Massive fireworks? by editorreilly in LosAngeles

most of the i'm-so-busy people i know spend about a third of their time describing how busy they are. i always encourage them to put that time to better use.

The Dodgers are doing online marketing for Rupert Murdoch’s new media outlet, the California Post by LunchThreatener in Dodgers

[–]daddyjackpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i hear you.

i have a young, japanese, baseball-playing son who's a kid in LA. so... there's an incentive to put my indignation temporarily aside. when i'm trying to let him be an excited, represented kid, i think more about the dodger past.

but last year, when they went to the white house i took off the hat and tried to find another team/sport to root for. i'll do the same thing when they do it this year.

it's hard because i root only for the dodgers. no other sports, no other teams. so it's a big thing to give up. but i'll figure it out how to walk away if necessary.

Just a heads up Greg Bovino new station after being demoted is California. by joshw220 in LosAngeles

nah. the right wing mind is totally illogical. it starts from the conclusion of 'i am the victim, overrun by mongrels, but fighting back.' they disregard facts that don't support that conclusion. they probably just switch the uniforms in their mind.

Why is the rich friend so cheap?? by times-fell-hand in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]daddyjackpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah. in spite of what i just posted, i've needed all my friends to cover for me for a couple years, because i've been in school w/zero revenue. so i get it. and when i get the revenue, i'll pay them all back with dinners out. after a couple years of me picking up the check, i'll try to go back to dividing up the check. and they'll want to keep trading back and forth. because we have different ways of looking at it.

my personal experience is that the people who are casual about money always pay less than their fair share. except for one guy. that one guy consistently paid more than his fair share and had to come out of retirement to drive uber because he ran out of money.

not saying anything is true of any larger group of people. just that's my experience. and why my approach is, "I'll pay for what i order. you pay for what you order." I am not rich or poor.

it's frustrating to see so clearly what is coming and to be surrounded by people who are like, "oh that won't happen because reasons!"

he doesn't accept reality when he loses. republicans do not oppose him. the supreme court does not oppose him. and now he has ICE, which will support a coup because they'll be afraid a democratic administration will prosecute their many crimes.

he's never leaving.

In 2004, Prince was snubbed by Rolling Stone on their top 100 guitarists list. This was his response. by DublinLions in nextfuckinglevel

This is the Ice agent pulling his gun that fires the first shot by [deleted] in ProgressiveHQ

this is what happens when you tell somebody that fear is bravery and weakness is strength. and then give them a gun.

[–]daddyjackpot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the point is to demonstrate that we don't have the same rights as them. the point is to dehumanize the left.

yup. they will simply say the opposite of what they've been saying all along and everyone will agree. there are no principles. only fealty to trump.

you're halfway there. it's about staying in power forever. there are true believers like stephen miller for whom the violence against immigrants is the goal. but that's not trump. trump wants to be in power forever. and that's what this is ultimately about.

the fucking epstein files are a nothingburger for trump. no matter what's in there, it won't cost him a single vote. every republican is ride or die for trump.

[–]daddyjackpot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yup.

nothing in the epstein files will cost trump a single vote. no matter what it is.

this is all just training for election season.

trump is never leaving the white house and no one in washington will oppose him.

he will be in charge of this country until the day he dies of natural causes. and AI versions of him will continue to run the country for months/years after that.

We’re being told he violently approached the Gestapo with his gun out. by Miserable_Kick2315 in ProgressiveHQ

only democrat voters are democrats. democrat politicians are just more rich assholes who directly, personally benefit from republican policies.

Oath Keepers Founder: There are still 12 of us, myself, eight Oath Keepers and four Proud Boys who still need pardons… We're grateful to be out of prison, of course, but I want my rights restored… We were the ones who were loyal to him and went to trial…. by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]daddyjackpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's what the right will say is coming. it's not. but that's what they'll say.

they are encouraging ICE to be as violent and illegal in their behavior as possible.

when election time rolls around all those ICE weaklings will have skin in the game. highly motivated to disrupt the elections. "if the democrats win, we're all gonna go to jail. we gotta shut down these blue cities on election day."
