  • Oh you mean how the whole stock market is propped up by the earnings of 7 companies who are all at earnings highs largely due to suddenly having revenue from Tariffs that forced Americans to pay up to 100% more for the enshitified products these companies barely provide?

    Complete mystery as to why nearly every company on the S&P 500 is red except those 7 holding the clown show up. As soon as the bullshit Tariff tax liquidity that was robbed from Americans runs out, that all time high in the start market is going to crater into an all time low. Only thing great in front of America is a depression greater than the last one.


  • If we depose them, we’d have access to their wealth to tackle climate change. And it wouldn’t be for building the doomsday bunkers they are now.

    Zuckerberg spent nearly $400 million for a bunker to be built in Hawaii. This was after Hawaii had fires that cost them nearly a billion in damages.

    Zucks $400 million purchase could have repaired half the nation-state. It would have immediately improved ecological recovery, and restore the canopy biome that helps pull C02 from the air as a natural deterent to Climate change. He’d then have most of the population worshipping him for doing so. Likely welcoming him anywhere in the state he’d want to visit.

    Instead he can now visit his bunker, needs it because the island hates him, and helped contribute to ecological collapse in building it.

    The problem is that billionaires are the worst humans imaginable to have such wealth. It will always go towards cthe acceleration of climate collapse for their benefit instead of preventing it. Whether you feel they’re a contributor or not, they’re still in charge of the resources that could easily stop climate change faster than any other mechanism on the planet.

    Instead they’re building bunkers with that money to run from the problems they’ve actively contributed to more than any other human on the planet.




  • Imo, the question is who fires the first shot. If it’s Minnesota PD, Trump will engineer them into the enemy and have a larger pool of people believing him.

    If it’s ICE, and continues to be ICE, they will continue to lose support, and more importantly, continue to lose in the hearts and minds of those knowing where this is going.

    As long as ICE keeps shooting first and asking quastions later, when things eventually escalate, they will meet the largest amount of resistance instead of the weakest.

    Let the antagonizers make it clear who is antagonizing, and you absolutley will have a resistance.

    At this point, I think we’re 1 more ICE shooting away from every American with a gun showing up to the Capitol to peacefully protest the same way it was done Jan 6th.


  • I agree with everything you said. HOWEVER.

    No police officer wants to be the one that gets the 10th Amendment challenged in court. These rules you described only exist UNTIL they are challenged.

    Do you want them to be challenged given the current SCOTUS?

    I don’t. As it would be a literal constitutional crisis. One that our currupt SCOTUS would forever change the norms of given the opportunity. State police are making sure they aren’t the ones providing said opportunity.

    Because once SCOTUS corrupts the constitution, we will be actively in a civil war between their interpretation of the constitution, and what was before.

    I’m aware of what the rules are. I’m also aware of how most of them have changed through Trumps court and likely will continue to given any and all opportunity.

    It’s wise to not give them any.



  • If you want a real answer instead of knee jerk hatred towards cops:

    Cops are local police, and have local authority. They do not have jurisdiction or authority over federal agencies.

    If they moved on ICE, that would literally start a Civil War. As law would become the word of local authority versus federal authority in determining who has any.

    The officers in Minnesota are not defending ICE. They’re trying their best to not be the ones that start the Civil War ICE is trying to.

    Because ICE has federal authority, anything local authority does will create a conflict that ICE and Trump will use to justify martial law. They want to use our military to invade swing states, so the Police in Minnesota are trying to prevent that through not openinly engaging with ICE agent provocateurs.


  • The is solid evidence that both of these men raped child sex slaves.

    Nope. There isn’t. You’re lying. Show the evidence for Clinton like I ready did Trump. Show the evidence you claim you have for Clinton, or you are supporting fasicm, not justice. Period.

    I already know your response will just be more anger instead of any proof of what you’re angry about.

    So show me your anger doesn’t come from a fucking vibe, and maybe then I’ll believe your bullshit righteousness isn’t bullshit.

    Until then, I’ll take your lead and assume the worst of you.

    That you’ve fully given up American values in exchange for vibes. As easily proven by you actively calling for the unfair persecution of a man you can’t even prove is guilty. Something I guarantee you will fail at providing in your next response.

    Once that happens, you are again choosing to defend fasicm instead of growing up enough to know what it looks like.

    Respond with your “solid evidence,” or you’re asking for fasicm not justice. Something I didn’t have a problem with because I’m right.



  • Your point is very valid.

    However, personally (and kinda anecdotally), I doubt the US military would EVER side with ICE.

    There’s an unspoken heirarchy within those that serve in police, fire, EMD, and military services. Many of them actually have overlapping skill sets and training requirements. Meaning many military end up as officers or EMD’s. Or officers turnover to fire (there’s literal waiting lists to get into fire departments filled with ex-LE officers.)

    The point is, this heirarchy is always determined by the amount of training necessary to hold each position. Usually with EMD and Military near the top in terms of total training needed, both physically, mentally, and practically. Below that is police and fire, both requiring weeks or months of training a year, and each placing large and permanant physical and mental demands on those that manage to complete the training. Both groups usually look up with respect to EMD and Military. If not for their training, but more for the fact that EMD’s have saved officer and fire fighter lives many many times. So theirs a respect that runs very deep between all these people who choose such demanding careers.

    Especially the ones willing to put themselves through literal hell training just to possibly save lives. I cannot place enough emphasis on the possibly part. Because you have to get used to death in these jobs.

    ICE training is less than 47 days.

    Few if any in LE or FIRE respect them. Mostly because most ICE are rejected from their programs for failing training. So they are very much seen as a failure to ALL of these groups, placed in the subbasement of this heirarchy at best. Especially by the military, who have far more training requirements, yet now all earn far less than anyone dumb enough to join ICE.

    The people who’ve dedicated themselves to just having a chance to save a life, do not respect those that on a whim one month decided to cosplay as someone that’s “protecting” others. They’re an insult to pretty much anyone that actually does the job ICE barely pretends to.

    I VERY sincerely doubt anyone in the Military would be willing to protect a group of untrained cosplayers who all very likely failed to learn how to protect themselves. If anything, the human corpses ICE is unnecessarily creating very much frames them as the bad guy to ALL the people whose job it is to actually prevent corpses from happening.

    They do not have friends willing to join them. They are nothing but a national embarrassment to anyone that could.



  • So you’re saying we should let a child rapists walk so trump doesn’t get what he wants.

    No. That’s what you want me to be saying in place of what I am.

    Here’s what I’m saying:

    Pedo authoritarianism for Clinton is not the same as justice for him and Trump. No matter how much you want it to be.

    Because there’s a clear difference between a justice system where innocence is presumed, and the one we now have where the opinion of an admitted pedo is used to determine guilt.

    You’re saying both of these systems provide the same quality of justice. I’m saying they very clearly don’t.

    Do you honestly believe Clinton would have a fair trial under the Trump administration? Yes or No.

    If you agree with me that, no, he clearly won’t. Then you agree that nothing that would happen in that trial could be considered fair or even believably “just.” Which means that any “justice” served in that trial is poor at best, and immediately questionable in its accuracy and application at worst. Which means that such a trial would fail to fit the definition of justice at all. Because that’s political persecution, just now poorly cosplaying as justice.

    Just because a mall Santa looks like Santa, doesn’t mean he is actually Santa. Just because the word “justice” is a part of the DOJ, doesn’t mean they actually serve justice. As evidenced by their continued, and now illegal protection of the Epstein Files and those of their own cabinet inside them. They are about as far from the definition of “just” as you can get.

    Same as you pretty much admitting no trial is needed to determine Clinton’s guilt. You’re good with just the opinion of a admitted pedophile saying he is in determining what’s “just.”

    Here’s said pedophiles opinion on how young of a kid he’s admitted to fucking:

    https://www.thewrap.com/trump-age-limit-howard-stern-interview/

    “If I- No, no, I have no age–. I mean, I have an age li…” Trump replied. Then, when asked to provide his “upper bracket,” Trump said, “I don’t want to be like Congressman Foley, with, you know, 12-year-olds.”

    Show me Clinton saying anything remotely the same if you want me to assume his guilt to the degree you already have. I’d much rather wait for a fair jury to determine that. Something that in all likelihood will now never happen.

    If you actually cared about Justice as you’ve been virtue signaling, you wouldn’t be acting as if Clinton is guilty at all. He’s not on camera talking about the youngest kids he’s fucked. He’s not in the Epstein files in reference to killing infants, raping teens, and killing children to dispose of evidence.

    Yet you readily accept the guilt of Clinton for doing all those actions, not the person who made them whose opinion you so readily prefer to a judge or juries.

    Because you want authoritarianism, and only I want justice. They are not the same. Even if you are unwilling to notice. Unlike you, I’m not willing to blindly accept fascism as a substitute for justice just because a pedophile told me it’s the same thing. Yet that’s very much the choice you keep continuing to make here, whether you know you are or not.


  • Do you understand the concept of power regulation I am talking about?

    The point I am making is that minimizing the power any single person can hold in a structured government is very effective at preventing that role from being exploited. In short: anyone in a position of authority should never have power over themselves in it.

    The distribution of checks and balances in the US was a good example of this dynamic in theory, but now a far more effective example are things like EU term limits, ranked choice voting, and multi party governments. The more limits like these that continue to be placed on positions of authority, the less those roles can be exploited by anyone. Regardless of their intent.

    I’m fully aware of how even the most benevolent person can’t help but be tempted by power. I’m also aware of how effective we have been in limiting the power most people have over themselves in modern western governments.

    The strength of EU countries in quarantining the spread of Trumpism within their own systems is proof at how effective better regulations over positions of authority can be at stopping their exploitation. You can very easily compare and contrast the results of the well regulated democracies in the EU to the US to see just how effective regulations can be at preventing exploitation.

    People cannot exploit power if their position grants them none. By law, positions of authority should grant them none over themselves. No more using that role for themselves, means no more exploitation.


  • They are neither storytellers nor playwrights. (Except Shapiro kinda was a failed one.) Both of those skills require a tremendous amount of effort to refine until they are worth something of value to others.

    Billionaires just have deep pockets for social media ads, PR, Bot farms, and narrative control and ownership of all US media. That’s not being good at storytelling. That’s using money to hack popularity by hitting caps lock and skipping spelling mistakes on millions of poor quality “stories” saying the same thing until it’s repeated enough our monkey brains adapt to it as normal. That doesn’t make the story good. It makes it common at best.

    Billionaires just have greed. And the immorally deep pockets to prove it. If they had skills, you could point to something of quality that they have made with those skills, preferably something that actually has value or a benefit to others instead of themselves.

    What of Facebook, X, Microsoft, Planatir, NVIDIA, Google, or Apple is of Quality?

    What of all the companies they’ve merged with, then mismanaged, and completely destroying the value of? That is not a skilled use of those resources, let alone a good use of entire workforces.

    They just want more. And don’t care what they break to get it. They do not have any skills to give.

    They just take something of worth to many, and break it for the value they alone can most extract from it. That does not make them skilled. That just makes them someone who takes resources instead of learning a skill to earn them fairly. That used to be called a thief.

    If they aren’t that, then show me the fruits of their skills. Show me valuable, quality results they can produce. I’ll tell you now it always involves hiring those who have the skills they lack.

    Their one and only skill of any quality, imo, is their complete lack of hesitancy or empathy to exploit us at scale. At times it makes me question if their behaviour can even be considered human.


  • If you’re suggesting that trying no one at all serves justice better than trying Clinton, I vehemently disagree.

    I’m quite frankly stating this serves Trump far more than it serves justice.

    It’s a very clear attempt to further avoid justice by blaming Clinton in place of Trumps crimes. Resulting in Clinton being literally the only one punished as a fall guy narrative for Trump. Making an entire side of the scale of Justice permanantly held down by an orange fist.

    If you want to get on a pedastal about Justice, maybe start at the top instead of at the bottom. Where you’re claiming what’s clearly injustice, and would never happen in a world where this was being handled by adults, is actually kinda fair if you just squint and don’t look at the “in” part of “injustice.”

    Choosing to find righteousness in Clinton’s arrest over rage is the banal acceptance of authoritarianism in place of anything resembling a just society.



  • Being skilled at lying does not make you skilled. It makes you lie about how skilled you are.

    These people are paper plates in front of a stack of bills. They’d collapse to a few stern slaps to the face, as they have faced nothing but praises their entire life.

    They are jumping through hoops to silence decent because they are too low thinking to engage in fair debate. They literally lack the communication skills to make their beliefs seem reasonable to anyone else. The skills to subtly do anything. The skills to think ahead. And certainly the skills to compromise.

    These people are a volume knob turned to 11 on a rusty speaker that no one’s been allowed to touch for decades.

    That’s not skilled. That’s stupid weakness propped up by money to seem smart and popular. Which, while effectively making US listeners stupider and weaker, doesn’t make them skilled let alone smart.

    The thought they’re talented at anything other than being popular, is just a ruse they’ve made you believe because they’re popular. It’s literally their only skill. And 50% of it comes from social media manipulation. So it’s not even a skill they’ve well developed.


  • Not when it’s well regulated. People become anti democratic. Not systems.

    People with little experience, and skill, who are given enough money and a narcissistic upbringing, over time, always lead to centralized power. Literally every human culture and system of power w’ve created on the planet has fallen to this human design flaw. An easy life for the unskilled breeds insecurity through which nepo babies use their money to centralize power to feel skilled.

    1700’s France Fall of Rome Qing Dynasty

    Now 2026 USA.

    Our only failure is in trusting that any part of a system of government can be self regulated. That any position of power shouldn’t be well distributed. Including the concentration of wealth.

    Through the repeated attempts of humanity to organize over our entire existence with have literally brute forced our way into better and better systems. Now to the point where we understand the best solution for all of us, but lack the concentrated power and money enact it.

    Once that changes, whatever system is developed next will likely be far superior to all of those before it.


  • No offense, but seeing as Trump is literally the only one preventing the release of the Epstein Files, now illegally against the will of Congress, yes you do have to choose one over the other if you actually want justice.

    Instead, our tax dollars are going towards arresting Bill Clinton. If you want to try everyone on the Island, that literally MUST start with the person illegally stopping that from happening. Or it will literally never happen. Just like Trumps Tax returns, Wall, and Health Plan.
