If you make it hard enough for people to live, you'll eventually make enemies that don't fear death.

Hey…people won’t be able to afford the medication that keeps them alive…but at least eggs aren’t more expensive (yet). Their surviving family can chuck eggs at the casket their funeral

Oh no eggs are insanely expensive right now but that's because of bird flu. Yet I'm going to bet even after bird flu, eggs aren't getting cheaper. Just paid $9 for a dozen organic eggs

When RFK gets done, food supply prices are estimated to triple in price thanks to decreased stability, more diseases killing livestock and plants, and reduced imports (and likely fewer workers in the fields meaning fractional harvests).

Am I a bad person for hoping a lot of republicans die because of this?

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

No. You reap what you sow. I can't fucking wait for my Trump coworkers Mexican BIL and his children who were born here to be sent back to Mexico and when she comes to me and is upset they're being deported, I'll tell her she voted for it. She and her sister, the wife of the man from Mexico originally, voted for it.

I hope the Trumpers who need medication who won't be able to afford it die and I hope they and their families and friends by extension LEARN. There's no other way out. Just through.

And now, the first morning of this tragedy, my standard google news feed is filled with direct from the source white house dot gov propaganda. The tech bros gladly submitted and have given the platforms away to the creators of disinformation.

Basically where I'm at. Not gonna give up, but 2024 election was such an easy toss up of a test for this country, and it still failed at that. I really dont see any path forward, especially when half the commentary surrounding Democrats currently is just relentless bashing, blaming them for Trump, which is complete garbage. People just shooting themselves in the own foot and cementing the far right's hold on the US going forward.

I sure hope no eligible US voter who's complaining now also sat on their ass in October and November and didn't vote. Tens of millions of you. Your laziness is how he won.

Worse, it wasn't laziness. It was to "send a message" to the left, because they didn't like Kamala Harris.

I mean, sure, the Muslim-Palestinian Americans tried that lame play (I'm sure Trump 2.0 will be every bit a friend of Muslims as 1.0 was) but honestly, for the tens of millions who sat on their ass, it was just laziness. In solid red states, sure your Democratic vote is more about sending a message, but Trump won all the battleground states too. People who didn't vote had better be pretty friggin quiet for the next... forever.

Dont forget all the people that 'reluctantly' voted Democrat, while spending half their time shitting on Democrats and wittingly or not, convinced lots of other people Democrats weren't worth voting for. They still hold responsibility too, just like in 2016.

I mean, Howard Dean was a Democrat. Standards for Democrats and Republicans are wildly, wildly different. Well, that actually assumes there are standards for Republicans, which there clearly aren't.

78 executive orders rescinded on day one... I don't think he even read them...I think he just picked every one that Biden signed.

2 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

but...but...Biden was too old /s so they stayed home and didn't vote. I wish for every one of these people to spend one year in an ideal Biden US, with all of his initiatives and plans enacted. And at the end of that year, they have to move to an ideal Trump US, and stay there for the rest of their lives.

My mother is a magtard. She’s retired. She just got her hip replaced. Hope she’s grateful she did that because it’s going to get fucked pretty fast. I need to see if I can get citizenship from my heritage to Poland or, ironically, Germany.

Not even joking. He hates you. This doesn't make as much money for the people who have millions of dollars to lobby him to do what he says.

He is corrupt. to the highest levels. Elon musk bought him a presidency, other people paid him to be in his cabinet.

It makes him popular with the kinds of people who are willing to stroke his ego. I think he's too much of a narcissist to care about anything that isn't himself - not really. So to him, it will never matter who or what he has to sacrifice, as long as it isn't himself and it gets him attention.

I knew a coworker who admitted without Medicare his wife would have died but he denounces Obamacare and votes Trump. He also lives out of his car and admits he bought his wife in Romania and admits he bought her. At the time his wife was 25, their oldest child was 12. I used him as a model of how "not to live your life" to the younger enlisted folks.

The truth is, most insulin-dependent people nowadays use insulin pumps which is much better for your system because they use slow timed insulin releases. Biden lowered the cost of insulin vials used with syringes, as I understand it, which fewer people use cuz it kills your blood vessels and other organs. The supplies for insulin pumps cost about $1,000 a month and Biden's policy stiff nothing for that. What Biden did was good but it didn't even scratch the surface of what needed to be done.
