‘CNN reported that the Department of Justice was discussing denying trans people’s right to possess firearms on the rationale that transgenderism is “mental illness.”’

The fuckin’ gall!! Defending you and your people from state tyrants is not mental illness. It is self-defense. These old geezer’s in charge are the generation that would call a wife openly disagreeing with them mental illness to shut them up and imprison them.

Mental illness is surrounding yourself with delusional yes-men and working to protect a president who serially SAs because you’re desperate for power. It’s psychopathy, and it is capitalism that makes and promotes these people to the top of all the organized groups.

Patel is lying. Here’s one from Epsteins Birthday book that got released.

That is a picture of mar-a-logo in the background. The picture comes from Joel Pashcow who put it in the book.

‘Pashcow introduced Epstein to Trump in the 1990s when all three moved in the same social circles in both Palm Beach and in New York’ according to the Daily Mail

Meanwhile on 9/11, one day after Kirk was killed, Maga Senate Republicans defended Trump by stopping the release of the Epstein Files with a 51-49 vote. What a convenient time for a narrative changing event for the media.

It also pollutes the mind of ignorant people with misinformation. Not that that is anything new. But I do think objective truth is very important in a democratic society. It reminds me of that video that used to go around that showed Sinclair Broadcasting in like 20 some different ‘local’ broadcast news all repeating the same words verbatim. It ended with ‘This is extremely dangerous to our democracy’. With AI being added to all the search engines, it is really easy to look something and unknowingly get bombarded with false info pulled out of the dregs of internet. 90% of people don’t verify the answer to see if it is based in reality.

Very good point, I wasn’t aware of how that prisons are more profitable than asylums. It makes it seem like the prison companies and republicans might have had some motives in common to push for ending asylums. Prison companies obviously would want more slaves prisoners to increase profit. Republicans would see it as a built in source of voter suppression in certain urban generally left leaning areas since prisoners either can’t vote or vote in different more generally rural areas. This goes to show that economic and political interests can have a big effect on issues like this that seem like more social issues at first glance.

Do you mind sharing what company and country you when with for the VPS and why?

Related tangentially, but I was sad to see the older conservative kid won the fight (via settlement after losing in court) to control newscorp. I hope the other 3 kids who each got more than a billion for giving up their stake in the propaganda factory actually do something to help society. They won’t but I hope they do.

Whaaaaat, You aren’t happy to witness dead internet theory become more real before your eyes. So surprising.

I for one will take my AI Slop and I will treat it as if it is a human like a good consumer. /s

I think I heard the shooter jumped off the roof to leave, so if that’s true it would make some sense.

Walking to a friend’s house is nice as long as there’s not a big multilane highway with no pedestrian infrastructure dividing the town in between. Car dependency is a big problem in most of the US. Portland is probably a bit better than other places in that regard, but I’m sure they have still have some issues with it.

I would think this would be a good use for VOIP landlines since lots of places are probably doing away with dedicated phone wires.

Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Washington, DC costs more than 4 times as much as it would cost to simply house every homeless person in the city according to researcher Hanna Homestead.

It’s a very fitting name for the researcher.

Nominative determinism strikes again.

Why can’t the people we vote for represent us?

Politicians were never meant to represent us (the people). We the people was war propaganda to revolt against the English and their king. They have, since the founding of the US, represented the business owners (landowners). And even after giving women and black people the right to vote, the system still mostly represents the interest of the business owners.

Bug report closed: System works as intended.

For the politicians to actually represent us, we the people would need to have some sort of broad agreement on what we do and do not want. But unfortunately, the people don’t have the needed experience or education to come to that agreement. So instead we get 2 different flavors of politicians serving the owners and none serving the people. Pick your favorite team, but they do not currently represent the people’s interest, instead they represent the business owners’ interests.

As a people, our job is to attempt to bend the politicians and business owners’ to our will using what we currently have at our disposal: our actions and our words. But that still won’t get anywhere without many other people backing up our actions and our words with their actions and words. It won’t be easy, but it is necessary if we want to shape our societies future. If we don’t do it, we get shadowy groups like the heritage foundation doing it for the business owners and pushing it on our leaders.

Also the politicians’ job is largely dependent upon them listening to the demands of the businesses lobbyist as of now. If they don’t follow their wishes they can expect a harder battle to keep their seat. They would get less big campaign donations and stronger primary challengers as a result of their noncompliance. This makes our job harder since it is difficult to get them to understand something when their job and salary depends upon them not understanding it.

Bold of you to assume he’s not already an undercover fed.
