Republican propaganda says government spending on healthcare, schools, and middle class Americans is bad, but why do they always increase the budget for the military?

How much of this $1.5 trillion goes to our elected oligarch class? To Trump’s family? To Israel?

We can’t afford healthcare for Americans but we can afford to give Don Jr, Eric, and Jared outrageous government contracts.

We have seen a wave of posters attacking the DSA, and “socialism” in the form of single payer healthcare. These people are silent on the current state of our corrupt, grifting, government.

The DSA is the only party whose platform focuses on American people.

#1 get foreign influence out of our politics

#2 repeal citizens united and limit campaign finance donations thoroughly

#3 single payer healthcare, taxing the rich, and more programs for middle class Americans

After virtue signaling about a Maine candidates sexual misconduct, conservatives ignore Florida Representative Corey Mills sexual assault allegations

Somehow a main candidates sexual misconduct is bigger news than an elected Florida representative (even in Florida).

Corey Mills survived the House disciplinary committee after his multiple girlfriends and his ex wife came out with allegations of sexual assault, domestic violence, and revenge porn.

Allegedly the DOJ is investigating him for a list of crimes from sexual assault to campaign finance misconduct.

The right conveniently no longer believes women, or cares about sexual assault (the had a short stint of caring during the Platner debacle).

Let’s see if this story garners over 30 posts in a day and multiple weeks of BP coverage.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/cory-mills-florida-republican-under-investigation-justice-department-rcna588637

Here is BPs coverage of Mills previous scandal where his DC girlfriend filed a restraining order only to be stalked and threatened after. Note he also has a wife in Florida. 3 other women came forward to share similar stories of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.

https://youtu.be/iCSQhDpg9bI?is=sVNVL7s1nORkj12j

Now onto Ohio Rep Max Miller whose 2 year old daughter was rushed to the emergency room with bruises resembling a handprint sustained from an impact. Miller alleges the injury was caused by a seatbelt, but after rushing the 2 year old to the emergency room the mother of his child (and ex-wife) told detectives she does not rule out domestic violence (from Max Miller) as he has previously thrown hot water on her, held her at gunpoint, and shoved her.

Ohio Rep Max Miller is running for reelection as a Republican. Conservatives conveniently no longer care.

How China “stole” voter rolls (that are available to the general public)

That’s right, those dirty thieves! They stole the voting records of Americans right from under our noses. This proves election fraud!

But wait, voter rolls are public information in most states. In fact, all but 5 restrict requests to specific groups. Does China have the top secret Wyoming voter rolls? Or maybe Trump lied? It can’t be. The president is a moral conservative Christian, he would never lie about voter fraud.

Trump threatens Canada with new tariffs over “filthy air” entering the US from Canadian wildfires

How many allies must we threaten and shift closer to diplomatic ties with China. Trump truly is a Manchurian candidate. The idiots that still support him (primarily because they’re white nationalist and hate immigrants) are a lost cause.

Since some are tired of hearing the truth, Republicans do you get tired of Trump lying to your face?

Some call it “Doomerism” when BP covers the President, economy, diseases spreading, social consequences of DOGE, and war in Iran. Especially, when they bring on experts that have different opinions than the President or his administration.

Do these people get tired of Trump lying to their face? Last night was just one of his many lies he’s carried on for almost 6 years. Election fraud in the 2020 election. He was the president by the way!

Let’s do a poll in the comments.

Khanna/Ball 2028

I’m a little late to the Khanna video as I originally read it on an article from Reuters.

I’ve seen enough. What would we think of a Ro Khanna/Krystal Ball ticket for 2028? I think this would be peak, and lead to actual results for our nation.

Trump V. IRS: Judge that overturned Trump’s corrupt $1.776 Billion dollar slush fund refers Trump Lawyers to the bar for sanctions, including acting AG Blanche

Three days before acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is due to come before the senate judiciary committee for possible confirmation as the permanent AG, he faces a hurdle from the judge that struck down his corrupt deal with the Trump admin.

This deal was the most blatantly corrupt deal in my life. Immunity for Trump and his family from all IRS audits AND a $1.776 billion dollar slush fund.

I’m interested to see how Trump supporters defend this, why they still support this level of theft and corruption, and how this scandal will affect the AGs office.

A redditor claimed this sub is full of bots

Whenever a large group of people have an opinion different than yours they must be bots, right?

I don’t even know what evidence these “everyone is a bot” people have about this sub, or Reddit in general.

Let me introduce you to the first 30 minutes to an hour of every single BP video (or news/finance related video) on YouTube.

Disclaimer, I do not recommend typing the scam name into google, you can type it into YouTube to see scam videos associated with it, but beware they are scams. If they ask for your financial or personal information, or to invest in anything, do not do it. Also, I can remove the name in the spoiler at the mods request.

I was watching Fox News spread warmongering propaganda this morning (video posted 43 minutes ago). 80% of the comments all mention >!Grokvantis!< ,a crypto “AI Token” scam.

“Everyone around me thought I was crazy for joining [scam name] early…jokes on them”

“They’re all strangely quite about [scam name], but this is the real source behind all of these little and big distractions”

“If enough people know about [scam name] the US will be a different place”

“[scams name] is the only thing that tackles the root of the problem”

“Trump probably wasn’t into [scam name] initially, but it’s the positive shift we need”

These are about the first 200 comments in any given YouTube video, they’re usually deleted some time after the mass spam wave ends. You will notice this during the first hour of BP videos as well.

https://youtu.be/BPkJpm05Hqs?is=tzwG6DDpvLalAi1q

Why are alleged Reddit bots on this sub so different? So focused on arguing and not scamming? Able to have dynamic conversations and varied opinions.

I remember one particular DavidOfBethlahem, told me this sub is all bots made to downvote his posts. (Kind of a bad roi for bots, but whatever lol). This isn’t even a big sub. Who is behind the bots here? Why are they so different than the BP YouTube bots?

Is there a massive data center somewhere operating exclusive to have high functioning AI bots argue with DavidOfBethlahem and leave downvotes on his posts only?

Rest In Peace to the 500,000 civilians killed in Iraq

It’s a shame our politicians lied to us about weapons of mass destruction and convinced the population that killing 500,000 innocent civilians across the world was the American way.

I just randomly wanted to pay my respects to the dead. The women, the children, the young adults with dreams. These were wiped away by the lies of a few powerful men and women.

May they innocent rest in peace.

Trump subpoenaed NY Times journalists for reporting on his Qatari Jet

Something something, freedom of speech.

I’m sure we will hear all about this from the right since they’re obsessed with telling us about lack of freedoms in the UK.

5 journalists were served subpoenas by federal agents.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/business/media/new-york-times-trump-subpoenas.html

This is not the only attack on free speech from the Trump admin that has been sending federal agents to intimidate his political opponents over their criticisms of his administration.

A New York man is suing the federal government for agents showing up at his home to “warn him” after he sent an email to the acting ICE commissioner that was critical of their practices.

3 Weeks Ago, Trump said strategic oil reserves would run out in 4 weeks without and Iran deal

Firstly, I apologize profusely that this isn’t a post about Graham Platner. I understand that an unelected official in main deserves a new post every 30 minutes. I also understand that Maine Senate Candidates are more news worthy than silly stuff about the President and status of the entire nation. Shame on me for have TDS.

Now to the point, the US and other nations like China have been steadily releasing reserves and, in the case of China, reducing oil consumption in order to keep the price of oil down amid the Hormuz strait closure.

3 weeks ago Trump said we would run out of oil in 4 weeks without an Iran deal? What does that mean it means the Strategic Reserves would hit their minimum operating threshold and there would be hurdles to additional releases without a nationally declared emergency. It means gas prices will be expected to absorb the hit of the supply chain disruption. It means Congress may be incentivized to step in and assert control over this conflict.

When you’re at the pump and your wallet is hurting, just know that it’s TDS to notice. It’s TDS to be confused by we don’t need 40 post a day about Maine senate candidates with all that is going on. It’s actually TDS to do anyone other than blame Obama and Biden for the current state of the economy.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Trump comments about the strategic reserves were previously covered by the BP Team.

Trump Discloses $500 million dollar gain from his crypto scams

The amount of corruption knows no end. I suspect he will rely on mass pardons to avoid any accountability.

Edit: Yahoo finance claims $1.4 billion in total crypto related earnings including $635 million dollar “licensing agreement” for crypto coins bearing his name.

Conquering Greenland for Endless Shrimp at Red Lobster

Imperialism is back on the menu, and it comes with a side of cocktail or tater sauce.

Shout out to Kyle for bringing this ridiculous story to my attention. It highlights how shamelessly imperialist we have become, and also how incompetent the Trump administration is.

“My view is that the United States could take all the seafood Greenland could produce, and cut out the middleman, and keep it from China — and you could bring back all-you-can-eat shrimp at Red Lobster” ~ Thomas Dans, Trump appointed chairman of the US Arctic Research Commission

This has to be the most delicious way to fracture your NATO alliance and conquer a sovereign nation. Idiocracy in real life.

Jesse Watters: …after we topple Castro, we’re going to be able to buy 100 acres of pristine Cuban coastline for like 50 Gs

BP has covered the warmongering of the right during the Trump admin. It seems like some Republicans are already clamoring at the idea of getting rich off of overthrowing Cuba.

The Epstein class is dreaming of a time when the US ran Cuba. Pristine coastline. A quick boat or jet trip from your family in Miami or Palm Beach. In 30 minutes you could be waist deep in poor Cuban women (and girls if your name if Trump or Epstein), legal cocaine, and your own beachside estate at a fraction of what it would cost in the US. You’ll be back at Mar-a-Lago before dinner.

Oh yeah, and we save them from communism or something like that.

Ole Jesse boy is giving us insight into what the Epstein class is really focused on in Cuba.

Beginner Advice

I’ve been Zwifting for 2 months now, so I’m still a beginner myself. I feel like the advice I’ve gotten from YouTubers and on this sub has been somewhat poor for beginners. It’s also like their advice is catered toward advanced bikers that have transitioned to Zwift vs people new to the sport all together.

The common advice is save drops until canyon Aeroed, keep the mount Everest challenge selected until you get the Tron bike, and rush ADZ to get the wheels. Not bad advice, but I feel like it’s catered to people who want to race right out the gate, even before improving their abilities.

Here is my advice as a beginner speaking to other beginners.

Race during events, but don’t focus on racing entirely as you may get discouraged by poor finishes.

Collect beautiful bikes and enjoy the journey.

Spend drops on upgrades! Buy a Zwift TT and Zwift Aero ASAP, and work on maxing them out alongside the Zwift Steel (or Carbon). This progresses you toward upgrading the Tron Bike.

Skip the Canyon Aeroed, your first major upgrade should come from the “Ride California” challenge as it progresses you toward the Specialized Halo Bike.

Buy the Princeton Wheels, Specialized Climbing bike (forgot the name), and S-Works SL8. You will now have 3 Zwift bikes and 3 specialized bikes to progress you to each brands Halo Bike.

On every flat put on the “Ride California” challenge (specialized bike reward), on every climb put on the “Ride Mt Everest Challenge”, when descending after a climb switch to a bike that requires miles to be upgraded and switch back to the “Ride California” challenge.

Focus on the time limited challenges that provide bonus XP, XP boosted events, and robo group rides, in that order.

The “Route of the Week” is usually the route for event races, bonus xp rides, etc. Just fire up an event and check the route instead of free riding the route of the week.

When chasing bonus XP for new routes match it with a workout of similar timing.

You can stack bonus XP challenges, first time route XP, and workouts. Plan accordingly.
