These Real Estate TikTokers Say Tenants Should Tip Their Landlords, And People Are Not Happy

Under an Imperial Presidency, the Congress has relatively little to do. Since everyone in the House just slaps the “Okay!” button when Trump demands more authority - and since the Presidency already has so much authority pre-allocated to it by Congress that there’s relatively little left to surrender - all the little Congresscritters can do is hold investigative hearings in a vain attempt to get media attention.

Chasing the ghost of Joe Biden is what the Alex Jones tier of the right-wing entertainment sphere want. It gives them something to fill 4-5 hours a day of talk radio whining about. And it gives back bencher Congresscritters and opportunity to go on these shows and get some national attention.

For the wanna-be celebrities in the GOP, this is one way they know how to get attention.

The irony of the bin Laden attack is that it was in response to US military occupation of Saudi Arabia, via a dozen-odd installations ringing the Saudi Peninsula.

But UK/US military occupation of The Kingdom (combined with the Petrodollar, which grants the Monarchy an unlimited line of international credit) is what effectively makes Saudi Arabia a military and economic power in the region. The western occupation of Saudi Arabia is the gun to the head of every other country in the region. Without that, they’d be no better off than Egypt or Turkiye.

Bin Laden and his allies were certainly fanatical. But they were reactionary in defiance of the Protestant dominance of the Muslim World. It’s hard for us to forget 9/11. It’s far easier for us to forget the prior 60 years of UK/US/Israeli backed violent oppression, invasion, and assassination of every Unaligned Muslim Leader stretching from Algeria to Thailand.

It needs Just 1 bullet in trumps head… FCK America.

I mean, sure, that would be nice.

But the idea that Fascism is just one man using mind control powers on the rest of the country and if you get rid of that singular embodiment of evil the rest of the fascists will disappear in a puff of logic is… flawed.

If Trump had eaten a bullet in 2024, JD Vance would be President right now and nothing would be meaningfully different. The rot is systemic. It isn’t even contained to the GOP. Go check out “Welcomefest” and the continued Liberalist campaign to transform the Democratic Party into a rebranded Dick Cheney style of neoconservatism by courting Silicon Valley goons who are on the fence about Trump.

This doesn’t end with one guy going away. This doesn’t end with 100 guys going away. This ends when the top tier of mega-wealthy families no longer have an incentive to kill millions of people in order to maintain their elite positions.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

Published: March 26, 2003

Literally the exact same arguments.

Look, you’ve been proven wrong, so stop talking. You’ve had your say already. Be quiet, okay? Everything’s fine.

You’re wrong.

Woke Leftists were proved wrong in 2003 and then again in 2011 during the intervention in Libya and then again with Syria and Yemen and Gaza and they will be proven wrong again in 2025.

If you believe otherwise, you are part of Hamas or Al Qaeda or something, idk. The point is that you’re antisemitic.

And now, with the power of Palantir, we know who is saying this shit. We’re going to identify you, add you to a list, get you kicked out of college / fired from your job, harass you at traffick stops and TSA checkpoints, blacklisted, arrested, and deported. In 2025, we’re finally going to end these protests. We’re going to shut down these voices on TV and Radio and the internet. We’re going to purge all these people out of elected office and remove them from the voting rolls.

The future of America will be one people, one voice, one great big hive mind. And we’ll all agree that our next war is correct, just like all of the prior wars. We will be unified in our desire to destroy everyone who disagrees with us, at last. And then we will triumph!

And no, stop calling this fascism. It isn’t fascism. You are so going on the god damned list.

Why not create comparison like “generating 1000 words of your fanfiction consumes as much energy as you do all day” or something more easily to compare.

Because its still bullshit. The bulk of the utilization of these LLMs isn’t going to your 1000 word Princess Leia/Dianna Troy lesbian romance. They’re going to some call center in the Philippines blowing up your cell with automated voice-to-text phone calls and a bargain basement Netflix animation studio experimenting with AI generated children’s cartoons.

Once again, we have a giant Business Factory spewing out enormous plums of waste to produce things nobody asked for. Then we’re getting an Op-Ed from some know-nothing hack on the greenwashing beat to tell their readers “Um, aktuly, these skyrocketing emissions are because you asked Alexa to add kidney beans to your shopping list.” And I will put even money odds on this Op-Ed, itself, being AI generated.

Nothing costs Altman a dime. He’s been playing with House Money since day one.

What is crazy is that Microsoft kept cutting this con artist billion dollar check after billion dollar check, only for him to squander it on The Machine That Makes Creepy Studio Ghibli Knock-Offs.

Literally every President at every Press Conference ever.

That said, didn’t Trump already purge the press pool and install exclusively loyalist journalists? It’s funny to see that he’s still complaining. Almost as though he’s forgotten the reason why the press pool exists. They’re not there to be your friend, they’re there to get the Hot Goss and churn the news cycle.

You will never get a gaggle of reporters - of any ideological tenor - that won’t needle you and raise difficult questions. The only thing you get to choose is whether you badger you for being too Fash or too Soy.

Treene pressed: “So some of your supporters are wary of the U.S. getting involved in another foreign war, and some believe that we should support it.”

The split is happening inside his own party! You’ve got Tucker Carlson style fascists whining that US deployment to Iran means taking troops out of LA and off the US/Mexico border. They want their home grown campaign of civil oppression, not some <insert derogatory Jewish slur here> War on the other side of the planet.

Of course his loyalist flaks are going to want to know what side he’s on.

Okay Boomer

People still believe Iraq had WMDs to this day.

I never understood how someone with a six week old managed to find time to boink. But I guess some folks are just very horny.

I guess maybe we got lucky, then.

I do know some kids have real legit physical issues (colic being a big one). And if you don’t figure out how to mitigate their distress quickly, they simply learn to scream when they want to communicate.

But when I hear “some kids are just assholes”, I tend to see some underlying problem (possibly something you just can’t do anything about at this stage, but it exists) that they’re responding to. It’s not standard baby behavior to make parents miserable.

If he starts punching you in the dick, you can still take the highroad.

I’m sorry, what’s the high road here?

At some point a fight is the only way to stop the violence.

The brutal truth that too many liberals don’t want to accept is that we can’t Vote our way through this.

Even newborn babies are programmed to scream intermittently so that the parents are never well rested

As someone who has taken care of three newborns, that’s not a requirement. If you put the infant on a regular two/three-hour feeding/changing cycle, they don’t reflexively cry unless they’re in some kind of physical distress.

The trick is to execute that schedule, which is itself extremely exhausting, especially if you’re exclusively breast feeding. When you’ve got two or more people handling feedings (especially with formula) then the baby is chill and parents get more sleep and everyone is much happier.

Also, ffs, this is why both Mom and Dad need maternity leave. The job is 10x harder when one parent is working solo.

I do think that in a truly just world, anyone who preaches Quiverful child baring should be kicked in the nuts at least once for every child they claim they want to have.

Congress has the power to declare war

That they fully abdicated with the 2001 AUMF, which they keep renewing specifically so they don’t have to ever make these decisions.

This is what people voted for

The people vote for candidates, not policies. And they candidates they vote for routinely talk out of both sides of their mouths. NDAAs regularly pass with overwhelming bipartisan support, even as a super-majority of Congresscritters campaign against this or that component of them.

Vote better next time, I guess.

I was told to VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO because there is a Cheeto In The White House. If both major parties field pro-war candidates, what’s the move?

John Witmire is a DINO by every definition of the word. He’s deep in bed with the police, he loves privatization of public services, and he makes common cause with the state’s Republican leadership on a regular basis. Nothing the man loves more than “balancing the budget” on the backs of public workers and low income residents.

But he’s been a Democrat since he took his State Senate seat and squatted in it back in 1983. So the party apparatus loyally and mechanically supported him all through the primary and general elections. The “It’s my turn” candidate is taking his turn.

Hire the senior most administrative staff that oversee the executive bureaucracy and update the policies that these senior most administrators execute.

Don’t worry, we’re bringing in a bunch of C-levels from AI companies and giving them Lt. Colonel rank so they can approve a “Move Fast And Break Things” approach to Pentagon IT investment.

I predict “billions over budget” will look absolutely quaint in another five years.

Also, incidentally, check out the ADE 651

A bunch of left-leaning Democrats in 2020: “We should abolish ICE. It does not appear to serve a useful purpose and is staffed with people hell bent on doing irreparable harm to the public.”

DC Leadership: “SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! You’re destroying America with your extremist Tankie pro-terrorist propaganda!”

A bunch of far-right eugenicists in 2024: “We should abolish FEMA. Natural disasters aren’t a big deal anyway and it’ll help thin the herd if only the strong are able to survive.”

DC Leadership: “Shrug Let’s put it to a vote.”
