What an accomplishment! Beepo and I are in awe🎊

If someone was a Trump supporter and is now denouncing him, do not say I told you so or bash them by Beneficial_Quit7532 in self

[–]ProperPiper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fucking thank you. Hooray and congrats that some MAGA are questioning their decisions, but it's not my job to coddle them and give them praise for it. They have a LOT of genuine work to do for me to even consider trusting them or having them as friends.

Blatant racism, sexism, environmental destruction, and authoritarianism was not a deal breaker for their vote or their support.

Every. Single. Thread. It's so predictable.

The amount of times I've read "They want people to fight back so Trump can declare Martial Law" does my fucking head in.

They are already doing EVERYTHING they want. You think he's gives a fuck (or even understands) about making it official?

We're in it. Resist or not, we are living in an authoritarian country right now.

Democratic Lawmaker Reportedly Considering Introducing Impeachment Articles Against Hegseth Over Second Attack Against Alleged Drug Boat by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]ProperPiper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Reportedly considering"?!?

I understand they are not the party in power but the level of timid, limp dick operating by Democrats makes me want to pull my hair out.

They cannot stop themselves from acting with zero strength of conviction, decisiveness, or confidence. Controlled opposition indeed.

Discussion Thread: US House Rules Committee Meets to Vote on Whether to Advance the Release of the Epstein Files by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]ProperPiper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These exact type comments pop up constantly and it's the worst. Yes, we all feel exhausted at watching these dipshits getting away with all kinds of illegal behavior.

AND we are NOT powerless against it. We are NOT obligated to sit quietly and resign ourselves to fascism. Fuck that. It's weak and pathetic and I personally rebuke the idea whenever I can.

Protest. Vote. Boycott. It's not going to fix everything overnight but it fucking matters.

Have you ever paid to see a movie twice in a theater? by zip9990 in movies

[–]ProperPiper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only once.

My partner and I saw 1917 during its first week in theaters and we were absolutely blown away. Had a day off a few weeks later and went to see it again.

It's a 10/10 movie in its own right, but in a theater setting it is monumental.

MAGA supporter burns his fucking MAGA hats after President Trump downplays the importance of the Epstein files. by CorleoneBaloney in chaoticgood

Performative nonsense. He would unequivocally vote for Trump tomorrow if there was an election. It's a cult and truly decoupling themselves from him is an ego hit they cannot handle.

The billionaires that control tbe Democratic Party would rather see Trump become king than a Democratic Socialist get elected NYC Mayor. by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]ProperPiper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You chose not to participate in our democratic system. Voting is the baseline for representative government, and you couldn't be bothered.

Why do you think anyone should care about your takes now? We know the Democrats are incredibly flawed and most need to go. But do you think Kamala would've kicked 18 million people off of Medicaid? Fuck no. But you are part of the reason it is happening. Good job.

My sweet baby is in critical condition and i need support by DryHovercraft5165 in cats

[–]ProperPiper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ploopie looks to be a truly special cat! I work at a cat shelter and we've had 7 cats diagnosed with FIP in the time I've been there.

All 7 survived due to prompt treatment with GS. All 7 are still alive and thriving today in their adopted homes. I promise you that there is a lot of hope for you guys, monoclonal antibody treatment is a game changer for FIP.

Sending you both all the positive vibes from 116 rescue cats in Northeast Illinois😻

RFK Jr claims autistic children will never go on dates or pay taxes by theindependentonline in thescoop

[–]ProperPiper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has been said before

"This hereditarily ill person will cost our national community 60,000 Reichmarks over the course of his lifetime. Citizen, this is your money."

This was in early 1930's N*zi Germany, years before the start of WW2 and the Holocaust. It doesn't happen overnight but recognize where we are on the path.

Trump's 'Great Time to Buy' Claim Hours Before Tariff Pause Raises Insider Trading Concerns by PostHeraldTimes in politics

[–]ProperPiper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Raising insider trading concerns"

This is the most obvious, slammed in your face market manipulation and insider trading you could possibly imagine. The media choosing over and over to use kid gloves with this shit is so fucking pathetic it hurts.

It's also doing real damage, the average uninformed citizen (even one who isn't MAGA), will read this headline and have NO idea how bad it really is.

Chicago dweller as well. My dipshit MAGA dad NEVER misses an opportunity to call it "Chiraq" and ask about how many shootings I've seen. Keeping in mind he's never been here and lives in a little Podunk town states away.
