Kyle Rittenhouse keeps bragging about how he's going to be attending different colleges, and each time (we're now up to 2 or 3 colleges), those colleges have publicly stated that he's lying and was *not* accepted. Bro, just because you can shoot people doesn't mean you get a free ticket to any university you want.

https://www.levernews.com/biden-hikes-medicare-prices-and-funnels-profits-to-private-insurers/

Good article on the how the corporate needs to be taken out of politics so its no longer pay to play. This article is regarding Biden, the insurance companies, and medicare.

I'm not sure a big medicare hike is going to help at all in the midterms among other things.

Once more reaffirming that the ACA was a boon meant for insurance companies, not for people.
Incremental change is the Democrat version of Trickle Down economics.

I guarantee their first priority when it came to designing the ACA was to benefit insurance companies, any benefit to the citizenry of the US was entirely coincidental. Thats how it works in the US, power does things to benefit power, if it benefits anyone else its not because they made any effort to benefit them.

Well, corporations are people too, didn't you hear? It's what they tell themselves to make it sound better. They literally have to project humanity onto their naked power structures in order to say it has any humanity at all.

Or, perhaps that's the most human thing of all. Take whatever you can, fuck everyone else and everything else. The only thing that matters is your future, make it as good as you can at the expense of the future of America, and our entire race. Burn it all down to enjoy a bit of warmth and a show. What the ashes used to be doesn't matter.

attitude balances out to the greatest good.

I find that perspective from capitalists basically hopelessly lost, and avowed capitalist Democrats like Biden not far behind.

Definitely the most Capitalist thing of all. I'm trying to imagine a scenario where that attitude doesn't just continue to swallow everything in the US, but with all the forces at play both now, and going into the midterms, it feels pretty lost in general. Republicans are going to continue destroying everything and Democrats are going to put up an anemic fight because they don't actually want to stop them.

Its not even entirely that attitude imo, its the appeasement mentality that acknowledges some flaws but refuses to believe we can do anything better, That tacit acceptance that capitalism is the best humanity can do and to do anything else is pointless at best.

Shit, I was surprised A&M didn't give him a scholarship right after the shooting, considering the school's history.

San Francisco is a product of primarily third way Democrats with a sprinkle of progressives/social liberals (the recalled DA is a social liberal/progressive). SF is a lot of things, but an example of "commie twitter run amuck" (despite Republican billionaires and superPACs pushing this kind of message) isn't one of them.

Speaking of complete shitshows how many times did San Francisco's power grid fail for days in the past few years and then the shit show decided to not do anything about this?

Yeah, CA is what you get when you give Democrats full control, not universal healthcare or any number of good things just shitty exploitative rainbow capitalism.

Like, remembering Texas’ privatized power grid failure and how stupid it is to let utilities be in the hands of investors, California has a similar situation of their gas and electric utility being in the hands of fucking investors.

https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/11/california-power-shutoffs-when-your-public-utility-is-owned-by-private-investors

California is a prime example of why Democrats absolutely do not care about you and absolutely do not have the interests of anyone but their corporate daddies at heart.

A prime example of why Manchin and Sinema aren’t the only problems, because no number of Democrats in Congress would pass legislation that their donors didn’t greenlight.

People in power keep at it and one day they might face the same fate as scores of innocent helpless children.

The more they do and the worse things get the more they push the US to a point where one of these people are going to make real contact. Or theyll just give all politicians mega-armed security. That ones probably more likely. McConnell has already called for it, I wouldnt be surprised to see a bill passed today giving the Supreme Court lots of security and for Congress to be next in line for heavy guard in the eventual future.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/man-arrested-supreme-court-justice-kavanaughs-home-allegedly/story?id=85259333&cid=social_twitter_abcn

An armed man was arrested near Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's Maryland home after allegedly making threats against Kavanaugh, according to a Supreme Court spokesperson.

The man was arrested at about 1:50 a.m. Wednesday and taken into custody in Montgomery County.

The suspect's name has not been released but a law enforcement official told ABC News that he is from California.

Montgomery County police said the case has been transferred to the FBI.

The Department of Homeland Security warned in May that there could be threats against Supreme Court justices over the leaked draft of the Roe v. Wade decision.
