MAGA Pitches a Fit Over Online Reaction to Luigi Mangione
  • Honestly, I think about the only outcome would be that the C-suites, the billionaire class and their apparatchiks just step up security. It's not like murdering a handful of C-suite types or even their billionaire overlords will change anything. They'll just swap in a new person that is just as willing to fuck everyone over. The billionaire overlords will just pass that money on to their foundation/offspring.

    I think elmo already has a lot of security, yes? And remember how much he whined and threatened the guy that was just posting public data about elmo's jet location?

  • I think donvict supporters can be expected to pitching a fit over a lot of things, if the 2016 result was any indication. They got even more angry after their "win".

    I think nothing will make that type happy, TBH, but I think what really got to them was that not everyone started treating them like they were special or something. If anything, people treated them even worse - tried to avoid them, cut them out of their lives, etc....

  • They cannot stand the idea that people they hate might benefit, too.

    I bet if they could find some way of justification via other means, for instance, over arguments of "socialism" vs. "capitalism", they would find ways to make sure POC, liberals, women, gays, etc., do not benefit from the current system as well.

    Of course, they really pine for someone - maybe donvict - that will let them do it out in the open, w/o the facade of "socialism" vs. "capitalism".

  • Donald Trump says he can’t guarantee tariffs won’t raise US prices,
  • I'm sure going through his enemies list and raising taxes on virtually every single item most Americans purchase is going to improve the prices of eggs, I guess?

    Gonna keep that Samuel L. Jackson clip ready for all the FAFO idiots that voted for this shit: "Yes you did! YES. YOU. DID!"

  • www.denverpost.com Donald Trump says he can’t guarantee tariffs won’t raise US prices,

    Donald Trump said he can’t guarantee that his promised tariffs on key U.S. foreign trade partners won’t raise prices for American consumers and he suggested once more that some political rivals and federal officials who pursued legal cases against him should be imprisoned.

    Trump demands Republicans ‘kill’ bill that would protect journalists from government spying
  • They don’t even try to use their fucking brains when considering how fascist his policies are they just go with it

    But it is what they want. They want the fascism.

  • Trump Just Used A Photo Of Jill Biden To Hawk His New Line Of Cologne—And Yes, It's As Gross As You Imagine
  • Wow, donvict and his supporters that cheer on this kind of thing - what sad, broken people.

  • How Peter Thiel’s network of right-wing techies is infiltrating Donald Trump’s White House
  • Is this the same set of people called the Paypal Mafia?

    That expression may start to carry an entire new meaning under donvict...

  • New Florida sex education curriculum excludes almost all information about sex
  • Sounds very on-brand.

    Isn't this Florida, where apparently things like evolution still need to be "debated", LOL?

  • The slippery appeal of RFK Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again movement
  • Collectively, this kind of thing almost feels like a horror movie where people watching are telling the people on-screen, "don't go in the basement!"

    That is how it feels to have any kind of clue and watch what the magabrainz are voting for. A dipshit that was a gameshow host and did a piss poor job the first time is now putting a clueless dumbass in charge of health. Meanwhile, things like avian flu and super resistant bacteria lurk around...

  • Even the Koch Brothers Weren’t This Brazen | Tech billionaires such as Jeff Bezos and Marc Andreessen aren’t even trying to mask their politics anymore.
  • What I'd like to know is was Andreesen always this much of an asshole?

    I knew he went VC and figured he was at least kinda douchey, but I didn't follow his arc since the 90s where most of us just knew him as the guy that worked on Mosaic and founded Netscape...

  • Inflation in the U.S. remains stuck, and Trump's economic plans are only adding to the uncertainty
  • Yeah, just wait until donvict adds some more taxes on top of the "inflation". Taxes from his tariffs - which are straight up taxes. And the inherent tax that will come from his deportation plans.

    All of this will be something that hits the poor and middle class. Meanwhile, I'm sure more giveaways are planned for the broligarchs that surround donvict. As opposed to what should be happening, which is taxing anyone with assets above a billion such that they are "merely" millionaires.

  • MAGA Pitches a Fit Over Online Reaction to Luigi Mangione
  • Even if he is, the right wing noise machine is trying to get out ahead of this. They don't want their base which is very prone to violence getting any ideas about who is really actively harming them (and it isn't POC, it isn't trans, it's not the left, it's not women...).

  • rape good, murder bad!

    Well, unless someone they don't like is murdered in prison, because that's just justice...

  • MAGA Pitches a Fit Over Online Reaction to Luigi Mangione
  • “His ‘lived experience’ is about to be punctuated by 3 squares a day and a fear of showering.

    It's interesting how many still casually "joke" about prison rape in this country. At least when it comes to male rape.

    If he’s not gonna get the death penalty, maybe someone will do him justice behind bars

    This kind of pairs with the rape stuff. There are an awful lot of very gross people that wish for rape AND murder to happen in prison. The idea of our system supposedly being about corrections is a complete farce as long as so many people like that are among us....

  • MAGA Pitches a Fit Over Online Reaction to Luigi Mangione
  • This guy seemed a little iffy in his background - I would think quite a few of the right are celebrating this guy. It would make sense the elitists are trying to pacify that bunch, and try to paint this guy as some kind of leftist, though...they probably don't want the base that has been groomed for violence to suddenly get ideas about a mass movement of vigilantes like this guy stalking and killing the billionaire class.

  • The damage Trump’s Cabinet picks could do to communities of color
  • Um, isn't damaging communities of color a major goal of donvict and his rabid base?

  • Despite Trump Assurances on Sunday, DOGE Heads Musk and Ramaswamy Signal Social Security Cuts Are Coming
  • Oh, and one other comment is this - Democrats tend to understand how tariffs work. They also probably have some inkling about what would happen to the economy under mass deportations and the related state terrorism that would entail...

    Qons, on the other hand, are told ridiculous fairy tales about the price of eggs, and believe them.

  • Elon Musk signifies he'll go beyond supporting Trump to serve as his political enforcer
  • Remember how he bought xitter to "save the town square" and because "freezed peach" and "omg, the poor widdle qons who were being 'cancelled'"...

    Gosh, I wonder how he'll be using that Nazi platform to these ends...
