They'll have USAF ATC come in if required. Like during the strike in 80s when Reagan took the union out back and gave it the ol' "think about the rabbits" treatment.

Well, we'll know sooner than I ever imagined how many CIA/FBI have the balls of their forefathers.

Apparently Trump is firing a fuckload of FBI agents. Of course I shed no tears over such things... but his buddy RFK Jr should've probably told him what happened to his uncle (and father, I suppose) when he started targeting such agencies.

It's also just annoying that they do this in the most liberal (but more rightwing flavor) ways possible. "Nooo they targeted my precious boys on Jan 6!" For the record, I don't think (most) of those dipshits deserved the sentences they got. I wasn't exactly crying for them, but if we're being real... shitting on Pelosi's desk should get you an award. The Proud Boy fascist-style leader and such, well, it was a convenient reason to get rid of them.

Either way, this is the stupidest possible pretext to destroy the US "security apparatus." Not that I think he's actually doing that or trying to do that. More than likely this is for show or he's a moron (or both). Still, firing a huge percent of FBI and presumably digging into the asses at DHS, NSA, CIA, etc. is going to undermine what they're doing. Intended or not.

It's like cutting USAID because "it doesn't benefit Americans." Well, it does (capitalists anyway), but I do wonder, again, if Elon/Trump are too fucking stupid (again... yes...) to actually know what "soft power" is.

Well, either way, it's about to insanely boring or the opposite of that in the next year or so.

Between the tariffs which are obviously going to blow the backs out of millions of people, the incoming labor shortage because they chose deportation over amnesty and fair pay, and shit like just one by one destroying government "welfare" (in different forms) programs, the suffering knob is being turned up for absolutely zero reason when the other option is, I dunno... accept multipolarity and negotiate with China. Draw down the military presence. Stop whining about the border and making shit up about it. No, no, no... turn the pain knob. Isolate while simultaneously trying to increase imperialism. Seems sustainable...

Gotta give it a few years, but I am currently preparing a "Dear Anarchists, I was wrong. Propaganda of the deed can, indeed, be effective..." post.

It's basically malpractice as a journalist to not squeeze the FBI for specifics like genre or star

The FBI says it has not yet identified a motive for the shooting

I suggest checking the last ~6-12 months of his 4chan history. Key word searches to try: "Trump Zionist" "Kushner" "Fuentes"

I suppose on the positive side, probably some of the clammiest, palest groypers in existence will be getting some door knocks in coming weeks and months.

On the extremely negative side, if the guy is 100% confirmed a groyper and his motive is anything in the realm of "Trump supports Israel" or whatever... ain't gonna be good for future anti-Zionist movements.

Not that the future was ever bright considering how they've reacted to peaceful sit-ins. But yeah, anything groyper related and against Israel (for explicitly antisemitic reasons) will be lumped with anti-imperialism/anti-genocide related resistance to Israel. Very convenient packaging to barrel right past the unavoidable truth of the peaceful nature thus far of anti-Zionist moments. Yes it's totally nonsensical, but if it aids Zionist narratives that both parties share, it's too tempting.

This fucking DUNCE is running the entire playbook to lose like a motherfucker

WHO THE FUCK HEARS HEY YOUR SOLAR PANELS ARE GONNA COST DOUBLE NOW AND SAYS OH THANKS CHIEF LET ME VOTE FOR THE CORPSE THAT SIGNED THAT SHIT

And yes I'm particularly pissed off because I was about to buy solar panels.

Remember this absolute fucking (I'm really holding back on language out of respect for people here, but my 14 year old 2002 inner child has so many choice words) clownass passed, less than 2 years ago, the "inflation reduction act" which had a pretty decently half ass ok part for homeowners (not landlords fuck them, although yes it benefited them. More actually. Don't make me think about that)?

Part of it was huge tax incentives (note: not rebates so people on social security or whatever who don't pay taxes can eat shit -signed, Joe Biden) on buying solar panels for homes, EVs, stuff like that.

Welp!

"Just kidding" says top dipshit in charge

Signing this when your polls are already at the bottom of the Mariana trench is just a "fuck you" to the last 3 "progressives" who may be supporting him and, imo, putting his hands up like "fuck it, Trump wins. I don't care. Hey oil companies, make sure my grandkids get a nice underground bunker!"

Anti green energy transition Anti "free market" competition

The perfectly moronic move to piss off everyone except, well, Exxon I guess? Maybe Elon? Everything and everyone who should be not just pissed off but...[redacted]... that's who he appeals to.

Tell me again liberals why I should vote for the rotten corpse who in his last moments of life jerked the wheel directly into the iceberg.

The president can't do everything, but he can do a fucking lot, and I can't think of more than a few times when Biden has even gestured at doing the right thing. Trump did a few right things too. Where's the fucking argument for this guy being better? Are they even bothering with that anymore?

Btw, I had a mental conspiracy theory that I didn't speak because I feared I'd bring it into existence... but it seems we've arrived anyway. My theory was basically after the IRA passed funding was immediately, or quickly anyway, available for states to start giving rebates where they were designated, etc. Well, many states have been draaaaaaaaging their asses for years now. Why? Well, incompetence is always number 1. The easiest answer. My theory was 2. To allow for manufacturers/retailers to jack the prices up to reap more profits.

Like I need a new oven/stove. I want one of the newer fancy ones which are incredibly overpriced. Oh hey, Corpse Joey passed a bill that will take off like 80% of the cost? Ok, I'll wait until the state gets their asses in gear. Should be available in a month! Right!? .... my current governor has pushed that timeline from late to 2022 to mid 2023 to not talking about it and now recently he said late 2024. For funding that was available in like Oct 2022. Incredible. And if you're wondering, ovens haven't gotten cheaper since 2022 I can assure you of that! I sure hope Biden sanctions Chinese ovens next without offering a single fucking solution to America NOT MAKING ANYTHING

Spoiler: Biden is one of the most racist and antisemitic people to ever hold office.

Dude hung out with Strom Thurmond, called him a friend, and gave his eulogy. The senator for like 75 fucking years of his 100 year life who famously filibustered.......the civil rights act. That guy was Biden's bud.

So, call me very skeptical of anything Jim Crow Joe has to say about hatred towards any ethnic group.

All the institutions in the US/allies nearly instantaneously divested from all Russian-related ventures immediately upon Russian military entering Ukrainian territories

The only reason for a delay is to let the "passions" of this moment fade and then simply vote it down in October. If there was an actual intention to divest, they could hold a vote this week, next week, first week of June... October is incredibly far off and there can't be justification for it.

I think it's good that they are at least agreeing to think about/talk about it, but ultimately this is now a non-negotiable topic and I don't think the boomers have realized it yet. Israel must be shut off from the world economically and all the sanctions that liberals drooled over for Russia placed on Israel... immediately. At least until they end (not agree to talk about, but actually end it) their apartheid system, tear down that wall around Gaza, allow a Palestinian state which is connected, and of course end all current and future illegal military aggression against Palestine, end the illegal embargo.

I honestly can't tell if this is serious or dripping in like 4 layers of irony and sarcasm and whatever, but in any case, let's all just go touch grass today. Just go sit outside for like 30 minutes with no phone.

Man I fucking hate England

Goddamn Bernie is disappointing. You're gonna be retired and/or dead soon. He's totally free to say and do anything he wants and he's actively choosing to be pro-Israel. So fucking disappointing.

“This guy lost like $30B under a year. I wanna be just like him!”

How fucking stupid are these people?
