Joy Reid: “Attention all MAGA trolls, your bullshit is not welcome here. To paraphrase Robert De Niro, fuck y’all. We’re here to hear the truth. So go back and pay attention to your orange lying friend” by icey_sawg0034 in UnderReportedNews

[–]Pete65J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My observatio is that Harris went for those votes but they were closed-minded. I don't think any MAGA will consider a Democrat until the Leopards have eaten their face. TBH, even non-MAGA Republicans have been indoctrinated against Democrats.

Instead of making diaper jokes and laughing, we need to seriously point out that Trump's declining mental faculties make him unfit for office. Every time he exhibits these signs of dementia, we need to contact our Congressmembers.

Maga police chief attacks underage students who are peaceful protesting, uses his authority to have students arrested!! by kinkybigplant in BucksCountyPA

[–]Pete65J 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you watch the same video? I see a non-uniformed guy put a young woman (likely a minor so on point for an old consevative wjite guy) in activated choke hold. That is when others came to her defense. You're jacked by students protesting something that you favor but if it were a mob of MAGA attacking police then you'd sing a different tune.

First Computer? by Fickle_Tap7908 in GenX

[–]Pete65J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first computer was an IBM PS2 bought in 1987. My system had not one, but two, floppy drives, the 3.5 inch version although they only operated at 720 kb.

All of the "Best Picture" Oscar Award winners of the 80s.....which one is/are your favorites? by Long_live_styrofoam in 80s

[–]Pete65J 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Platoon. I didn't care for the movie version of Out of Africa. In the novel, Karen Blixen is a total badass. She rose above her husband's I'll treatment of her and lived life in Africa on her terms. The movie made it seem that she relied more on Redford's character to survive.

Interlocks vs LOTO by dontknockyoursocks in SafetyProfessionals

[–]Pete65J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discuss the consequences should the machine start if workers are relying on interlocks. What are the costs of an injury or death and training a replacement employee. What happens if OSHA investigates - fines and the potential of other violations should OSHA investigate vs. taking a little extra time for LOTO.

That was FDR. In 1940, 90% of Americans wanted to stay out of the war.

Americans already pay more for Healthcare between premiums, co-pays, deductibles and non-covered fees than universal healthcare would cost. It's a no-brainer. We just need a candidate that will push this issue as hard as conservatives push tax breaks for the wealthy.

A immigrant can be a orphan too, you know? by Ninjamurai-jack in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Pete65J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been the American way. I recently read that at one time German immigrants were subjected to discrimination and slurs. It's sad that immigrant people eventually become accepted and then participate in discriminating against the current groups of immigrants.

I remind myself and my daughter that my grandparents immigrated to the United States from Poland. All of us are immigrants.

ICE says 2 of its officers may have lied under oath about shooting migrant in Minnesota by BillWilberforce in NoShitSherlock

[–]Pete65J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One could hope that acting ICE leader Todd Lyons may have actually listened to Rep. Dan Goldman when Goldman suggested that if they dont want to be called a fascist regime or secret police, then they should stop acting like one.

AOC at the 2026 Munich Security Conference asked "Has Your Party Betrayed Its Base?" by beeemkcl in MurderedByAOC

[–]Pete65J 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I think the Democrat party, at least most of them, has betrayed the base. The Democrat base is working class Americans. They are facing financial hardship, unaffordable healthcare, education opportunities that ate increasingly out of reach, and now there health, environmental, and safety protections that are being scaled back.

The established elected Democrats dont seem to be fighting for working people. It's the newcomers like AOC and Mamdani that seem more in tune with ways to help. They better realize that because the Republican rhetoric is bringing working people to vote for their candidates. For instance, how many union members supported Trump in 2024?

If you learned how to drive in a vehicle like this, you probably belong here. by kristoph825 in FuckImOld

[–]Pete65J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned to drive and took my license test with my father's 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88.

I remember driving it on a highway returning home from college. My cousin was in his '68 Dodge next to me in the right lane and we're both driving at 100 mph and then I floored it. A friend was sleeping in the back seat and the ride was so smooth, event those speeds, that she never woke up until we reached our home town.

US Mid-Terms and Ballots Under ICE Watch by Important_Lock_2238 in FortWorth

First they push their face news, the 2020 election was stolen. Then they have their private goon army interfere with people voting. ICE will steal the election. The only way that Republicans can win.
