By defunding them…
Like, I understand you’re trying to agree with me, but you clearly just don’t understand this

3·11 hours agoIf Martin and the status quo were the only two option, MLK Day wouldn’t be a holiday because he wouldn’t have accomplished shit.
The reason Martin made gains in civil rights, was the alternative was Malcolm and the Panthers using all those guns they kept waving around.
The revisionist history that they opposed each other is based off a Play oy interview MLK did where they swapped his answer for a question about The Nation of Islam to a question about Malcolm X and use of violence.
How do you propose we get 75 billion back that Suozzi voted against giving in the first place then?
And why do you think defending the few parts of the government that still works would have any effect on the bad parts that are already funded?
Like, I get your intent and I agree with it. But for fucks sake we need actual plausible plans that have a chance to work and aren’t guaranteed to cause even more damage if implemented.
It’s perfectly normal to be pissed, but it doesn’t help anyone if we stop thinking logically. We can be pissed and still act logically, even I manage it most of time.

We all know Raphael doesn’t have a spine, if he’s willing to say this, it means trump has already lost massive support not only from Republicans but the donors who back them.
Things make more sense when you read a full comment…
And this guy staying in the race would split the Republican vote handing it to the Dems, or he’d be the only Republican and no matter what ICE loses…
12·13 hours agoIf you think goalposts were moved, you didn’t understand any of this and explaining more won’t help.
Feel free to keep replying to my comments, but I’ll never see anymore of your questions
Coward
He should stay in the race, and if he won he should stand up to trump.
All dropping out does is help whatever sycophant makes it to the general with an R by their name.
We won’t se parrels to the American revolution, because the American revolution was replacing “old money” oligarchs for “new money” oligarchs.
And this time around the “new money” oligarchs are the tech bros supporting maga. And we don’t want the new money to win, we want the people to win. And the people didn’t win the American revolutionary war, they just got new masters.
Suozzi, a moderate who co-chairs the House Problem Solvers Caucus, initially said last week he opposed shutting down the government because ICE would nonetheless continue to function due to an infusion of billions of dollars to the agency from President Donald Trump’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill. He also noted shutting down DHS would affect other agencies, like FEMA and the Coast Guard.
He’s got a point, BBB gave ICE 75 billion they can spend however they like in the next decade. They can operate off that for years at current spending levels.
And to Souzzi’s credit, he voted against the BBB.
Not passing a budget isn’t enough, we need to claw that 75 billion back.
If he’s an adult and in Trump’s cabinet he should be utilizing the 25 amendment, just like everyone in Biden’s admin and Trump’s first one should have.
We haven’t had a single adult in any presidential administration for a decade now, and it’s showing.
Just grifters who want to amass as much wealth from bribes as possible.
Why did you not notice a way to move that heat isn’t included in that definition?
The federal government trying to figure out why federal agents keep murdering US citizens:
Oh yeah, because surely they wouldn’t escalate to murdering people in the street anyways…
Hasn’t hit bullet prices yet, but it’s going to.
Hell, we legitimately might not be able to buy guns or bullets soon.
But right now it still costs surprisingly little to outarm the fascists.
Shit had to get bad enough for the average American for the average voter to realize shits broken.
It took the Great Depression to get FDR elected, and the government was killing protesters in the streets then too.
Hell, a giant group of armed veterans were living at the Washington monument during the election.
Shit could have always gotten better, but it usually has to get real bad before people accept it. It’s bad enough now we can actually fix shit
It all depends.
Infantry in a war zone have their own gun and it’s their gun, with them 24/7.
Armed guards doing patrols with a rifle or sitting at a desk with a handgun likely just got handed one off a rack they turn in at the end of watch.
If you want to know why US troops (specifically Marines) have to buy their own accessories, Alexander Skarsgard explains it waaaay better than I can:
4·16 hours agoOne of my favorite running gags in the show. Pretty sure Bubbles calls him out multiple times too
If you haven’t checked out “Black Jesus” yet, it’s the TPB guy (Mike Clattenberg, not one of the actors) and the guy who made Boondocks (Aaron McGrudder).
It really scratches that TPB/IASIP itch. Except the main cast is generally good guys, and it’s the rest of society that’s degenerate. Like, surprisingly good social commentary throughout
Anyone that would grab a Ham’s ain’t reaching over natty ice tall boys…
