β€œInteresting” is a mild word to use for these times.

But it’s not market manipulation. Nothing to see here.

These are not normal times
YouTube video by Of Course You Feel That Way These are not normal times

My wife released the first video on her new YouTube channel - Of Course You Feel That way.

She's been working on this for a while but I think @booker.senate.gov inspired her to get it done!
Check it out.

As someone who else pointed out, it’s Fox News hosts cosplaying as government officials.

A great introduction even if I prefer the full, unedited version.

What a dumb f&$k he is. They are shutting down half the government regardless. And yes, people would be screaming but that’s the point. We’re already dreaming now. Let Trump hurt everyone and see how they like him then. Stand on your fucking principals.

Funding their destruction is the worst option. That is a vote for oligarchy, against democracy, & will be the biggest stain on your record. You can be sure we will never let you forget being a traitor to Congress and the constitution. & we won’t let your family forget long after your gone.

It’s not a deflection. It’s pointing out how silly it is to get worked up over ten college trans athletes if you aren’t going to get worked up over 100s of measles cases.

Anyone read 1984?

Don’t worry, Trump will pardon him and give him asylum. The only question is how much of a β€œdonation” he has to make.

I didn’t say he couldn’t do anything he wants. The fact that he could legally through congress but isolated choosing to do it otherwise is telling. His policies aren’t popular and congresspeople could not afford to go along with them. But the results of the election mean he does not have a mandate.

10.03.2025 20:48 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Again, I don’t disagree but I don’t see winning with one of the slimmest margins ever and less than 50% as providing a mandate.

10.03.2025 19:36 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I’m not arguing that. My point is he’s not that popular and he certainly doesn’t have a mandate.

More people voted for someone other than him. He lost more votes than he got.

Of course musk is an awful person with completely wrong priorities. Thats the whole point of my original comment. He’s so concerned about declining birth rates but not serious at all about the things that would actually make people more comfortable having kids.

I’m confused what you think I’m saying. And I’m confused by your comment that the men don’t want health insurance and paid sick leave and all of those things. I’m a man and I absolutely wanted those so I could better care for my family.

I’m not a, let’s go back to this, kind of guy. Except I think trickle down ruined it all.

03.03.2025 04:00 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

But even white people want these things to be comfortable have kids.

This is why I don’t understand Elons stance on declining birth rates. The way to address that is to address the things people need to feel comfortable having kids - m/paternity leave, a living wage, paid sick leave, health care, and daycare and education for the kids.

You could hire someone on fivr to do it for cheap.

How long is it acceptable to cancel Ebola treatment, research, and prevention? Asking for the world.
