[06:33] darwin Bush 2 funded religious 'charity' which is unconstitutional but not really against someone (other than who doesn't get funding). Trump historically didn't talk about religion and was more aligned with his party's secular/atheist wing than the religious. He didn't put his hand on the Bible, though he said he's Christian (no more details) then sold Bibles for money [06:33] MinceR "what's our number one selling point? fuck if i know, doesn't matter. let's just send this sucker to the presses already." [06:34] darwin i think you're belittling the suffering of homeless people who die from tempreatures, starvation, lack of healthcare. Republicans also said 'let them die' because they don't want big government social programs [06:34] MinceR "historically" as in when he was with the "democrats"?

That's never been the case in USA, as we never had socialism. Most/all Europe did, so most/any party there from moderate to nazi aren't saying they'll do things like cut healthcare (because everyone has it and would vote them out)... they [06:47] darwin might increase private healthcare or do some contracting or reduction of public, but if they got rid of it there'd be riots. Americans aren't rioting over cuts to social programs (though they should) because they generally want government to be small and not bother them. It's not just a Republican Party thing, but in 4/5 top Parties (Republican, Libertarian, Constitution, some Democrats, but not Green except they want decentralization, not [06:47] darwin cutting agencies/programs) [06:48] darwin well, with the exception European far-right would cut it for people they don't want there, and send them away [06:49] *agentcasey_ has quit (connection closed) [06:49] *agentcasey_ (~agentcasey@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights [06:49] IsambardPrince It would be nice if the blowback from voting the way you do only landed on the people that voted for it.

Only others in his party did [06:50] IsambardPrince He said that to get elected. [06:50] IsambardPrince I don't believe him.

[06:51] IsambardPrince There's definitely those that want to, but there's also those who want to stay in Congress. [06:51] IsambardPrince My guess is they'll go after cuts that Americans tend not to care about first. [06:52] IsambardPrince Like not paying UN dues, stopping foreign aid, and so on.

[21:51] IsambardPrince Strangles girlfriend, gets Trump pardon. ● Jan 22 [22:09] IsambardPrince It is good to see Trump saying that if Putin doesn't end the war the US will go much further with the sanctions than Biden did. [22:09] IsambardPrince Biden left a lot of Soviet era rusted uninsured tankers hauling the Russian oil. [22:10] IsambardPrince And that disaster in the Kerch Strait was the result of desparation on the part of the Russians to keep the oil shipping even if they had to use cargo ships that were not seaworthy.

[22:12] IsambardPrince And Biden wasn't going to do anything about that. [22:13] IsambardPrince The CEO says the plant will reopen and call back the workers now that he realizes that the alternative is tariffs. [22:13] IsambardPrince "GOP Sen. Kennedy defends Trump's move against federal DEI employees, as Democratic Sen. Kaine calls it cruel" [22:14] IsambardPrince Well, if you reclassify DEI employees and ban "DEI", they brag about doing it anyway and calling it something else. [22:14] IsambardPrince So the executive order says they're all on unpaid furlough beginning today. [22:14] IsambardPrince And OPM will question people on whether there were any euphemisms being used and find out if anyone was burrowed into agencies with a different job title. [22:16] IsambardPrince "Homan stated that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement was concentrating on the worst first, elaborating that the worst meant public safety and national security threats. [22:16] IsambardPrince He said that total arrests along the US-Mexico border were around 766 over the past two days, with ICE arresting about 308 serious criminals in the past 24 hours.

[22:18] IsambardPrince And they figured that if they helped us and lost, we'd evacuate them. And we didn't. [22:18] nobody almost all those cases had something in common, requests of asylum seekers were denied and public institutions had been fully aware of the threats in advance [22:19] MinceR once the afd+cfu coalition wins, they can start hunting down and murdering everyone whose skin is too dark.
