Yeah they will, don’t kid yourself, the prison guards will get bored.

Except that some of them actually do care, my friend. That’s what we’re seeing over the past week.

My friend, you could have called us “idealists” back then, but now you’re just fooling yourself. Hillary and Harris lost. They lost, your agenda lost, your agenda failed. But somehow you have the gall to accuse us of being “idealists” when your own ideals keep losing in the polls.

Why don’t we try something good, something that would actually benefit the people? Maybe that would actually work.

What would have happened if the finance industry had to regulate? Ask the history books. It has been done in the distant past, successfully, several times. And of course in other countries more recently, also successfully. It turns out that we can stop ultra rich from getting richer, but only if we have the courage to try. Maybe someday you will find it.

You seriously don’t remember when Obama went the pro-corporate road at the expense of the American people, or even the globe itself? Really?

The Affordable Care Act. The bailout. The housing bubble collapse. The drone strikes. Letting the courts get stacked. The continued wars in Iraq and Afghanistan… My god, that’s like every major issue, isn’t it?

Of course he wasn’t alone. I’m not blaming him as the only person responsible. But he was responsible, he was a lackluster president at best, and he spent eight years pushing the country towards where it is right now. Millions of us were saying that at the time, and we still are today. If you weren’t listening, that’s your own fault. If you didn’t believe us, that’s your own fault.

Mr. Obama, you caved on all of the major issues. You were a great candidate, an amazing speech giver, and a mediocre president. And that’s OK – we would be happy with mediocre today – but you don’t get to tell us what’s good for the party when you are the perfect example of its biggest problem.

Lol read the news already. MAGA is pissed off at him for this entire issue.

The video footage was doctored. Maybe innocuously, maybe not, but the files that were supposed to be the originals had been edited multiple times with Adobe software.

See other posts for articles detailing this. It’s easy enough to confirm. (That alone doesn’t prove extreme badness, but it does prove intent to deceive the public, as if we needed more.)

He’s not criticizing the country. He’s criticizing the military and the political leadership. There’s a very big difference between the two. It’s actually a major issue in bad political reporting that people will conflate those entirely distinct entities.

That’s what Hillary said. That’s what Harris said. They lost, you’re lost, and it’s sad that you don’t understand why.

In reality we have a lot of political power. We don’t just choose from the options that magically appear in front of u in cute binary packages. That’s not what happens every day of our lives.

You could have used ad blockers. You could have done any number of things. You were not forced to use YouTube as it is. But I understand … It is hard to recognize that we actively consume media. It is hard to think from perspective.

If you’re renting, maybe it’s not your problem. The landlords jack us for rent, so we mess with their drains. Meh.

Should we respect our landlords, you might ask? That depends on them. Respect is earned.

Honestly, did you look at any of the pictures? You think people with delicate health conditions should be sent there? Really?

Also, I’m assuming you’re genuine, but there are many people who post similar comments, things like “All lives matter.” And yes, human life is worth respect, but at the same time, you don’t want to be confused with a bigoted troll.

Call it what it is: a concentration camp, a death camp, or perhaps Alligator Auschwitz.

Alcatraz housed convicted felons. This place is housing non-criminals. Immigration is a civil infraction, like a parking ticket. If you ever stole something from the store or got in a fight, you’re more of a criminal than these folks.

Hey sure, “didn’t know” but that’s a low bar. How about “could easily have guessed” as the basic standard for morality when death camps are involved?

Although that sounds cynical, I think it’s often the opposite. People learn what their job actually is, and they do it, and good for them. :-)

Good. Patriotism leads to nationalism, xenophobia, and racism.

Not really. Musk was a snake oil salesman for years. The people who believed in him were foolish to do so, all of that long before his salute and his budget concerns. We should also remember that fascists don’t have a long game. They really are as ridiculous as they appear. There was no possibility for Trump or Musk to maintain a positive image, except through brute force threats.

Just stop enforcing the DMCA on American work. Or, how about no more US copyright law in Canada? That would be exciting.

It was always a pipe dream, my friend. If you stop smoking, you might see reality… In other words, your only mistake was sobriety.

Right, but he can’t raise income tax very much, and he needs money to give to all the rich fuckers, so a big federal sales tax “disguised” as a tariff is a decent way to raise funds.
