I think you’re right to a degree, I do think Covid wouldn’t have been AS bad as under Trump. And the GOP still could’ve marched right into a win in 2020, but those years prior when he was president were still extremely damaging to both the sanity and structure of this country. The Supreme Court nominees alone would leave us in a wildly different state not to mention everything else he did to fan the flames of xenophobia and bigotry
Definitely hope everyone in the area stays safe… couldn’t help but think how crazy it would be for an earthquake in northwest Indian Ocean right now
This is both accurate and upsetting, and a step further, had he lost in 16, to anybody. I don’t think he’d have had a chance in 20 if he even ran.
I think that is what made Trump decide to highjack the fascist movement in American that had been being cultivated for years. Who knows how ‘16 would’ve gone with Paul Ryan or whoever they trotted out against Hilary
Goddamn it, now I know I have something in common with Kash Patel
Correct, I’m from the south, my school was actually well funded especially in comparison to most, and if I weren’t naturally curious with an eye for the spurious I wouldn’t know about any of the riots all across the south, not about race but about wages and taking down bosses. Shit I just recently found out i had kin take part in the textile strikes and riots during that time that was just never discussed
Shit my health teacher in 2003 taught us that, showed us James Dobsons interview with Ted Bundy where he claimed that’s what made him a violent monster, in retrospect it’s very clear that Bundy is playing Dobson and telling him exactly what he wanted to hear.
I’m similarly inclined from experience but before my favorite sports team won back to back championships they let me down and broke my heart for 30 years. I guess I’m a glutton for disappointment but I want to be hopwful
I’ve seen a bunch of reports, none were live streamed so they haven’t broken through. Some are probably actually accidental but I doubt they all are, additionally the Molotovs thrown at Sam Altman house and a Tesla dealership. I believe I heard something about one at a Raytheon office.
There’s a lot of chaff I haven’t completely sorted through but again im hopeful
I’d say the majority of equipment and devices in the POS sector of IT make this version of the bill wildly impractical and doomed from the start. They’ll either have to redraft it to specifically be about consumer devices or the retail, restaurant, and c-stores sectors will be up shits creek.
Generally you’re correct, but the string of warehouse fires over the past week all across the country has me hopeful that folks are finally hitting the long long long long long overdue breaking point.
And we should all collectively decide those families don’t get to exist anymore! But we don’t
I just shivered in disgust, well done
Podcasts also have a very intimate quality that creates connection and credibility in its listeners, that’s why the medium creates cult like followings. Shit it’s basically the same gimmick as FDRs fire side chats
No one on this planet can convince me that she’s not been a 2 pack a day smoker since she was 10. It’s the only thing that makes sense
They collectively believed in it so much that they manifested him into reality without realizing
Is this another good reason to switch to HeadScale or Netbird?
Not now Anakin! Go fight some sand or children!
I’ve wondered once or twice whether or not the reason the American cult of the military saw such a rise in the minds of the average American over my lifetime is because we haven’t had a real war against anything close to military peer since I was born. Not discounting the effect 9/11 had which was profound, but when people don’t see the true carnage of war and the sacrifices that have to be made when it’s close to even footing they forget why most war is bar
Also proves it’s a cult
