    Everyone doesn’t think any of this is Trumps fault. A significant number of people think it’s DEI or Obamas fault. I get your point, but this isn’t going one way. And Trumps recent firing of thousands of air traffic controllers didn’t cause anything, yet, but it sure isn’t the way to keep it from happening again.

    A lot of people are trying to tie this failure into his cutting off funding and disbanding the TSA safety councils, etc.

    But that's not how it works.

    That shit is bad, for a number of reasons, but it's not like that is what caused the collision. Looks like the helo pilot fucked up.

    They were trying to say his lack of funding was the cause of an ATC working "two terminals"... but people don't realize that despite the short staffing situation, the ATC were properly and safely staffed at the time of the incident.

    Some people are also trying to blame DEI shit, which makes no fucking sense, but it's not like it's one thing or the other. Lots of people are blaming lots of things for this... whatever fits their narrative.

    Case of MSM throwing out info and morons drawing their own uneducated conclusions about shit they have no clue about.

    The more I read and learn about the DC crash the more depressing and horrifically sad it becomes since some of the people on that plane were kids coming back from a figure skating camp and there was a video released of one of them three years ago talking about wanting to work hard to some day make it to the Olympics.

    I'm going to disagree with you on this one.

    Fentanyl is a problem in the US? Bidens open border has directly killed 10s of millions of Americans. Immigrant commits a crime? Bidens immigration policy is bringing in rapists and murderers and directly killing 10s of millions of Americans. Train derails in Ohio? Bidens DEI policies are making our infrastructure vulnerable to sabotage and killing millions of Americans.

    I'm never going to give any republican the benefit of doubt anymore. There's no nuance left in politics. If something happens on your watch, you're entirely to blame for it as well as everything adjacent to it. Full stop. Fuck your feelings. You personally caused it.

    I'm sick of pussy footing around while democrats get shit on every day for everything that has ever happened in the US.

    To be fair, you’re not really disagreeing with him, you’re just saying “I’ma do it anyway.” Which is fine.

    Exactly. Good on him for learning from those pieces of shit. Play the game on their level: by going in their face with the blame, using opinions as evidence, and become outraged and attack them if they dare to even think n about sticking up for themselves. In other words— fuck them entirely.

    United Airlines flight caught fire in Houston.

    Unconfirmed reports that Trump personally doused it in lighter fluid and then struck a match while screaming "I ALONE AM RESPONSIBLE."

    Actually he was talking about how fast the fire would have been put out if he was actually there to do it.

    You say that jokingly, but that's pretty much the messaging that happened when that ship ran into the bridge in Baltimore. It was a Chinese attack on America, Biden wanted this to happen to hurt Trump, Biden was on vacation while this happened and didn't visit the crash site that day etc etc etc.

    I'm deadly serious when I say everything that happens in the US from now on just needs to be relentlessly attacked by democrats until the opposing party gets the message. No more joking, no more placating, no more coalition building, the entire republican network needs to be dismantled in the most vicious way possible.
    I'm sure some of you who follow politics more closely have seen some of the things Musk and Steven Miller are doing in the background, but if you haven't, the hyperbole about Trump destroying democracy is not hyperbole. Whether it's him doing it, or someone else running the play book and him signing off on it, he is actively trying to kill democracy in the US.

    That's the problem with the "When they go low, we go high" theory. If someone is slinging mud, sometimes you need to get in the slop and throw some back.

    But it’s also not some sudden light-bulb strategy. There’s countless examples of left-leaning randos online that are doing the same thing, changing their opinion on science, politics, and economics depending on who’s in office.

    Now if your response is “but the republicans are more awful and you know it,” I’m not fighting to dissuade you of that opinion. My point is, we get algorithmed to death, so while you can find example after example of any political/social commentary account making super hypocritical posts, nobody is seeking out both sides, they’re scrolling the one they agree with.

    Man, I'll bet that whole "Say No to Genocide Joe/ Killer Kamala!" crowd is feeling pretty smug right about now.


    Fucking. Retards.

    It's not even one month in, and almost every single group who voted AGAINST the Dems for "reasons" is getting bitten in the ass.

    It would be fucking hilarious, except I'm getting bitten, too.

    Literally posing for photos with a genocidal war criminal wanted by interpol. Republicans love traitors, billionaires and Israel.

    I still think Trump should deport every one of the Free Palestine! to Gaza to lend their support in person. Go ahead and help them rebuild, bruh.

    Just saw on the Internet that they've taken Pride off their calendar. Concerning if true, but the way they've all bent the knee it wouldn't shock me much.
