Unless you got a couple of million bucks in your bank account…. Super fucked
This is an explosive opinion
This guy gets it, if the opposition party cares more about maintaining their legal bribes than punishing those doing the bribing and accepting the bribes then they bear an equal responsibility to the destination that those in the car are driven to.
Bernie was clearly ahead until the DNC gave all the other candidates marching orders to drop out and endorse a senile old man in severe cognitive decline to prevent any movement to the left that would threaten the legalized bribery the democratic party grows fat on.we could have had FDR 2.0 instead we got reagan and nixon’s bastard love child a second time because biden was such a sad excuse of an incoherent puppet he made jimmy carter look good and even as though a second carter administration would have been preferable.
Human civilization most likely wont be here anymore in 9 million+ years at the rate we are “progressing”
Omfg most musical thester people can barely play anything with 16th notes past 120bpm this will not end well lol
Its more like 9 people on a bus, 3 vote to drive off a cliff, 2 vote for a break to get ice ream and then continue driving towards the edge of the cliff after, 2 scream why the fuck are we continuing to drive towards the edge of the cliff, the other two believe things will just be the same regardless if they vote or not. Meanwhile the people who want other people to vote for a pitstop on the way to impending doom and death are complaining that the people with the most realistic assessment of the situation are being unreasonable, unrealistic and and/ or unwilling to compromise and if we are going to die anyway we might as well have some icecream (delay the inevitable and hope we can fix things before we get to the edge of the cliff but at this rate it looks like it’ll only get worse because one side turns the mechanism as far as they can get away with and the other ratchets back into a convenient position for the other side to turn the mechanism to their advantage again) this is the more accurate assessment and it’s because education standards were destroyed and the ego’s of people who are too gullible for their own good and don't understand the scope of the corporate apparatus/ system where the ultra rich all collude and work together because they have like interests and the people who don't want to understand this, or can’t because they are naive just keep telling us we need to continue to participate in a system that disenfranchises us not because its been temporarily broken and needs fixing through participation but instead because the entire purpose of the system is to disenfranchise us and the only solution is to implement democratic representation that addresses the economic issues being manipulated without our input or consent. Any system of democratic representation that aims to exclude economically democratic governance is nothing but a class dictatorship.
“The list” isnt so much a “list” as it is a compiled comprehensive list of all the people epstein video tapped in his comprehensively bugged properties (even the bathrooms were bugged with mics and pinhole cameras) from the hard drives thumb drives and cd’s the fbi found when they cut into the safe at the manhattan town house mansion they raided and who knows what else they found at his other properties. Bondi even said when defending the choice not to release “the list”/ Epstein files that “it is all child 🌽 and it’s disgusting and will never see the light of day” but are we to believe Epstein was downloading random CSAM from the dark web like a pleb? Or more believable is that this is a blatant admission that the DOJ has evidence of politically prominent officials, judges, scj’s executives bankers intell agents etc engaging in career ending acts of child sexual abuse and other actions who knows how awful and disgusting? Probably definitely the latter. And trump is implicated in what they have which is why he is flailing like a wounded animal basically saying Epstein case Material makes him look guilty without outright saying it just by saying its a democrat smear job. Thats how dumb this mother fucker is
I can do about 22% better and give those alligators 77 million meals. The image of torn maga hats in the everglades would really restore some sanity in the shithole that has become our US society
You need some perspective. Citizens didn't ubiquitously abandon their rights. But rather we have been the victims of a cold calculated class war waged upon us since nixon. It all began to fall apart 54 years ago and the ruling class solidified this reality with many actions firstly being the pardoning of Nixon. His nomination of Lewis F powell to the supreme court who was a vocal Fascist and set the stage for citizens united which legalized corruption and turned the corporatist nature of our institutions into an obvious reality. Nixon also ended the gold standard which was the first domino toppled that would inevitably devalue the us dollar intentionally to reduce the cost of labor that could not be outsourced and turn the working class into a low paid service industry of wage slaves. Reagan re legalizing stock buybacks and signing cafta which would become nafta sending every good manufacturing job and the 7 satelite roles for each of those jobs to the third world for 90-95%+ reduction in cost.
Meanwhile our education system was attacked (roger freeman who was advisor to both Nixon and reagan said the quiet part out loud when he said “We are on the verge of having a highly educated proletariat, this is dynamite! We need to be more selective about who we allow to go through higher education” they removed classes like automotive shop, wood shop, financial literacy, home economics art and music to make us dependent upon consumerism and unable to repair the goods we purchase to maintain our quality of life. This turned our education system into a conformity academy creating obedient workers and punishing those who broke the mold in order to produce generations of citizens just smart enough to run the machines but not smart enough to understand how ruthlessly we are being exploited and fucked Then our parents were inundated with the advent of entertainment television and were too distracted to understand the magic glowing box their leisure and recreation time revolved around was a propaganda dissemination device conditioning them to mindlessly support ideas and policies against their own self interests. And for a while journalism did it’s job there was something called the fairness in media doctrine where news programs had to devote an equal amount of time to both sides of an issue and there were attempts to legislate this into law but theu were vetoed by the Reagan administration and again by the bush senior administration and soon after fox news was born with the primary purpose of insuring no conservative presidential administration was ever held accountable for malfeasance the way nixon was ever again.even though he got off extremely light unfortunately and now we are where we are partly because of the failure of our social Institutions to seek justice for such blatant corruption. nevermind the unconstitutional and illegal war on drugs he unleashed which has been a tool to persecute leftists from the very beginning
And our elections are a total joke. Even if they weren't compromised true leftist economic populism has been eradicated from social discourse ever since LBJ declined the party nomination and then RFK was subsequently assassinated. And this was just one of over a dozen assassinations of popular leftist and left aligned leaders in a 2 decade time span.
Princeton did a study that showed the amount of influence one has on potential policy and legislation is directly proportional to your wealth with regular working class people having an irrelevant statistically near zero effect on any potential policy/ Legislation regardless how popular or unpopular it is. The media owned by the same billionaires who bribe both right wing parties in the usa just manufacture our consent and the majority just believe whatever they see that is convincing enough.
So the reality here is our entire sociopolitical system is corrupted by money. There is a class of ultra rich powerful people/ groups who legitimately believe they have divine provenance over society because of their socioeconomic status and can dk whatever they want with impunity. So the idea that they would for some reason see the us election system as being too sacred for them to manipulate in the same way they manipulate every other aspect of society, is just extremely naive.
In Germany the supreme court heard a case on election integrity sometime in the last 10-15 years (i can’t remember when exactly and Im too lazy right now to search and risk my rant be lost because of my shitty phone resetting the app) but their supreme court ultimately decided that electronic voting is unconstitutional because it is impossible to differentiate between fraudulent results and legitimate ones for any layperson who isn't a cybersecurity or IT expert.
There are many Americans who have allowed this and been convinced it’s a good thing but even they have been victimized to support something that is so blatantly antithetical to their own self interests. There are a very small amount of us who see what is happening and although we don't have a looking glass to see exactly how it happened we are smart enough to understand how we ended up where we are.
Probably some stuff I’m missing here. U could go on at addendum about how the world bank and imf are lying about the true measure of inflation to keep the working class from rioting and fomenting revolution and the passive income continuing to roll into the bank accounts of the super rich. So now the majority of Americans are so impoverished living paycheck to paycheck with no emergency savings and this renders us unable to organize and foment the revolution we need that is obliviously the only way since it is clear the system will not allow any remediation through it’s own mechanisms.
But yeah the only Americans you should be hard on are maga dipshits and neo liberals who honesty believe we can vote our way out of this obvious broken shitshow.
Remember when trump got a bunch of undocumented Eastern European (polish I believe) immigrants to do the demolition and excavation work on the property that would become trump tower through the connections of his mafia consiglieri McCarthyite fixer lawyer Roy Cohn (who also had connections to human trafficking rings and a home for orphaned boys in norther ireland that MI5 and MI6 were using to recruit children to be abused for the purposes of Kompromat farming and blackmail rackets almost identical to the kind of operation Epstein and maxwell(whom trump met several years after Cohn died in ‘86)were running and then when the immigrant labor team, who had been contracted to do the work due to their very low bid, was finished with the work they were reported to immigration enforcement and then deported and trump saved a bunch of money by not having to pay what was owed on their services….. and then trump did something similar in Atlantic City by just refusing to pay contractors because it was cheaper to fight them in court and or settle since most couldn’t afford legal representation and many ended up going bankrupt. Trump’s excuse for this was that they did bad work but many of the contractors whom he did this to, litigated against and settled with he had the audacity to request them to do more work after the fact. So i can imagine what kind of fraud he is going to pull on this monstrosity of a neo-gilded age ball room but I would expect at least for trump to pocket half of the over inflated estimate and them cut as many corners as possible to try and further skim more off the top. Like how has this fuck not been prosecuted for violating the emoluments clause? It should really also include family members acting on behalf of the president’s past present and future business interests. This administration and subsequently the entire country as a result are in such a mess. And we can thank Roy Cohn for teaching trump how to brazenly commit fraud and get away with it continuously.
I think you have misread what I said.
The richest 1% (3.4 million people) own 44.6 trillion. Half of that is 22.3 trillion so 22,300,000,000,000 divided by 336.6 million (336,600,000) and you're left with $66,646.74 now take the other half and divide it up amongst the 3.4 million richest 1% of Americans and they are left with $6,558,823.53 each
The fbi found hidden compartments full of CD’s hard drives and other digital media when they raided his manhattan 8 story townhouse mansion. There are pictures of this and then they all disappeared from chain of command custody. All his properties were bugged with pinhole cameras and microphones everywhere even in the bathrooms and there were surveillance monitoring computer control rooms in the basement. I don't believe a defacto “list” exists because people committing crimes even within the intelligence community don't just write down their criminal doings. But there are definitely videos of powerful wealthy people doing awful things to children and who knows what/who else.
Bondi said the files were all just a bunch of child 🌽 and would never see the light of day but she didn’t say if it was child 🌽 he randomly downloaded from the dark web(yeah right like anyone with a brain would believe that) or child 🌽 of the wealthy political elite individuals in his orbit abusing underaged minors and doing other career ending things filmed by Epstein.
You have my vote
The computer is unfortunately down, you will need to call our toll free line to get in touch with a live representative….

Dude when they raided epstien’s manhattan townhouse they had to cut into a safe that was filled with hard drives cds and thumb drives. All this digital media then conveniently disappeared from chain of command custody, but there were pinhole surveillance cameras and microphones in every room even the bathrooms and computer control room for the equipment in the basements of all his properties. A defacto list doesn’t exist but one can be extrapolated from the loads of digital media they found at his residence.
Well 5 eyes includes the uk and the usa and i would bet good money that israel is a silent partner in their intelligence sharing practices. Really it’s a question of who is pulling who’s strings and i think the nation state who is actively committing genocide ethnic cleansing and war crimes with the unwavering support of the most powerful nations in the world is likely the one calling the shots here.
Two peas in a pod if there are even that many…..
They just passed an “assault weapons ban” in my stare that has super low gun violence rates, and bans anything with a magazine, picatinny rails, forward grips, just ridiculous shit. Only 10 Republicans (the party pretending to be all for gun rights) voted against it which shows this is a concerted effort to disarm leftists and prevent us from arming ourselves while fascism breaks out in the usa and the two largest growing groups of gun owners are currently LGBTQ people and women of color. So yeah let’s concentrate weapons in the hands of police who are involved in every 1 Of twenty firearm homicides. As well as rich people and their paid mercenaries (thugs) it’s a great time to be an American
