trump thread

[grue]

look there's a petty part of me that I learned to accept and that part of me was kinda looking forward to see the red hat youtube manlets fucken shamed to oblivion over supporting a president that ended up in jail

and I understand that drive bc being online and not being mad takes a lot of patience and charisma and willpower which most of us can't afford to have specially knowing that bieng online is a form of escapism and release

so I get that people would have that gotcha! haha feeling but the fact that millionaires like maddow milked that conspiracy theory cash cow and are now going "well I'm sure Barr is lying bc there's no way I'm wrong!!" it's fucking slimy af; these people have a responsibility that me and you don't have

as for the amazon thing yeah idk I understand that AOC was lying with the whole "giving money to amazon that we can invest in blablabla" thing but it's also not technically true that the amazon tax breaks only exist in this virtual scenario where amazon is making money; this is NYC and in order for amazon to have workers it needs to syphon them off someplace else. the argument would make sense if they were occupying a desert in the middle of nowhere and then yeah, it's nothing but net gain; but they're taking over the local workforce and diverting it to themselves which in turn is happening under a tax break that other businesses weren't having. so you can say that virtually this is money that would otherwise come in in the form of taxes; though im sure it's not dollar-per-dollar comparable
