Vice President JD Vance traveled to Capitol Hill late Wednesday to cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate that killed a bipartisan effort to rebuke President Donald Trump’s trade policy.
Earlier in the evening, the Senate rejected the resolution that would have effectively blocked Trump’s global tariffs by revoking the emergency order the president is using to enact them. Two senators who were set to vote for the resolution, Republican Mitch McConnell and Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse, were absent, allowing the resolution to fail 49-49.
Were you beaten as a child? Exploited for labor, derided for showing emotions? What lessons do you think that kind of suffering teaches? Do you think suffering builds character?
You say you are “willing to take the pain.” Then immediately admit you won’t feel as much pain as your ‘lessers’ but it’s okay because it’ll teach them. Those ‘unlucky others’ are people who will die. Do you hate your neighbors so much you will let them die after they’ve been lied to and gaslit by the owning class for decades?
Hurt people have two options; keep hurting those around them, or do their best to advocate, educate, and protect their community from further harm.
Which do you think works better in the long run?
I looked through their comments because I was curious if they’re actually a piece of shit, or if they’re just having a bad take or a bad day. No, that’s actually what they believe. They have some fascinating opinions on how zoomers and gen alpha are effectively inferior to millennials.

“I know a computer word so I’m smarter than an entire generation of people”.
Ask a millennial to hook up a horse to a carriage, or to iron a shirt. Shits wild on how uniformed these generations on average are.
Don’t mistake your competency with the technology of your generation with superiority.
Sir, this is a Lemmy. Our computers don’t have that, they have
GRUBidk,systemd-bootor some shit.EDIT: Of course it’s a real thing.
Did you not realize that the younger you are, the worse you are going to be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on: nuclear proliferation from Trump’s new world disorder, global warming, spread of Fascism, massive debt on tax cuts for billionaires, gutting of government infrastructure and services, new victimless crimes, etc? The Boomers aren’t going to be the ones who pay the worst price for Treason Trump’s massive enshitification program.
You see how you sound? You have knowledge that you needed and wanted. Just like boomers needed and wanted to understand how cars worked. Kids don’t need to debug or reformat or rotate PDFs, and so they don’t know how. It’s a skill, it’s not intelligence.
So, with all that said…
OK Boomer.
There’s literally no way that wasn’t a troll

The country didn’t vote to give Traitorapist Trump the power to illegally bypass the authority of congress. And nobody was expecting that Trump was going to impose way worse tariffs than the Smoot Hawley Tariffs of 1930 which created 23.6% unemployment 2 years later and was passed by congress, not illegally imposed by a president.
