This is going to have "downstream" impacts as well... For those poorer Americans that are "lucky" enough to have a space to rent out, that rent is going to get more expensive to cover the loss of income they need...

Between the social security, Medicare/Medicaid (I can never remember which is which) and this bullshit, my rent is about to skyrocket so my landlord can stay afloat. :/

I would laugh hysterically if news of his death lead to an immediate jump in the stock price as well.

I would also just be very very happy to not have to share the same planet with that opportunistic Nazi asshat.

You're seriously misunderstanding my comment if you think I'm a tankie. Hell I even posted a comment in another thread mentioning my distaste for the "dictatorship of the proletariat" concept.

My comment was about the fact that we openly refer to a judges political beliefs to inform us of how we should feel about them because the judiciary has gotten so broken that we can essentially tell how a judge will rule based on their political leanings as opposed to simply following the law. I didn't mean to say "we only have liberal and conservative judges" as some lamentation of the lack of leftist judges.

While that also sucks, it's not really what I meant. I just hate that it's come to the point that we need to identify the judges by their political leanings because that's how they rule on cases as opposed to a straight interpretation of what the law says which is what they're supposed to do.

If the judges have those personal beliefs and a case related to that comes before them I'd want them to consider the law not their personal beliefs, so we shouldn't have to be identifying them in this way.

We've come to identify them by their political leaning because it has come to the point that we get rulings based on their political leaning as opposed to what the law says. Hell it's why muskrat was pushing for "his" judge to win. He knew that the judge he backed would rule in his favor and we know he would have ruled in favor of Republicans plans for gerrymandering when that absofucukinglutly should not be the case. :(

I'm glad, but I'm still pretty damn irritated that we're all seemingly "ok" with the fact that we just have "liberal" and "conservative" judges.

They're supposed to be impartial. We shouldn't be able to tell how they're going to rule based on their political leaning, it should be purely about the law. :(

As an American I can say its actually gotten a lot easier, it's all sad. Just sad all the time.

The ultra wealthy will face the consequences of their actions!

...it's always nice to hope though. :(

"We were told that bombs were a positive thing! My staff used to say things like "that bill you shot down was the bomb! Why would you do that?" And I would reply "oh you silly child, positive actions are for the already wealthy not for you." Then we'd all laugh... Well I would laugh, I don't care about their reaction. They don't pay me."

There are practically endless similar examples because MAGA doesn’t stand for anything it claims to

"Trump is the president for peace, Biden will start WWIII!"

Parroting fox news: "we don't need to be so friendly anymore, we need to take Canada and Greenland by force if necessary."

"Trump will bring down inflation and the price of food!"

Parroting fox news: "It's our duty to pay higher prices to support American businesses!"

"Trump and the GOP represent the party of law and order, they will protect the constitution!"

"What Trump says goes, anyone obstructing his plans are traitors! He deserves a 3rd term! He who saves his country breaks no laws!"

MAGA stands for anything that gets them what they want in the immediate moment and then tosses it away when their needs change... It's infuriating.

Time really. After a while none of the conspiracies played out, or I just "researched" enough on my own using actual legitimate sources as opposed to YouTube schmucks and learned how to reason things out.

Yep. And what we correctly point out is propaganda and lies, they call The Truth™

Magoos irritate me, but if there's one group of people I hate more than ANYTHING it's the fucking propagandists like fox news, OANN, Newsmax, etc.... they make all this shit we're seeing possible and they keep us divided. They created multiple versions of "reality" for us to fight over...

Fucking cancer on society.
