Imagine being such a bootlicker that you want to kill people for property crime, even when that property isn’t yours. What a loser.

Anything which does not overtly favor Trump will be labeled as biased.

This is item 1 in the Goebbels’ playbook.

Nah, this is due to their base’s support being absolutely unwavering. This is a level of propagandistic control never before seen in the United States. Joseph Goebbels would fucking blush.

She was wonderful in everything.

Perhaps it’s just because maybe it was the first time I saw her, but I’ll always associate her with the 1990s film “Hook”. She played someone much older than she was at the time. “Peter, you’ve become a pirate.”

Ich auch

A significant portion of the GOP platform now relies on their idea of “Lügenpresse”. Anything suggesting a right-leaning media shatters the conservative persecution fetish.

Really good way to sell electric cars. Good job Elon.

Republicans can endorse Harris all day long and I’m here for it.

Manchin endorsing Harris would have actually done her a disservice.

The only honest answer in the whole thread

Perhaps not for the platform, but for humanity, it is an absolute failure.

What’s the difference?

The stated goal of abstinence-only education is that young people don’t have sex until marriage. It fails at that. The (un)stated goal of the christofascists is probably keeping the future labor pool large so wages stay low, but it is at odds with the social goal.

You’re giving them too much credit, I’d say. It’s hard to tell if this is 5d chess towards a conservative wet dream or just the usual christofascist nonsense. It sounds a lot like abstinence-only education, which has been a failing strategy from the Right forever.

“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” exists exactly for this, I think.

I feel like a broken record lately: if these companies cannot keep this data secure (which for all intents and purposes, true security is difficult if not impossible) then they should not be allowed to process it. To put it another way, we should be changing the system such that this sensitive information does not need to be on the cloud, i.e. “someone else’s computer”.

And to expedite this understanding, we put execs in jail when their companies fail this egregiously and with such implications for so many. No fines. Just jail. Watch things change overnight when consequences are back in the formula.

‘final’ offer

Ah, I see Boeing execs still have not realized that the skilled labor makes the company work. The ‘final’ offer will be Boeing falling further towards obscurity because the C-suite can’t see that they are the problem.

In stark contrast, you can put any old exec into an exec spot and they’ll be just as useless as any other exec.

For a company as large and influential as Boeing though – this is why other countries have nationalized entire industries for less.

This is how you get more teen pregnancies.

In case no one else noticed in Florida, people are going to have sex no matter what. Not telling them how to do it safely is kind of like telling all your pilots they can’t have training, but knowing full well they will still fly the planes.

Yeah fair enough. I probably should have qualified it more.

And it is why we are starting to see so much more unrest regardless of what country you’re in.

Global communications are now such that it is impossible to hide a worldwide trend like this. It is also becoming easier to make direct comparisons between conditions country to country as a side effect of globalization.

The trend itself is not surprising, but it does highlight a need for action which is not limited to a single place.

Old Man Trump doing old man things.

These days? Ronald Reagan was a decent actor. Maybe not as decent as Richard Nixon.
