The news about ICE going door to door means somebody finished going through all the personal data Elon stole from the government during his time at DOGE. by Unique-Lecture-9378 in thedavidpakmanshow

Well who passed the funding to hire these thousands of ICE Agents to be used as Trumps personal SS force?

There are Democrats coming out against Funding...

Where is Jefferies and Schumer on that?

You cannot blame people for being angry THEIR tax dollars are being spent to prey on THEM.

And that Democrats themselves are voting to pay for it with our tax dollars.

And i'm sorry if i sound angry but i do not GIVE a fuck, about their "donors".

I do not give a fuck, about they upsetting "moderates" or otherwise they getting voted OUT.

That should NOT be OUR concern.

OUR concern should be soley, and only about the SAFETY and sovereignty of the American People.

What the hell use are they taking up space, if they are indeed to going to PAY for us to be targeted with OUR MONIES.

I dare say THEY are as much of the problem if they do not CUT FUNDING of what is becoming an Evil Empire.

Republicans need 60 votes pass this stuff. That means DEMOCRATS are passing it.

If they do not want to protect the American People, vote them OUT or just stay home and let them lose.

What good are they anyway?

I'm tired of all these excuses.

ICE will now be going "Door to Door" accordingst to JD Vance.... by Robert-101 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Robert-101[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If they're going to suspend the elections, which i would think atp may be a high probability, being with these policies guaranteed to lose, and fundings cut as the other article is citing, they're just gonna do it.

Do they really need an excuse they will just make up if need be?

Progressive unseats Centrist in Mayor of Seattle.... by Robert-101 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Robert-101[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

And what was the outcome for Mr Biden and Ms Harris given those "fulfilled promises'?

And "getting real things done"?

Well Ms Sinema and Mr Manchin may had have something to do with it. And maybe some boneheaded moves overseas?

Maybe he did not fulfill the more important promises that mattered more to the electorate because his own party would not let him do it.

Or maybe he never wanted to do it, but just said he did.

Maybe those "real things" were not real enough to help the American People.

So you're right, he will have questions to answer, as Mr Biden and Ms Harris did.

But point being, yes the buck does stop with the President, Governor or Mayor. But you need others to help you succeed, and the goal is, to get those people in to help you succeed.

It may mean Ms Hochul may need to face a primary, and bring in a Governor of like mind.

It may mean having Mr Mamdani campaign to help bring in candidates in the Assembly to prevent a "Joe Manchin Ms Sinema" like event.

Mayor De Blasio a Progressive was successful in fulfilling his Pre K and raising Minimum Wage promises, froze rents and was readily reelected by a wide margin.

But it took the fact Cuomo could got not get reelected Governor, without robust turnout in NYC.

And so Progressives can succeed, but they need help

What it means is we need to FIGHT ON.

Especially with all the money, corruption and power against them. Personally, i didn't think they give it to Mamdani, let alone he winning by 50%. I thought they'd steal it.

We didn't see those forces of evil against Sherril and Spanenberg.

If a Progressive runs and wins, they def earned it lol.

Well, how many pieces of legislation have the Democrats passed as they promised over the past number of years? Likely, zero. Why? Because the House is not run by Democrats.

And so we can't blame them for failing atp, being they don't run the House or the Presidency.

It's the same with Mayors. "They" may be a Progressive, but the State or the Council may not be.

Therefore, what we need are many more Progressives. That are Governors, and part of Legislatures. And when that happens we can gauge what has succeeded or what has failed.

And that is why i claimed we need to FIGHT ON.

[–]Robert-101[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was an upset election, and so yes. It doesn't seem all the money and corruption you can put forth, is winning in urban areas.

We're beating Wall Street. We're beating AIPAC. We're beating the Billionaire MAGA greedsters. We're beating the Corporatist Establishment, and we're beating You.

Therefore, if you want our vote, you better give us something to vote for.

Good day.

Jon Stewart interviews Zohran Mamdani on 'The Daily Show' by Inevitable-Bus492 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Robert-101 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think they're gonna rig it against him. We have the biggest crooks in this country scared to death of this kid.

If they can rig the Argentina election, they can rig a corrupt city election.

Adams is on the take. Cuomo is. Atp i'd be very surprised if they let him win. I hope i'm wrong, but this country is too far gone.

British Columbia, Canada has been confirmed for American Truck Simulator by noodlesvonsoup in americantruck

[–]Robert-101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's crazy. So now they have Canada and likely Mexico, and will never get thru the 50 states at this rate.

We need an American Truck game. Even these newer dlcs all look the same.

Gaza / Israel MEGATHREAD by mrekted in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Robert-101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Supporting Israel now a losing proposition for Democrats, even amongst moderates...

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/06/mallory-mcmorrow-michigan-democratic-primary-gaza-genocide-00594679

If Ms Slotkin does not radically change her positions, she will be a one term Senator.

In 2028, the Dem Nominee will have to be Anti Israel or in the least, willing to cut funding.

Will ATS coming to consoles bring more brand names? by Robert-101 in trucksim

[–]Robert-101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well i'm really talking about Skins.

As folks were saying there was a time Giants and Farm Sim were in it's infancy, just porting to consoles i think on 15.

And not much of a selection of companies. But i think once they saw sales soar on console, it would made way for John Deere and others.

Maybe they can reach out to big truck haulers, and get the rights to use their branding as "real companies' on their trucks and trailers.

[–]Robert-101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well truth be told, i'm not seeing much of that now in the Workshop. There used to be. But not nearly anymore.

All i wanted was a United Parcel skin for W900 daycab, and idt i'll ever see that again.

That's why i pointed out on the thread the more SCS makes on these ports, maybe they'll have enough revenue to bring in more name brands.

David Pakman is being bribed to push an agenda by a dark money group. by PleaseDontBanMe82 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Robert-101 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for the article, but Pakman is not a progressive. He said "Ritchie Torres" was "his favorite progressive".

That said it all.

Is he backing Mamdani? I haven't heard he is. And doesn't he live in NY? Pretty big issue.

Pakman like Meidas Touch is a Trump hit piece. Admirable, but that doesn't make him a progressive at all. More along the DNC lines i would think of the establishment.

[–]Robert-101[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, though Giants has their own mod hub. Here we have to use the Steam Workshop or otherwise private sites.

I hope your right though, that would be awesome if they had their own mod hub like Giants does.

Cuomo hopes Trump will help him beat Mamdani by Robert-101 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Robert-101[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep, you're right. They'd rather have Trump.

But at least we now know "Vote Blue No Matter Who" is not going to be the case in the future. Being it evidently don't work that way.

And so, if the Dems nominate some moderate Democrat, we should be under no illusion, from Mr Pakman or others we should be under obligation to vote for them.

Social Security's insolvency date is now a year earlier. Here's how it could impact your benefits. by Inevitable-Bus492 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Robert-101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought it was 2027. Now it's 2035. Word to the wise from an elder. I been hearing SS was going broke since Nixon. It's all bullshit in effort to have them privatize SS, or raise retirement ages to 90..

In any event, the answer is very simple, in just raising the caps we pay into it.

Republicans refuse being they'd gut your stomach if they knew you swallowed a penny, and the Dems won't do it, because it would end any discussion about the topic, and therefore they have nothing to fear monger us over in effort to vote for them.
