I hate Netanyahu, and the Israeli government as much as anyone; but currently Ana Kasparian is currently pushing the conspiracy theory, that Israel did 9/11. Now this is some very dangerous rhetoric, seemingly being made to fuel the fires of antisemitic hatred.

Having Bernie Sanders Derangement Syndrome in 2025 is one of the hugest red flags. Those shitlibs are absolutely indistinguishable from MAGA chuds.

I'm blocked, What does the quote say

Ideally this rent control would be controlled by this new borough, which is why I selected a borough rather than a township or a city as far as government structure goes, Mayors have a lot less power in a borough
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
But it would create a lot of New housing for the people who are priced out of other parts of New Jersey.
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
Additionally I believe it needs to be Incorporated separately from Bedminster in order to have a better representation of the populace it seeks to call for. Not only would this bring a lot of money to Somerset County, more than just what would happen if we continue to allow it to be a golf course,
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
Also as far as this idea goes, I think that the state of New Jersey needs to purchase the land that currently encompasses Trump National Golf Course and develop it into a smaller borough of mid-rise buildings With heavy rent control, I also think that we should expand a rail line to accommodate
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
Oh so basically Somerville New Jersey, yeah I could get behind that.
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
It creates a sort of happy medium where the town is controlled as far as parking goes, however out of counters are still encouraged to visit our small town and spend their money at our businesses so long as they follow our public safety rules and don't go above 25 miles per hour
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
There are municipal parking lots in Somerville that do cost money to park at between certain times, but for the most part, except for on main Street, the central hub of the town, where there are parking meters. Businesses have free parking in abundance but it is limited to those businesses.
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
cars are fine so long as they are limited to the point where them traveling to parking lots isn't going to be a hindrance on public safety, I keep bringing it up but I will once more bring up Somerville, which has one lane going in each direction, top speed of 25 mph, and a huge walking culture
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
I think the only way parking should be free is if there is a low top speed within City limits and all of the high-speed roads are outside of the limits, hence what I said about Somerville again.
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
I've actually been trying to find a website that allows me to take a plot of land and design a city there using pre-made assets and all that shit, because I wanted to see how hard it would be to Urban develop the current plot of land that contains the Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster.
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
I don't particularly agree with urban infilling in most cases (except for cases that are similar to Orlando, that's where I'm going to criticize Orlando because it's all sprawl), but I do believe that every County should have at least one major metropolitan area.
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
The only good episode of that show was when he met with Obama
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
Even a $1 per hour parking meter is better than nothing because a lot of the time people just can't be bothered to spend that dollar on parking and would much rather not cause trouble within that City, actually Orlando traffic is next to nothing within the lake eola area.
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
Yeah, I like how Orlando does it, that's the only thing that I am not critical of over this city which is absolutely terribly designed, there is no free parking in the city, and it makes sense for a city that doesn't really have that public transit infrastructure.
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
...Wouldn't be logistically feasible to add another stop there when people aren't really showing up there frequently enough, and that's only one example. Disincentivizing cars for urban settings and their immediate outskirts makes sense for the most part though, especially in cities such as New York
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
...if you wanted to Go outside of the town it doesn't really make that much sense logistically to have public transit go to all of these places, especially in a town on the larger side of things such as Bridgewater. Many of my favorite hiking trails are inaccessible by anything but car, and it...
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
I feel like the issue with the suburbs part is that suburbs don't exactly have as much of a choice whether or not to have cars, I've pointed out the town of Somerville New Jersey in the past and how suburbs can be designed well while also allowing automotive infrastructure, but even then...

He had a level of lucidity, the issue was that he had a disconnect from reality, he wasn't found meandering about until this month, just as recently as last month he was able to walk in a straight line. There were signs of early stages of Alzheimer's, but now it's reached the point of no return.
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
I don't think we need to fee cars except for inside of cities, I think congestion pricing is the perfect solution as it currently stands

Oh shit it may be tomorrow, this entire month hasn't looked good for him

One of two things is true, Trump is either dead or he is very close to death. If it’s the first one, they’re trying to figure out how the hell they’re going to tell us, but I genuinely think the second one is true, and news will hit any day now that he just died

He’s not dead but he’s definitely dying.

Next I'll say Kamala Harris, the only reason why I'm putting her on this list is because I would happily take her over Gavin Newsom.
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
Next is Crockett, again, we need to get rid of Republicans in the Senate and I think that she is the most likely to be able to do so
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
Next I would say AOC, the only reason she's not higher on this list is because we desperately need to replace Chuck Schumer.
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
After that would be Tim Walz, my reasoning behind this is simple, the free school lunches thing that he had going on was incredible and we know that he would expand social programs if he were president, which is what we really need right now.

My next choice would be Andy Beshear, definitely not my first choice, nor would I vote for him in the primaries, but I certainly wouldn't be upset if he won the nomination, in fact I would be a little bit excited because while he is moderate on some issues, he hasn't sacrificed trans people
Ethis 🏳️⚧️ (@ethis.gay) reply parent
My first choice is JB pritzker, I know a lot of people are not very happy about the fact that he is a billionaire, I'm not either, but we have to be honest with ourselves that he would be a damn good Progressive president, and he would very likely and citizens united.
