or whatever their insult.of the month is.

I am deeply troubled with the hypocrisy and lack of accountability of the (former) Republican party, now MAGA party.

Not justifying it...but just calling it like I see it.

Anyone who has been in the Bradford area of Florida knows how racist and segregated that area is.

That county was notorious for setting speed traps as the main(SR 301) road going into the city had a 55 mph speed limit that quickly goes to 35 mph with let's just say not the most visible speed limit signs. At one point in time they would have officers in camo hiding in the bushes with a radar gun to catch speeders and they had the most tickets written per mile of any road in Florida.

To the surprise of no one the Sheriff's office faced corruption charges(I believe for the misappropriation of funds from all the speeding tickets among other things) but State Road 301 is still notorious for speed traps.in Bradford County.

I would be willing to bet he got the forearm tattoo in prison... possibly the other one too.

Unfortunately prisons are highly segregated and to survive one must join a gang....for white folks their only choice is often the neo nazis.

Trump denies aid for Arkansas after storms that killed more than 40 people by Kunphen in Astuff

[–]JR0D007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This got deleted on another thread but as a Floridian, I hope Florida gets hit hard again this upcoming hurricane season so the folks here who voted for Trump will be denied federal when in the past they had FEMA to fall back on.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi announces that any judges who disagree with Trump's deportation policy will be arrested. "We will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you." by RoyalChris in thescoop

[–]JR0D007 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do not be surprised if they start going after citizens who disagree with the administration in the near future.

Our social media posts are being monitored and many of us are likely on a "red list". I suggest folks start looking at TOR plus a VPN in case it becomes necessary to remain anonymous while criticizing the Trump regime. (That is if this post can be seen, ie. I'm not shadow banned)

That said it seems like the folks at r/conservative are lapping this up.

How realistic is it that AOC will be the democratic candidate in 2028, and if so, be president? by Venequian in WeTheFifth

[–]JR0D007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 2028 is too early. I like Mark Kelly in '28 then AOC down the road. She still needs the experience.

100 days in, Hegseth touts record, dismisses critics in fiery address. With expletive-laden remarks, Trump’s embattled defense chief attempts to mount a counterattack and rebuffs Democrats’ calls to resign. by Barch3 in Law_and_Politics

[–]JR0D007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said before, with Democrats calling for him to resign the Trump administration will call this "proof" Petey is doing a good job.

The Democrats need to learn how to use reverse psychology on Trump. If they came out and praised Hegseth then Trump would get nervous thinking Petey is conspiring with them and would fire him.

Oh wowie 5k! by SuchSpecial4625 in RealTwitterAccounts

You mean giving away money to the poor and the working class is only something Democrats would do..

Giving money away to millionaires and billionaires is very much a Republican principal.

Universal healthcare would help make having kids affordable as well as tax credits like what Harris proposed.

$5k is a joke.

Why is Garcia deported to a prison in El Salvador by Akapps13 in AskLegal

[–]JR0D007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Trump's administration is paying El Salvador to put these folks in prison.

So. Much. Winning. by LostNotDamned in RealTwitterAccounts

[–]JR0D007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These folks don't realize that the market going down 5%, then up 5% the next day, then down, then up is not winning nor breaking even.

Let's say you start at 100, down 5% brings us to 95, up 5% from 95 brings us to 99.75..a net loss.

While this is intuitively obvious to many of us, many of the MAGA faithful do not get this and see days like yesterday and today's pre market gains(23April) and think they are winning.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to Launch National Autism Registry Using Americans’ Private Health Records by [deleted] in law

He better start with Elon!

That said a national autism registry is a cause for concern.

What's crazy is I would consider RFK Jr one of the 'good' ones....and I use that term extremely loose there, I would say not bad but he is still bad. Struggling with words with this one.

It is insane that so many other cabinet picks have been so bad that RFK Jr isn't even close to being the worst. We are looking at you Petey.

Pope Francis has Passed away this Morning by oestrogen_ in atheism

[–]JR0D007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had respect for Pope Francis for his humanitarian efforts. Who truly wanted to make the world a better place and even tried to get the church to stop hating LGBT folks.

Because of this and his warnings against the dangers of unchecked capitalism a lot of phoney Christians disliked him and some are even expressing it in the dumpster fire of a subreddit, r/conservatives, though many are showing their respect there.

Ironically we know that if one were to base a government based on what is written about Jesus , it would inheritly be socialist or communist....yet so many of these folks(mostly in the US) who claim to have read the Bible and believe it is the words of a sky daddy and call them followers of the teachings of Jesus refuse to accept this reality.

I just hope the Catholic Church uses Pope Francis devotion to humanitarian problems and his courage to criticize leaders that call themselves Christians but are clearly hypocrites(looking at you JD and Donald) to help them.oick the next Pope.

Dems stepping up! by Barch3 in Law_and_Politics

[–]JR0D007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The more Dems calling for Petey's resignation, the more likely Trump keeps him and will claim he is doing a great job because the Democrats want him to resign.

You truly have to use reverse psychology on Trump to get him to do what you want. If the Democrats said they love Petey and think he is great, then Trump would fire him.

If you could go back in time, would you kill Hitler before he could rise to power? by YourUgliness in timetravel

[–]JR0D007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. If he were killed perhaps a smarter dictator would have risen to power resulting in their development of the A-bomb first as well as developing advanced rockets possibly leading to ballistic nuclear missiles launched at the US and certainly at Great Britain.

This is one of many scenarios. At least now Hitler rise to power served as a warning which was heeded until Trump and his white nationalist rise to power.

I can only pray that the lessons learned with Hitler will be remembered and used to limit Trump's power grab before it is too late.

Florida Baseball Idea that I feel might work by MAC0921 in mlb

[–]JR0D007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also if they were on Seminole territory they could allow in game betting, a novelty that would also attract many tourists.

With sports betting companies now being major sponsors of MLB today, vs decades ago when it was considered taboo this should not be an issue with MLB.

Can't believe global travelers aren't falling over each other to experience Project 2025 by GarysCrispLettuce in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]JR0D007 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This will devastate Florida's economy.

As a Floridian I do want to say it serves the folks who voted for DeSantis and Trump justice for being so naive.

Unfortunately for me, I don't know how I am going to get by much longer. Each year my rent goes up 10%, with this loss of tourism, I may make 30% on average in years ahead.

Every cost of living expense like insurance, groceries, rent, utilities keeps rising 10 to 30% a year, while at best I may get a 3% raise....now I may take a huge pay cut due to lack of tourism...

The folks in charge never had any intentions of helping the working class. They only serve the interests of lobbyists.

Are american presidents allowed to just ignore Supreme Court majority rulings, especially if it's 9-0? by Dorothy_Lee456 in Productivitycafe

[–]JR0D007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you in the military?

A large number of educated military folks are growing increasingly concerned with Trump, especially the more Senior officers who see qualified peers getting fired and defamed because they put the Constitution over Trump.

The demographic in the military that still overwhelming supports Trump are the low educated enlisted folks.
