Just your regular guy living in NYC and commenting on politics irregularly. Will post here more often soon.

The people #waiting for a #housing crash to buy their first home?
The 50-year #mortgage is #specifically designed to make sure that crash never comes.
At your expense.

47 days to become an ICE #agent.
#Army basic training is 10 weeks — and that's considered short.
We gave people guns and power after less training than a #UPS driver.

ICE agents #covering their faces + no #oversight + barely-trained = a #private #army.
Not federal law enforcement. A private army for the President.

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

ICE has been #blocking members of Congress from inspecting #detention #facilities.
Congress has oversight #powers. That's in the Constitution.
This is not okay.

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

Hot take: The US is not becoming like #China.
China has #stability and #safety.
The US is becoming #something worse — chaos without freedom.

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

When #guardrails are removed from any #system with armed people,
the result is always the #same.
#History has proven this every single time.

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

#Question: Do you feel safer or less #safe with the expansion of #ICE?
A) Safer
B) #Less safe
C) It doesn't affect me #personally

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

ICE is no longer what we thought it was.

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

#Presidential #immunity + no national #injunctions = law without #consequences.
And law without consequences is not law.
It's just a suggestion. [LINK: /government/law-is-useless-without-consequences/]

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

The pattern: #Break the law → Get sued → #Delay for 2 years → Win by default.
By the time the #court rules against you, the #building's already been demolished.

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

#Federal workers were illegally fired.
#Courts ruled in their favor.
The jobs were gone. The #damage was done.
Legal victory. #Real-world loss.

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

Hot take: #SCOTUS destroyed the #rule of #law faster than any politician could.
When the highest court removes #consequences, it's over.

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

#Executive #orders are now de facto #laws.
Because by the time they're struck down, they've already done the work.
This is the new #playbook.

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

Question: Do you still trust the US #legal system to hold #power #accountable?
A) Yes
B) No
C) I used to

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

The irony: The #Supreme Court of the #United States dismantled the #rule of law.

#Propaganda doesn't need you to #believe it.
It just #needs you to feel tired.
Once you stop #fighting, they win. [LINK: /government/data-and-propaganda/]

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

They #threw out a number: #millions of people over 150 collecting #Social #Security.
You know it's false. But part of you still #wonders "maybe a little?"
That's how it works.

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

The #goal isn't to convince you.
The goal is to #exhaust you until you stop caring.
Don't let them #win that way.

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

#Hot take: The most dangerous #voter isn't the MAGA voter.
It's the person who #stopped paying #attention.

[CPulse1996 @CPulse1996]

When you feel #overwhelmed by political #news, that's by design.
The #firehose of chaos is a #strategy, not an #accident.
