Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

News broke a few days ago that Trump has been meeting with House Republicans, including (to no surprise) Qaren and PizzaGaetz, to pressure them into forcing a government shutdown by the end of the month.

Naturally he wants House Republicans to either force the House to defund investigations into him as negotiations to prevent a shutdown, or have the shutdown itself bleed the investigation funds until they run out.

Much like how his entire bid for presidency is just a gambit to keep his bloated sib-literate ass out of jail, he wants to screw over…everything really to protect himself. 10s of millions of economic activity will be lost a day - during inflation no less, 10s of thousands of government workers will be furloughed while “essential” workers will be forced to work without pay, out parks will once again become trash heaps, government services like medicare and medicaid will get squeezed, etc.

All because a pathological criminal wants to evade the law.

I mean Fox pays Disney for the shows to remain on Fox. what would make Disney pull the plug on those shows showing on Fox anymore.

Easy: when Fox decides they don’t want to pay what Disney’s asking for anymore. That’s what happened with 9-1-1.

Orange Man doesn’t want prison. Isn’t really news it’s more like a warm up of what will happen if he became president again.

Suspended accounts on Twitter are unable to delete their accounts.

Musk doesn’t want you Tweeting, but still wants you to boost his user numbers.

Anti-Porn Puritans are a tumor.

And so are pork barrel politics. That kind of practice should be illegal.

They say it’s because it contained references to sexual content, but let’s be real. It’s Texas. Homeland of the GOP.

It’s 100% because Anne Frank believes in the controversial and divisive belief that “Nazi bad”.

You have to teach both sides equally!

Pepsi factory in Kyiv destroyed by Russian missile
The ironic part is that missile would’ve been partially paid for by the taxes Pepsi pays Russia for having a presence there.

And watch, they won’t ever pull out or even acknowledge it because they’re simply making too much bank off the fact all the actual competition left and all they have to contend with now are bootlegs of real brands. As usual, russian money corrupts.

@CaptainXtra
That I may agree. But keep in mind: most porn usage were actually used by people who are religious and anti-porn. Take Utah for an example.

@Ereiam
I hard agree.

@Dustcan
I miss the days when everyone could agree that Nazis were bad and saying otherwise was career suicide.

Biden should replace Garland with Letitia James or Dana Nessel. Someone who knows how do deal with fascists.

New Jersey senator Bob Menendez and his wife have been indicted by a federal grand jury for bribery.

Reminder that his floating with corruption has been well known for years and yet he still kept winning Dem primaries because it’s New Jersey.

@Meanlucario
That disappeared the moment those women-hating idiots started Gamergate.

@Penguin Dragneel
All because one fuck made up shit to slut shame his ex,

Apparently the Polish government is freaking out over The Green Border, a documentary about Syrian migrants trying to cross the Polish-Belarusian border, calling it “anti-Polish” and comparing it to Nazi propaganda.

And they say the American discourse on immigration is toxic…

@Background Pony #FB80
Don’t really know what people expect Garland to do better, he already assigned a former war crimes prosecutor to go after two of Trump’s biggest cases what more else do you want?

@Commune
Green Lanternism in action!

@SleepySteve
The fuck are you talking about?

Trump is urging for a government shutdown to “defund” attempts at his prosecutions.

Donny, you sweet summer child. You don’t know how government shutdowns work, do you?

He worked in government of course he doesn’t.
