"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

Here, here! They hate the fact that anybody has anything. They legitimately cant stand it, it makes them seethe and foam at the mouth if they aren’t on top and in control. They need to be locked away from civilized society due to their extreme mental illness
Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

I think at this point that mainstream Dems just don’t give a shit.
Please tell me I'm not reading this. Please tell me are minority house leader isn't on a book tour while the country fucking burns to the ground. Please don't disappoint me like this.

Another absolute win for states rights activist, right? What’s the point of this and how is this legal, fuck Trump. The only people who bitched about this were multimillionaires who refuse to take public transit.

Finally, billionaires can take their revenge on the average person for daring to breathe the same air as them, living gods that they are. They will not stop until we are dead or living in company slums, only then will they know peace.
One of Elon Musk’s closest friends, a billionaire co-founder of Airbnb, is taking a role in President Trump’s administration to help Musk carry out his drive to slash the federal bureaucracy, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

If it wasn’t clear that Zionist Jews are willing to throw other Jews under the bus to fulfill their genocidal dreams, well, here’s the proof. They don’t care, and they don’t see Jews who won’t kowtow to Israel as “real” Jews.

I’m angry, no, livid at the current state of America. About how we let a couple billionaires completely steal everything from us, and how they are about to pick every last American’s pockets. If you’re not angry you are foolish. These people hate us, return the favor.

capitalism filters the most short-sighted and cruel members of society to the positions of greatest power, those qualities being necessary for prioritizing short-term shareholder value over less important things like the planet not going on fire

i hate the discover feed libs mocking elon musk in bigoted ways for the obvious reason but also because it stems solely from him being on the wrong 'side.' if he did all the same shit but in support of biden they'd be buying cybertrucks. "we've got the world's greatest inventor on our side!" etc

Parents no longer read to their kids, and when kids don’t see their parents read they are unlikely to pick up a book themselves. This has been a long decline in the world, and will continue as long as the written word is devalued.

A disgraced congressman still invited to the congressional Christmas party. Looks like he tipped the right people before getting kicked out, or maybe it’s all just a country club with permanent membership.
Former New York Rep. George Santos has been full of the holiday spirit this December, boasting about making trips to “the swamp” to meet with lawmakers and “industry leaders,” taking shots at fellow fallen congressmembers, and making a cameo as Santa Claus at a congressional Christmas party.
Ex-NY Rep. George 'Santos Claus' prepares for 'punch in the face' this holiday season
The Republican ex-congressmember is scheduled for sentencing in February on Long Island.

Without evidence, Israel has arrested the last doctor at the last hospital in North Gaza and declared that he's a "militant". Here is his piece from earlier in December for NYT Opinion www.nytimes.com/2024/12/02/o...

Most of the medical staff members at Kamal Adwan Hospital are gone. One of the last doctors working there shares his story.
