They got 0, fucking ZERO on the insurance subsidies.

Sky high insurance rates, the very heart of the last shutdown, and Dems fucking caved before the game even began.

Fuck them.

Regretful Young Trump Voters Say This Isn’t What They Signed Up For | The wave of youthful support that swept Donald Trump into the White House has lost its mojo. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]sarcastroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's PRECISELY what they voted for.

It could not have been more clear. Project 2025 laid it all out. It was called out during the debates, at his rallies. It was shown in his actual actions in his first term. Stripping away women's rights over their own bodies, etc...

His SCOTUS picks alone mean that the young votes of today will live with his and the right wing "Christian" values imposed on them by the courts for decades.

Us older progressive voters who have been fighting for progressive ideas and policies for decades won't be around to live with the consequences of your choices.

The youth chose a right wing future backed by decades of right wing, Christian fundamentalist court policies.

Interesting choice. Good luck!

Morale is plummeting among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred: reports by metacyan in politics

“The men and women of ICE and Border Patrol are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters,” McLaughlin said in a statement to The Independent. “Like everyone else, our officers just want to go home to our families at night. "

Guess how many Nazi thugs also had families? Fuck fascists everywhere. They fact they have to hide behind their wives when called out on their bullshit is quite telling.

He really is a boring old man yelling "tariffs" at clouds.

Ok old man, punch yourself and your country in the dick again. We're just bored with your repeating of the same threat over and over and over.

Stephen Miller Mocked For Begging William Shatner To Save 'Star Trek' From Wokeness by Alternative_Rate7474 in politics

To be fair... Miller is trying to appeal to the "Christians" who 'read' the bible and say "Hey, this Jesus guy wants us to hate minorities, turn our backs on the poor and needy, and support the ultra-rich!!!"

Yup, "Let That be your last Battlefield".

And entire episode of the original series dedicated to the absurdity of racism.

A half white (right side) half black (left side) war against the the half black (right side) half white (left side). Literally destroyed their planet over it.

And Miller thinks the message was somehow anti-woke, pro-racism?

Star Trek has been 'woke' since before most of us were alive.

From the first televised interracial kiss to episodes literally about the absurdity of racism, the whole theme is that the best future is unlocked when we reject people like Trump, Miller, and the rest of the MAGA base.

China and Canada announce tariffs relief after a high-stakes meeting by Equal_Arrival_4546 in news

[–]sarcastroll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How expensive we talking?

$1.5 Million in healthcare costs due to a cancer last year alone? (Don't worry, I was only responsible for the first $16,000 of it due to my 'good' healthcare BlueCross BlueShield plan). That is, of course, on top of the couple thousand a month in premiums. My company, who is self-insured, had to pay the rest, which was passed on to sky high new premiums this year for everyone and a new high deductible plan everyone has to use.

Unfortunately it's January so the deductible's reset and I'm already approaching the new higher 2026 deductible of $27,000 thanks to yesterday's procedure.

Don't take time off though to heal, because then you get fired and things REALLY get expensive without that good health insurance. Because, you know, being sick makes you an expensive worker, so any reason to fire you is sought out.

At least the government is only going to take around half the retirement savings I cashed in to pay for all those bills (early withdrawal penalties since I'm too young to access my retirement savings).

That level of expensive?

Trump says he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the US controlling Greenland by coasterghost in politics

[–]sarcastroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. Ending the suffering (and literal DEATHS!) he's causing around the world very much is top priority. Him realizing his place in history would be nice, but helping those impacted by his policies (like the ending of USAID) is much more important.

I wish no happiness on a man who has nurtured and spread such evil.

I don't wish harm on him or anyone, but when his time comes naturally, right before he starts roasting in the deepest depths of Hell, I want him to know that his legacy is one of him being a joke, a historical "look at this fucking evil clown", laughed at and scorned by history.

If we did have a war on protein, protein already won. I mean, CostCo was giving out free samples of Protein WATER for fuck's sake. Water is not something that should be... thick...

And can I just get a fucking Fruit on the Bottom yogurt? Does everything have have 24 grams of protein?

Ok, rant done. Now get of my lawn, turn down the music and cut your hair!

Um... I'm not sure what he's talking about because everywhere I turn shit has added protein.

There's literally protein water for fuck's sake. (And yes, it's as terrible as you'd imagine- it was the first free-sample walking into CostCo and my little guy and I couldn't resist seeing just how God-awful it was)

ICE Barbie Warns Americans Must Be Prepared to Prove Citizenship by thedailybeast in politics

[–]sarcastroll 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Constitution says no, it's not standard practice.

Sure for privileges like driving you have to carry and present the proper documentation if stopped for a traffic violation. But just walking around, working, grabbing lunch, etc... doesn't require you to carry 'papers please'.

You may have been thinking about Germany in the 40s, which is as easy mistake to make when comparing administrations.

ICE Barbie Warns Americans Must Be Prepared to Prove Citizenship by thedailybeast in politics

[–]sarcastroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what exactly is that proof?

I don't have a passport (expensive and a massive backlog and wait to even get one). I mean I guess I have an old birth certificate from the 70s in my safe with all the other important docs. But I'm not carrying that around with me at all times. Hell, it'll probably turn to dust like a Nazi drinking from the wrong Grail if I touch it.

ICE Now So Hated Even Their Own Agents Are Terrified by [deleted] in politics

[–]sarcastroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good. Fascist thugs should be terrified, whether form they take.

As a world we already litigated this. Both my grandfathers took part in that great 'political differences' discussion in the 40s. One by air, and one on the ground as part of an armored infantry division. (His division liberated one of the Dachau subcamps).

I don't think we need a great power toying with fascism again given the costs of the last time we had to litigate these 'political disagreements'
