A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall

I'm tired, boss....

I generally talk about politics and how dumb all the trump things are.

A good drizzle of the aforementioned hard rain is starting.

*Oh an sorry about the spelling in advance.*
I am fairly certain that a left that was a third party, won some deep blue states so it had skin in the game, and noticed the limits of the system... would be a far better partner.

Currently it feels like they just expect perfect miracles and don't really care about how things get done.

The rest of the world really needs to switch over to the euro, and investments in other markets. Get all the pension investments out of the US market.

This would likely not be easy or simple, but I dont think they want to be attached to where this is going for america.

So france sends troops to greenland, and is in the game now overtly as well.

Hmm, it sounds like tickets for the 1936 Olympics going on sale soon. Who in their right mind would actually buy tickets and go to Berlin to see the Fuehrer?

Trump: you better stop iran.

Iran: uh, sure, we stopped. *screaming and gunshots heard in background.*

Trump: ok thanks! Mission accomplished!

Does the left feel any closer to all the things they say they want? Do they think that trump will help... with years of normalizing right wing insanity, more conservative judges and less international support.

Even if the left gets some elected, there's likely far more barriers in the way now.

This is going to be a long fight after trump is normalizing this shit.
There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it.

We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.

What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

The poor always take a huge hit when the gop takes over.

Just one in a long list of many reasons that I can't see why people sit out or blindly bash dems.
Frost: People should know that them cutting your healthcare, them cutting nutritional assistance, SNAP benefits, all this stuff—they're cutting that from working people so they can give ICE money to go terrorize our communities.

It feels like the europeans on here have this pair of ideas that don't fit together about America.

1. Amercans are stupid. Like super stupid. Like extemely clueless and cant tell what's good from what's bad.

2. That democrats need to lean far left because of all the smart americans.
January 13, 2026 at 7:43 AM
The left: The dems have to show us how they fight and if we cant see it, they are a failure.

Also the left: No, I won't tell you how I fight or where to look for it. You dont need to see it!

1/Kamala Harris was right. On October 29, 2024, she told a crowd: “Donald Trump would walk into that office with an enemies list…Donald Trump intends to use the United States military against American citizens who simply disagree with him.” joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

When I see people who say they've "voted dems all their life for many years" and that they are "giving up" and not voting dem anymore I'm almost CERTAIN they are fake acounts.

If you've voted for many years, you've learned how gov works, you've seen congress minorites before.. and understand.

On criticsm: If you don't understand the point of criticsm... It's beyond useless.

And the point is to discuss what rationally can be done to improve relative to what is possible.

Total negativity at all times demanding impossible perfection is not only damaging but harmful to the critics soul.

Probably 70 percent of the people that complain about the isnane shit under trump would see most of it fixed if they just voted democrat... for the rest of thier lives.

They wouldn't even need to think about it. Not keep up. Not watch ads or debates. Just blind vote.

Not voting Kamala was and is bougie idealism. Millions of people WAY less privledged than you have had their lives destroyed because you couldn't fill in a bubble next to a Black woman's name. Maybe they were the genocide supporters all along.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."

That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

This is an oversimplification, but trump the last three months has had jobs added of basically -170k (negative), and two months of basically +50k. But the unemployment rate went down?

That's like making $150k a month... and it going down to $50k a month and then saying you saved more last month.
January 9, 2026 at 4:20 PM
How is unemployment dropping? 50k is horrible. And we've had three horrible months in a row?

Biden usally had 150k to 250k a month.

Numbers aren't adding up... and never do with trump.
