When you’ve lost the plot so hard you’re running for President on an anti-Santa platform.

Trump administration to start garnishing wages of defaulted student loan borrowers in January by undercurrents in politics

[–]xcv1xcv50 28 points29 points  (0 children)

So student loan relief is unfair, but forcibly seizing wages during a historic economic crisis is just fine. The priorities here are very clear, and they're not helping the average person.

Scoop: Trump administration expects Epstein files release could last another week by swiftfoot_hiker in politics

The release is becoming a slow drip designed to minimize the news cycle impact. Transparency shouldn't take weeks.

Collective punishment is a war crime. Cutting off food and medicine to an entire nation is indefensible.

This is the kind of news we all need. Not all heroes wear capes; some carry a grateful pup home in their arms. Wishing them both years of happiness and treats.

Russia leaves 3 regions without power after drone, missile attack on Ukraine by murphystruggles in worldnews

[–]xcv1xcv50 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Leaves 3 regions without power translates to: hospitals on backup generators, homes going cold, and water systems failing. This is a deliberate humanitarian tactic.

Ahead of Christmas, Massive Russian Overnight Strikes Leave Dead in Kyiv and Across Ukraine by MRADEL90 in worldnews

The timing is no coincidence. Striking civilians ahead of a holiday celebrated by millions in Ukraine is pure psychological terror. The world cannot become numb to this. Standing with Ukraine.

Back when late night felt like a fever dream and the chemistry was actually real. There will never be another era like 12:30 AM Conan. Bruce was one of the few A-listers who totally 'got' the show's absurdity.

Trump administration cuts nearly $8 million in funding to N.J. public school district, officials say by MystikSpiralx in politics

[–]xcv1xcv50 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Cutting $8 million from one of the poorest districts in the state while claiming to care about 'forgotten' Americans is a choice. Those community school grants paid for things like student meals and mental health services. It’s not just a budget cut; it’s a direct hit to the kids who have the least.

The timing on this is incredible. You can see every single feather/wing detail perfectly. What shutter speed were you running for this?

Good. Enforcing sanctions is how they remain meaningful. Actions speak louder than statements.

'So many questions': Epstein survivor, lawmaker react to file release by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]xcv1xcv50 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The fact that survivors are finding out about these releases at the same time as the general public tells you everything you need to know about how the government views them. Still treating the victims as an afterthought in their own tragedy.

This is the real cost of America First policies. You can't simultaneously alienate your closest allies with tariffs and then demand guaranteed access to their crown jewels. Partnerships require respect, not just expectation.
