I haven’t been on my phone or looking at the news all day so this was my first exposure to the shooting. Brown University never even came across my mind and I thought it was either a person with the name “Brown” or they were just going full racist.

That’s what I find crazy. People used to eat there all the time because it was so cheap. These days you’ll be lucky to find anything under $5 and most combos cost upwards of $15+. All my coworkers used to stop there for lunch between job sites but now they all just bring shit from home. If you are still eating there at this point my guess is you just like mediocre food. If beef prices weren’t so messed up right now I’d say it’d be cheaper just to make it at home.

Everything I hear about this man makes me think he has a wet noodle for a spine. For how great of a state Colorado is, their governor is a fucking disgrace.

And I’m sure they’ll honor that with same integrity that they apply to everything else.

The problem with most authoritarian regimes is that most of the people involved are selfish. Pretty much everyone in Trump’s entourage is only on his side for personal gain. When he dies it’s gonna be a bloodbath as they fight over anything and everything. It’d be funny if they weren’t taking us all down with them.

My guess is that they don’t quite have the resources to do anything about it but are more than happy to let everyone know they are doing it to scare people. We’ve already seen how abysmal their ICE recruitment numbers have been and I highly doubt they’d be able to do anything against more than 50% of the entire population with what they currently have.

Obligatory Fuck ICE

Of course they do, they’re not as dumb as she is. She actually believed his bullshit while all the other Republicans are just greedy and/or cowards. The only reason 90% of them even follow along and spew his bullshit is because they have something they want or have something they don’t wanna lose. You can almost see the distain in their faces when he speaks to the press next to them. Whenever I see someone like Mike Johnson speak the only thing I see is a man that desperately wants to take advantage of everyone he doesn’t like but deep down wishes everything would go back to normal. But now he’s too scared to do either so he just says “I don’t know” whenever anyone asks him a question.

Just because the man has a “D” next to their name they have to act like it’s a good thing.

At this point in time I’m pretty sure you would win in a landslide if you ran on taxing billionaires. Is being greedy a requirement to be a politician in the US?

Judge, jury, and executioner. It sounds like I’m joking because it’s not supposed to be a real thing, but it is ultimately what they want.

There are 13 billionaires that live in Washington state.

I’ve literally seen videos of children’s bodies being carried with a missing head, having bullet holes through their face, or having mangled bodies. I’ve seen videos of Palestinians trying to get food while getting shot at and hiding behind rubble. I’ve seen videos of civilians getting shot right in front of their children and hit with bombs while minding their own business. And I’m so tired of seeing people in suits up on a stage without a care in the world saying “it’s not that bad” with a straight fucking face at every single thing going wrong in this world.

I run into that same issue from time to time. Another one I run into is when I click on items on the task bar it doesn’t bring it up as the active window even when everything else is working. I have to ALT+tab to bring up any Window or minimize every window just to find the one I want and it is absolutely infuriating.

I use windows 10 at home while I use windows 11 at work. The only thing I like about windows 11 is tabs in the file explorer. Besides that I’ve had to deal with Windows Explorer crashing on a daily basis, task bar freezing completely multiple times a week, certain software straight up not working that I need to get work done, programs crashing that work perfectly fine on 10, internet connectivity issues (usually DNS for some fucking reason), periodically hearing the disconnect sound for a device even when everything is still working, awful drop down menus, needing to change the registry just to get basic features that 10 has, and the list goes on and on. At home everything just works. I’ve been testing Linux and have been getting better stability than Windows 11 and I feel like every week there’s a new problem.

Let’s be honest, there isn’t a single name on that list that will surprise anyone anymore. At this point the oligarchs are so blatantly corrupt and out in the open I’d be more surprised if there was a list of them that declined the offer.

The only reason they are caving on any of this is because they think they have already won somehow. If Trump says he has nothing to hide that means he’s hidden the truth.

With how much external funding gets shoved into AI startups these days, I feel like 90% of AI startups are basically just a pump and dump with extra steps and targeted at investors. He’s probably already gotten millions in investments already just by this announcement.

My guess is they’ve successfully scrubbed everything involving Republicans like they said they were already doing with Trump so now they all feel safe in “releasing” them, or it’ll get blocked under the pretense of the current investigation into Democrats. The only reason any of them would ever want them released at this point is if they think they’ve already won.

As shitty of a situation this is, I can see this backfiring spectacularly. If they out any Democrats that were involved with Epstein it’s very likely they were all running around in all the same circles back in the day and could easily release any information they want when they have nothing to lose. If there’s one thing we’ve all learned about these scum of the earth it’s that they only care about themselves and absolutely love taking revenge on other people. I’m sure almost everyone that was ever involved with Epstein has dirt on someone else that was involved.

Cool, so they caved and literally accomplished nothing. Just a big fucking waste of time and republicans didn’t even have to make a single compromise.
