It’s just a hodge podge of the most cringe people you can imagine. Theater kids, listless boomers, outdoor mask wearers.
These are people that lack purpose and crave attention. Not people that should be making decisions about society.
JUST IN: Former Democratic congressional candidate Elijah Manley arrested on felony charges after threatening to "cut people's heads off" if they don't vote for Florida Senate candidate Angie Nixon.
I hate qualifying arguments like this, but - everyone knows I am about as pro-Ukraine/anti-Russian as it gets. That regularly leads to friction between me and other Republicans, even ones who otherwise align 99%.
With that said, whining from Europeans and the American left about America buying $1B in diesel fuel from Russia is so out of touch with reality. The EU has spent over $200B on Russian fuel and is on-track to buy hundreds of billions more. Most of that was purchased by wealthy EU members who can absolutely afford alternatives.

@herotimeszero Hillary, to this day, claims the election was stolen. She spent four years calling Trump an illegitimate president. She's the original election denier.
I'd also add that it is fine to argue "even one is too many" in this context, because I agree, it is. That's why I think we should have better security at schools.
However, progressives do not apply that logic elsewhere when it does not suit them. For example, they argue violent crime by illegal immigrants is too rare to worry about. But such crime is WAY more common than school shooting deaths.
Texas has recorded 636 homicide convictions for illegal immigrants between 2011 and 2025. That's about 42 per year, in just one state. And again, that's convictions, the real number is higher.
So 8 people dying in school shootings per year means we should undermine the Second Amendment, but 42 murdered per year by illegal immigrants in Texas alone is not grounds for aggressive deportation?
Interesting!
The same number of minors have died in school shootings in Canada this year as in the US (8), even though we have about 8x the population.
And that's using an expansive definition of "school shooting" for us that counts things like gang-related violence after hours in the parking lot of a school. If you only counted situations of killers breaking in to try and murder innocent children and teachers, which is what people actually mean when they say "school shooting," Canada is ahead of us this year.
We should better secure our schools for sure, but people absolutely overstate how common school shootings are here, and pretend other countries don't have them too. Part of our frequency is also due to our very large population.
According to WaPo, from 1999 (Columbine) through 2025, a total of 218 people have been killed in school shootings in the US, or about 8 per year. Obviously, we want it to be zero, not one child should be harmed in schools (or anywhere else). But statistically, it's pretty close to zero. Lightning strikes in the US kill about 3x that number annually.
Imagine growing up seeing the demopublican government uniparty be utterly incompetent for your entire life, unable to build new energy, exporting factories, failing over and over at its ambitions in space, becoming bigger and more bloated and slower year after year until it threatens to eat the entirety of the U.S. economy, with the same geriatric 90 year olds piddling away the future year after year
Then suddenly you have an administration which accepts a flood of young people in government at every level, from the lowest bureaucrats to the halls of the White House
There is fierce debate and plenty of conflict, but there are also motions in policy which we've only dreamed of for decades. Five nuclear reactors turn on under the DOE after decades of stagnation. America returns to orbit the moon
Imagine seeing that and the reaction of a sitting senator is “haha yeah let’s put those fuckin kids in jail to make an example!!”
As a young conservative staffer, I’ve always thought of progressive staffers as honorable opponents in the war of ideas, messaging, and political strategy. I’m learning they do not think of us the same way.
This is a normal Democrat, by the way. The opinion she’s espousing here, that young lawyers should reconsider working for Republicans because they’ll be prosecuted on political grounds when her side takes power, is totally normal now. This is what they believe. They are totalitarians. The Democratic Party is the party of dictatorship and persecution.
He sat defeated after disguising himself as a woman while his people endured the war he started. His last act was desperately throwing a stick, so thoroughly trounced that he couldn't even stand. He lay among the ruins of an apartment building, the people living in it happily sacrificed by him for the sake of isolating Israel.
One must hope that, in his last pathetic moments, he understood he deserved what came next.
I was flying to New York and while boarding the woman in front of me was struggling to get her bag into the overhead bin. I asked if she needed some help and she said no. About an hour into the flight a flight attendant pulled me aside and asked what I had said to her. Turns out she reported me to the crew for sexual harassment and said I made her uncomfortable.
Fortunately several witnesses took my side and so I didn’t get into any trouble, but you’ve still got to be careful. There’s some crazy people out there who will try to ruin your life over nothing.
Leftists genuinely have no clue about human nature. You could destroy every tool on the planet, and we'd still end up beating each other to deaths with our fists.
The goal shouldn't be to destroy warfighting equipment, it should be to destroy the reasons governments go to war in the first place.
I genuinely hope the leftists in France succeed. The barbarism, violence, and vitriol they spew might serve as a wake up call to the West that these wannabe revolutionaries are serious
@KDan1903 It’s not about the wood, dipshit. It’s about the people, French or otherwise, who’ve decided their cultural history is worth less than their entitlement checks
