In other news
In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there are important, interesting or just plain weird things happening out there and a group of people can find these better than one.
I thought I would test with a thread for linking general news articles about "other news" and discussion. Perhaps it goes into the abyss that is page 2 and beyond, but it is worth a try.
Some guidelines:
- Try to find the "clean link", so that links to the news site directly and not a social media site. Avoid "amp-links" (google).
- Write some cliff notes on what it is about, especially if it is a video.
- It's not an excuse to make outlandish claims via proxy or link extremist content.
- If it's an editorial or opinion piece, it is polite to mark it as such.
- Note the language if it is not in English.
- There is no demand that such things be posted here, if you think a piece merits its own thread, then make one.
Rents are down double digit in Austin even with very low unemployment and good jobs available

Alex Soros, son of George Soros, both deep state conrads, are afraid RFK Jr.'s plan to overhaul our health agencies could weaken the response to a future pandemic.
Elon Musk just replied to his post with *scamdemic.

Pfft, RFK. Dude is a beta. Big daddy Trump is back in town. They got more things to worry about than some legacy hanger on.
This is coming from one of the owners/controllers of Ukraine.
Of course he's happy, Putin is the biggest enemy of the DS.
Dam I was as sure trump was …
When they say the far left is anti-family, they might have a point. Why would a Yale psychiatrist encourage such immature and damaging behavior?

Aren’t we free to chose with whom we want to spend our time with without being guilty ?
I think she says yes and you disagree because families should not be subject to freedom ?
You think it’s healthy to accept all toxic behaviours as normal and be force to deal with it instead of just not be present ?

It's incredibly sad when friends and family can't put political disagreements aside and allow them to ruin relationships. Obviously, we're free to decide who we want to spend time with, but not showing up to Thanksgiving dinner because some of your loved ones voted for Trump is tantamount to throwing a tantrum. She's the one encouraging toxic behavior.

People who say this act like "politics" is massively removed from someone's personality like, "why can't we just agree to disagree about the best chess opening or who is going to win the Superbowl" or whatever. Politics, especially in this day in age, fundamentally defines who you are as a person. We're not talking about disagreements about marginal tax rates here.
Shitty politics make shitty people.

*I wasn't referring to him as an owner in control, I was referring to his father, et al (he's just like a hunter byden but his daddy's a lot more powerful then hunter's daddy by light years).

if you don't accept that your family can be composed of some shitty people yet blood is always more important than everything else, you are the shitty person, at least in many moral systems.
family always comes before the country for people of good morals. so no matter how bad the ideas of a family member can be about how the country should be led, you don't cut them of for that. you don't if they are heinous criminals!
it's different for friends which you can choose.

That's your value system, not mine.

It's only really liberals that believe this and part of what makes you guys so annoying.

This is a crazy take. I don't care that my sister and uncle voted for Trump. We have so many memories. If I need help with whatever, they're there at a moment's notice. And they'd be there no matter how left wing I was. Do their politics get in the way of our shared love for Beverly Hills 90210 and Steve Martin? No, they don't. Are they good parents? Yeah. Is my uncle unintentionally hilarious? Yes. Have I learned from both of them? Of course. If we talk about politics, it's with the understanding that we have genuine disagreements, and it pretty much ends there.
My circle of friends have known each other for thirty years. There are burn-it-down lefties who cheered on the riots as well as Tucker Carlson fans. Most of us fall somewhere in between, but everyone gets along fine. We give each other **** from time to time, but it never comes to blows because we know that we're more than our politics.

Sure, if you have that sort of relationship with your family, great. You'd be surprised for how many people spending time with most of their family is a chore. As Luciom said, you don't choose them.
well if you are anti family (if family isn't exceptionally high in your list of priorities), then the critique zers talked about is correct.
Not really. Family isn't high on my list of priorities, but in and of itself that has nothing to do with my politics. I was pretty distant with my family before I ever got interested in politics.

it's worse than annoying, because that's the core reason why they want a big state.
losing family as THE main financial, emotional, anchor in dire times requires a substitute, and that will be the state.
except we don't need it because we have our families, but we have to subsidize them for their choice of not having a functional family.
it's even more grotesque when people without children want a pensione and healthcare in old age, that's when it becomes an actual fraud.
if they were paying the price of not having a family (by refusing their existing one, and refusing to create one) in full I would care less about the topic.

For some people, it can be, and there are many reasons that may be the case. But it's not because of how they voted.

It's not because of how they voted, that would have causation backwards. In the scenario presented, their voting differently is a symptom of why you never got along in the first place.
Yeah. If someone is always in your face ranting about politics and saying things that really bother you and you ask them to stop repeatedly, that's one thing.
To cut off friends and family merely because you know they voted in a way you disapprove of is cult behavior. It's also goofy coming from centrist libs who are totally unperturbed by like, the Iraq war, or Bill Clinton's sex crimes, but are mad because of Trump's sex crimes.
