the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning

Kids rights are essential to any good future. The law treats children as political objects and property but never people. The fact there's a growing number of losers trying to legally force a right to be able to own their kids forever even into a adulthood shows truly how evil the fruit is.

the IRS is so badly funded that the most recent time we actually measured tax evasion was 2016 btw this should be a yearly report! but instead the sum of all federal knowledge regarding the tax gap is like five spreadsheets where half the numbers are derived from decades-old figures

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

There is exactly one remedy for this — make public school attendance contingent on full vaccination. To obtain an exception, you must convince a board-certified pediatrician that your child needs a medical exemption. No other exceptions granted.

If you want to *understand* the grift, this is a bad movie! You can watch LINE GOES UP for free on YouTube and walk away with a much better grasp of the issue. If you then want to watch SBF squirm in EILTYFM, you can.

He just decides early on that it seems like fraud (great, I agree with him), but instead of doing the hard work of explaining to his audience *why it is fraud*, McKenzie just gets awkward interviews with crypto bros, heartrending interviews with crypto victims, and a shot at talking to Congress.

I finally saw EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY, which is… weirdly entertaining and weirdly uninformative. If you go in knowing nothing about cryptocurrency, you will leave knowing nothing about cryptocurrency. It's satisfying to watch SBF squirm. But McKenzie makes virtually no factual claims!

Guys, federal employees/retirees/survivors are getting boned SO HARD by health insurance premiums for 2027. No COLA but massively increased premiums. If we stay w/our current plan we will see an 84% (EIGHTY-FOUR PERCENT) premium increase. Almost +$5k for 2027. (And of course now GAC isn't covered.)

remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

I'm having a hard time parsing exactly what you mean because I believe you and Ellie can't see each other's posts, so I assume you're missing context. But certainly you have identified the correct area of possible interpersonal conflict.

Biden pre and post Oct 7 is a dichotomy fit to drive you truly insane.
Bro burned the world for an obsession with destroying Gaza. Before Oct 7 he was doing so much meat & potatoes good governance. I used to go to repro health conferences hosted by him or Harris or his wife now it's all on fire.

This is true of every contemporary political position: "Democrats are weak," "data centers consume too much water," and on and on. People hear a resonant opinion from people they socially align with, and they add it to their belief system. The large number of opinions you hear daily is what's new.

Vought is breaking the law but he is not “going rogue.” At his confirmation hearings, Vought told Republicans he would do this and they voted for him anyway. If they want to stop him, they still can via impeachment. They won’t.
