Yeah, I have no idea what the hell he's talking about either with respect to Mamdani, certainly nothing to suggest the major news outlets are 'losing their minds' over him anyway.

Most of the posts in this sub didn’t age well. Sweet summer children they were.

If any wants to join the group let me know.

You don't want me.
I bring no outdoor skills and would sell the land to developers.

So the big bill passed, good. All those idiots can reap what they sowed. Sorry you are screwed now but you asked for it

Goodbye, after school and summer school programs. This makes me especially angry.

The Regime does not want anyone but their sycophants, the rich, and their offspring to succeed.

They’ll probably find a way to send these kids to the fields, or some Gulag, when their free time and lack of opportunities lead them into despair and trouble.

The good news is the pace of societal collapse should be fairly rapid, allowing perhaps for a quick rebound. The bad news is the rest of everything.

Yes, this is my hope. Now that we see how easy it is for it to happen, maybe we can pull it back together better than before.

Guillotines aren't that hard to build.

While true, in the current state of America I think the wrong people might be the ones first in line to get beheaded...

I'm just relieved they removed Section 899 from it.

I'm more than a little surprised that the states have never had an omnibus bill before. There were all the rage in other countries for a while, including Canada, until it became clear that the population hated them and saw through the attempt to drive through unpopular policy. It's a sure way to kill re-election, and that's why they are not as used anymore.

Japanese social media has started calling him, Former President Donald Trump. Which is accurate, and hilarious. It started after Trump called their Prime Minister, Mr. Japan, and then stated that Japan will start paying an extra 25% tariff on cars. Still feeding his base misinformation on how tariffs work.

"We are waiting any moment now to get the jobs number for the month of June. The expectations call for the numbers to be up 95,000. Right now seeing the number -- actually, uh, showing a decline in jobs, uh, down 33,000, uh."

Those are bad numbers. The MSN and the GOP will claim they are great. Even though Biden pulled in 200k+ some months and had consistently good numbers that they claimed were somehow bad.

Government scientists and other employees lose access to Nature and probably eventually all other scientific journals..

https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/...subscriptions/

'When Nature news first reached out to the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—which is the top funding agency for biomedical research in the world—it appeared that its access to Nature journals was not on the chopping block. But, hours later, Andrew Nixon, the top spokesperson for the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which oversees the NIH, said: "All contracts with Springer Nature are terminated or no longer active. Precious taxpayer dollars should be [sic] not be used on unused subscriptions to junk science."

The move comes after HHS Secretary and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on a May 27 podcast that prestigious medical journals are "corrupt."

"We’re probably going to stop publishing in the Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and those other journals because they’re all corrupt," he said. He accused the journals collectively of being a "vessel for pharmaceutical propaganda." He went on to say that "unless these journals change dramatically," the federal government would "stop NIH scientists from publishing there" and create "in-house" journals instead.'

Shocking that a guy who doesn't understand how vaccines work also doesn't understand how science works.

It just keeps getting better and better, doesn’t it.
