I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Maybe Miller realizes the 2024 election did not mark the end of history.

Antifa is the abridged form of antifascist, so your forebears who fought Hitler, Franco, Mussolini or any fascist dictatorship in the 20th century, every single one was Antifa. So, as hard as you may find it to grasp, to oppose Antifa is to oppose democracy, and put a noose around your own neck.

For the hard of thinking: It's impossible impossible to be 'a member of Antifa' because it doesn't exist. No head office, membership list, number you can call, or website to visit. Antifa is a political and social ideology, based on the very simple idea that we are all human, first and foremost. 1/2

Doing politics the right way is when the far-right regime in power memorializes a fallen influencer by terrorizing an academic that the influencer's McCarthyist organization once baselessly singled out for abuse.

The collective position of the Labour shadow cabinet (which you were part of) for months after October 7th was to reject a ceasefire & Labour instructed its MPs not to vote for a ceasefire in Nov 2023.

And claiming investors haven't made a profit for a number of years is meaningless. They've made enormous profits since privatisation, depriving the business of the necessary funding for infrastructure upgrades, repairs, regular maintenance, etc. Essentially, their greed is what caused their losses.
