  • The shit that people seem to forget, is that he inherited a broken US government. Entire departments were missing paper trails, documents, and people. Most of his 4 years was spent undoing the damage from Mango Mussolini 1.0 by building a cabinet of competency to go fix things.

    Was it glamorous? No. Did the shit democrat party do a single thing to point any of this out? No. Has Mango 2.0 had any success finding this alleged “fraud, waste, and abuse”? Nope. (In fact, after applying the necessary double-speak filter, FWA is what Mango 2.0 is doing.)

    Should he have run again? No, he should have honored his original decision not to, and dems should have spent those 4 years fleshing out a proper young candidate.

    Why people jump to negative shit so fast, one can only attribute to the negative energy broadcasts from the Mango and the Party of Evil. No decent human should feel it necessary to be a jackass.

    Channel that negative energy at those actually harming humans, and everyone’s entire existence, like Mango, Muskrat, that yahoo running Israel, and Putein. Oh, and towards educating those narrow-minded people that abstained their votes rather than try to protect their own country from harm. Better yet, get positive and help.











  • The modern them actually has an app that lets you build out recipes and/or scan barcodes to track what you eat, they use a distilled version of nutrition called “points” and you’re allocated Y points a day to try stay in your food budget.

    I think their older system was also points based just not software.

    The app has training content and some kind of social community (that people say is quite terrible apparently because of the other users).

    It isn’t a bad concept, and helps one understand that a slice of pizza is insanely unhealthy if one didn’t already know that.

    Where it falls apart is their skeezy subscription model. Best time to sign up is around New Years, if you do bulk pricing you get a discount for the year, if you sign up partly through the year, that discount only lasts 10, 8, 7 months, however many are left. If you want to get a better rate, even their customer service says to just cancel and then sign back up after you’re canceled. If they had honest flat-rate pricing and curated their social space/education material better, they’d likely have had something to offer…Instead, like most health tracking/exercise/apps that cost money, it’s difficult to manage, expensive, and abrasive to cancel.

    Like so many businesses that went “app” - they didn’t embrace a usable and sustainable model that fit on a digital platform, and instead basically phoned it in.


  • Geopolitics isn’t so one-dimensional. The US has long-standing agreements with Israel for intelligence, tech, and weapons in the middle east, like it or not. That can’t just be unraveled at the drop of a hat without risking planetary stability.

    Should the US not have put themselves in such a position in the 1950s? 100%. Should they have been more aggressive and quick on doing anything when the genocide started? Probably.

    It wasn’t “the democrats” or “the republicans.” It was the US Federal Government as a whole. Choosing or abstaining a vote for a candidate solely on world events outside the US wouldn’t have fixed that in any universe.

    Reality can’t be governed by aspiration, well, actually, I guess it can, because a bunch of idiots decided to hold back their vote that could have saved their own damn country, and look where the US is now, and now is only the beginning.

    “Oh, I know, I don’t like that my current Federal Government isn’t being proactive world police in other countries even though I call out my nation for being proactive world police in other countries, so I’ll show them by not voting for a Presidential candidate. They’ll get my message…What do you mean a Genocidal Fascist Satan crew will win if I don’t vote? They’ll get my message! That’s unpossible! I couldn’t possibly be taking an action that will accelerate their genocide and lead to more genocide right in my home town?!

    Maybe too many people live in the world in their head instead of reality.




  • but they also don’t have the right to hinder the feds from enforcing their own laws

    The Feds aren’t following their own laws. They’re doing whatever they please without warrants, breaking into vehicles and abducting people, which is not allowed by their own laws. They’re breaking into homes without warrants and stealing peoples’ property, money, and people, which is against their own laws. They ignore court orders if they don’t want to follow them. The Gestapo is doing whatever it wants, ignoring the law.

    So, in turn, their Federal laws are meaningless to states and the citizens of those states.



  • “I need to save Tesla stock so I’ll just lie long enough for people to forget.”

    Pretty funny/terrible that there is so much news about all these turds (probably by design) that it becomes exceedingly difficult to search to fact-check older things and bring up previous articles one remembers. Even AI has problems parsing the searches. It is like 1984’s information-deletion theme isn’t even needed. You just create enough noise that the signal gets lost.

    Re-found this info though to float it back up to the top: https://www.irishstar.com/news/us-news/elon-musks-political-shift-family-34222327

    Discussing with MailOnline, Errol conveyed his satisfaction at observing Elon own up to his background, stating: “I think for the first time Elon was accepting who he is. Until recently, he’s been a sort of character on a stage.” He then added his thoughts on his sons’ initial political trajectories saying, “When you come from South Africa, Lefties think you’re a Nazi. To succeed, you need to be accepted by them so my sons, [Elon and younger brother Kimbal, a hugely successful restaurateur], started to become these flaming liberals – turning away from South Africa and their roots, which included me. Finally, Elon was embracing his heritage and his destiny,” reported the Mirror.

    Of course, “South Africa and their roots” == Apartheid, white nationalism, and all the usual stuff leading up to Fascism and Godwin’s law.
