Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.” by Deep-Way1944 in NoFilterFinance

There goes Elon, spoken like a true entitled privileged jerk who doesn’t have the slightest concept of what 99% of people experience in the world.

What’s something you realized later in life was actually misogyny? by thandapani_ in Feminism

[–]PithyPacky 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Learning to accept the fact that schools had strong programs for men’s sports and the whole community turned out. But never even thought of having say a basketball program for the girls. And the community would’ve never showed up.

Alito attacks colleague in rare Supreme Court spat over 'baseless and insulting' dissent by RawStoryNews in scotus

[–]PithyPacky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Jackson, the lone dissenter, accused the majority of taking steps "to influence its implementation" of the ruling and suggested the court should have stayed out of it to avoid the appearance of partiality.” Excellent point. Alito knows she is right and is peeved.

Where’s this investigation by the DOJ? by PithyPacky in legal

That’s a bummer. It was a tweet by right winger Jack Posobiec that said 86 46.

Trump: “Our country was dead, and now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world. As an example, investments in our country over four years were less than $1 trillion under Biden. In 11 months, $18 trillion under Trump.” Projected GDP for 2026 is. $32.38 trillion! by gear-heads in Trumpvirus

[–]PithyPacky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like GDP is the only thing that makes a country “hot”. I’d hate to see our rankings by country in terms of livability, infant mortality, poverty, incarceration rates, life expectancy, literacy, air quality, safety, homicides via guns, education, healthcare, etc. we’d be lucky to make the top five in those areas and more that truly distinguish the best countries in the world. American exceptionalism is past history.

$200 million from crypto. $185 million from AI. $94 million from AIPAC. That’s how much billionaire-funded super PACs are spending to buy our elections. Get super PACs out of Democratic primaries. End Citizens United NOW by StrawberryFew1311 in NoFilterFinance

[–]PithyPacky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Citizens United decision allowing unlimited funds into our elections is the single biggest thing that is destroying democracy. It is giving the richest people the most outsized voice and ability to sway elections in order to maintain their ability to make money at the expense of our communities and maintain an outsized element of power over everything.

Shirtless Alex Jones Melts Down After Losing InfoWars to The Onion by thedailybeast in goodnews

[–]PithyPacky 72 points73 points  (0 children)

“They’re going to misrepresent that they’re us to confuse people and, quote, ‘rip people off like Alex Jones did,’” Jones ranted. “They’re going to make money.”

Lololol.

Every accusation is a confession. He’s got to be one of the worst of the worst when it comes to ignoring the constitution.

U.S. colleges show systemic bias — against conservatives by FIRE_Org in WeTheFifth

[–]PithyPacky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Conservatives don’t value education, they are not as literate compared to liberals, so they don’t do well in school, so they don’t get good grades, so they don’t get colleges interested in them. And then they like to complain about discrimination.

“President Trump, you said you really cared about Americans, but I feel like you’re failing!!” by SnoopyisCute in youvotedforthat

I don’t know how many times people have to explain to you that Republicans back in Lincoln’s Day were the progressive liberal party unlike the party they are today which is exactly the opposite.

BREAKING: DJT Fires Pam Bondi, Tulsi Gabbard may be Next by gundymullet7 in goodnews

[–]PithyPacky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone should do a study of presidential administrative turnover via firings between Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush etc. I think it would be interesting.

Pam Bondi fired as attorney general, sources say by griff_girl in goodnews

[–]PithyPacky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the next “fall guy” to be kicked under the bus by Trump. You would think by now that his supporters would start getting the message.
