oh yeah, it’s all gone, he’s for the oligarch media owners, expect pirate sites to be nuked across the board, expect internet access to be 10x more expensive, expect vpn’s to be curtailed if not outlawed outright. it’s the end of all things. this is no hyperbole.

antisemitism

Israelis should be able to attend sporting events, and cheer on their team internationally, just like everyone else, without the fear of violence.

bullshit

Kamala Harris lost every swing state AND the Senate. We live in the same country we did 4 years ago, we live in the same country that elected Barrack Obama twice.

People are paying 50% more for bread, eggs, and rent, with no relief given, no corporate greed stiffled BEFORE it hit average Americans in the face, and just kept hitting them. The average American doesn’t care about economic numbers, they care about whether or not they can pay the rent.

Trump isn’t going to make any of this better, he’s going to make it ordinates worse. People vote for change, when faced with the inevitability of suffering they’ll vote for different, come what may.

well, no, brexit only fucked over great britain, re-electing trump fucked over the entire planet, ukraine and taiwan specifically, but the entire free world is going to suffer from american disengagement. whole lot more people going to be speaking russian in the next two years. for the folks who think america only fucked themselves, lol, thereastormacomin meme springs to mind, and i for one, apologize in advance for what we’ve done

I’m not sure where this cafe you can get waited on is selling a hamburger, fries, and a coke, with tax and tip, coming out less than $20, but if it’s edible, definitely, I’d eat there if I had the choice. The difference between the cheapest sit down restaurant and fast food is almost down to nothing, but fast food is still the cheapest thing you’re going to find, and the fast food companies know this, which is why they’re comfortable raising the prices. They’re attitude is if you don’t want to pay our prices, eat at home, but we know you’re not going to do that.

Just about every single Internet platform or service which you can now access for free, will cease to be free. Internet access itself will be 3 to 4 times more expensive. Digital Surveillance will increase geometrically across the board.

Don’t know, but we’re gonna find out. Exciting times. Oh, and get ready to pay 3x as much for your internet access, and to have all torrent sites nuked from orbit.

I’d like to see a Constitutional Crisis, please

I dunno, remind me, how many were caught up in the purposefully sandbagged and ineptly mismanaged Global Viral Pandemic response? Were there outsized numbers of the disabled and elderly caught on the wrong side of Trump’s incoherent actions? It was worse than anyone could have predicted it could be, we thought American democratic guardrails in the security space would manage the moron, and they couldn’t

Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution, which provides: The President … shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States

In order to change that, would need a Constitutional Amendment, which require ratification from 38 out of 50 states, so, unlikely

offline groups will be monitored, it will take the state, or state friendly associates, manpower to provide that level of surveillance, but as we saw in the soviet union, when there’s no hope, and nothing else to strive for, watching your neighbor becomes entertainment and employment. i’m not saying do nothing and stay home in the dark, i’m just saying be very aware of the universe we are all going to find ourselves living in a year from now.

no

you’re sincerely asking americans, when is enough? dude

The US? pretty fucking fucked. The World, so fucked it has no idea how truly fucking fucked it is yet.

I mean, ok, what do they want us to do with that information today. The world is going to end tomorrow. This could have been usefull news to have broken, say, last month when it could have swung the needle from putin dicksucker trump. Today it’s mania inducing, and that’s never smart in a country with 350 million firearms in civilian circulation.

Well, for the good, it’s a hard get these days, but for the bad, all one has to do is look at Donald Trump as the lightning rod to finally push through Republican Southern Strategy 60 years after they first foisted it on the body politic

When you look the other way while Gaza hosts Hamas, and Lebanon hosts Hezbollah, and Syria hosts Iranian weapons shipments, when they all attack Israel with Iranian funded rockets and incursions, the fucking around part, and only pipe up when Israel responds in the attempt to defend itself and wipe out it’s enemies, because it’s enemies are embedded in civilian populations for the sole reason of ginning up your support when Israel is forced to respond, the finding out part, then you’re a supporter of Terrorism.

If the fucking around part doesn’t get you to speak up, but only the finding out part does, bad news, you’re an antisemite.

tfw you realize it’s not about the money, it’s about the power the money affords you, the ability to destroy entire democracies
