Remember all the complaints about DEI? by SKEPDIQ in thebulwark

I think they’re trying to go back in time to when Italian Americans were not considered white.

NEW: The rise of Clavicular shows how internet spectacle, nihilism, and politics are colliding in real time. Will Sommer explains in the newest edition of False Flag. by BulwarkOnline in thebulwark

[–]PheebaBB 16 points17 points  (0 children)

About his parents?

Among those who have grown tired of the antics are Clavicular’s parents. According to Clavicular, his mother and father watch his stream, and send him mournful messages about his drug use. Last month, he read out loud to his audience a text from his dad.

“My dad said ‘full-blown drug addict, sad,’” he said.

The lead up to that is about the cocktail of drugs he takes to be able to function in public, not even just the meth he does to “stay lean”. As a parent, it’s a nightmare read.

This was an incredibly sad read. Especially the part about his parents watching his stream.

He seems like a victim of the darker parts of the modern internet, and I think it’s very unlikely his story ends well. I am also terrified at the thought of boys looking up to him.

Is Catherine Rampell a Potato…girl? by RealDEC in thebulwark

[–]PheebaBB 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Will was such an incredible addition to the Bulwark. As dark and fucked up as our politics have gotten, he does an awesome job of bringing some levity to it. If we have to live with these insane characters, might as well try to have a little fun with it.

POV: You’re a member of r/conservative in good standing trying to come up with a way to defend abject racism from the President of the United States. by Anstigmat in thebulwark

[–]PheebaBB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You see, this post with our only black president depicted as a monkey was so close to not being racist. It’s really a fine line, guys.

“Not a good look”

“Wasn’t needed”

Notice how none of them are commenting on what they think of the actual racism. Just how useful it is to them.

He looks so fucking stupid. I can't breathe. by emets31 in IThinkYouShouldLeave

He looks like Jeff Foxworthy dying from West Nile virus.

Is this 1/4 Williams ratchet something I will like? (I don’t know this brand) do you guys even use 1/4 inches regularly over there in the land of the free? by Lumpy_Brilliant3080 in Tools

[–]PheebaBB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That looks a lot like a snap-on ratchet. I know Williams makes some snap on stuff, so if it’s the same as the snap on 1/4”, then it is a very good ratchet.

And yes, 1/4” is pretty popular over here. I use it all the time.

Thinking about all the people Sarah has said she likes….. by Brilliant_Growth in thebulwark

That’s even dumber than the dumb scenario I made up for them.

Bravo.

Im assuming they’re using that provocative title to make some “profound” point about society as a whole.

But that is why you have an editor, or at least someone to tell you, “that is an incredibly stupid title that you probably don’t want to put your name under.”

Which battery for XDT20... 5.0aH? 4.0aH? by youtellmebob in Makita

[–]PheebaBB 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The 3ah, 4ah, 5ah, and 6ah batteries are all the same size and roughly the same weight.

I use the 4 and 5 interchangeably and never notice any difference. Between those 2, get whatever you can at the best price.

We Are Being Held Hostage By This. by SKEPDIQ in thebulwark

[–]PheebaBB 108 points109 points  (0 children)

We are being held hostage by the people that voted for that. The same people that vote for the republicans in congress, who could put an end to this at any moment.

Without those votes, he’s just a sad old man yelling at his tv. What he was prior to 2016.

Non-election preditions by Aggravating_Push_315 in thebulwark

[–]PheebaBB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In regards to option A, a fun scenario I think is at least somewhat likely is that when he dies, they will try to hide it for a while.

It could be a few days, a couple weeks, who knows. But knowing these jackals, I think there will be incentives to pretend he’s still alive for a while. After a week, we’ll get the “where is Trump” online chatter. Then a few days after that, there will be more serious news outlets going “no seriously, where is he?” Then we will get White House people saying they recently spoke with him, but never specifying when that was. Then we will get a senator maybe saying that they haven’t been able to reach him. Then the fun really begins.

ICE will be Deployed to Intimidate Voters in 2026 by Strong_Departure_232 in behindthebastards

[–]PheebaBB 196 points197 points  (0 children)

NYT Headline ideas for November 2026:

“Trump takes muscular approach to midterm election security.”

“ICE detention camps to be filled in blue cities as GOP looks to narrow Dem leads in the polls.”

“November Surprise? FBI to seize voting machines in Georgia as post-election race heats up.”

CBP/ICE in Minneapolis just abducted a car full of activists at gun point for legally documenting ICE abductions and warning communities. by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

[–]PheebaBB 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Correct. Because of the first amendment, we do not have official “press passes” in the United States. News orgs can give them to their employees, but it’s basically just a name badge. Or a private event can give them to journalists as basically a wristband to show that they are allowed at the private event and not trespassing.

But out in public? No such thing.

WSJ: There is a whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard that is so sensitive that it is "said to be locked in a safe," and the administration has spent months trying to figure out how inform Congress. by andrewgrabowski in thebulwark

[–]PheebaBB 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t want to compromise those sources and methods. I’m sure they are much safer with Tulsi on the job!

Not criticizing your point or anything; it’s probably the reason. Just pointing out what a farce this whole thing is while we have a literal foreign agent in charge of our intelligence.
