lol we’re going full ancap now

That was for October 15th the next paycheck is the 30th or something and it sounds like they don’t have the money barring an 11th hour discovery

Edit: didn’t catch the news that some anonymous billionaire(drug money?) did a super chat for the paychecks but 130 mil will just be a partial paycheck that’s not enough but I’m sure they’re gonna keep raiding the couch cushions lmao

If they’re really committing to regime change in Venezuela the shutdown is not going to last much longer . It’s likely it will end with the 60 vote threshold being bypassed they will end the shutdown with a simple majority. Or trump will throw Schumer a bone and the dems will just let this happen

always pay your guys

Jesus Christ I guess it’s gonna be decades again

Except the Hasan stuff was essentially a narrative that was made up out of thin air whereas with this there’s actually something to it.

It’s really hard to understand where people are coming from with this perspective that those of us expressing skepticism about this guy are seeking out “perfection” like Hasan and Zohran have flaws especially the latter but I’m willing to except the possibility that good can come from them.

This is something else entirely it’s not purity politics . So there’s bad faith actors tarring him? I don’t care about the source I don’t feel comfortable getting behind a guy who patrolled abu ghraib and I don’t want the ADL to have an easy W by having a new anti Zionist senator have a Nazi tattoo.

Yes you can dig up dirt on anyone and technology can make that easier but that doesn’t mean we have to get behind this one like cmon now

sounds about right democrat

One thing I’ve learned about California politics is that newsom has frequently vetoed bills that passed with an OVERWHELMING majority in the state senate/assembly and the legislature typically has significantly more than enough votes to override his vetoes.

So why don’t they do it? Literally because of precedent. They don’t do it because that’s just the way it has always been done and they’re afraid to veto because they don’t want to make the governor look bad.

Elected representatives will go as far as criticizing the governor for his vetoes but they refuse to ever do anything about it

Reading about this stuff is going to make me die of cringe so I think I will simply stop

Wikipedia lumping all these together as being a part of “the Gen Z protest movement” is the dumbest shit but it’s also hilarious because it’s pretty clear the consent manufacturing machine that came up with this moniker doesn’t actually support all of these and are probably mad that the strikes for Gaza in Italy and elsewhere are being described as Gen Z protests

The whole narrative surrounding this is bizarre and incoherent…. Young people are protesting? That in of itself is not novel and deserving of a label and this will only get more weird when Wikipedia is forced to contend with the fact that basically any protest that involves young people is going to be called a Gen Z protest by a “reliable source” that isn’t deeply integrated into the consent manufacturing machine such as the nytimes which only describe protests as Gen Z protests if it aligns with US interests.

Because we are being told that this is all innocuous it’s just about young people it will inevitably just be applied to anything and as mass media picks and chooses what does and does not constitute a Gen Z protest the people buying into this bullshit will have to increasingly jump through more and more hoops to justify why any of this even makes sense.

I think it speaks to how lazy the people pushing this stuff have gotten since the effort required is so small compared to back in the day you just have to game the algorithms and get your hashtags out there until western media starts running with the narrative.

Trump is forbidden from mid 2010s Reddit heaven

lfg Hadash the only good political party in the occupations political assembly known as the “Knesset”

With the reports that the GOP isn’t planning on making an exception to provide paychecks for troops during the shutdown I can only assume any major action on Venezuela will not occur until the shutdown is over (or until the executive simply bypasses congress and consolidates power instead which I’m also thinking might happen at this point)

Interesting i was just going off the image that’s being widely shared

Normally I dislike out of context stuff getting shared but like you said zohrans inaccurate defamatory statement towards the two countries just lends consent to do regime change anyway so I don’t feel bad for zohran here at all

Seems like he’s starting to fall for the trap deblasio fell into where he tried to please every group and ended up pleasing no one

I know.

That’s why i said he would have given a similar answer with an additional qualifier (zohran can’t even qualify it)

For example here’s a statement from Bernie in 2019

Zohrans statement is even worse because he can’t even throw a half ass bone to the left about “well also regime change is bad”

This is bad even by Bernie standards who would probably say something similar but qualify it with a call to end the embargo or praise the literacy programs and with Venezuela maybe he would condemn the strikes on the boats and say something vaguely anti war

Sadly the best possible interpretation is that he was actually being honest when he said a few weeks ago “that he didn’t know much about Cuba” and this is just pure ignorance speaking (which is quite profound like how do you have that much political experience plus dsa organizing without knowing basic facts about Cuba) If it’s not ignorance and he knows what a betrayal this is and is doing this as a cynical political calculation not only is that disturbing it also speaks to god awful political instincts like if you wanted a PC answer there’s a million better ways you could have done that you just gave a standard neo con answer dumb ass

On the bright side western media is already running front page news that basically amount to “Hamas agrees to release all hostages and discuss handing over control to independent Palestinian body” when one glances at the story so if these headlines stick long enough it’s a good move since now news normies would see Israel rejecting the gesture out of hand as highly unreasonable

In the past Hamas has made conciliatory statements that were immediately interpreted by western msm headlines as “Hamas rejects ceasefire deal” so in terms of public opinion and consent manufacturing this is a good sign

Edit: trump is the wild card here he wants this deal because he has attached himself heavily to this one and labels it as a “trump deal” so he wouldn’t be happy with an outright rejection following this one since the media interpretation is already becoming established. (Even on foxnews.com the headline says Hamas agreed to release hostages as a part of trump proposed deal)

I suspect the Israelis will still attempt to torpedo this however but they may try to “humor” further discussion and just stonewall them during those so they can try and convince people Hamas still isn’t budging on anything.

Reading the reviews it appears to be mostly the same kind of slop. (Note that Google automatically translates reviews into English now this was originally in Arabic)

Really surreal you got a dude 40 miles from the border of yemen ordering a “cowboy ribeye” you can’t make this shit up

Whatever it will be a different story with this idiot every month
