Don't the Republicans have like only a one seat lead in the senate or something? That means some Dems voted for this.
Fetterman is a brain-damaged Republican with a D for douche next to his name, so that's one more in favor.
As a European, I find Ruthless Ben’s “Lego Scandal” videos quite revealing, because they illustrate very well—albeit on a smaller scale—just how utterly corrupt the U.S. system really is. It’s obviously the same on a larger scale, though the corruption and the outrageous injustice are carried out using the same utterly mindless methods—by truly mindless people whose only distinguishing feature is that they are so incredibly unscrupulous and selfish.
If you haven’t seen the Ben's Lego videos yet, check em out. They really do a great job of showing how the world works in the US.
Edit: Just to be clear: Some of Ben’s methods are certainly questionable, and some things are misrepresented for the sake of production value. Nevertheless, the videos are very compelling and entertaining, even though it’s frightening just how irreparably broken the U.S. system is.
yea it is a lot of tribalism and then corps leverage it for their gain
Well, I would say that it is an insurmountable systemic problem if the system allows—or rather, explicitly provides for—the idea that those who don’t have enough money are not entitled to justice. This contradicts the fundamental principle of any democratic state governed by the rule of law. And that is precisely the starting point of Ben’s videos: someone is clearly being robbed, but cannot defend themselves because they have less money than the criminal.
This fact alone shows how absurd the U.S. system is—and that’s just the beginning of the first video. Everything that follows is the reality of this system, which allows—or rather, makes it a logical consequence—that the U.S. president is the person he is.
This is not due to tribal affiliation or the like. It is the result of a constitution written by large landowners for a country where slavery was legal. By the way, in case you didn’t know: The U.S. Constitution is the hardest to amend of all the democratic countries in the world. That is why it is also the least-amended democratic constitution in the world. In other words: It continues to cement the conditions of 250 years ago to this day. What U.S. citizens are experiencing today is merely the consequence of that.
Added to this is just how corrupt the legal system and the executive branches are.
All in all, this results in a state of injustice, which should be perfectly obvious to everyone today. I mean, the U.S. president is obviously more of a mafia godfather than anything that could still be called a politician with a mandate to represent some interests, let alone the people.
This country is an oligarchy that has as little to do with democracy as Russia does.
Ben’s video demonstrates this in a way that should make it quite obvious to everyone. This is not the exception, it is the rule.
Define irony. An army of bigots violently detaining and often killing immigrants and then pretending to worship an immigrant every Sunday (presumedly)
Backwards ass motherfuckers.
It's all projection. They can't square their self image with the reality so they project it onto other people to sooth the cognitive dissonance. They're garbage people. Like in a deep, fundamental, way. They are bad at existing in a complicated world.
They don't have to live in fear.
They can die and make the world a better place 😇
“There’s no money to pay for that. That’s socialism. ”
There’s trillions of dollars of misappropriated funds between the billionaire class and the ruling class.
"They're the same class."
You mean the Epstein class.
Yall can find a $12 steak, where yall at 🤣
He means raw at the grocery store, not cooked at a restaurant.
Ribeye is like 19.99 a pound around these parts.
Wait until he can't even eat his steak because all of the livestock has been infected with screwworms due to deregulation ope.
Not even deregulation. we had a cheap efficient program that held screw worm out of north america. Basically we irradiated male grubs which sterilized them, then froze the fly's and dropped them over an area to prevent them from breeding and spreading.
This was cut because we were operating outside the US and why should other countries also benefit from our tax dollars.
The dumbass 'gubment bad' crew fucked us all.
Wait wait wait... That was really cut? I thought this was just them somehow making a comeback, I didn't know we actually cut the program that stopped them...
God I'm so fucking tired of living in the stupid timeline...
we had pushed them past Panama.
Yup, they got Elon's chainsaw...
I don't think they cut all of it, just most of it.
Cope lib. if i get infested with maggots again it no big deal. it a lot better than iran having nuke huh huh huh
Wow, amazing, thank you for that background I did read about it but didn't realize it was quite so simple, relatively speaking. I can't believe the short sightedness of these folks, it's unbelievable, it was probably a drop in the hat in the budget and now it's going to end up costing way way more than they saved, hopefully no one dies, poor animals though although I suppose they were set to be eaten anyways but still.
RFK calls that business as usual.
LOL, well does he seem to like worms, or worms like him.
Well, like my paw paw always said, parasitic worms that flock together ...
What a doozy.
70 billion to fund the most backward, violent, uneducated, and lazy portion of our society. They couldn't make it through college or even get a real beneficial blue collar job like welding or car mechanic work, so they just drive around in their cars and enact violence on others.
So, it's basically socialist UBI for the downtrodden, like almost all of the military.
They've been dreaming about doing this too, for some it's their dream job, how pathetic is that, what kind of a life is that? Preying on some of the most vulnerable people who also do so much for us, not only in the way of hard work but enriching America with more and more culture which IS WHAT makes America great, that mix. America without immigrants and indigenous peoples would be a bunch of fucking Quakers and nobody (mostly) wants that.
dude don't slander the quakers like that, they're cool. also i'm not sure where you think the quakers came from.
$12 steak? What steak are you buying?
Mcdoubles
Probably talking about per pound for chuck steak at the grocery store, not as a restaurant meal.
The kind that are aged on a road for a couple weeks, often pre-tenderized with a tire tread-like pattern.
cube steak dude
This is what I want to know
why is the steak so cheap?
It's not beefsteak. also no safety inspections, irradiation etc. buyer be ware. 'murica
