At least it sounds like most people are blaming the Republicans for this. We can only hope they remember this the next time they go vote, but I’m not holding my breath.

Honestly to them, they blame the Democrats. They genuinely think this is the Democrat’s fault. My one friend only stopped saying that once I laid out the facts for them…

You should hear them losing their shit on TikTok over the tariffs. Too bad over 77% of them didn’t vote for their own interests.

The $130 million donation is unlikely to make any meaningful impact toward covering salaries of the roughly 1.3 million active duty military troops, netting out to about $100 per service member.

So will they even disburse it since this pittance is basically useless?

Any source on this that isn’t some site riddled with weird scam pop-ups?

You know, lmao, I really didn’t think about that. You got me there lol

How are they voting on anything with the government being shut down?

I really don’t think you understand what you’re talking about but okay

And the government is not open and they’re not getting paid :) these are regular people working regular jobs in our society who got told, get fucked, you’re going to [place] but you aren’t getting paid for your pointless deployment at the behest of a wannabe tyrant, hope you have savings :)))))))

Negotiating prices with drug companies is what countries with universal healthcare do already. Like I’m all for this if it actually lowers prices for Americans (idk if it will though, as Trump is a grifter first and foremost). I just find it highly amusing that people here HATE the idea of universal healthcare so bad here bc heaven forbid a non-white gets healthcare, but doing this, which is something nearly every government of the world with universal healthcare already does annually, is somehow fine? Is it fine only bc Trump is doing it?

Not to like be a conspiracy theorist, but WTF is going on that everyone everywhere all at once is introducing weird censorship laws? And now the UK with digital ID? What is coming that they don’t want us talking about? We don’t have this in the USA yet, but they keep trying to pass KOSA… what’s really going on?

This picture took me way too long to get the joke on but lmao I’m stealing it

Oh nice! Thank you for the screenshot!!

Not to be stupid (I’m new to trying to get my shit offline and go back to physical media / owning digital copies of all my media) what is a “terminal music player”? I love finding these sorts of projects in my quest to take back my time and money!

Oh buddy you better be careful before you cut yourself on all those edges !

They’ve hated him for a loooooooooooooooooong time and I think they were looking for ANY excuse to get him off the air

True but he got impeached twice already and … nothing really happened with that

So what happens now? Does Trump get a fine or something? Not asking to be an ass, I actually don’t know what the repercussions of this is (I bet it will be nothing)

So when’s the debt bubble going to burst? Because this obviously isn’t sustainable
