Conservative or liberal (politics)

[Jetflag]

I wish I could say something political about all this, but I’m just enjoying the drama and gossip like some old house-wife

Everyone knew, regardless of the political isle they're on, that these 4 years would at the very least be interresting

It's quite comical no doubt it will be swept under the carpet or they want people to talk about to get some attention and build some tension.

 

[Progrez]

Not sure if it's not fake or made up.

I'll call both of your bluffs and raise you 100 and let's not forget who gets custody of Kilmar Abrego Garcia now facing charges for smuggling, trafficking drugs and firearms?

Musk vs Trump is very amusing. I'm curious what will come of this.
I think it's more likely that Musk creates a third political party and sets up a puppet candidate.

... but the world's wave of right wing nationalism / populism won't be stopped. It's happening everywhere and will only grow.

genuinly wouldn't mind that. The GOP needs as much kick up its ass as the Dems do

Suspiciously quiet in this thread at the moment

Anyway:

President Trump signed several energy-related executive orders (EOs) on January 20, 2025, intended to boost U.S. oil and gas production and exports. These EOs declared a national energy emergency, aimed to “unleash America’s affordable and reliable energy and natural resources,” and lifted the Biden Administration’s restrictions on oil and gas production in Alaska. These energy-related EOs signal that the Trump Administration strongly favors and supports oil and gas production to strengthen the country’s energy independence.

Drops a load of bunker busters on Iran.

Well that would actually be the one " good" MAGA outcome out of all this, if that was his plan all along as that at the very least would benefit the US and its economy.

As for his involvement in the Israel/Iran conflict: The MOAB's are sort of in line with what he did in 2020 with Sullamani. Basically a quick drone/ air strike from a distance as a big slap on the wrist /quick display hegemonic stability theory, without any further military campaign..

If, howe er (and fortunately thats a big if right now) he decides to put boots on the ground then I personally hope he gets (succesfully) impeached or shot again, as he'll uncocoon himself as a defacto bush 2.0.

We shall see how the shiite slings from the fan.

I was asleep, lol

There's nothing that prevents Trump from doing this. Really, it's just bad optics - he campaigned on no wars, but now he's thrusting the US into a war that nobody wanted. If troops are deployed to Iran, Republicans won't be elected in 2028

speaking of bad optics:

uSTADIUM on Instagram: "A family in Israel went viral for making a song, “We bombed Iran, We bombed Tehran” … and one of the kids had on a Zach Wilson #Jets jersey 🤦‍♂️ You can’t make it up, the Jets are always in some controversy."

A suspicious suicide, an accomplice locked up for no reason apparently, and a list of victims but not clients somehow

don’t piss in my face and tell me it’s raining

The same list that Pam Bondi said was “on her desk” a few months ago.

I think they’ve badly overestimated how much of an issue this could become. It’s one of the few issues that both sides of the political spectrum are on board with. That Epstein’s list needs to be released and those on it to be thoroughly investigated.

It’s likely the list contains names from all over the political spectrum and we are talking about child protection and justice for victims of sexual abuse. It’s about as bi-partisan an issue as you can get.

A lot of the Reps own base are pissed with this along with their ‘former base’…

WOW! CBS/Paramount just cancelled Stephen Colbert and next year will be their final show this has been running for 35 years as in the late night show concept. He just heard it last night after saying some bad things about Trump accepting Bribe Money from CBS.

 

[Jetflag]

The late night show view numbers have been declining ever since streaming became a thing.

Why watch/ pay for a generic, cookie-cutter, unfunny, repetitive boomer-show when you can have your pickings from a 100 specialised, stylised and, if you wish, edgy or extremely politically correct shows for free at any time of your convenience?

I actually didn't mind Stephen Colbert mind you I think the Late Night show people share some of the jokes because some of the jokes mentioned in Stephen Colbert were mentioned in The Daily Show and also Seth Myers's show as well.

Just like how a lot of people boycott MAGA businesses when they're found out to be MAGA (Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts), and just like how people boycotted Target for rolling back DEI policies (Target’s DEI Fallout: How Much Did the Boycott Really Cost?), I think it's fine to shut down Stephen Colbert's show if the owners of the company want to gain political favor. Sometimes, capitalism isn't the end-be-all; even if this show has decent ratings and makes good profit, it's still in the best interests of the owners to be on good terms with Trump.

"The consequences of your actions" aren't just for conservatives. They *also* apply to liberals. In this administration, no one should take their job for granted if they decide to take a political stance.
