Honestly yeah, that was it for me. Seeing him get elected this time was really this feeling of “Oh, that’s just how it is over there huh?”.

The first time I could just believe your voting systems are messed up with the electoral college and all, and the massive push back that happened. Feelings were also optimistic coming off the Obama years.

But now that he’s spent the last several years fully mask off, investigated up and down revealing all the crazy things we’d been hearing about him and his cronies were true, and he still gets elected? By majority vote too?? There’s no excuses.

The US is actually just like that huh?

Columbia University PhD student Ranjani Srinivasan calls accusations that she’s a ‘terrorist sympathizer’ absurd, telling CBC’s David Common that she feared for her safety after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials showed up at her door.

That’s the entire text with a 7 minute video on the page.

Newsworthy and valuable info in this climate, but I can’t be the only one who gets frustrated when a news site posts basically just a video and no actual article. Maybe just a personal gripe

I spent two years in Saudi Arabia in the early 2000s and was hearing stories like this even back then as a kid. I remember some kids even put on a skit involving maid abuse for some kind of social justice style project (I don’t remember the specifics) so it was a well known enough issue even then. Terrifying stuff and disgusting that they still hey away with it.

Citing what I saw on Philip DeFranco earlier, apparently in a shutdown the executive branch has a lot of power in terms of what specifics get shutdown and how.

Was news to me considering the shitshow that happens every time the budget needs to be voted on but with all the DOGEness going on makes sense that there’s extra caution around this. Still sucks that Dems rolled over so easily.

Deep? Can Musk and DOGE count as deep state with how new they are to government (if you can call DOGE that)? He’s not even from the US, he’s so far out he’s circled back around to deep state.

Then again, foreign actors blatantly controlling the white house seems to be the trend right now

I have immediate family in the US and one of the main reasons I don’t visit is because I am legit afraid shit like this or worse will happen.

I believe it, but I honestly don’t think it would make any difference in the world at this point if proven anyway

I didn’t watch the sequels, Mitch McConnell comes back and AOC tracks him down at the edge of space or something?

Feel like the wording of this headline implies that all Gen Z is LGBTQ+

Not saying that would be a bad thing to be clear

I think at this point it’s more about what the case represents. I don’t know how exactly I want this to happen, but I do hope the results of his trial somehow creates positive changes in how insurance companies work.

Wishful thinking, but I think that’s the kind of feeling people have around this.

I kinda want them here so they can be exposed to leftist ideas and become thigh-high wearing, Linux using furries.

But that’s probably just me huffing hopium
