The Sheriff in Kerr County was interviewed the day after the floods, and his first comment was about “when I woke up this morning, I could hardly believe it!…”

This fucking guy slept through the flooding all night as kids were drowning in his county he was elected to protect.

They could have helped us by including the public option in the bill, as it was originally designed to include by republican Mitt Romney. Instead, they simply used it as an opportunity to shovel 25 million Americans right into the pockets of insurance companies. Then-senator Biden dropped the public option before negotiations even began, as a “show of good faith to his esteemed Republican colleagues.” They left the insurance requirement in though, and even tried to add a system where we had to report it with taxes if we wanted refunds.

The part BBB is fucking up is honestly a travesty to begin with. It’s what allows Walmart to operate without insuring their employees, specifically training them to earn under certain amounts and work limited hours so that they can go on Medicare instead of the giant multinational corporation paying their fair share for their employees’ health.

Do you see the pattern here? Fuck these corporations for buying our government and using it against us to rob us blind. Both parties do help them with this, and it has got to stop because we’re at a breaking point.

Dems constantly let republicans get away with “causing more damage,” yet never seem capable of helping the working class when they get voted back into power. It’s so disingenuous, at least Republicans are honest about their evil intentions. But sure, vote harder next election sweetie, and if you vote hard enough the still not prosecuted Orange Traitor will just cancel the election altogether.

Swasticar, now with 50% more Nazi!

Gross, hate that my tax dollars get used for this crap.

Perhaps you shouldn’t. At this point, it’s likely the majority of users are bots.

Hey now don’t forget Nick Fuentes and Stephen Miller!

Of course. How do you think it worked before Dubya’s jobs program went into effect?

At least he didn’t say Mr Roboto ?..

I strongly suspect this is conservative persecution complex. Sometimes I wish these types of users would go back to Reddit, but Reddit is such a hellscape now I wouldn’t even wish that on condescending .world users. Rather them stay here and bolster lemmy numbers, even with their shit takes included.

We the people aren’t afraid of this, but if the establishment dems catch wind of a primary challenger who’s left of center, they will come down so hard on them with millions in DNC attic ads and literally try to cancel the primary if they have to to keep them out.

It’s much easier to stifle open revolt with sham elections. Putin has been doing this for decades now in Russia.

Good question, maybe FOIA requests but it will probably be all redacted for “national security concerns.” Congress should be able to get the info as well, and could release it at their discretion.

The $175 billion in new ICE funding that’s coming with this spending bill is what they’ll use to build it. Follow that money and you’ll find the mass extermination facilities.

Fight club style

Blatant racism aside, look around at the devastation wrought by repugnantcon policies buddy. Zohran is already in a 3rd world shithole, and he has the audacity to try to make it somewhat more tolerable for those in his city.

Yes, but you need access to get them for such a price. You can’t just walk in off the street with $10k and buy one afaik.

“Money is speech” might have a whole lot to do with it.

We don’t have representation of the electorate, we have a system of open bribery for the rich to control everything with their bought politicians.

Laughable. The one I’m worried about is Kushner.

I’d give him about as much of a chance as Sarah Palin.
