I saw a comment saying the U.S. is the only country in the World Cup without universal healthcare. And I was like nahhh no way that's accurate.
20 seconds on the world wide web later, THE UNITES STATES IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD CUP WITHOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.
@nee_massey That's right. Most of us are good, hopeful people navigating a challenging environment. I dare say, B&S fans are just inherently disposed to being even nicer people, because we appreciate joy in great music.
They didn’t want Zohran Mamdani to win because once people see a politician who isn’t bought by corporations, does his job and actually improves people’s lives, the establishment’s game is up
Kinda funny that "certain" people were predicting Sharia Law & mass population exodus in NYC from the Mamdani era, and instead it's like the most joyous the city has ever been 😂
I hate to break it to you - but the United States is an absolute, incoherent shitshow.
The idea that we have ‘representative government’ is ridiculous. If that were true we would not have wasted billions killing Iranians for no reason at all. Some people wanted this - but the voters who elected this government did not.
Let’s go further. When Trump goes to China - he brings our ‘great billionaires’ with him. I can’t think of any more obvious symbol that we live in an oligarchy that does everything it can to manipulate outcomes - and that voting is a bit of a joke. It’s like he’s bringing with him ‘the ruling elite.’ Because that is what he did.
We have at least 40 million illegal aliens living here. Our business ‘leaders’ engineered this by bribing politicians to keep the border open - because they wanted to pay low wages and make mucho $$ for themselves. When people objected because their incomes were falling - the business leaders accused them of racism and funded Barack Obama to become POTUS.
The USA is $40 trillion in debt - and no one has a plan to solve that problem. Absolutely no one. This will blow up one day - and it will destroy normal people who save in dollars - because the unspoken plan is to destroy the currency and save the rich and destroy the rest. But people who own our homes - like Blackstone or Blackrock - won’t care because their assets will follow inflation. Everyone else will be reduced to paupers renting from them - their bank accounts gone.
The United States today is hopelessly dysfunctional. It lacks a coherent population that can even agree on anything. It is bankrupt - but the rest of the world is propping it up because they are also scared of what happens when the dollar collapses. It doesn’t have any smart leaders - and we have to watch insiders doing oil trades to make $$ on the Iran war - and the administration itself sells shit coins. Our foreign policy is a total joke - not strategic in any way at all. It is driven by special interests, and then not even followed through. And people are actuality making money on it - pump and dump coming straight from the White House.
This is a hell of a way to celebrate 250 Years! At least we can have a cage match on the White House lawn that degrades our entire history and underscores just how bad and ridiculous things are!
Thank you for your attention to this matter! Enjoy the circus! If you’re lucky you will be dead when the music stops!
I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna be nicer about this. Neocon boomers are mortgaging my generations future by amassing trillions in debt, turning America into a pariah on the global stage, and getting our troops killed for another failing war.
I have to watch these neocons lie about the state of this war on TV every single day. Then, the moment I push back and assertively ask, “hey, what’s the actual goal here?” I have a legion of neocon boomers telling me I should know my place. Or I should wait my turn to talk with the grown ups.
Fuck that, genuinely.
I’m not claiming to have all of the answers or be all knowing. But young people deserve a seat at the table to fight for our interests as well. 95% of media is made up of boomers in suits who created these problems, and being nicer isn’t going to fix them.
wtf is the deal with the bedroom/bathroom ratios in luxury real estate? like I just saw a 14 million dollar mansion on zillow that had 2 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms? these rich people really be no sleep all poop huh?

Fucking outrageous. And highly illegal.
"Trump has grifted his entire life. Now he’s just taking it.
The State Department transferred $1.25 billion in foreign aid to Trump’s Board of Peace, pulling $1 billion from international disaster assistance, $200 million from peacekeeping operations, and $50 million from international organizations.
Money that Congress authorized for hurricanes and refugees, moved without a congressional vote, into a fund that Trump created by executive order and controls personally. When reporters asked the State Department about it, a spokesperson said they had nothing to announce at this time.
The Board of Peace has one defining characteristic. Trump controls it forever. He named himself chairman for life. No audits. No transparency requirements. No conflict of interest rules.
Countries pay $1 billion into a fund he runs to get a seat at the table. It has transferred nothing to Gaza, disclosed nothing about its spending, and received $1.25 billion of your disaster relief money without a word of explanation.
When he leaves the White House he keeps the fund. That is not a loophole. That is the design."
He’s Not Grifting Anymore. He’s Just Taking It. https://t.co/eYb5g4g9bR
I’m convinced there is a 2028 presidential lane for a candidate who runs an explicit and laser-focused campaign against the master plan that legalized corruption.
Some Dem should listen to our podcast Master Plan, then just
run against what we expose.
Early Monday morning, seconds before Trump posted he was postponing escalation of the war in Iran, a handful of oil market bets were made to cash in on Trump's post. These were people with inside info - most likely in the White House.
You need to know this story of corruption.
The most brutal 40-second summary of Trump's disastrous Iran war. James O'Brien completely dismantles the incoherent, contradictory lies being fed to the public about nuclear capabilities, regime change, and the Strait of Hormuz. Absolute humiliation.
I have never witnessed a US president who is more disconnected from reality than Trump. Megalomania, malignant narcissism, and insanity in someone with this much power is a recipe for disaster. As a country, we are in the midst of Orwell's nightmare. 😳👇
