I was browsing Epstein’s black book yesterday, and it is actually a little alarming how many Kennedys are in there. I know an address book isn’t the same as a client list, but it does mean that they most likely knew one another.
I also learned that Minnie Driver as of 2008 or so, when this black book was seized as part of an investigation, used an EarthLink.net email address lol
I saw a clip of Trump speaking in 2020 this morning as I did my daily video catch-up over coffee, and it really struck me how much sicker he looks now compared to just 5 years ago, where he already looked like a wet mop on a clothing line.
I know the Presidency ages you, but that’s regular presidents who work. Something else is aging this guy this quickly.
Yes. There is no Merlin in a tower exacting immaculate designs through an orb on a table here — it’s just a bunch of people who were raised on the dark liquor of grievance culture who were given power. They’re all taking out their grievances. That’s gonna be the entire story of the next however long. Measure your place in that paradigm and plan accordingly.
If Iranian hackers were so elite, they would have done something cool like erased student loan debt. Instead, they’re busy toppling Minecraft servers and trying to find anything they can use other than cell phones or pagers. Terribly un1337 of you, Ayatollah.
Y’all know why there aren’t any more Robber Barons right? ✊👷
It’s been a long way down for one of Reddit’s top powermods.
(I don’t care if it’s debunked, it’s simply a conspiracy theory I choose to believe. It’s too perfect.)
Well this shit is gonna trigger a recession
Most countries give up when they are only one gun away from total peace.
“Most of us aren’t armed”? Homie US citizens own 120 guns per 100 people. The fucking answer to absolutely every problem here, left or right, has been to arm themselves. We have literally never had more left-wing people carrying pistols.
Like Jesus Christ, someone got shot and killed at the ‘No Kings’ rally in Idaho, and all three parties involved were left-wing. I am not sure what planet you’re on, but it ain’t Earth.
Oh yeah, that aughta do it.
I think that’s a fair point. But I still don’t think that King Grifter is going to do anything other than grift — the precarious position of his regime really would only seek to encourage graft, as he knows he won’t be punished for it and he knows it can’t last forever.
Naw. That’s just what they’re saying to appease the slavering, gnashing teeth of American conservatives. Virtually all of that money is just going into a black hole, and right into the offshore bank accounts of Trump’s cronies.
It’s what Russia did — why would Trump run the playbook any differently?
Dear God, please let this happen because it would be so fucking funny, amen
That aughta do it! pats dust off hands
It certainly does feel like a worldwide phenomenon, doesn’t it? Hopefully that means there is a worldwide ‘awakening from a bad dream’, too.
You are glossing over how many casualties that the US endured compared to Iraqis or Afghans. Sure, the Taliban still exists nominally, but Afghanistan endured at least 46,000 civilian deaths, with Iraq enduring at least 100,000 — the US tallied less than 8,000 deaths total.
What happened is that we basically used their countries as a sandbox to maintain our war readiness and funnel money into the pockets of the personal friends of Dick Cheney and his various warhawk confidantes. It was, at its most generous, a massacre, which is what civilian resistance will be, too.
All of this mental Rambo work is paralyzing people from taking any action at all as they retreat inwards and wait for doomsday. It is making us give up on diplomacy sooner.
One thing I have observed about my fellow Usonians is that we all seem to have this strange, misplaced trust that eventually, ONE of our previous institutions will save us.
People crow about how the 2nd amendment will be what helps us prevent tyranny, but also seem to completely gloss over the fact that our police and military operate on an entirely different power level than citizens do. I have watched the US military terrorize people in Afghanistan and Pakistan for 20 years. Why do we think we would do any better against it?
I genuinely feel bad for Justice Jackson. She is competent and thoughtful, and appears to appreciate how consequential the Supreme Court can be. She was an actual successful lawyer. I think she went into this expecting to make a difference, and, instead, we have the Roberts Court.
Feels a lot like being assigned to your bully for a class project. They’re not only gonna make you do all the work, they’re gonna make you feel like shit while doing it.
Damnit. I wanted to be optimistic and skeptical that this wouldn’t happen exactly the way the internet said it would. >:(
