He’s so selfish and arrogant that catering to his ego will be critical. I think he’d prefer a crummy deal that lets him look good, over a great deal that embarrasses him. He doesn’t care what’s best for the USA long term; he’d rather look good now.

It’s like Netanyahu saw what Trump has been doing, and said to himself “I better step up the douchebaggery!”

Perfect capitalism maneuver. Straight from the playbook.

1. Treat workers like shit

2. Blame them when they finally reach the breaking point

Good for them - in this one particular situation

The common “internet atheist” drives me nuts. Such arrogance! Such stubbornness! I will proudly yell “I DON’T KNOW!” from the highest mountaintop, and remain open minded.

Thanks for the YouTube recommendation!

If the entire world dies for any of those reasons, it’s humanity’s own damn fault. There will be nothing supernatural about it. You won’t owe anyone any kind of explanation.

Yeah. I understand how the idea can make people uncomfortable, but there’s a big difference between discomfort and hatred.

Just calm down, folks. Nobody’s going to force surgery or medication on you, okay? Jeez.

lol I voted for her anyway, because I thought she was better than the alternative. If I only knew…

My point is that her timid, business-as-usual stance was a dealbreaker for a lot of people. How many voted 3rd party, or didn’t vote at all, because she refused to explicitly oppose genocide? How many Democrats like me still voted for her, but weren’t nearly as enthusiastic as they could have been?

Okay, let’s play infantile, pedantic word games.

I tend not to agree with people who won’t make a clear, strong, ethical stand against genocide. Fuck me, right?

They supported genocide. No amount of handshakes would have overcome that.

Transphobia has never made any sense to me, a cishet male. It’s like… has it ever occurred to you that different people have different needs? Stop being a hateful transphobic jackass and open your mind a fraction.

DOGE will eliminate this ridiculous waste of money, right? Right?

Ah. Thank you. I didn’t know that.

That’s a really shitty contract.

Yeah, but the DHS is taking a massive risk each time they fire someone because of a polygraph. Without other evidence, they will have no legal defense if sued.

Polygraph tests are so unreliable, they’re not even admissible in court.

Not exactly a rock solid case if someone who’s fired decides to sue - which I hope happens frequently.

I’m sure this will work exactly as planned, and have no negative consequences whatsoever.

Thanks In Advance

Context, please? TIA

This is just the right kind of absurd for our current government circus. I believe the headline completely without even reading the article.

Start insisting that they help pay your bills
