  • Older than 20 years means the range 20 years to death. Which considering there are like 60M people over the age of 65 alone, and heart disease has been the biggest killer of Americans for decades, this isn’t surprising in the least.

    We’ve done nothing to fix the healthcare system or the food system(s). Which both absolutely have to be socialized at least to the degree that everyone can have access to the same care and nutrition. They even quote a doctor who basically says this without saying it. Doctors, etc. can’t say socialize or nationalize else Ted Cruz will have a heart attack on the spot and Fox News won’t shut the fuck up for 4 years straight. (They still should say it though)

    “We need to address worsening trends in heart failure, not only through medical interventions and properly implemented guideline-directed medical therapy, but by tackling the growing challenges in health care regarding access and coverage for appropriate and timely care,” Bozkurt said in a statement.

    Emphasis mine in the quoted portion.

    “I dunno Doc, sounding a bit commie there. What, do you want to just give poor people free medical care, nutritional information, and food so that they know how to avoid unhealthy foods and lifestyles and also can avoid them? Pfft. Sounds kinda commie! Next you’ll be suggesting people deserve the value they create and deserve time to rest instead of working their whole lives! Pfft! Oh wow, how convenient now you say overwork and stress also harm heart health!? Oh wow!”


  • I can only think of a solid like 3 times I’ve watched clips from TYT that weren’t just Ana focused. One was when Hasan said America deserved a specific event. And probably some other stuff.

    Cenk’s reactionary viewpoints are different from what I’ve see. Like he hates homeless people and loves cops. Complains about other shit that right wingers have dragged into “political” discussions (things that shouldn’t be up for debate.).

    I just know Ana has been on a bridge-burning expedition to the far right for years now and while Cenk definitely agrees on some stuff, he doesn’t come off as gung ho “this is my hill. I will die here.” His hill is “homeless people are homeless because they’re morally bad and should be rounded up and… not shot! No, no not that!” Even though that’s clearly something he leans towards but knows he can’t just say it or people will realize how shitty his pro-police, anti-people policy ideas are.

    Maybe he doesn’t touch trans issues (much) because Ana has it nailed down for the show or because he’s uncomfortable, but she certainly doesn’t feel any discomfort. Just keeps blabbing for years too, nonstop, over the perceived grievance of allegedly someone one time calling her a “birthing person” in a medical context. She took that shit personal… for no apparent reason other than stirring up unnecessary shit. Even got Ben Shabibo to make a video about the terminology. Ben “my mommy I mean wife is a doctor” Shapiro ranting about medical terminology… peak irony, peak idiocracy, who knows anymore





  • The Samson option is a “last ditch effort” thing where if the Israeli military thinks defeat is imminent and inevitable they’ll basically commit mass murder/suicide. And part of it was (allegedly) aiming nukes at Europe. If they’re willing to hit Europe, there’s no barriers left. And if Israel does launch a nuke, there’s a significantly real chance that Israel itself will be totally leveled by… who knows at that point.

    Not to mention China, Russia… the entire world… is gonna be “wtfing” to the highest degree possible. Like if there’s fucking ICBMs flying, well, this is literally the plot of a ton of end of the world books/movies for a reason. Shit happens, “accidents” happen, and it’s part of why every country on earth (minus the nukes on Japan when only the US had them, ICBMs hadn’t become a thing, and the whole Mutually Assured Destruction concept hadn’t come around yet) has been very “No nukes! Not for any purpose!” all throughout until today. Like everyone understands it’s doomsday shit. Not to do that thing people do where everything is the end of the world, but nukes launching basically in any context deserves the realistic acknowledgment.

    And of course this is all framed from a self-preservation standpoint because I want to emphasize how out of touch, insane, frankly stupid and evil the top leaders are in Israel and US (EU too- don’t hear them condemning all this shit).

    My point is Bibi won’t be needing more weapons at the point he chooses to launch nukes. It means he already lost, he’s just throwing wildly, knowing he is surely doomed and probably his entire nation and he would be trying to take us all with him. Or at least Iran.

    I believe that’s what Hersh outlined a long time ago.

    When he wrote that shit and pretty much up until about 10 months I would’ve said “Ok, bro. Calm down.”

    The last ~35 years of pure Zionist brainrot have resulted in a situation where I’m like "Yeah… I sure hope the dumbasses in NATO and USSTRATCOM already knew about or took seriously his claims and have a “reverse” Samson option ready to trigger… well, right about now to be honest.

    Of course the actual reversal would have some sort of forced denuclearization of Israel right around the time Ukraine was denuclearized. I’m kind of a believer in “If anyone has nukes, everyone should have nukes” with a caveat of “but ideally no one should have nukes.” The US, Russia, EU nations, UK, China, DPRK, etc. are obviously all never willingly self-denuclearizing, so, back to step 1.

    Anyway, if the US military has any juice left in the lemon of “intelligence” unsqueezed, it will already be preparing preliminary strikes inside Israel to fully destroy their nuclear capabilities. If there’s any country on earth that can pull that off it’s basically the US due to full collaboration between the state departments and militaries. China and some EU combined forces might be able to do so purely militarily, but I’d assume only the US has the exact locations and numbers of every single nuclear weapon in the Israeli arsenal for the purposes of crippling all of their launch capabilities.

    But with Joe RottingCorpse Biden in charge… literally none of that will be happening. This is like the one time the US military should be using all of its intelligence and might to do a shitload of simultaneous strikes all over Israel to cripple its nuclear capabilities… and it will absolutely never happen.

    Also, why wouldn’t dumbass Bibi just sling a couple warheads at like DC or NYC while he’s doing the thing? Is the USAF so confident it can take out incoming ICBMs in real time? (It almost assuredly cannot. If they had that tech they’d be gloating over towards China and Russia daily).

    This situation has been resolved before in South Africa. It’s just crazy to think how fucking insane the Israelis are and how apparently nonchalant or unmoved the US/EU is towards their blatant aggression far beyond all boundaries. These dumbass boomers and/or ideological Nazis are so fucking hellbent on having their third reich in the Middle East that they would rather die than ever get rid of the current Hitler.

    Hasan was saying the other day that Eric (or Erik) Adams loosely translates to “plum man” from Turkish to English

    So I guess the password is like “Turkish people” (I speak zero Turkish, so, just guessing)

    Anyway, it is absolutely hilarious that his name can be translated like that


  • Not really. That may be what the west/Israel cope into believing, but Hezbollah is sort of de facto the Lebanese military. Israel/US can say anything they like to justify baby murder and illegal invasions, but remember that any time the US/Israel is designating any person or group as a terrorist, officially, it simply translates to “They oppose us. We hate that. We unilaterally declare killing them very legal and good. If you question this, then, you are [group/person]”

    Basically I’m saying if you understand the truth of the situation, that Israel are the terrorists in reality, and the biggest terrorist group on earth, the USA, backs them apparently to no end, then every excuse and reason they use for actions they take is immediately suspect if not just discarded immediately. I personally try to parse their bullshit. Even liars tell truths from time to time. But if you just assume everything the US or Israel ever says, ever, is a lie or bad faith misrepresentation then you’d be correct like 99% of the time.



  • They literally don’t understand basic logic and lack anything resembling morality.

    If you vote for the person killing any number of babies you still voted to kill babies.

    The only moral answer here is to choose neither. Or, I guess people are voting third party to message their refusal. Same thing ultimately.

    Democrats aren’t going to “learn a lesson” btw. They didn’t “learn” from Obama’s hard right wing turn post 2008 victory, or 2016/2020 fucking the popular candidate (Bernie). They didn’t learn from Bill Clinton or Carter being sacks of shit that just perpetuated and actually increased the evil of the system.

    There’s nothing for them to learn. There have never been two candidates in my memory who were more alike in policy than Kamala and Trump. Sure, Trump is mean, orange, annoying guy. Who cares. Their policies are all basically the same. Something Trump himself keeps pointing out.




  • I’m confused about the order of events here.

    The worst reading is you were drunk, your boss had you drive him home, and at some point he discovered evidence of you drinking in your car, presumably at work/on the way to work/whatever.

    The other (better) reading is you were drunk at work at some other time, today you had to drive your boss home, and he found gin in your car which he took as evidence you are still drinking at work, possibly even while driving. Although alcohol is legal and the mere presence of it in a private vehicle doesn’t mean anything illegal or against work rules occurred. Which is why I assume this was a follow up event to the first statement. I’m probably reading too much into it



  • We knew this dingus was corrupt for his entire time as mayor… the fact it took this long to do anything. It’s also for the dumbest shit he did. How about bust his skull like he told the NYPD to bust skulls of college students… Kinda fucked Joe did his this way after all that violence he did to support Joe’s foreign policies. I’d be snitching my ass off about Biden admin corruption if I were him. Maybe he doesn’t have anything though… mayors are pretty isolated from federal party shit


  • I can see a not-far-off future where republicans will absolutely cynically pursue charges against Biden, et al.

    Democrats will cry foul to the tune of “b-but we let George Bush do his Holocaust! No one went after him or Cheney or any of them! This isn’t fair!!!”

    And uh, you know, I don’t know how to feel about Hitler prosecuting Himmler for doing crimes they both agreed and still agree are fine and good. Perhaps this is lesser evil voting dems tell me about? I’m always in search of that elusive lesser evil.



  • Oh wow just one of ten billion suits the government should have been pursuing over a decade ago.

    The fact that these cowards are doing an antitrust suit and didn’t just blackbag the CEO and other high up officers in the company when their response to obviously being a monopoly (it’s quite literally just Visa and Mastercard and Visa is far bigger) was “pfft. No! Pfft. Look at all these competitors! Like Mastercard! And… did we mention Mastercard?”

    It’s like Microsoft or Apple trying to claim they don’t do monopolistic shit, that they don’t hold de facto monopolies in certain sectors, because “Well, there is literally one competitor! So technically just because we hold 95% of the market, that means we aren’t a monopoly!” No. That’s not how this works.

    Well, it does because 1) a ton of people who even see this stuff don’t care or very cuckedly (yeah, I’m making that up and using it) support it. And 2) this suit is being brought late in the year immediately before an election when the suit has been deserved since… at least 2008. At least. It’s just being thrown out to say “See? Eh? You see that one? We did something! What was the result of our lawsuit against Apple, a clear monopoly holder that charges $99/year to develop apps and locks customers from using their devices which should be the easiest slam dunk “you must allow root access” outcome ever? Stop asking! WE DID SOMETHING!”

    How about using just 0.1% of the energy they’ve been spending on college kids mad about genocide on any of these CEOs if only for personal grievance “fuck you!” reasons. Imagine being the USAG and Visa’s top attorney scoffs at you like that when they are absolutely obviously a monopoly. Even if you’re a massive paid shill, send that asshole to a blackhole just because, you know, you still can.
