We need to follow David's advice about primary-ing corporate Democrat incumbents that won't do anything except fight progressives and their candidates. Notice how that proposal got the Democrats to perk up and denounce that idea immediately? They literally prove, everyday, why they are unfit to represent anyone but themselves and their monied masters.

Chuck giving up leverage and other Democrats voting for tRump cabinet picks are all reps that need to go. Resign or we will make you resign! That's if we have free and hair elections again.

You didn't highlight the best part of that interview, and something other journalists should start doing, he handed tRump his own ass and never looked or sounded flustered or worried about the results of the interview. He asked hard questions, even some that sounded dumbed down to help tRump's feeble brain understand.

The best part was shortly after this quote, I think, where tRump said how something might not happen, like completing the rest of the interview, and the dude straight said, "we will." The look on tRump's face was like a parent hearing their kid tell them "no" for the first time. But he didn't say anything more. It was a glorious example of how to deal with a bully.

tRump can't handle direct confrontation to his actions. He gets pissed and, if he can, tries to leave the scene or, like this interview and the debate with Harris, he's stuck and has to do the whole thing or look like a baby. It's why his only push back is digital or when the other party can't rebuke him. He's a coward who, like most conservatives, can dish it out but can't take it. He relies on his base to do the tough guy stuff and uses his platform to rile them up.

They're LARPers with a gun; licensed to use real fire bolts against the masses.

Yet, they keep voting for one as governor. 🤔

Let's say you were doing shady, illegal shit for some mob boss-wannabe. You know a lot of shit. Have emails, phone messages, recorded meetings, and one day you're picked up on charges for something you did for the boss.

You have two choices, go to jail for 10-15 years or take a plea deal where you give up all evidence on the boss and in return are given only probation. You'd really give up a portion of your life in federal prison for that guy?

That's the situation that this kind of shit is used for. He didn't get this light sentence for nothing. Most of these people are spineless tools that were used and thrown under the bus by someone higher on the chain than themselves.

This could have been written by me. I despise capitalism, capitalists, and if I could, would ensure that every company knowingly polluting or harming people or the planet would be dissolved and their boards put in jail, or worse. I have always hated capitalism, I'm realizing, the older I get, and learning how many of these companies KNEW the consequences of their greed makes me even more radicalized against it.

We glamorize wealth hoarding and that baffles me. I have a 4yo son. I see in him the same things I see in these capitalists. I give him what he wants, say a scoop of ice cream. I get some for myself, maybe a different flavor, and he asks for mine. He gets upset when I tell him to enjoy what he has and that I want to enjoy my ice cream too.

Recently, we got into LEGO and I will be building something, usually just fucking around, and I'll start to make something cool. He'll come up and want it. Even with other blocks, it's what little I have that he wants. Sometimes, there is no amount of persuasion to allow me to continue what I'm doing.

I'm convinced that greed is just a regression/stopping of cognitive development to the level of a child. I would pity these capitalist fuckers if they weren't destroying the planet and our lives for their greed.

Makes me think, sure, go ahead, build that bunker to escape the disaster you [capitalists] created. Nature may not be able to get in that easily, but people didn't become the apex hunters of this planet from giving up. Persistence will reap what you have sowed.

The only way he could ruin porn sites was if the site's content were replaced with only videos of Elon gyrating his hips to Eye of the Tiger, while wearing one of those Borat bathing suits, never breaking eye contact with the camera.
