Bruh you can’t feed your people. Maybe lay off the fever dreams.

Put him in the clink for 72 hours.

i should run a crypto scam

If any Canadians are uh… interested…

I’m pretty sure any fire suppression systems are necessarily disabled during construction.

Furthermore, someone doing K > 1 tours is not just an ordinary evil thing, it’s an incredibly evil thing, so forgive me if it takes a lot lot lot of good to be done before I start to consider their debt to humanity paid off.

And thats totally fair.

And that’s with 0 services rendered.

I think I agree strongly with this. The dude has MUCH explaining to do, but he deserves the oppurtunity to do so. When I’ve seen him speak publically, he’s a once in a lifetime speaker. But dude did get nazi tattoo. Dude did work for blackwater. Those are extraordinary things, which he also hasn’t denied or deflected.

And extraordinary things require extraordinary explanation. I don’t think these are deal breakers, but surely a period of explanation and reflection is warranted.

thats great but he gets to start with his local council or some other low level political office and work his way up

So I saw this being put out by a (former) Republican turned Democrat consultant on a podcast yesterday. It smacks of the kind of gatekeeping that has kept establishment Democrats in control of the party but losing elections for decades.

I mean I could not have told you that it was a white nationalist symbol. It just looked like a cartoon skull to me.

the usual “he’s a communist”

They running that at the same time they saying he’s a secret nazi

Four tours, as a veteran, like… I’m not excusing it, but some of the most anti-fascist people I know did multiple tours. I saw the writing on the wall and didn’t re-enlist but everyone’s situation and place that they are is different.

Of the people who have done several orders of magnitude more work to stop fascism, real, physical, on the ground work, all of them are military service members who saw active duty. One did two tours, and was at Falluja, and another had his humvee blown up from underneath him when command told his company to go drive a road they knew for a fact had IED’s. One went on to be a DJ (actually he might do lighting idk), the other became a nurse and worked directly with Dr. Faucci at the CDC. Both were raised extremely conservative, and because they were given an opportunity to become a person they actually wanted to be, they changed.

Discussion point: Graham Platner has some very questionable aspects to their backstory.

I say this as both an unabashed leftist, and a veteran. I was downloading MP3’s of Democracy Now! and discussing Zinn with my section chief in 2003.

I propose the following material for review:

Don Lemon and Wajahat on the matter of Portner

Humanist report on Portner

TYT on Platner

Breaking points on Platner

I say this as someone who has met with Platner and as part of an organization I volunteer with, we endorsed Platner about 5 days before this came out. I’ve been on the endorsements committee, and we’ve never previously had to rescind an endorsement.

I’m interested in what you, Lemmy, have to say on this matter.

Like, do people genuinely expect a council to appear and pick up the recession ground hog, and ask it if there are 6 more months of sad times?

“Debate of a generation”

Bruh look at the polling. These fuckers didn’t win the primary, they got crushed, and its only gone more in Mamdani’s favor since. There isn’t even a story here other than that the corporate media wants you to believe there is a horse race here when there isn’t.

And guess what? All this extra/ free press they’ve given to this story? Its going to blow up so hard in their faces because Mamdani is going to crush it so hard on the day of, the real story is going to be “Why were we giving Cuomo or Adams’ any air time whatsoever?”

Coffee.

there is no such thing as a vampire wombat

If MIT headlines were food we’d all be happy and fat.

The world if even 1% of MIT headlines were true:
