They're not too far away, either. Mack Trucks just announced layoffs in one of their production facilities and blamed the tariffs.

I used to think Fain was a good guy, but now I'm thinking he's an idiot. That article quotes him from social media saying:

he UAW supports aggressive tariff action to protect American manufacturing jobs as a good first step to undoing decades of anti-worker trade policy

and

Trump’s anti-worker policy at home, including dissolving collective bargaining agreements and gutting the National Labor Relations Board, leaves American workers facing worsening wages and working conditions even while the administration takes aggressive tariff action.

Tariffs are a big part of the problem you twit! Tariffs will raise prices on manufacturing which will raise prices on cars. That will reduce demand for new cars causing layoffs. This is not rocket science man. Think it through. Tariffs are anti-worker.

That in now equates to abolishing the family.

It takes a village means that everyone in the community should care about everyone else's well being. It has nothing to do with nuclear of extended family. Your conclusion is not logical.

No the left is not critical of the "nuclear family". The left more more typically feels that people should mind their own business about what other people feel is a family. If you want a traditional ma, pa, and kids family, that's great, you do that. But if I want two dads and adopted kids, I should be able to do that too.

we want to abolish the family by making our families bigger

Yeah, that makes no sense at all.

discussion about family values and having babies is split into two extreme camps – the trad-wife Right and the “abolish the family” Left

What is this nonsense? Assuming there even is an "abolish the family" left, it is so tiny and niche that I've never even heard of it. Certainly nothing as vocal and prevalent as the trad-wife people. I rather suspect that this author just had to find, or maybe make up, something so they could both-sides the topic and feel superior to everyone.

Holy shit! He's alive? I did not expect that.

It could. To quote the movie Uncommon Valor: Most human problems can be solved by an appropriate charge of high explosives.

Nichols should raise the fine to $40k less than the value of both houses combined and teach this prick what destitute means.

[Judge] Nichols asked Lindell on Wednesday for proof that he was in financial ruin. He described Lindell’s claims as “non-verifiable” and gave him until Friday to submit proof he was bankrupt.

Good. I bet the fucker has plenty of money stashed away.

Lindell told Nichols his only possessions were two homes and a truck he was trying to sell for cash.

Two homes, mother fucker, two. That's two more than a lot of people. Judge needs to make him sell both homes and the truck and assign a forensic accountant to make sure he doesn't have anything hidden anywhere. Leave him just enough to buy this place.

Maybe we can get copies of their messages from Russia then.

None of this, of course, is to say that what Mangione did was justifiable or wise.

Um, fuck you? He hasn't been convicted and the author's assumption here, that Mangione is guilty of what he has been accused of, is part of the fucking problem.

They are not going to be prepared for you to fight back.

I would be willing to bet that a significant portion of them spend their workdays at half-mast just hoping for someone to resist with a weapon so they can execute them. They may be more prepared than you think.

Nope. They are whining for another bailout like he gave them the last time he fucked them over with tariffs.

Big deal. This is just ordinary locker-room obstruction of justice.

Meanwhile, his attempts to raise concerns internally within the NLRB preceded someone "physically taping a threatening note" to his door that included sensitive personal information and overhead photos of him walking his dog that appeared to be taken with a drone, according to a cover letter attached to his disclosure filed by his attorney, Andrew Bakaj of the nonprofit Whistleblower Aid.

So much for whistleblower protection.

Yep. Mussolini made the trains run on time.

people are willing to fucking put themselves between a cop and a Native Canadian they try to abuse

So you acknowledge that the RCMP abuse some people, but you still try to defend them?

Longer than that, I bet. This report from EPIAction doesn't specifically mention spending increases and decreases, but all other economic indicators have been better under Democrats than they have under Republicans for at least 75 years.

Since 1949, there has been a Democratic advantage in the average performance of key macroeconomic indicators measuring economic health, including:

• Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth
• Job growth
• Unemployment rate
• Growth in inflation-adjusted wages
• Growth of market-based incomes per capita
• Inflation
• Interest rates

The US economy has performed better when the president of the United States is a Democrat rather than a Republican, almost regardless of how one measures performance…The superiority of economic performance under Democrats rather than Republicans is nearly ubiquitous: it holds almost regardless of how you define success. By many measures, the performance gap is startlingly large.

Virtually free energy is, as always, only 10 years away.

You know, this may really piss off some folks who got an early notification that there would be an exemption for electronics. You know, his insider trading buddies. It will be interesting to see who gets the angriest about this last minute change.

On April 11, 2025, traders placed large, targeted call option bets on Apple. That evening, the Trump administration quietly exempted smartphones from tariffs, news not publicized until April 12. These trades weren't speculation - they were placed before the memo was released.
