The fact that there’s even a whiff of Kamala running again is great evidence that we are so fucked and will continue to be so fucked.

2·4 days agoYes, you are right. I meant my comment more generally about housing but should have made that clear.

14·5 days agoSigh. I don’t care anymore. I don’t even want to hear what laws it breaks, what mandates it breaks, whatever. I don’t what to hear who is on blast, and I don’t want to hear who is on notice.
There. Are. Never. Any. Consequences.
All of this has become the theater of the absurd.

4·5 days agoHousing is a necessity for everyone. It should not be some rich boomer’s “investment opportunity”.

8·5 days agoBecause there are no consequences for anything anymore. At least not for the rich.
The writing was on the wall long before a convicted felon was allowed back into the Oval Office.

politics @lemmy.world•Tucker Carlson Says Trump Has ‘Diminished American Power’ in ‘Unimaginable’ Ways
7·5 days agoThe Right hates this guy now. But for the life of me, I can’t figure out why. He was the absolute poster child. “I’m just asking questions” (where you ask completely unfounded questions in an effort to shift discourse where it doesn’t need to go) is a cornerstone of MAGA “thought”.
…except that saying anything against the MAGA cult leader gets you a permaban. And thus, Tucker is out.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump Can’t Be on Both Sides of IRS Settlement, Democrats Say
31·7 days agoPlaying by the rules went away a loooooong time ago. At this point the Dems just look silly for even bringing it up.

news@lemmings.world•Top government lawyer resigns as outrage mounts over Trump’s ‘slush fund’ of $1.7B for alliesEnglish
6·7 days agoOutrage mounts for some, but not for all. Just check comments sections on conservative outlets. People are cheering this slush fund as a win.
The GOP has spent the better part of 100 years convincing its base to vote against and put support against their own interests. That drive is now literally paying dividends.

politics @lemmy.world•When Will Americans Realize the Truth? Republicans Wreck the Economy.
28·8 days agoIt’s not even the wrecking of the economy that really gets to me about this latest Republican administration. That’s a pattern for sure, but this admin grifts right off the top, in plain sight. The Trump phones, the ballrooms, the sweetheart deals for friends, the IRS decision that puts taxpayer funds directly into the President’s pocket.
I can’t think of another admin that has so openly stolen from US citizens.

Remember when him not releasing his tax forms was a big deal? And remember when there was so much other bullshit in rapid succession that everyone stopped talking about it?
He may be a monster, but unfortunately he isn’t stupid. This was the end game.
How can we fix it? I don’t think we do. The lack of consequences then has become a lack of consequences in perpetuity.
