  • Exclusive: ADL chief compares student protesters to ISIS and al-Qaeda in address to Republican officials

    Jump

  • Genuine question, is it antisemitic for ADL to suggest that opposing genocide is antisemitic? It kinda feels like ADL, IDF, and other political figures want to treat warmongering as an inherently Jewish trait or a Jewish right or something.

    It honestly feels like they're painting Jews with this image. Kind of like how Republicans have painted a picture of America that is antithetical to American values as laid out in the constitution. But they will still claim that you hate America if you oppose them in any way.

  • Trump says Elon Musk will face 'very serious consequences' if he funds Democratic candidates

    Jump

  • I would rather vote for someone who got spite funding by a nazi than to vote for an anti-America, nazi/terrorist. And that's anyone supporting the current regime.

  • Musk shares footage of Trump partying with Jeffrey Epstein as feud intensifies

    Jump

  • He's shining a spotlight on what MAGAts have ignored.

  • Ex-MAGA Rep. Joe Walsh announced Tuesday that he is joining the Democratic Party

    Jump

  • The Democratic Party is just a collection of people. If people like him and Manchin join and vote for liberal policies that would otherwise go conservative, it's a net positive. Anything that they would normally vote against, any other Republican would also vote against.

    The important bit is to push blue area representatives to represent further left ideals. That's what has fucked us over in the past.

  • Former Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre leaves Democratic Party

    Jump

  • She's using "partisan" as a buzzword. It's either an appeal to voters who have soured on the Democrat name or it's a validation fascism as equally valid.

    I'm hoping it's the former. But considering she was never really great at the press secretary thing, I'm wondering if she'll be the token ex-Dem for right-wingers.

  • 'We all are going to die': Iowa Senator Joni Ernst defends Medicaid cuts

    Jump

  • I read "we are all going to die" and I thought finally some outrage. Then I saw "defends" and realized I read it wrong.

    So yeah, let people die is apparently the angle here.

  • Believe it or not, there was a time when the US government built beautiful homes for working-class Americans to deal with a housing crisis

    Jump

  • "We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union [...] promote the general Welfare [...] do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

    Promoting the general welfare is literally stated in the constitution as one of the purposes of the United States. Anyone disagreeing with that hates America.

  • U.S. senators urge Canada to ‘give us another chance’ on trade, tourism - National | Globalnews.ca

    Jump

  • So far, citizens have been deported. But not sent to the torture prison. Having said that, the way that they have sent people away means they absolutely could send a citizen and there's no extra protection.

    In other words, without due process we should assume every single one of them are innocent citizens (not that an immigrant deserves to be tortured any more than a citizen).

  • Trump Chickens Out on Tariff Threat After Call With Europe

    Jump

  • What's crazy is that he was just bragging about having a deal with them. He's so stuck on his tariffs that he's forgetting about "winning" or the appearance of winning. It he just finds an excuse to claim victory and end the tariffs, the average low-information American would believe him.

    So he went back on having a deal. But now they have a deal again.

    Now he looks like a weak loser.

  • U.S. senators urge Canada to ‘give us another chance’ on trade, tourism - National | Globalnews.ca

    Jump

  • The U.S. has become Russia-lite. Literally any non-citizen can be sent off to a torture prison forever for zero reason and with no recourse. (Citizens can too, but it hasn't happened yet.)

  • Trump recommends 50% tariff on European Union starting June 1

    Jump

  • I thought they made a deal or something.

  • Senate passed a surprise 'no tax on tips' bill. Here's what it could mean for workers

    Jump

  • Because they're already not claiming those. So this does nothing. Except if people starting claiming tips and they get rid of the bill, it will make auditing easier.

  • Trump's crypto dinner cost over $1 million per seat, on average

    Jump

  • A small correction, they pay a fee on that amount. But the full amount is just a highly volatile investment. So, that's the amount it could cost them.

  • AOC Seen as ‘Face’ of Democratic Party — and It’s Not Even Close: New Poll

    Jump

  • The Democratic Party is just a vessel. It used to be the right wing (relative). Now it's the left wing (relative). Bernie and AOC don't really fit in with the Dems, but they can. Same with Manchin.

    There was a time where I thought a Musk type could rally many behind a weird Libertarian version of the DNC or RNC and shift the landscape. But he just went hard fascist as soon as he publicly aligned with the right.

  • Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver charged after visiting ICE facility in New Jersey

    Jump

  • The mayor refused to leave because he was where they authorized him to wait. And then he did leave.

    That arrest is no better.

  • Trump Admin Admits It Could Game Court System Without Nationwide Injunctions

    Jump

  • I don't understand it for the reason you said. But also, they went out of their way to take a fake theoretical website case with no defendants who had damages just so they could rule on it.

  • US to slash tariff on small China parcels from 120% to 54%

    Jump

  • So is the 30% on top of the old 20%, or is this a small parcel specific thing?

  • New York Mayor Eric Adams forces cancellation of concert by anti-genocide singer Kehlani

    Jump

  • I wouldn't say all. But most. And it doesn't seem to be about the power. I think they genuinely support the genocide. The support from Israel, DNC leaders, conservative "moderates", and powerful individuals is just a plus.

  • Bill Maher calls Larry David’s satire of his Trump dinner ‘kind of insulting to 6 million dead Jews’

    Jump

  • The guy sending innocent people to their deaths to live in concentration camps built for torture with no hope of escape and no due process cannot be compared to... oh shit. But it's totally different because it's just brown people. Oh damn.

    Trump is already in late stage Hitler. There's just a few more guardrails still in place, for now. But we're just a couple failsafes away from WW2 Germany.

  • Sanders says Arkansas in 'dire need of federal assistance,' but Trump says no

    Jump

  • I live in NWA. I know a lot of nice people. I know a lot of nice MAGA people and a lot of nice people who support actual American values too.

    But 2/3 of this state still supports Trump, Tom Cotton, and SHS. Even Washington County went for Trump. Still, 1/3 of the people here are level headed and I remind myself of that every once in awhile.
