The part of this I keep expecting is Trump promising this, then not actually paying the military and either pretending he did or claiming the 'deep state' prevented him from doing so.

Now, Iโm standing up to Donald Trump as he rips health care away from Maine people and drives up the costs on everything.
I would absolutely throw the media into this pool too, because whoo boy, journos are already trying to sell the idea of 'Real Americans won't care and you're all weirdos for caring'.
24.10.2025 03:51 โ ๐ 39 ๐ 20 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0Well... as a journalist are you TELLING them about it? Are you giving them the information on what the legal requirements are to make changes to the White House? How about the information on what Trump has done with all the contents of the East Wing?
Because that might just impact it a little.
I beg of progressives to *just this once* understand the meaning of *symbols* and *pride* and *caring* about things that aren't just "what should the government give me like a vending machine?"

Biden starved the media. So they refused to cover any of the positive things he did and blamed everything Republicans did to stop on him on Dems.
Harris took it a step further and gave social media influencers the spots at the DNC reserved for MSM, and they murdered her.

Not wages, education, utility bills, health care, housing, food insecurity, veterans, child care, climate disasters, tariffs, national security, or a gov shutdown.
A ballroom.
They tore down half the damn White House and now they put up /pol/ in its place.
We're truly being governed by the worst people America has to offer and still people are like "But Democrats haven't earned my vote"...
We need a total and complete shutdown of people using the term โthe DNCโ until our country's posters can figure out what the Democratic National Committee actually is and does.

Gotta love how many people have replied to a post making fun of folks acting like the DNC is specifically responsible for creating primary candidates...by acting like the DNC created a primary candidate and got caught.
A lot of people who read but lack literacy on this site...
broke: how dare the DNC push this old but popular 2 term governor against Platner, the only person who should be allowed to run
woke: how dare the DNC not vet Platner before we got our hopes up that he was the new lefty populist standard bearer?

A tweet by Mark Kretschmann showing two photos of the xAI office on Grokipedia release day. The office is filled with small camping tents set up between desks and along hallways, suggesting that engineers have been sleeping there while working late. The caption notes itโs early morning and the engineers are still in their tents, joking that a good nightโs sleep does wonders.
