Fuentes is a terrible human being, and grown men understand that.
I have a feeling that his following will mostly grow up and move on.

I'm not on the fire Grubb train necessarily, but I wouldnt think twice about pulling a "Mama called" with Rob Ezell.

DeSantis almost gets to the heart of the problem here but misses it completely.
The framers of our government did their best to limit power as they knew it, which was overwhelmingly the government at the time. They were aware of the power of wealth, but mercantilism was something very much in the past and not a real concern.
The reality is that in modern times, power is not held by the government, its held by those with money. The government was well designed to be flexible on checking power, so there is framework in place to check corprorations, but that neccesitates voters acting in their own interests. The thing about corporations is that they have invested massive amounts of resources over the past 100+ years to make people hate the government and treat it like an entity.
It is not an entity. It is a tool. Our tool, to check power. But we have generations of people taught to hate that tool, on behalf of the wealthy. After republicans concocted their plan to ram Citizens United through the Supreme Court, we ended up with a system where corporations (and foreign interests) have unlimited ability to influence our politics, which they obviously use to prioritize their well being over our citizens.
Both parties rely on these funds, so no one can challenge them and, even if they could, half the the country (republicans) is willing to go to war to protect and preserve this system.
Its disgusting, inherently anti-patriotic and contributes to almost every significant issue we face today. An absolute slap in the face to system our founding fathers built, but its wrapped in a fricking American flag made in China so people think its patriotic.
Its not about unleashing the free market. That is utopian anarchy that leads to corporate feudalism. DeSantis cant see the forest for the trees. Its about using our tool, the government, to limit the consolidation of power like our founders intended.

I was literally in fricking tears laughing at what an absolute moment of dumbassery that was.
Even years later, I celebrate its anniversary as the dumbest fricking moment in politics this millennia.
There have been a lot of moments where I just havent been able to understand why this didnt end immediately, and that certainly is a top 5.
Amateur hour :lol:

Lol, so there's actually a DIFFERENT Dana White, she has worked for the Heritage Foundation, Fox, and was Republican House press secretary.
Odds are 1000% that President Dumbass heard her name and immediately thought "hey the head of the UFC is a great choice to be the mouthpiece of the American Government let's do that" and it all spiraled from there.

Democrats are such terrible money managers
Republicans are economically illiterate. This idea that yall are the only ones who understand economics despite not a single one of you ever opening a fricking econ journal is so hilarious.
I mean just look around. What has republican economic leadership produced?
On the national level it has created nothing but economic hardship and our worst financial crashes in our history. The last president that balanced the budget was a Dem.
Look at the states. Yall, at best can claim two states. Texas and Florida. Texas just went blue, but I'll give it to yall since it has had predominantly republican leadership for decades. Florida yall got but its only been so successful because of the decades of democratic leadership before it swung into a red stronghold.
So you really only got one, you dont have it any more and it only has done so well because of the tremendous amount of resources it has.
Other than that, every single red state is a failed federal deficit state.
Rich people vote R because the Rs give them tremendous power and money. You guys worship them so you think their prefences are good overall, but they are really only good for themselves and absolutely terrible for the average American.
If you took two seconds to look around, its painfully obvious that the Dems are the only ones who are capable of creating functioning economies.

Voter rolls were cleaned up
They weren't cleaned up. They outsourced their data to a credit reporting company and, to no one's surprise, it was filled with errors. So a bunch of people had to cast provisional ballots but the labor is on the voters to prove their records so you have to give them a few days to do that.

Texas governor is actually pretty weak overall. Lt. Gov is arguably a bigger deal.
Dont matter because they all went blue but it should be noted.

If a country can be brought to its knees because of this, it is not a country
The strength of a state is measured by its ability to transfer power. By definition, attacking the Capitol and threatening to hang the Vice President all in an attempt to block the transfer of power created a situation where the strength of our state was the weakest in history.

Republicans are easily the largest demographic of pussies in the country.
A) the border isnt open and never has been
B) Open borders is actually a conservative position. Hell, the godfather of conservative economics, Adam Smith argued that labor is a resource that should not be interfered with and that labor choosing to move to your country just means you won capitalism. And he was totally correct, you wont find a single peer reviewed economics study that says anything other than "immigration is a net economic plus"
C) Immigrants arent getting rich off your paycheck, thats just an insane thing to think. Probably has something to do with the rich convincing the poor to hate people that breathe differently so that we dont rise together and stop them from sucking our wealth into off shore bank accounts.

Trump is a fricking idiot who relied on voters also being fricking idiots.
That is a successful strategy until you actually do things, and since youre a fricking idiot, the things you do are awful.
He doesnt give a frick about it though. By far the most corrupt admin in American history. He fleeced all the old people on this site like a Nigerian prince and they are still gonna pray to him every night before bed.
