lol what a douche

Trump and cronies literally only quote Old Testament beliefs which are overridden by Jesus Christ in the New Testament for as he is the literal son of God to Christians.

To forego to teachings of Christ is to not be a Christian - Trump , Vance , etc. are convenient to call themselves but are not.

They all love the Old Testament and forego the New Testament, which is literally the teachings of Jesus (a pacifist) and therefore they are quite literally not Christians in that they do not follow Jesus’ teachings.

What I’ll call basic confidence-mogging got me laid far more than these incels lol

Must have missed where the Pope said he “likes crime and stuff” … you’d think Donnie and his corrupt sycophants would be thrilled

Lived for over a decade in a Hispanic area of Chicago renting cheap, great people great culture.

Good friend of mine lived with a family of immigrants in Chicago’s Chinatown, great people , great culture

Only a coward can’t live with others due to minor differences

AI helps me when I have stress which causes severe insomnia which causes more stress .. ; it’s 3am and I can just vent to it and it provides realistic and helpful feedback.

Used to go to the insomnia page on reddit but it’s full of hypochondriac people and doomers

How would the average American’s life change without the war? Not a bit.

Now we’re paying out the nose at the pump for the foreseeable future and will never see any return while also being bludgeoned on and off by tariffs to fill Trump’s pockets

Weird how the public wasn’t onboard

Consumer Advocates Link Data Centers to Higher Electric Bills. Here’s What to Know The Citizens Utility Board is sounding the alarm on data centers’ growing demand on the electrical grid, saying Illinois consumers can expect higher electric bills.

Illinois our electric bills are stupid high now due to data centers making us foot the bill; no joke.

Cost of living sucks

I mean, geopolitically he’s absolutely not trying to “conserve” much from how America has set itself since WW2 ; he’s more nor less an authoritarian radical attempting to reshape the world order into something clearly pre-Trump and post-Trump

That’s fair , - I’m just speaking of personal experience and observations of those I love. Friends and family of mine who went very hard right here because of 10/7 and feeling of betrayal by liberals/democrats in its immediate wake with the “whatabout-ism” from the left which drove them right

Might not control , but he’s absurdly easy to influence if you want to flatter him and suck up to his narcissism

Haha that is fair. Been a while since I read it (oddly before all this, read it back under Bush) but it is definitely incredibly predictive of how this has all unfolded.

Many older Jewish men I know voted Trump after 10/6 and fervently still support it because of the support toward Israel. Many of the younger Jewish men I know don’t.

The Hamas attacks really had a major lasting influence on global outlook, and that is understandable but also can be frustrating

That book is brilliant and also sad how much it is assumed that the fascist takeover will be from deeply intelligent thinkers and not just rage bait social media, opportunist sycophants and a clown of a man who has the vocabulary of a second-grader

Man, I had to commute two hours a day from Chicago to a worksite for years - audiobooks were my saving grace in bumper to bumper traffic

Our electric prices are through the goddamn roof to pay for the very infrastructure that plans to steal our jobs and ruin our State’s environment to flow cash into the pockets of the first trillionaires.

Princess Mononoke for me

Such a bold tactic to draw all the attention to whatever bombshell is about to drop when 65% of the country is already pissed at your performance

$50k a year is entry-level at a minimum in any sane country

Not just a proxy state but also their sugar-daddy.

The fact a bunch of guys with bulldozers and AK’s got through their expensive defenses (that we paid for) and the reaction in Congress was to send them more tons money for their complacency fuck-up… I’m amazed how much leverage Israel has on us

Iran’s regime is going to do victory laps for years after no matter how long this whole debacle takes

Yes yes we know

Also, I had no insider info ; but plane with two people went down , one person was rescued … didn’t take Iran to do the math for me

This is fucked , even for him. Yet our government will do nothing

A solid number wanted the economy we had under 2016 Trump up to Covid because money drives the world often - for their sins, they got the opposite

Yes we know. We all know. Call a spade a spade - he’s lost the plot and is unfit for office. Stop the pussyfooting around the fact that he’s now , more than ever , an irrational actor not working in the nation’s actual interest

I assume they are purging the generals who will not go along with what is being planned in the shadows to stay in power

The sadism of a ton of MAGA people toward others they didn’t like fucked our country
