if you don't know the story

yesterday or day before he tweeted to her a bunch of crap, and she responded saying he had small dick energy. and her tweet got 3 million likes. the 11th most liked tweet ever so far.

then he got all mad and humiliated and responded with a video that had a romanian pizza box in it. so the romanian cops figured out from the video that he was in romania and they arrested him on human trafficking and rape charges

I had no idea who Andrew Tate is and having looked I'm not surprised.

LOL at being busted because you ate Romanian pizza. Idiot.

I'm super disappointed that the whole Tate arrested due to eating Romanian pizza was a hoax.

New in 2023 for California!

Starting Jan. 1, the Freedom to Walk Act officially becomes law, allowing pedestrians in California to jaywalk without fear of a ticket, as long as it's safe.
Jaywalking may now be legal but the penalty of death remains unchanged.

The speaker of the house circus is pretty amusing. So much pettiness. It would be pretty amazing if a non-member ended up as speaker (such as Fred Upton).

I can definitely see Gaetz/Boebert/Good et all sabotaging anything and everything right up to the point of even voting for Hakeem Jeffries tho.

Is this in relation to anything recent or just a general thought?

well i was reading tweets about how the squad failed to fight dem leadership when nancy pelosi was being elected speaker

i don't really know about this recent speakership vote, but i guess some right wing extremists stood up to republican leadership to fight for their causes?

compared to the supposed left extremist squad who didn't fight for anything during pelosi's speakership vote


but also thinking how little they have gotten done in general... like those riots in 2020 over police killings were huge. the whole world was protesting. and in america it was nuts. there was real movement to defund the police... and what happened? police killed more people last year than ever before. police budgets have increased.

there has always been a majority who wants healthcare. what happens with that? nothing

a majority wants peace. what happens with that? we are on the brink of world war 3

majority wants more wealth equality... etc etc

they just do nothing, and this is despite having so much power.

Pelosi’s lap dogs. They’re bought and paid for, just like all the other politicians.

Eh, there's legitimate reason to criticize them (a lot of their votes on the train strike were awful for example), but not here imo.

The right wing extremists knew that the Republicans would rather negotiate with them than with Democrats.

If members of the squad had pulled the same tactics that Gaetz/Boebert/etc had pulled, Democrats would have just made concessions to the more moderate Republicans.

Polls like this are completely meaningless imo.

it's not just polls... people want healthcare. almost all other countries have it. if there was a party and it had just a single issue of healthcare, it would probably win elections and take over the government... if it had an equal platform to spread the message.

i mean sure a lot of polls are meaningless, but it's not meaningless at all when the majority of people want things like healthcare, peace, equality, sustainable environment

i don't have specific answers for you of what the solution is. im a fairly ignorant person with terrible mental health lol

but fighting for healthcare seems like a no brainer. i mean really, genuinely fighting for it. and/or peace, financial equality, environment... these are all issues that have massive public support, and make the world a better place for everyone

i think ralph nader was the only politician in my lifetime to genuinely fight for these things on a national scale. i might be forgetting someone. and he didn't really have a voice. he was marginalized and mocked. but he came the closest iirc
