Yikes!  This is a piping hot take.  One could argue, maybe Lincoln should have done such when barbarism like that was a mainstay.  Now, not so much.  Although I do believe liberals should strap up in case MAGAs want to get froggy.  This country will forever be on the back foot due to this rampant nonsense. 

I witnessed the saddest shit this morning that broke me to my core while traveling for work in Wisconsin.  I was eating breakfast and this guy starts chatting me up talking about standard things like how life is hard and that neither political party cares about us.  All were solid points and then he went off the rails...  He starting talking about how Biden caused all this and Trump is fixing the country trying to take care of the little guy.  He talked about not voting anymore since the 2020 election was stolen... I guess 2024 didn't happen?  He also threw a tidbit about how Trump is not starting any new wars.  Hello Venezuela...??? 

I sat in utter silence, nodding, and throwing the occasional, "that's crazy bro" because I didn't know what the guy would have done if I told him the truth about what I really thought about him.  We all probably live in our bubbles, but some of us are more informed than others.  I couldn't help but to feel absolutely sorry for this guy.  It's messed up but how will this country recover once this MAGA movement ends?  Are we going to be able to?  I know it's easy to resort to nihilism, but I need some people with a half-full perspective to provide some insight right now.

I did everything right and they indicted me...

I'll be honest, I rather Trump stop warring with cities and start acting like the President.  The way he acted yesterday was a good start.

I am really shocked at Trump.  The dementia must be advanced that he can pull a 180 like that.  He had to throw Elise Stefanik under the bus, and defend Mamdani multiple times against he's own stacked biased press pool.

I don't think many people had Trump's reaction like this on their bingo card.

I have to give you credit talking into the void of smooth minds as much you do.  These people will never give you objective examples of anything and you can't have objective conversations with people who don't even know what fucking facts are.  They literally sound like AI chat bots that are programmed to parrot everything that is heard from right wing media!

I work in the pharma industry.  Waiting for the shoe to drop on the long term side effects for those who use GLP-1's as a weight loss drug.  America is an obese country, it only makes sense the pharma industry would want more people on their drugs.  I just don't buy it as a long term solution for people's weight problems.  Even when you hit the weight, keeping that weight off is a chore in itself.  

The crazy thing is, people like Mamdani and Sanders are not even promoting true leftist policies.  The Overton window has shifted so much in this country, that people's perspective's are heavily skewed.

People are trained to believe that the government providing any type of relief for their citizens is some form of boogeyman.  It's really sad.  Take care of the citizens or there will be chaos and violence.  That's really the simplicity of it.  Your life might be good now but with a desperate populace, it won't be.

You are a legend only in your own mind.  The fact that you believe that shows you have a lot to learn.

Yall are going to be realllllll salty. =)  I doubt any of you will critique him justly anyway.  Kabuki theater activated.

I know deportations happened under previous administrations.  It was out of sight out of mind and probably by the book, I would assume.  People aren't against deportations, they are against the inhumane treatment.  All of these theatrics and cosplaying wanna be soldiers are out of pocket.  It's a matter of time before things escalate.  I imagine when some of the "federal" agents kill someone that belonged to the "wrong" group, it's game on.

@ABooksNightmare

 Listen, your rant is heard and I disagree with it.  That's all I have to say to you on the matter.

There are many variables that go into capping tennis.  You have to realize it's the end of the season and Fonseca just won a tournament last week.  Freshness is a factor when the matchups are quite even.

@ABooksNightmare

We are not suppose to be like other countries.  There should be decorum and respect for dealing with situations like this as a result.  I live in a pearly white ass suburb.  The wine moms are out in force trying to scrap with ICE.

@artuk99

 GL on your bet.  Degenerate or not.

Geez man... these ICE agents are running amok in my city right now.  I hear the whistles, yelling and everything daily.  It's absolutely brutal.  I am thankful I haven't had any direct interaction with them yet.

@newmarket

Which pitching matchup from hear on out favors the Jays?

This is anecdotal.  I understand his perspective on empathy for people who commit crime, but he has a duty to protect the citizens he serves from repeat offenders no doubt.  So throwing criminals in jail is a starter according to you.  There are many urban US cities that throw criminals in jail and don't share this mayor's perspective on that matter.

Let's go with more in-depth analysis of the failed "liberal" policies and what you personally would replace them with.  For me, urban cities should invest tax money into  low economic areas to find ways to bolster economic growth.  Opportunities lower crime and will break the cycle of hopelessness.
