The tech sector is responsible for the huge influx of people moving to the state, Seattle specifically. Our infrastructure was not able to handle that influx and is only now catching up, 2 decades later.

Tech came here because of our archaic tax laws that prevented an income tax from going through, I have zero empathy that this solution impacts them disproportionately.

“On this issue, I think tech will vote No,” Boyapati said. “It’s a question of ‘Do I pay the extra tax or move elsewhere?’”

Fucking leave already if you have no interest in contributing.

That’s how those furries get those costumes!

“You’re not doing enough, so here’s another 10 billion in arms funding. You have to spend that in America though because I am very upset with you Bibi.”

Not weird. Totally normal behavior.

That’s just little boys though, you can kindly redirect. My boy is 9 and he can talk forever about Pokémon, Minecraft or whatever he is fixated on today. Sometimes I just have to tell him I’m done now, sometimes I have to say it a few times but that’s ya know, parenting.

You didn’t drop him on the side of the road, but it was an idea to help you get through it.

The relatively low-budget feel of the database and the training academy has prompted some of the project’s partners to wonder what, exactly, Dans and his team have done with the $22 million that the Heritage Foundation initially pledged toward Project 2025. When I asked Dans how the budget had been used, he reached for one of his folksy aphorisms.

“I remember this Old Milwaukee [beer] ad from the ’80s … and there was the one guy who was in charge of the beer fund, and [he and his friends] were all happy and they’re drinking ‘Old Mill,’ and [one of them] said, ‘Well, what did you do with all the monies that you were putting into the beer fund?’ And then you see the guy behind them with a big yacht.”

“We’re drinking ‘Old Mill’ here,” he added.

So not all of the $22 million that had been earmarked for the project had actually been allocated to it? I asked.

Dans nodded. “We’re much more [low] budget over here than what people [operating] in the caverns of the liberal mind would like to believe.”

“I got my yatch!”

I mean in the case of Trump it’s not actually far fetched. He is a useful idiot to the people with an agenda. Not to cut him any slack, just pointing out that he is a buffoon chasing approval, he thought he would get it for P2025 but now that there is blowback he’s legitimately like “I didn’t read it, I don’t read anything.”

I hate it. Get money out of politics.

You realize criticism of the Democrats is exactly how we push them to change though right? Whatever stupid shit Trump or Republicans do does not absolve Biden or Democrats of criticism.

There was plenty of commentary about Trump but it was drowned out because Biden’s poor performance was different and new making it the trending and newsworthy story.

the media made him lose the debate, not his performance against someone who did worse.

I think you are missing how others are critical of Biden’s performance. This debate and election season was a repeat, absolutely nothing new. It was never going to move huge swaths from one side to the other.

Biden lost to himself, not to Trump. That doesn’t mean Trump’s performance was good. That absolutely was the biggest story coming out of the debate as that was something different from this rerun of an election.

Nah, that just takes power away from working people. Organize militant committees within the union for the sole purpose of getting working politics into leadership positions. That is the play.

This is why American politics are so fucked. We can’t even have a discussion about how we ended up in this position by looking back 9 years. How in the hell can we put context to what happened to the labor movement in the 1950s and how it applies to modern day struggles if we have to be so tunnel visioned into right now? How can we examine why the BLM protests fizzled with only a few cities making minor material changes, when the activism of the civil rights movement lasted over a decade?

This isn’t whining, this is looking at the context of the current moment and urging people to do something other than vote. Vote or don’t vote I honestly don’t care at this point, all I could do was laugh at the news today everything is so absurd, but if you’re out here and the only thing you’re doing is voting and urging others to do the same you’re apart of the punchline.

The democratic party pushed a narrative that Bernie was unelectable and instead pushed a candidate that refused to even campaign in important states. When the truth was Bernie polled better against Trump than Clinton.

Trump won.

The democratic party chose Biden not because he could beat Trump (votes were always going to be anti-Trump), but instead picked Biden because he could beat Bernie.

Biden’s Justice department dragged it’s feet to prosecute Trump in the hope that they could wait until election season and use his trials to stir up media coverage. We now live in a country that will continue to ride along the cliffside as every election will be democrats or else and they won’t clean house because they view it as politically advantageous. And this has all happened because the most mild version of socialist policy was being discussed at the national level.

But don’t “question” it.

All news is partisan. This is not the cautionary warning you think it is. Wikipedia lol.

That’s not something a person who gets elected President of the United States has. Take off the rose colored glasses.

He can’t even stay on topic because the issue at hand doesn’t impact him. In his mind airports are the biggest issue to the American voter because he is dealing with it constantly while campaigning.

And that’s ignoring the rhetoric. It would be funny if this wasn’t the existential threat it was.

The only thing standing in the way of this sundowning narcissist fascist is a sundowning hubristic imperialist. At least he will try his best. 😮‍💨
