“We’ve been treating people like shit for 20 years now. You’re not over that yet?”

I was talking to a friend about his the other day, and he said he likes to get his news from “the left and the right” to get the “full story.”

He said there are far fewer right-wing news sources, and that he doubted I could even name three. I had no issue naming a dozen, and I could have kept going.

Corporate media, by it’s very nature, is right-wing. They will never advocate for the workers owning the networks or overturning the status quo. There are no “mainstream” leftist news sources in the US.

I don’t see why you should put your face in his video if he isn’t sharing the money. It sounds like he wants free labor to me.

The giveaways to billionaires were pretty subtle if you have oatmeal for brains.

Bari Weiss’ whole career has been laundering far-right talking points for reactionary “centrists.”

She’s a ghoul, and I have to think that she knows it but the pay is good.

In announcing his Senate candidacy, Sasse expressed strong opposition to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), calling himself “the anti-Obamacare candidate” and declaring that “If it lives, America as we know it will die.” In the Senate, Sasse continued to support repeal of the ACA. In 2017, with Republicans unable to develop a repeal-and-replace plan that could secure a majority in the Senate, Sasse proposed an immediate repeal with a one-year delay in implementation, and called on the Senate to give up its August recess to allow it to work on a replacement measure.

I have no sympathy for people who condemn others to death or poverty in order to enrich themselves. Reap the whirlwind, motherfucker.

I went to a trade school to be an automotive tech, and they had a job fair near the end of the program where all of the local dealerships came out to give out information and set up interviews.

I came out of the program with an entry level hourly position as a technician at the BMW dealership and worked with a master tech until I was ready to start flagging hours.

Speaking as someone from the USA, so there’s probably a bit of a cultural difference, but I’d say it’s the most likely way to secure a decent job in the industry. Otherwise, you could likely get a job busting down tires and doing oil changes at a local shop. You’ll be getting experience that way, but what you learn will be very dependent on the individual shop. It’s a much cheaper alternative, though (at least in the US).

How dare you. Those cognitive tests were preventative.

“Eligibility reforms” means “give overworked people a ton of extra paperwork to do in the hope that they either give up or make an error so that we can drop them.”

How you know they’re on the same side in one picture:

Is there a worse group of miserable assholes than the Heritage Foundation?

The man charged with planting two pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican party headquarters on the eve of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol told the FBI he believed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, according to two people familiar with the matter.

So… Not an anarchist like the cops initially reported, but rather a stupid and violent right-wing “lone wolf.” What prize do I win for correctly predicting this? I must be able to see the future to know that the cops were bullshitting, huh?

Who wants to bet that this is just another right-wing nutjob and not an “anarchist” at all?

I might believe the cops if they weren’t constantly caught lying to further their right-wing projects.

He’s going to look so shocked if he gets fired. I guarantee it.

Then do something, assholes.

Or keep acting like cowards who are afraid of what Grabby Grandpa’s gonna call you, that seems more likely.

She’s insubordinate? He (technically) works for HER.

Fuggin stupid overinflated wanker. Nobody smart respects him, either. In fact, he sounds like a cornered coward.

This is the biggest takeaway: billionaires live in a society apart. They know their money will insulate them from consequences, and so do their sycophants.

The tastes of the duke were peculiar. He had a fine eye for colors and effects. He disregarded the decora of mere fashion. His plans were bold and fiery, and his conceptions glowed with barbaric lustre. There are some who would have thought him mad. His followers felt that he was not. It was necessary to hear and see and touch him to be sure that he was not.
