@RetroCoast@MrSausageGet No. The entire law enforcement and military apparatus would be turned against them and the soldiers and LEOs will comply because they don’t want to lose their pensions.
In the end, the elites have you in a vise. And there’s no way you’re voting your way out of this
@FightWithMemes And what’s so intimidating about dating a surgeon? There are literally tens of thousands of them in the U.S. alone. It’s not like you’re dating a Nobel laureate or somebody so lauded they’re constantly stopped on the street. It’s a job. It probably pays well but it’s a job.
@FightWithMemes I hear this all the time. “Men are too intimidated….blah blah blah”
There are plenty of career women out there who are married—many happily so if they want to be.
Maybe the woman in question is a toxic pain in the ass.
@WallStreetApes And what exactly did humanity get from the effort? Posts. Posts. None of which we needed to see. Nothing that enhanced our life in the long term. A good variety of different scams being promoted.
Garbage.
And for that we poisoned our beautiful planet.
@DerrickEvans4WV If you ever do wind up seeing “results” it will only because they want to fool you so you buy into this carnival ride again.
Don’t do it
@annvandersteel Lindsey will get hired by K street. He’ll become a part of the shadow government and he’ll have even more power than he does right now. He’s been carrying water for a long time. No way they’ll surrender that asset. The defense industry has invested too much.
@JJCarrell14 Pride comes before the fall. It's a movie. It's fiction. Francis Coppola thought Apocalypse Now would win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Hollywood has always inflated its importance in the grand scheme. The entertainment industry has never been more reviled than it is today.
@OwenShroyer1776 It's really just monkeys flinging poo. They will install anybody they want. For more info, check out the recent Kentucky and Los Angeles Mayorial elections.
Our votes are irrelevant.
@rmerc145@RealFrankFromFL Nobody is triggered. You're the one that started this whole discussion. I have no idea who you are, and until a moment ago, I had no idea what you're about. Frankly, I'm indifferent. See my "Who cares?" comment above.
Not sure how your credentials play into this but OK.
@rmerc145@RealFrankFromFL Correct. I have the capacity to disagree with a particular thing a person says but still find value in other things she or he offers.
I’m shocked you’re not able to hold dissonant thoughts like this. It’s not that hard to do.
I’m running for Governor because we are losing the Florida we love: farmland is disappearing, data centers we didn’t vote for are being forced on us, entire neighborhoods are being bought up by private equity, and out-of-control inflation is crushing Florida families.
It doesn’t have to be this way. That’s why on August 18th, I’m asking for your vote so we can save the Florida we love.
@RyanSmithFL@ByronDonalds It still shocks me a little bit how so many people are still totally and completely—and blissfully asleep in our reality.
We are a nation of fools
A Letter from Gen X
I’ve read the letter from Gen Z from early this morning and the response from the Boomers around noon today.
As someone born in the late 70s, I sit right in the middle. We watched our parents get laid off in the 80s and 90s. We saw pensions disappear and loyalty to companies punished. We entered the workforce during multiple recessions and the beginning of mass offshoring. We were told to “just go to college” right before tuition exploded and wages stagnated.
We are the generation that saw the betrayal in real time and still tried to play by the old rules.
To Gen Z: Yes, it got harder. The ladder was pulled up. The social contract was broken. Many of us feel the same anger you do.
To the Boomers: Some of you fought it. Many of you did not. Too many went along with the cheap labor policies, the trade deals, and the open border experiments because it made their 401(k)s go up and their house values increase. You benefited from the system even as it started to crack.
We Gen Xers are the ones who had to adapt. We became cynical early. We watched both parties sell us out. We saw our parents’ generation get discarded and decided never to fully trust institutions again.
The truth is simple: The generations before us built something great. Then politicians and global interests slowly sold pieces of it off. Each generation since has inherited less of the original promise.
We don’t need more blame. We need to stop the bleeding.
The country still has incredible potential, but only if we quit pretending the last 40 years of policy were accidental.
A tired but still fighting Gen X
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
