  • Bartiromo started college at C. W. Post before transferring to New York University.[10] During her college years, she worked at the same betting parlor where her mother worked.[16] She graduated from NYU’s Washington Square Campus in 1989[17] with a Bachelor of Arts in journalism and economics.[1]

    So she’s an Italian American in Brooklyn who worked her way through college in the same “betting parkor” her mom worked at, which from further reading sounds like an OTB (off-track betting, they’re all over NYC and LI). I’m betting she’s been around a bunch of drunk gambling addicts which isn’t very mentally healthy, so her moral compass is probably a bit broken, and Trump acting like a mafioso all the time probably deeply appeals to her, because those are the type of people she’s grown up around, because NYC is full of Italian Americans acting like they’ve got mob connections, especially when they don’t.


  • It’s long island and they most likely will, my pop’s a retired cop and they took his gun away for saying something dumb to the wrong person until he went to court and proved himself in court, and then they still made him go through anger management. However the supreme Court just struck down a bunch of rulings that may let him fight it more than my dad could at the time.

    Of all the states in terms of gun control NY is one of the strictest, and growing up on Long Island and in and around the city, there’s nothing like the gun culture that is pervasive in the American South and West, there is virtually no gun culture in NYC, it’s hidden and quiet, or at least it was when I was growing up there.










  • People shouldn’t be forced to be trapped in their shitty marriages if they don’t want to be, and not everyone needs a reason to fall out of love, or to realize they were never in love, sometimes it just happens, love is just brain chemistry and the focus of that love tends to change over your lifetime, so divorces shouldn’t need to be proven, all a divorce should need is one side calling it quits on the marriage, and we all should learn to respect that.








  • What you’re asking about is a much larger issue than even the MAGAts have anything to do with, but the people behind the MAGAts are definitely responsible for, overall the country is a mess because of internal and external forces working together to make it so, and decades of planning by the American Right wing, as well as the worsening conditions that these people have ignored, such as climate change, income inequality, and many other issues that are the culmination of decades of ignorance and exploitation.

    Also a lot of the problem has nothing to do with Trump’s Qult and everything to do with the class warfare being waged on us by the greedy upper class, we’re battling through inflation, shrinkflation, enshittification, and a whole variety of other things that are ultimately the fault of the wealthy and their political and corporate proxies.

    Ultimately Trump may be part of the wealthy class but he’s their tool, their shepherd to the racist ultra conservative Libertarian land that they’ve dreamed of ever since the first time they imagined themselves as John Galt after reading Atlas Shrugged, this is why Trump is funded by Ruzzia, but more importantly by the Mercers and other conservative American billionaires.



  • This topic specifically is how many of the well known gangs of Chicago and LA were formed, like the Crips originally being formed to eliminate gangs to become a neighborhood watch, or the Latin Kings forming to combat racist acts of violence and depredation, there are a lot of similar instances over the decades (maybe even centuries) but ultimately a legitimized citizens militia or neighborhood watch that can react to circumstances would probably be a good alternative, but we all know what happened when the Black Panthers tried to fill this niche.
