If your takeaway from @MassieforKY getting hammered tonight, is that it's over for the republicans, just give up politics or learn how they work. Massie picked a fight with the leader of the party. Took unpopular position after unpopular position, and paid the price.

I have a better idea. Instead of this, we throw the politicians that produce such into the octogon to battle it out then be eaten by hungry tigers. If they survive that, we exile them to the south side of chicago.

Obligatory: bricks and minifigs robbed a guy and is harassing a YouTuber with lawsuits. They're a trash company. The American fork police department is corrupt. They need to be investigated.

I'm going to say it one more time. The filibuster is the cause of a lot of our problems we face. It was never supposed to exist in its current form. 'but when the Dems have power... ' Do you not realize that our entire predicament exists because they use it (pwr) and we don't?

Which is used to prevent more situations like John McCain voting to keep Obamacare from happening. Because those expose people to the voters. But that was a good moment for the country. Not because we kept Obamacare but because it exposed a traitor to our cause.

If we rid us of the filibuster and still cannot get legislation through, we can remove the opponents to our cause that hide in our ranks. The only mistake was not doing it sooner.

All this outrage by the media over the Michelle Obama comment is making me think they're all transphobic. Shouldn't they be honored? Or mad that he said she's a man because trans women are real women? I'm starting to doubt their sincerity about supporting trans rights.

Hello friends, I am from Belgium. I am visiting America for the first time to see the World Cup. I love your country. I am in Times Square after the basketball game and I see men of all races starting fires and destroying cars. This is amazing. In Europe, only Muslims do this

As someone who hasn't had Netflix (other than a stray month here or there) since 2019, I don't really care what they charge. But people won't keep paying forever.
Netflix just raised prices again. Twenty-seven dollars a month for a full subscription. That is up 50% in six years. Netflix has a hundred million more subscribers than their closest competition. This is Netfleecing:

Deport all 'refugees' to the Vatican. Let them live in your churches and palaces, and warm themselves by the fire of your burning oak door 🚪🔥🥷🏾👳🏾‍♀️🧕🏿
The drama of migration must serve as an appeal to the conscience of the nations of origin of the migrants, which must establish conditions for peace, justice and development. It is also an appeal to the conscience of the transit nations, which are called to protect the vulnerable and not leave them in the hands of criminal networks. It is likewise an appeal to the conscience of Europe, which cannot claim to uphold human dignity while growing accustomed to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic becoming unmarked graves, as well as that of the international community, which is called to effective and persevering cooperation. #ApostolicJourney vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Natives need to bear firmly in mind that if the demographics of this nation wildly vary from the traditional white majority, it won't be some great development for us. It will be the opposite. We share a history with the whites, good and bad, but it's behind us now. The whites like and admire us, and as little as some of us want to admit it, they have helped us enormously. The newcomers don't give a damn about us. We have no history with Pakistanis or Afghans or whoever. They are coming to conquer, that's it. If we don't stand with the whites, we will fall together. It's that simple.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. THE US IS SEIZING KHARG ISLAND AND IRAN'S OIL — PRESIDENT TRUMP He's doing it...Iran will be hit "VERY HARD TONIGHT" "At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America." IRAN SCREWED UP!

The message of a protest is "we don't like this". The message of a riot is "we don't like this, and we're able to do something about it". People who unconditionally call for peace and calm, regardless of the provocation, don't fundamentally understand how politics works in the real world. They do understand that the purpose of politics is to provide an alternative to violence, but that's as far as their understanding goes. They don't think through the implications, usually because they are quite comfortable with things as they are. If politics is an alternative to violence, then politics is a proxy for violence. And that means you have to dole out power in proportion to capacity for violence. Or someone's going to figure out they can do better by flipping the table. Monarchy wasn't replaced by democracy because of fine-sounding philosophical ideals and eloquent documents declaring this or that. Democracy happened because if you added rifling to the flintlock firearm, suddenly a individual farmer with a tube was the pinnacle of military technology, and now you had to keep all the farmers with tubes happy by giving them political power. (Ancient Greek democracy had a similar relationship with the hoplite warrior.) When political systems work well, for a while, the violence they represent becomes further and further from people's minds, and those who can't effectively commit or direct violence worm their way into power, and begin to take it away from those who can. And they'll defend their position by saying that violence is unthinkable, barbaric, always bad, must be disavowed at all costs, etc. This isn't some sort of high-minded principle on their part. It simply means one of two things. Either "the status quo works for me, so I don't want you to upset it", or "I suck at violence, and I don't want to have to fight". They want young men demoralized, so that their artificial meritocracy of spreadsheets, or their non-meritocracy of patronage networks, can be protected from the natural meritocracy of conflict. This means that riots aren't actually for achieving any specific material aim. They are for reminding the comfortable that judges and bureaucrats and policemen have home addresses and families. And that violence is always on the table. A protest would only send the message that the Irish don't want to be ethnically cleansed. But the bureaucrats and judges and lawyers already know that. They just don't care. A riot reminds them that they have to care, because the Irish have a long tradition of doing something about it.
The rioters have set a house on fire in Belfast.

I'm pretty sure trump wants these numbers right now and he'll end the war around the end of the month. This way right around election time inflation numbers are tanking and things look like they're perking up big time.
Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains. Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year. Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class and lower-income households. It's tough because so many basic items are seeing sizable price increases: gas, electricity, food, medical care.

Do people have a right to self determination anymore? It seems if you want to end immigration to your country you're an enemy of your country. Think about that for a moment. Let's not pretend they didn't try political solutions first, either. They did politicians didn't listen.
The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable. There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere. It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it. Those responsible will feel the full force of the law. I’ve spoken to the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland to convey my thanks to them and the frontline emergency services for their bravery in keeping people safe. I’ve also spoken to the First Minister and Deputy First Minister to discuss the ongoing situation. Appealing for calm must be the priority, and that is what I urge now. We must let the police get on with their work.

For decades people have voted against immigration. It was a big leftist cause in the 90's and 2000's. The unions wanted the foreign labor gone. The right didn't want them either. Yet 40 years later, they never stopped it. And they smear you if you vote for people who will.
