It’s not him. While there is a passing resemblance, the militia chud was apparently posting videos of himself in Oklahoma when the incident in Massachusetts occurred.
That doesn’t mean the ICE agent isn’t also a militia member. I would put money on him being at least affiliated with one.
“Our ICE officers are facing a 300% increase in assaults while carrying out enforcement operations.”
From page 20:
Do you support more Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who are calling on Democrats to adopt a more aggressive stance towards Trump and his administration and “fight harder”, or moderate Democrats who are willing to compromise on Trump issues important to their base?
72% of Democratic voters answered “yes”.
Go ahead and point out this alleged “loaded wording”.
She had her chance, she’s extremely unlikely to get another one.
She had two chances. Her first one was an abysmal failure. If she had any sense, she would’ve learned then and there that her own party doesn’t even like her. And the only reason she got a second chance was because the DNC handed it to her on a silver platter. I get why they opted out of having another primary so late in the game, but she was the absolute worst choice they could’ve made.
This poll may as well have just asked people “which of these names do you recognize?”, because that’s really all it tells us.
EDIT: It just hit me that you meant she had her chance as the nominee. I’m dumb.
She has never won a Democratic primary in her life.
Harvard poll: 72% of Dem voters prefer more left-leaning candidates like Sanders and AOC over moderates like Harris.
Lemmy Leftists: Yes.
Cryophilia: Y’all are in a bubble.
We have been. You may have heard of the 50501 protests. If not, I recommend looking into it. There are two problems though. First, the corporate media is largely not covering the protests because they haven’t turned into riots. As the adage goes, “if it bleeds, it leads”. Second, Americans are generally not inclined to riot, because our police are more heavily armed than a lot of military forces around the world. When we do riot, the corporate media clutches their pearls and wags their fingers, painting the entire movement as a bunch of criminals looking for a reason to loot. This influences even our most ardent allies in Congress to distance themselves from the movement, resulting in little to no change in policies.
Honestly, it’s going to take a lot more than protests and even riots to get out of this, if it’s even possible.
And never, ever criticizing the Right. These people cheer for Trump more than the fucking MAGA crowd.
Luckily for Frost, he needn’t tell these obnoxious assholes to fuck off, because they’re not relevant enough to warrant such attention.
You got it backwards. It’s the fans who decide if Nick Frost is relevant enough to warrant their attention. Like every actor, his entire career hinges upon that premise. Let’s see how shitting on his fans works out for him.
And the public has overwhelmingly said this is what they prefer.
It’s the other way around.
Studios used to take chances on new IP’s back in the day when they didn’t have to make a billion dollars at the box office just to “break even” (I’m being a tad hyperbolic about that number). There’s a clip of Matt Damon on ‘Hot Ones’ breaking this down. For those who can’t (or don’t want to) click the link, it basically goes like this:
In the days before the streaming boom, a movie studio could afford to spend a bunch of money producing and marketing an original movie, knowing that what they sank into production and advertising would most likely be recouped in video rentals, in the event that the movie under-performed at the box office. Once physical movie rentals went away, so did all that back end money, and studios became a lot more hesitant to take those kinds of risks. The end result was that studios started buying existing IP’s that were already popular and producing those almost exclusively. The final death throes of video rental stores happened in the mid-to-late 2000s (think MCU Phase 1 era), and that’s where we saw the big increase in reboots, sequels, prequels, franchises, and cinematic universes.
So basically, the majority of big studios lost a ton of revenue from the defunct video rental business, so they did a bunch of market research to find out what people liked (or rather, what made the most money), then decided that was pretty much all they were going to make from then on. The public ate it up for the same reason they eat junk food or smoke meth; it has no substance, but it has all the right ingredients to trigger a dopamine response.
The fault here lies with the dealer, not the junkie.
That judge is about to take an unexpected trip to El Salvador.
Seriously though, good luck everyone. Shit is only going to get worse before it gets better.
Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh worked on the legal team for Bush in 2000, helping swing the case after the Brooks Brothers Riot.
For us, yes. For Republicans, no. In Trump’s first term:
He stacked the Supreme Court in his favor (2 of the 3 he appointed helped steal the 2000 election for Bush)
He appointed a record number of federal judges (260, most of which come from the Federalist Society)
He reversed a CFPB rule that made it easier to file class action lawsuits against banks for fucking us over
He oversaw more federal executions of prisoners than any president in 120 years
He cut corporate tax rates from 35% to 21%, the lowest rate since 1939
He pulled the US out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and our spot was filled by China
There is so much more that he got done which set the stage for what is happening now. For example, he tried to pass about two thirds of the Heritage Foundation’s ‘Mandate for Leadership’ policies in his first term, which is what inspired them to write ‘Project 2025’, another iteration of the Mandate on steroids.
The fact that Trump lost the election in 2020 is a total fluke, and it took a global pandemic that killed over a million Americans to make him lose.
His first term was far from a shit show in terms of making the current shit show possible.
Trump says [THING] is bad
MAGA hates [THING]
Trump says [THING] is good actually <------ you are here
MAGA says they’ve always supported [THING]
As predictable as the setting sun.
He already sent that money to Israel.
It’s more than likely true because this shit always blows up in their faces, but it won’t matter if all we do is elect more milquetoast Zionist corporate Dems. If that happens, we will end up right back in this same spot in a few years.
The racist sexist bigots aren’t going to vote democrat no matter what.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that racism and especially sexism don’t exist within the Democratic voting base. They are much less of a problem than within the Republican voting base, but they are still significant enough to swing elections.
And honestly to even suggest the radicalisation of the right was due to Obama is crazy.
Not solely due to Obama, but his existence in the White House did get a lot of people to take off their masks.
The problem is that you think people are too stupid to understand the question, and only you are smart enough to figure it out.
It’s a basic question asking if people prefer Dems like AOC and Sanders, who have a more aggressive stance against Trump, over moderate Dems who will compromise with Trump. It’s very straightforward.
