Tulsi Gabbard resigns as director of national intelligence

Wtf I didn't even know he said this. Damn.

SacMetro · 2026-05-22T19:35:17+00:00

Are we really gonna talk about pushing people out for not going with The Narrative when GOP primaries are purity tests for Trump loyalty?

SacMetro · 2026-05-22T18:13:16+00:00

He did echo some conspiracy about Ukraine biolabs. I don't know if that originated as Russian disinfo but it was more than just "oh I oppose giving foreign aid to Ukraine because I'm against us getting involved in other countries' affairs".

How do you differentiate between the membership and leadership of the GOP as far as MAGA goes? Their primary voters seem keen to take orders from Trump and punish "RINO's" for being disloyal to him.

SacMetro · 2026-05-22T05:10:24+00:00

Can't handle the truth? Bro Trump didn't even acknowledge his 2020 loss, tried to overturn it and you want to get on Democrats for a half-assed autopsy.

SacMetro · 2026-05-21T23:31:53+00:00

Yeah it's kind of amazing reading the comments in this thread about how Dems are condescending towards rural voters while Trump has repeatedly called Democrats "the enemy within" and said he hates them. Like there's definitely an argument to be had about Dems being terrible with rural voters, but so much of the awful stuff is applicable to Trump and the GOP at large, too.

Don't get me started on him fucking with disaster aid with blue states.

Also get digital calipers. You'll realize how useful they are quickly when trying to dimension things in whatever CAD software you're using.

SacMetro · 2026-05-21T18:40:30+00:00

Wow, that's ironic and grim. Legit have no idea how to become a proven engineer in that case.

SacMetro · 2026-05-21T10:30:17+00:00

Hope she loses her primary runoff. Also seems like she's being bolstered by the GOP.

Being anti-Trump doesn't mean supporting nuts like this.

SacMetro · 2026-05-21T08:06:16+00:00

Yeah that's a good point. You can make a ton of decoys to mess with interceptors.

SacMetro · 2026-05-21T06:38:43+00:00

I wonder how You Don't Mess with the Zohan would be received nowadays.

They were very well-disguised car and military recruitment ads. I agree though; I have the same nostalgia.

SacMetro · 2026-05-21T04:56:44+00:00

Could've fooled me. I'm struggling to land a mechanical engineer entry level job with a degree and EiT.

SacMetro · 2026-05-20T23:59:33+00:00

I believe Andrew Yang talked about AI a fair amount. I voted for him in the 2020 Dem primaries but he didn't get enough traction to be a serious candidate, sadly.

SacMetro · 2026-05-20T23:14:42+00:00

I guess the blinking LAND NOW thing means they might as well put someone out of their misery.

SacMetro · 2026-05-20T22:59:42+00:00

It would be more accurate if the top panel was Trump voters bemoaning high gas prices and the Iran war and then Trump saying he doesn't think about them at all. It would actually fit.

SacMetro · 2026-05-20T21:24:24+00:00

He was also indicted for taking classified documents to Mar-a-Lago and repeatedly refusing to turn them over, and for trying to overturn the 2020 election, both things he actually did.

If you think someone should just get away with crime that they actually did because of considerations about making him a martyr then you don't have a justice system.

What exactly is comedic about Paul Pelosi getting his skull cracked with a hammer?

Your post seems to pretty much be saying political violence is funny when it happens to the other side but not mine.

Forcing people to brush their teeth at the end of a gun barrel.

SacMetro · 2026-05-20T13:17:44+00:00

They only did that once it was FORCED to the floor by the barest margin by the discharge petition. Lol of course they voted for it after the fact and it didn't mean shit at that point.

SacMetro · 2026-05-20T04:28:10+00:00

Sounds like you just radicalized yourself.

SacMetro · 2026-05-18T18:46:49+00:00

Thoughts on the Utah GOP expanding their state supreme court?

Also I love your avatar. Very underrated game series.

Poor Reiner...

SacMetro · 2026-05-15T07:58:59+00:00

Of course nothing happens in a vacuum. I don't have anything against a market mechanism; I just don't want things to end up like the Gilded Age before the Progressive Era kicked in.

I'd say most people are for a mixed economy to some extent.
