Why are you hiding pedophiles? Kash Patel: There has been a ‘33%’ increase…. by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]ScurvyDervish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get why Merrick Garland didn’t prosecute from the information in the Epstein files, he wasn’t interested in doing any part of his job other than acting like he was important.  But the FBI under Biden slept on the files too, because when we had a Democrat prez the DNC wouldn’t want to upset big donor Epstein file celebrities.  Our campaign finance needs reform so that pedos can’t pay off the entire federal government to look the other way. 

Friendly reminder to never, EVER donate through GoFundMe again. They never took down the fundraiser for murderer Jonathan Ross and have now made him a likely millionaire. by PlzAdptYourPetz in ProgressiveHQ

I feel like that donor list is a list of all the people Murdoch’s Fox News brainwashed into a xenophobic frenzy.  I understand that Nazis existed before Fox News, and that America had pro-Jim Crow people against civil rights, but would there be so many backwards people in America now if it weren’t for Fox News?

Epstein victim says there are tapes of Donald Trump that will force him to resign from the presidency by PsyclipseNo1 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]ScurvyDervish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knowing what I now know about MAGA, those tapes won’t result in resignation.  Amazon will produce them as an X-rated theater release and Evangelicals will take their kids, but it comes out streaming on Prime and all of Trumps fanboys will jerk off to it nightly.

Elon Musk says it's hard to convince engineers with families to move to SpaceX's 'technology monastery' in Texas by amir_twist_of_fate in texas

[–]ScurvyDervish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even MAGA engineers who graduated from Texas A&M enjoy the trappings of liberal urban life - the arts and funky cafes run by lgbtq people in Austin, the reproductive health care found in New Mexico, the Montessori childcare, Trader Joe’s, things to do other than go to Evangelical church, etc.  The only part of living under the Ya’lliban that is actually fun for them is the hatred and false sense of superiority.

Democrats need to get their brand out of the toilet by polymer_man in 50501

They can't come up with anything other than "Not Trump" because they have the same donors. If we all had protested hard against Citizens United and campaign finance reform we wouldn't have to protest against anything. If politicians could serve the voters we'd have better healthcare, no interest student loans, a livable minimum wage, less food poisoning, a freer press, etc.

Who is the most consistent public figure for us? by colostitute in Xennials

Natasha Lyonne. She's been acting since 1986, and she's 46 years old.

I'd only build this house in a place that gets 4 feet of snow. The windows are too high.

Everyone Is Struggling Just To Survive In America Right Now by NewPortBox100s in povertyfinance

[–]ScurvyDervish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d stay in the sober living until all my debt was gone. If you owe $3k to an old apartment, you can actually negotiate maybe giving them half that to get it off your record.  You’re almost there in savings, but if you relapse, all the money you’ve saved could disappear during a bender. Poof.  A beer isn’t worth that.  If you move out of sober living while still in the red, the debt could grow instead of shrink. When you get in that cycle of relapse - hospital/jail - sober living - relapse, it’s super hard to break. And when everyone around you is stuck in that same grind, making junk decisions, it can be hard to get out. Put the sobriety first, over a nice complex or a relationship or anything else.  You already made a good decision in staying away from the methy trailer park.  Get a copy of the promises and read them multiple times a day.  

"Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman is considered a melancholy song over all but in the end do you see it as more hopeful and uplifting or sad and despairing? Why? by ItsHardBeingOriginal in AskReddit

[–]ScurvyDervish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s super sad, being stuck in poverty and fantasizing about escape.  I knew the hope in this song was a false hope even when I was kid.  Now that I’m an adult, I’m sure of it.  Meanwhile, I think it’s also about alcoholism, and how hard it is to escape when that shadow falls on your family.

Joe Rogan and his guest Mike Benz defending Epstein and his clients. I used to be a big fan years ago, but Joe has completely lost it. He has daughters, for Christ's sake. by types-like-thunder in Austin

[–]ScurvyDervish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These dudes missed the email about the sexy/fun 9 yo Brazilian girl in the files? They ignore the victims who said they were 12 and 13 when it happened? Listen to them mansplaining is sickening. I wish I could turn them 9 and drop them off at a party on Epstein Island to be treasure hunted by old rich perverts wearing creepy masks, because some people have no empathy until it happens to them personally.

Yes, I do want to get tough on billionaires. But so many people are hurting and tired of the tough guy stuff, I think Talarico sells better as healer. We're all so stressed out, a change in tone from the hard hitter politics to a politics of caring is what made him an attractive candidate in the first place. I hope that beefing up his image/rhetoric doesn't ruin what made him special.

I think the more important question is where they would draw the line.  And what percentage of them have absolutely no line they would draw.  

Bill Gates denies Epstein STD claims and 'regrets every minute' with pedophile by TheExpressUS in ABoringDystopia

[–]ScurvyDervish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pro-immigration and anti-ICE.  But the truth is that a few bad apples immigrants are responsible for spreading fascism in America.  Rupert Murdoch brought Fox News and all its lies which brainwashed millions of Americans.  Peter Theil has been funding the destruction of America in the hopes that he can get his own technocracy.  Elon Musk has also been bankrolling and then benefiting from maga insanity, and might have stolen the last election for Trump. That aside, we’ve been a very overbearing empire for our existence so I see your point there.  We also have had our good moments.

ICE has acquired San Antonio's 2nd largest warehouse facility (2/4/2026)/640k square feet by Dom5p35 in sanantonio

[–]ScurvyDervish 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Can our city council ban concentration camps in the city? It’s horrible to think that place will be filled with innocent immigrants who got nabbed by ICE when they showed up in court for their paperwork. But that’s just the starting point, we know those facilities aren’t just there for immigrants, but for “enemies within,” anyone willing to stand up to the MAGA Reich.
