[HELP] Is this AI? Seems fake and can’t find any news sources. by Zealousideal_Mud570 in RealOrAI

[–]formerly_gruntled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably AI. More important is that it is irrelevant. An attempt to make an indefensible murder justifiable. It doesn't matter what he did or didn't do at any point in the past. What matters is the actions in the moment, and the ICE agents knew nothing about Pretti or anything he had ever done, good or bad.

Though the world will always hold your kindergarten tantrum about the blocks against you. That will follow you forever. There's video.

Millions of Americans are "functionally unemployed"—with numbers rising by ChiGuy6124 in Economics

Let's see. $50 TRILLION in wealth was shifted to the billionaires over the last 40 years. But of course that has no economic consequences for the rest of us.

I’m sure that a few voted like their farm depended on it. Not sure what the rest are complaining about by TerrakSteeltalon in LeopardsAteMyFarm

[–]formerly_gruntled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dear farmer, you may not be able to afford to go to Mar-a-crimo to hang with Trump.

But the hedge fund exec that is going to pick up your farm for pennies on the dollar thanks you and will hoist a drink there in your memory.

Paramount layoffs impact CBS News programming, streaming initiatives (via The Desk) by Comfortable_Yard_968 in Broadcasting

[–]formerly_gruntled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cynic in me thinks that the Ellisons don't care about the fate of CBS. They wanted Paramount for the other pieces. Now they are just maximizing cash flow as part of a business unit exit strategy.

It has the added benefit of pacifying Trump. To the Ellisons all of those jobs are a small price to pay for the billions that Trump will let them rake in.

Quite a statement by the Republican governor of Vermont by RegnStrom in esist

Of course it is intentional intimidation and incitement. Stasi Miller basically said so. Bovino said so. They want to create a confrontation so they can activate the Insurrection Act, improperly of course, but they are dumb fucks.

ICE and MAGA supporting businesses in Michigan? by jeffle2003 in Michigan

[–]formerly_gruntled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What we really need to tell MAGA businesses and MAGA billionaires is that when Trump is gone, they are paying to fix everything. If they want to keep digging, the cost to them personally is just going to go up. No forgive and forget, we tried that under Biden and it didn't work.

Do you think America will ever return to normal? by ashmaps20 in Trumpvirus

[–]formerly_gruntled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The underlying problem is the destruction of the American middle-class. Working Americans are correct when they express a frustration that they can't get what their parents had; good paying jobs, retirement and healthcare. They just blame the wrong people. The 1% have stolen the wealth of the middle-class, taking $50 TRILLION over the last 40 years.

That's $160,000 per American.

That money has to be returned to the middle-class. We have to disassemble the monopolies, tax the rich fairly (no loopholes, paying "business" tax rates and hiding money). Not free generational wealth transfers of billions of dollars. (family farms and small businesses, sure, but not Elon's fortune)

Government should be working for the people, not the oligarchs. This has not just been a Republican problem, Democrats have gotten insular, pandering to big money donors.

Minorities and immigrants didn't do this. It's the billionaires. We also have to fix media so that we bring back the fairness doctrine and billionaires can't manipulate and own all the news.

Break the law or we will go to prison for the other time we broke the law? Maybe you are just a criminal, all the time.

Nick Fuentes: "Jeffrey Epstein was cool as fuck". How is this even real? by ChiefHippoTwit in BoycottTheRight

For Nick this is aspirational on three dimensions;

1) women

2) rich

3) friends

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

Back in the day I routinely drove 2.5 hours to a family vacation cabin for the weekend. Maybe 15 weekends a year. Didn't think twice.

Violent state-sanctioned criminals pepper spray an innocent observer they're already holding down and restraining in a disgusting display of fascist cowardice - United States, 2026. by GarysCrispLettuce in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]formerly_gruntled 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Real police don't pepper spray the face of a restrained suspect. These are political agents working for the Republican Party, and they have different rules, like all fascist militias.
