@StillIRise1963 Is it me, or does capitalism seem to reward psychopaths? I am thinking we might be kooky to go along with this destructive system of distribution. It is like they think the Hunger Games is a training film instead of a critique.
#Errosion_Of_Rights As a kid my mom told me one of the rights we have in the USA is to travel freely throughout the country. She said in communist countries the government tracks all your movements.
Fast forward to the 2000s and TSA starts verifying that the name on your ID matches your plane ticket - what else they are doings, we don't know.
Fast forward to 2025, the TSA don't care about your ticket. They photograph EVERYONE getting on an airplane. They are watching you everywhere you go.
Before Reagan politicians paid a price when caught lying. Reagan made it normal to lie without consequence. When he got busted he would chuckle and his staff would say, you know - that's just Ron being Ron. After that the press gave up on finding the truth and just started reporting "both sides." Cheney & Co evolved it to, Fk you I make the truth. . . and the cult was born.
@distractal@inthehands Stopping weapons to Israel sounds simple, but think about is what happens next. What would Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran, and Israel do then? Example: Could Netanyahu be provoked to use nukes? If you know, you should be working for the State Dept or Pentagon as a strategist, because that is what they are wrestling with. They have played out all the scenarios and we are where we are because nothing works better. Netanyahu, Putin, Trump, & Hamas, want this - no one else.
Congresswoman Nancy Mace (remember Scarlet Letter Nancy) said on CNN that she can pronounce Kamala any way she likes. I guess she can. I've decided to pronounce Nancy Mace's name Nasty Waste. Oh, I get it now, being childish can be fun.
