Trav and Taylor are trumpers girl (698)

Taylor may have secretly voted for Trump idk her mind. But she openly campaigned for Harris so 🤷🏼‍♀️ (14)

NFL players of all races lean very conservative. Remember this is a sport that has had ONE openly gay active player in its entire history, It's not exactly known for its progressivism and tolerance. There are only a couple of vocally liberal players and a whole lot more far-right ones who stay relatively quiet. (743)

Is basketball different? My cities team has a coach that will not shut the frick up about issues(complimentary)but I don't really get into sportsball so I thought that was common across the board. (59)

Compare this to the Eagles and Jalen hurts attitude towards him. I don't know anything about sports except that I want the chiefs to lose this. (983)

What did Jalen say about him? I can't find anything about it. (14)

Let's stop pretending Taylor is some kind of helpless baby who's trapped in this relationship - she's obviously fine with dating a Trump supporter. She's a typical billionaire who's insulated from everything that's happening and about to happen to America and idk why she gets special treatment. (7874)

Listen I don't know a fricking thing about this subreddit and idk even know why it's recommended honestly but you hear me this:For as much good as taytay loves to purport I'll say this much as an aviation veteran with a decade experience working with private jets: this woman can frick right the frick off. The amount of fuel she shits into the atmosphere on the regular is worthy darn near of a war crime. Not to mention just the idea of how unabashedly gaudy it is, flashing her billions around while charging what, 4-500USD a ticket?I'm over the Taylor bullshit and I'm fricking left as they come. Way fricking left. (6)

I'll likely be downmarseyd for this but this is just your standard straight down the middle athlete answer during media week, if you have a problem with the answer [which is fair] then it's less about him as an individual and more about the NFL's media training and stance as a whole. The same journ*list asked everyone else the same question on both teams and they all answered pretty much the same. They do it to create as little headlines and distractions as possible before the big game. The only reason this may get more attention despite a similar neutral answer to everyone else is because of the TS connection.We have seen Trump speak negatively on both Travis and Taylor previously. As someone who isn't much of a fan of his or the Chiefs he's publicly supported and advocated for causes and groups that are diametrically opposed to Trump. Whether it be Kelce's public stance on guns, LGBT rights, BLM movement or vaccination. There is also a podcast appearance where he says Trump is racis... (766)

This is a dude that kneeled with teammates during the national anthem, who donates to inner city youth, and is generally a decent dude doing pro-vaccine commercials, and other things. I don't know his personal beliefs, but he's also the ultimate team player. He's the least likely guy to make a media mistake during the biggest week of his life at the Superbowl. He didn't say he loves Donald Trump and he didn't say Frick him. Both that would blow up the story. He just said the President coming is an honor. It would be for any President that the head of the nation wants to watch you play. Even if they are not someone you like or support. Now, that saying Trump sucks, F him would cause trouble with his team, team owner, league, fan base, half the country, that is what really sucks. Not Travis's answer. For being a Chiefs fan, I don't like the NFL limiting players free speech by threat of job loss, the owners make the game almost unwatchable knowing that you are stuffing money i... (167)

Donald trump has literally gone out of his way to insult taylor and made horrible deepfake AI images of her. Also trumps boss musk has been posting in the past 2 weeks ! photoshopped images to make taylor look like a nazi and this is what he says?! I'd be fuming!! (40)

Hahahahaha hahahahaha

Muzzies are such innocent babies if only hondas didn't corrupt them

You have to wonder where support for this bs comes from. It victimizes foids as much as moids, usually any family nearby is included in complaint to increase harassment. It's probably easiest of the turbo tarded laws to change but it's like all public discussion is verboten beyond inkwell circles.

ignore the 0 effort plating

I'm sorry but Europe is so 🚬 y now. It's become Orwellian, with people being arrested for thinking about dead babies, and with streams of illegal immigrants running about raping everybody while the governments all cheerlead diversity and say "nothing to see here".

The fact that the left has to reflexively defend European decline under the guise of "be nice to our allies!" is just so fricking ghey.

!friendsofspiderman

Who should I ban next. Should I ban award @sandkwinn more? She said something mean to my girlfriend. I hate her. I hate Sandkwinn.

This reeks of "Freedom Fries."

I thought freedom fries was the dumbest thing i've ever seen out of washington... well until now. 4 more years of this BTW.

Fun fact about World War One, the US started calling Sauerkraut by the name of Liberty Cabbage. We don't have fresh ideas.

The Gulf of Liberty Cabbage

Welp, I know which name I'm going with.

I'm going with Gulf of Mexico, with Gulfy McGulfface being a close second option.

I'm in NZ. Google maps says its Gulf of Mexico (because that's its fricking name).

>Google says it will change Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' in Maps after government updates

>will change

Hopefully, it's only 4 more years.

if we're not in some kinda post apocalyptic scenario in 4 years i'll be pleasantly surprised

That's the shit that has me up all night.. Fricking lunatics have escaped the asylum again, but this time they're prepared. This ain't "Joker 2" muthafricka!

Four years, give or take a /r/collapse

This was only the first week. ugh

4 more years so far...

Yup. Just the first week. Im so sick of the darn trump show and it doesn't seem there is a way to unsubscribe, disconnect, turn the channel, unplug the tv etc. His brand of stupidity is fricking everywhere.

4? Try 8 when vance gets elected

Hopefully you'll still have a country that resembles the US in 4 years.

They ruined the Dixie Chicks' career because they spoke out. Turns out we should trust some musicians for our foreign policy.

Just because some are sometimes right doesn't mean we should generally trust musicians.

The overwhelming majority of musicians are not geopolitics experts, or at all informed on political issues.

The fact that we constantly expect celebrities to chime in on issues they have no expertise in is one of the reasons politics is so toxic and polarised today. It's contributed to the dumbing down of political discourse.

But also, being a musician does not disqualify you from having and expressing political opinions, nor does it guarantee that you are politically illiterate.

The world might be a better place if pop artists were more inclined to sing about politics than vague romantic notions.

real big "shut up and dribble" vibes coming from that dude

: Rich people are out of touch and have no idea about reality or what the common people are going through! Guillotine them all!

: Actually, more celebrities should lecture people on how to be hecking good human beans, after all they all agree with me. Tee hee!

The funny part to me is that "America" isn't even the name of our country, it's the name of the continent. We're the United States. 'Gulf of the Americas' kind of makes sense, but has nothing to do with the United States of America.

I could see that if it was the gulf of USA but Mexico is part of America

And everyone will continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico

In Florida we just call it "the gulf".

Not any more - we'll be sure to add "of Mexico" for clarity from now on.

Seems confusing. How do you know which gulf you're talking about?

What an absolutely brilliant question. Your mother must be so proud of you. Do you go poo poo on your own too? Awwwwwww.

Woosh

Awwww, not yet? You'll get there.

They are so angry they just attack each other for no reason

Everyone who matters will call it the Gulf of Mexico, at least.

I hate to break it to you but everyone matters, not just those that agree with you. That was made very evident with the election. Just because in your mind you can just tell yourself other people don't matter, they actually do. And sadly, their decisions can frick up the world for you.

I think he/she might mean those in communities that actually deal with the Gulf like those in the scientific communities, not just the average layman.

Sure, that's perfectly possible. However, that doesn't counter my point at all. The entire idea that some matter, and some don't, is how we ended up in this mess in the first place. It turns out, everyone actually does, and if you don't believe that, your world can get pretty fricked up by that disbelief.

Give up brother this place is like a blindfolded circlejerk

Leftists purity checking each other over things that aren't even disagreements

Americans don't matter to me any more.

What irrelevant country are you from?

The great thing about American exceptionalism is that it can never have any negative consequences of any kind. Good luck with that!

I will. Frick that nazi. Gulf Of Mexico.

Oh so you like deadnaming now, interesting.

PM Trudeau of Canada should issue an order renaming the USA to "South Canada". Let's see Google change it for Canadian viewing.

This is exactly the kind of high-level international trolling we need. Show Trump for the pathetic man-child that he is.

: So you guys agree that we should be same the country then!

But _I_ don't desire they use that name, and I'm American. Can we, like, petition Google to not be punks who do what the totalitarian wants?

Lmao. The Google CEO was front row at Trump's inauguration. Best of luck

Maybe constantly bitching about CEOs/rich people/important people even when they're on your side could have some unfortunate consequences?

Californian checking in. It's the Gulf of Mexico.

>Google will change

Google is the scariest of all tech companies. They are essentially our library. They have the ability to manipulate the narrative on a different level. For the vast majority they are our dictionary, our encyclopedia, our Library of Alexandria. They are THE reference for day to day life. Our last arbiter of truth.

We are already aware that weighted searches are for sale.. but them kissing the ring is scarier than social media techs doing so. By my estimation, at least.

That's why I periodically download wikipedia

"Here at Google, we deepthroat the whole boot"

Stop being anti-corporations and maybe they'll like your side too

Why do people think this ends when trump ends? It doesn't. It's being set up so it doesn't. We will get Vance, who is more cognizant and has the potential to be worse.

True but, I don't think anyone but Trump has what it takes to rile up the morons enough to get out and vote.

It's comments like this that make me think you people still do not understand the magnitude of this election.

Every single lever of power in the government that matters is now firmly controlled by people who are perfectly fine cheating in broad daylight with a violent mob to maintain that power.

They are not going to let themselves be voted out of that power.

Maybe choose an actual candidate next time instead of an identity checklist?

I think his cult followers can absolutely be manipulated, post Trump Death, into turning on themselves. I don't think they're accept the Charisma vacuum as the next leader.

I think the internal MAGA civil war will tear the movement apart.

You just have to hope that they haven't destroyed democracy too much post that point.

Like how you guys lost the election?

People want to believe that Trump is pulling the strings. They don't want to believe that there's a group of people putting EOs on his desk to sign without reading

Fricking wingcucks lmao

Now factor in the very best healthcare that money can't buy.

COVID would have killed him if he wasn't POTUS. Sad this dude keeps escaping death. It's always the evil ones that live the longest. :/

Even the best medicine can't do miracles.

Ah, frick, who am I kidding, modern medicine is a miracle. We're fricked.

[Karma] Doesn't exist.

I mean… it does. You'll see. And even if you don't believe, when bad things happen, I can assure you us real Americans will be cheering

I'm a real American too but I don't believe karma is an actual thing. If it were true, why would such monstrosities be done to innocent people over the course of history? What did they ALL do to deserve slavery/torture/murder/r*pe/genocide?

I meant real in the sense cheering for karma to happen to dotard. You are also assuming you know exactly how something you don't believe in actually works. Bold assumption

Do you know exactly how it works then?

I know what I believe, but is it what religious adherents believe? No, don't think so.

How is that any different than what I said?

Cause I think my version is real or is to me at least. You said none of it is real.

It's real to me that it doesn't exist.

Yeah that's usually a sign of deaths door

The new Starbucks CEO announced that Starbucks isn't a free hangout space anymore. That means you can only be in a Starbucks if you pay for something. This stops homeless people from living in a Starbucks and getting:

• Free water

• Free restrooms

• Free all-day hangout space

A common complaint on /r/starbucksbaristas is that the staff are tired of having to deal with homeless people - they spend all day in the stores, lock themselves in the bathroom for hours at a time while shooting up, and they often have to call the police. For example:

we STILL get annoying incidents, because our DM told us we cannot deny the bathroom to anyone unless in extreme situations. so even when a homeless person wants the restroom, we have to let them in, and most of them take anywhere from 40 mins to an hour in the restroom and it's our only restroom. so partners AND other customers are stuck waiting. we've had to call the police multiple times because they refuse to come out or are doing hard drugs inside. someone has left needles in there before. it's a weird situation.

So you'd assume that there would be unanimous happiness at this news? You're wrong! The thread is 99% against this change.

water is a human right and the private company that I work for must supply it for free!

The third place is a concept for paying customers, it's not a social club for the homeless.

Banning homeless people from keeping pets is the right option here.

I'm not going to sit in a Starbucks if there's a in the corner.

I'm waiting for the lawsuits!

lol no it's about making Starbucks a decent place to be a customer again.

I'd give anything to not be shadowbanned on /r/starbucksbaristas anymore. These guys piss me off so much.

The past two nights I've been stuck around liberals that have stared into the abyss for too long. They claim that scared idiots like conservatives like simple answers. Yet the simple answer they cling to for their election lose is that America is racist and sexist.

Never mind the fact that compared to Biden, Kamala got 6 million less votes. Trump only went up by 3 million votes compared to his last presidential rub. The fact of the matter is no one liked her. She has a history of being unpopular.

They say that Trump is holding onto power so he doesn't go to prison. That makes zero sense because he could give himself a blanket pardon just like Biden gave his family.

I really wish these people weren't in so many of my social circles. I need to find ways to meet more regular people

I am cautiously optimistic that we will reach the $4B/day FY2026 reduction this weekend https://t.co/XQBK3rqkwo

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 1, 2025

Reducing the federal deficit from $2T to $1T in FY2026 requires cutting an average of $4B/day in projected 2026 spending from now to Sept 30.

That would still result in a $1T deficit, but economic growth should be able to match that number, which would mean no inflation in 2026.

Super big deal.

Elon Musk's DOGE commission gains access to sensitive Treasury payment systems

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Government Efficiency, run by President Donald Trump's billionaire adviser and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has gained access to sensitive Treasury data including Social Security and Medicare customer payment systems, according to two people familiar with the situation.

https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-elon-musk-doge-treasury-5e26cc80fcb766981cea56afd57ae759

"They seem to want Treasury to be the chokepoint on payments, and that's unprecedented," the person added, emphasizing that it is not the bureau's role to decide which payments to make — it is "just to make the f-ing payments."

https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/31/politics/doge-treasury-department-federal-spending/index.html

Federal Outlays Breakdown, these are what the treasury actually pays out

Throughout this page, we use outlays to represent spending. This is money that has actually been paid out and not just promised to be paid. When issuing a contract or grant, the U.S. government enters a binding agreement called an obligation. This means the government promises to spend the money, either immediately or in the future. As an example, an obligation occurs when a federal agency signs a contract, awards a grant, purchases a service, or takes other actions that require it to make a payment. Obligations do not always result in payments being made, which is why we show actual outlays that reflect actual spending occurring.

Napkin math with last years numbers:

• Social Security: $374 B (19.7%)

• National Defense: $262 B (13.8%)

• Health: $246 B (13.0%)

• Net Interest: $242 B (12.8%)

• Medicare: $233 B (12.3%)

• Income Security: $162 B (8.5%)

• Veterans Benefits and Services: $105 B (5.5%)

• Education, Training, Employment, and Social Services: $52 B (2.7%)

• Natural Resources and Environment: $39 B (2.1%)

• Transportation: $36 B (1.9%)

• Other: $43 B (2.3%)

Total Outlays Spending: $1.9 trillion

Assuming boomers and the defense companies are untouchable and muskrat isn't r-slurred enough to default on interest payments overnight this can be met by immediately halting payments for:

• Income security(162b) + Vets services(105b) + Education(52b) + Environment (39b) + transportation (36b) + Other(43b) = (.162+.105+.052+.039+0.036+.043) trillion = 0.437 Trillion dollars

Lets slap on a halt for all healthcare outlays including medicaid for 246b to get 0.683 Trillion dollars . Nowhere near enough dollarydoos to meet the target.

Lets make some harder sacrifices. All outlays to the penta-GONE (262b) for 0.945 Trillion. Now the target can easily be solved by reducing SS payments by 14% .

Bigger picture 1 trillion dollars is 3.65% of nominal GDP and 1 trillion dollars worth of outlays being halted for a year from this scheme fires a solid chunk of 2 million soldiers, 2 million federal employees, every contractor so something like ~5-7 million people? Pulling some galaxy brained napkin math out my butt thats 1/16th the total workforce for an additional 6% unemployment not including private sector income loss by sept 30.

UPDATE: FAKE NEWS

MULTIPLE ABOVE SPENDING BUDGET BY 3

Will this go through ?

Who knows ? Its literally the most illegally r-slurred way of cutting the deficit imaginable .

But muskrat says its the plan and this is what the payments system controls
