Trump and co have 2 years (until the midterms) to bankrupt the US, let Bezos, Musk and Thiel buy whatever is left that can turn a profit (energy, utilities, etc.) and put loyalists in charge of the election in key states.
See USSR in the 90s.
Yeah but remember, ACAB /s
People like judge Jackson are what the US need right now.
Yeah if they were a real party for the people they wouldn’t need to search too long.
They see it as a problem because it challenges how they see the world. They have a hard time adjusting to how society has evolved, so rather than trying to change their beliefs they use their power to force the world to conform to their views.
Also, they’re fascist assholes.
And it’s surely the way Trump himself understands this. As we learned today, he keeps tabs on who’s on his side like the Mafia boss he is. The cities that dare ask him payment will be punished when he gets the occasion.
I’m not sure China is afraid of a revolution. See: Tiananmen square, and in 2024 they’ve got a surveillance system nobody can escape.
I like the example you chose because the facts reported support what I’m saying: eventually, if cops get too comfy planting evidence everywhere, someone down the line is going to notice and the judge will dismiss the case.
How is this related to the police planting evidence on suspects?
A lot of people on all platforms trying to explain why he kept his gun, why he was caught so easily, and most coming up with easy explanations that fit their conspiracy theories.
The simple explanation is, he might be smarter than most, but maybe not enough to outsmart the whole NYPD police department. Maybe he kept his gun because he didn’t want to leave a trace. Maybe he wanted to get caught peacefully in a McD rather than dying in a shooting.
Also, to those who still don’t believe he’s the killer: he is. Police don’t go capture a random dude and then plant every evidence on him “because they need a scapegoat”. There’s a whole judicial process that goes on after the arrest, and if he’s found not to be the killer, the police will have to go back to square one on a cold trail. They usually don’t want that.
According to Republicans, he wasn’t incompetent enough to run a federal agency.
The way I see this, they are stopping the proceedings so Trump’s AG won’t be able to end them officially, so they might be able to resume in four years.
He’s just seeing what Trump and the GOP are planning for the US and hopes he’ll be one of the oligarchs at the top in the end.
(…) you’re a racist AND dumb.
To a large extent you’re racist because you’re dumb.
For the last few months they’ve traded their dog whistles for blow horns. More and more hatred is being normalized.
Exactly. In any semi-functional democracy the government isn’t some abstract entity you have no power over, and it’s not monolithic either (you have municipal, regional and national levels). You vote for the people in it and they represent you.
The fact that they didn’t even try to hide their ssid (or at least, the report doesn’t say they did) shows how stupid people can be with cybersecurity.
We need a kind of everybody union.
In a democracy, that’s called a government.
Might be the American way, but it’s mainly Europe that will take the heat in an all out war against Russia.
Also, how does it end? Anyone really thinks Putin will surrender after 3-4 missiles hit Moscow? Come on.
Remember 2016. Everybody thought he would lose, said his campaign was a train wreck… He’s saying the same shit that got him elected last time.
So I wouldn’t say it’s unraveling. This is the kind of campaign that can make him win.
Never underestimate the destruction that stupid people in position of power can do.
