Obligatory this is illegal.
This is a lie, of course.
There was no debate or vote on any funding bill.
Mike Johnson literally just shut the government down to prevent the release of the Epstein files. Anyone that tells you otherwise is lying to you, full stop.
I would still consider the possibility he did it only due to a bribe, not enough intelligence to lead, DEI hire.
And Americans will believe them and keep voting red
The lies never stopped in American history. From the very first day it was a lie in the creation declaration that “all men are created equal” America is just a nation of lies and will forever be so.
They still celebrate Thanksgiving like it’s not the beginning of a massive century-long genocide.
Ah yes, the radical left that has mysterious control of 3 branches of government even in the minority. Is it possible to learn these powers?
We have more genders so its easier to overrun the government
From elsewhere:
The Hatch Act, a federal law passed in 1939, limits certain political activities of federal employees, as well as some state, D.C., and local government employees who work in connection with federally funded programs. The law’s purposes are to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion, to protect federal employees from political coercion in the workplace, and to ensure that federal employees are advanced based on merit and not based on political affiliation.

Those complaints are going straight into a shredder.
This administration has been blatant about putting right wing allies into major positions of power in the government and basing decision-making on partisan politics in every branch, at every level of government.
Those that play ball are promoted, those that don’t, like the CDC director, get replaced.
Rule one for fighting tyranny: do not obey in advance.
Not taking advantage of the legal protections at our disposal is to obey in advance.
Despair is easy. Fighting back is hard.
I say make them and it then, keep sending
Who is going to read it and would they actually do anything?
That a government site can be used so obviously for partisan propaganda is wild.
It’s currently breaking the law. The Hatch Act is supposed to prevent federal employees from participating in politics like this. Not that they care. Someone else in the thread mentioned repairing violations of the Hatch Act.
You ain’t seen nothin yet! Go and study 1930s Germany. Before the war. Even before the invasions of other countries. Look how they used their government to cement nazi propaganda.
Now look at the USA today. Kinda feels like 1935 Germany I’d say. If that alone doesn’t scare the shit out of you, then I redirect your attention back to studying, because you clearly missed everything to be gained by studying history.
History never repeats itself, but it often rhymes.
The US is following the playbook by the letter. The biggest difference between nascent Nazi Germany and the US today? We’ve had 80+ years to build up military power which we’ll use to crush any who stand against us, while Germany was still fighting against crippling debt and hoping not to generate too much notice as they built up their military power. While the Nazi’s had to coax, cajole, and bully the media into speaking or reporting on them favorably, this administration has managed to get the media to eagerly accede to demands that haven’t been made. The government shuts down, President
Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew CamachoMayor McCheese will declare a state of emergency that includes the criminalization of the opposition party for causing the shutdown, then he’ll cite whatever war SecretaryHePronoun Removed-Man has started as the reason for a full martial law implementation and the military annexation of Canada for “Secure the Borders!”. In this scenario US=Germany, Canada=Poland, and we just skip the Sudetenland and The Anschluss (though to the administration, they’ll expect that the annexation of Canada will equate to The Anschluss) and go right to the need for “Lebensraum”I don’t know why you have to be a dick in your response to me but I will return the favor in my response.
Well maybe you shouldn’t assume someone doesn’t know the history because you don’t understand what they mean.
Some quick steps to understand subtext:
- As it is obvious that a website can be used for anything, the description of wild is not actually describing the act.
- If it is not describing the act, what is it describing? Clearly it is describing an ability. The ability of whom? As the “what” is already excluded as an option. The government’s abilit to do that!
- Obviously the government can do that though… so maybe the ability is not the ability to do it but the lack of consequences that one has to face when doing it.
- consequences? From whom? The public.
So let’s read it again, “it is wild that the public let the government publish obviously partisan propaganda over public channels like that”.
But why would the author expect the public to show a reaction to this behaviour? Mhm maybe because he is aware of the history and he assumes that the general public has the vague understanding, due to history, that the government shouldn’t be used to push partisan propaganda.
But please, be proud of how smart you are and how you know history while failing to understand the subtext of a simple sentence.
I think you’ve misinterpreted the tone of the post, and assumed it was directed only at you and not all readers.
You ain’t seen nothin yet! Go and study 1930s Germany
Totally not directed to me but the reader.
Even to a reader, it is incredibly arrogant in tone.

Of course they do! But the Woke Left™️ is somehow infinitely weak and powerless, while also being endlessly insurmountably strong, and this cognitive dissonance is why Fascist rhetoric is so effective. It allows them to feel permanently powerful and in control, while ALSO raging endlessly against whatever Out-Group they hate somehow controlling everything behind the scenes, spawning an infinite cycle of hatred, vitriol, and violence that only ever ends in blood.
It’s bullshit, plain and simple, but it’s terrifyingly effective bullshit, because you cannot rationally convince them that it IS bullshit. It relies explicitly on whoever believes it being willing to purposely ignore reality in favor of vibes and rage, which modern Republican voters have been purpose bred (metaphorically) for over the last 50 years through FOX News.
Fucking embarrassing.
Goodness.

Not much better if you ask me.
And OP wasn’t kidding, the very same text comes up again as a pop-up after a while. And again whatever internal link I click. I have no words.
Fucking gross and embarrassing.

I think most people didn’t believe this piece of treasonous shit would win after helping to foment the January 6 insurrection. And yet here we are.
There’s also this fundamental drive to roll back women’s lib bubbling beneath the surface which, apparently, is popular with young men.
I swear I’ll never understand this mindset where young men think that 1) they’ll automatically be assigned a woman that meets their specifications and 2) that will magically solve all their problems. It’s such a juvenile way of looking at the world. It’s why some women can’t wait for sexbots so these chuds can be placated and leave us the fuck alone.
They don’t want a partner, they want a sex toy.
The people orchestrating this shit have told us exactly what they want (Project 2025), and it includes women losing basic bodily autonomy, as well as the right to vote.
I think a lot of them know exactly what it means, and it’s what they want.
