Fair. I meant more that we should do away with the term as it’s a propagandized and charged term

I’m baitin’

Leader of the western, capitalist, corpo-military complex sure…but “leader of the free world” is a bit hyperbolic no?

Us economy is driven by the military industrial complex. Taxpayer funded defense “aid” is given to countries, only for them to turn around and buy american weapons with said aid, thus funneling the money into private pockets. Legislature “pork” was/is notorious for kickbacks to local manufacturing plants for various military equipment. The entire scheme of “global defense” that the US has pushed over the last 70 years has been driven by the desire to monopolize military production and sales on a global scale. Sanctions are imposed on countries which otherwise agree ideologically with what the US professes are its ideals because those countries purchase arms from the US competitors, while notably hostile countries like Saudia Arabia are propped up bc they are good for business. Israel aid is given to be spent on US arms. The US doesn’t give a shit how countries use their arms, as long as they’re buying. Without the military industrial complex, much of the domestic economy would likewise grind to a halt. Hell, the US military is the biggest domestic employer. The system is simply not set up for a massive paradigm shift like that, though imo it’s going to have to happen eventually because the current, unsustainable system is reaching it’s last leg and starting to topple over.

Do you get off on having the absolute worst takes on every single thread, or are you legitimately that stupid?

Are the caravans in the room with us right now?

So who in the Democratic party gets to play kingmaker?

The same party insiders who’ve played kingmaker during the last two primaries

Absolutely. “Oh we can’t enforce federal healthcare mandates? OK, well, we sure as fuck can choose and enforce who gets federal tax exemption status, so get fucked”

You’re thinking about it all wrong. They’re just trying to create the right set of conditions to produce the next Turing and kickstart the development of true AGI.

He’s no Jesus. Certainly no fucking Elvis.

Have his tangible assets (buildings, cash…etc) confiscated since they’re all, for the most part, tied to numerous fraudulent misrepresentations and crimes, and fucking jail him and throw away the key like they would for any other non-wealthy or politically connected fellon. We’ve all seen him commit crimes on TV, brag about them publicly, admit to them multiple times, his co-conspirators have been sentenced and gone to jail in cases where he’s named as a party, and yet we’re still doing “more investigations” and lining up cases so they’re “just right.” This level of genuflection and weasel wording wouldn’t even be fathomable for a normal person. “Oh but he has money to fight” - yeah that’s the fucking problem. 99% of the shit I’ve seen him and his attorneys throw at the courts just to gum up the works would get any other attorney and/or defendant laughed out of the court room. Start heavily sanctioning his attorneys for making a mockery of the court, start dismissing his bullshit staling with extreme prejudice…etc. We have the solution - we use it every single day against hundreds of thousands of normal people caught up in the system. Yet this one single turd is somehow above it and continues to get the kid glove treatment.

Baring all that…maybe invest the investigation money in a 10 year supply of hamberders and diet cokes and send it to him so he hopefully fucking croaks before the election.

Yeah but is any of that going to stop him from potentially becoming President again? From committing more crimes? End up with him in actual jail or facing any real, non-monetary slap-on-wrist punishment?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating doing nothing. My argument is that this course of action ain’t it bc it doesn’t address the root of the problem: the open secret that wealth and privilege operates in an entirely different criminal and justice system, and the dog and pony show they’re putting on here will only affect the small fall guys while the orange asshole continues to skate away unscathed

Strap some guns to the drones, and you can do both at once. No need for cops to ever put themselves in “danger” by going out and doing actual community policing. Just deploy the drone and spray from a safe distance while sitting behind a game controller

What are they going to do about it? Whine that “he can’t do that!” Toothless and pointless as always

Better solution: enforce public campaign funding and ban all private donations and funding/advertising for political campaigns.

Serious question: what, in your opinion, makes Aljazeera a non-credible news source? And what, in turn, do you consider examples of credible news sources on the subject?

1. It’s not illegal. 2. “Law” isn’t a real thing in an oligarchy, except insofar as it can be used by those with capital and resources to oppress and subjugate those they consider their lessors and to further perpetuate the system for self gain

You know that “anti commercial AI license” shit does nothing, right? It’s the equivalent of idiots posting that wall of text on Facebook a decade or so ago saying they don’t give Facebook permission to use their pictures, posts…etc.

I mean if it makes you feel better and gives you a sense of control in an otherwise out-of-your-control environment then I suppose go for it, but you’re not actually accomplishing anything other than making yourself feel slightly better and more deluded.
