B-but, he was a big business magnate, I mean surely a man who does BUSINESS will be what the country needs. That’ll make all the pwices go down… Yeah people got fucking fleeced. As he said. He loves the poorly educated. And a lot of people are intelligent and actually did vote for the fat orange fuck, but they’re dumb as shit when it comes to politics. We got some dumb mother fuckers floating around this country. Hopefully things will start getting better, they already are with Jensen being ousted, as in repercussions, albeit small for the level of corruption going on right now. But that was a massive high profile CEO gone. If he can get hit, they can all bleed.

I am personally wondering, if they’re going to implement the STOCK act or if it’ll be water under the bridge again, or better yet, they do it during Trump in office for brownie points then never again and act like the Republicans stopped them. - https://www.npr.org/2025/09/03/nx-s1-5485340/congress-stock-trading-bill

I have no faith in them, but it was to stop the bleeding, we need to move past two parties and I do agree with that even if I think all the people typing the whataboutisms and how they’ve seen this before are cowards. You want to complain, give me ideas to fix our shithole instead.

Jesus Christ you guys give up real easily. Get over it, yes it’s fucked. Give a solution. Let’s actually make a concerted effort and form either a new party and vote on them as a collective or quit whining. It’s not just a ‘two party’ system, I know it is in actuality, but we could fucking fight it. But the movement would need to be massive.

What are the better options, I use DDG for reference. Curious if there is a go too. Haven’t touched Google in years for a search. Do occasionally use their reverse image search no that I think about it.

STOP! I can only get so erect!

“Men’s asses, muscualr man ass, totally not gay platonic Sen. Jon Husted full blown ass up naked man ass.”

Well said and fully agreed. When the means to have discussion are taken away that too is a tool used against the people. That’s why they’re turning to surveillance as much as they have. It has been a wonderful weapon to cull this exact type of talk.

I think it’ll just have to get a whole lot worse before we’ll be worrying about this stage of things. It’s just odd, watching it and seeing news like this become just background noise for so many people.

Almost like it doesn’t even matter that rights are being stripped away, right in front of people and seemingly so few care… but maybe that’s not fully right either. So few people don’t have the time to care whether by design or not. And like you say, it feels like you’re stuck, watching. A prison, oddly enough. I mean I’m not starving to death or something like that, but it feels awful with seemingly no light at the end of the long narrow tunnel. Waiting for a cave-in to breathe gasps of different air into the stale damp hole we call home.

I don’t know, maybe I’m just complaining too much.

You’re right. No quip. You’re correct. But I, too am a coward. I’m not a soldier and my hands shake in intense situations - I have many excuses to give but no action to add.

Luigi and ICE taught me two very important things. One, a single man CAN make a difference for good. Whether or not it was seen, it was felt. They shivered. And two. When you have masked men killing people in your own country, no one actually wants to kill someone and face the punishment of doing so. The fact that no ICE agent was killed following Alex Pretti’s murder astounded me. It taught me something - this doesn’t apply to all of them and it is conspiratorial - but a lot of the death in the political avenues are not done by ‘normal’ people. That there is a high likely-hood of something else going on behind the scenes. (It sounds obvious reading it but you’re made to feel like you’re doing something wrong by even considering the possibility of it.)

What I mean is - After Pretti, I thought the country would move in solidarity together. And while parts of it did and had the biggest cause and effect at the time. It didn’t spark more than that, it wounded me to be honest.

A person, an ICU nurse shot dead with a mag-dump by multiple men masked in broad daylight given the authority to do so by their own government. It fucking shocked me to my core… I expected retaliation and yet, there was none. What it meant to me was people are not interested in a revolution until it is directly brought to their doorstep. We are interested in total self preservation.

Not only did an ICU nurse helping a woman I might add, was shot dead in the street, his killers were protected and hidden away. A go-fund-me surpassed 1.7 million dollars for the murder of an innocent man… it taught me something valuable. Human beings are a failed species or minimum extremely flawed and adaptive to many types of pain.

How can someone witness that and pay them for the murder and execution of their fellow man so callously, and you can say it wasn’t the many but the few that did that. Yet violence never befallen any ICE agent therein after.

It doesn’t make sense to me. Yet, at the same time I understood it. I also don’t want to risk life and limb for an ideal especially when you already believe the ideal is dead… I don’t even why I’m typing anymore. Searching for a solution to a problem long overdue. If anyone has the answers please let me know. I wish I did. I think the best I can do now is actually protest and put these words on more than a forum but out there for like-minded people and stand united. But that feels so idealistic it makes me sickly sweet. But it’s better than the alternative.

I can’t figure out formatting on here so this doesn’t turn into a blob of words.

Yeah, exactly. It’s why places like New York or LA can have these amazing and powerful protests vs where I live, cannot (deep red). It’s like a different country between state lines and I mean vastly different from one place to another.

Realistically what I see happening is our nation fracturing. I don’t think it’ll happen in the next ten years but thirty or even fifty, I believe we’ll see states secede from the states. If things continue this way then the American experiment has failed. We had a good run but we’re on the way out the door which might be a good thing.

I don’t know. I just know I wish I could change it. Wish I had more power to stop this. It’s like I’m watching the world as I knew it literally decay but only for us down in the 80% of the K-shaped economy - which I am. When you elect a man like Trump, expect a man like Trump. He only cares for himself and the rich - and it’s not cause he likes them of course. It’s business. Why people thought a business man would be good politics is beyond me.

Who knows might just be in an echo chamber but it certainly seems like we’re going backwards globally not just in America either and people keep trying to admonish the fact their politicians are also in the cabal of this evil.

You’re correct; Which leads me to another point I’d like to make.

People that blame Americans for not doing ‘enough’ my response to them is to look around you. These panopticon devices are being sold in your country as well, we’re all getting fucked over by the same so-called elites that lord over us and have been doing that since the dawn of humanity when they realized they can pit us against one another. I’m so sick of that narrative I am not happy with this world and what’s going on in it even slightly.

It makes me violently ill to think THIS is the best humans are capable of and now the exploitation of everything - say I create a miracle cure-all nowadays. My days are numbered at best because now it’s not in the interests of the elites to have that.

I didn’t want to be believe that, that the world was so sickly like this, to be that pessimistic about it all, but looking around for even a moment you can see how far we’ve fallen as a species for total domination of the people these men and women view as beneath them. It’s driving me up the wall. I’ll actually protest instead of typing because nothing is going to get done otherwise - but protesting without violence is not going to solve this shit even slightly.

I can only do what I can where I am - which to be honest isn’t a lot. Economically I am not even 1/1000000 a grain of sand in comparison to the enemy but we are the sand of the Earth and we fucking outnumber them.

What are we doing. How do we get the ball rolling something needs to be done GLOBALLY not just limited to one location or country, we have a genuine stain a glut of inhumane monsters that rule over us literally in the Epstein files doing the most heinous shit we consider to be the most egregious things one can do on this Earth and we’re just going to fucking take it? I am losing my fucking mind. Like, what is this. Man.

EDIT: Formatting. I know this is a long text. TL:DR. I’m not happy.

You know what’s crazy to me - this used to be the crazy guy under the bridge type of shit. Secondly, it’s not the first company that’s done this now. LG. Why aren’t these people being raked on the coals. Don’t answer that I already know. My real question is why aren’t we bringing out guillotines and removing the scum from our planet. There are obviously no fucking rules or law of man on this Earth any longer.

Shit, I’ll settle for middle-class. Or is that multimillionaire in today money anyway…

I think they’re so excited cause it’s the first time something they unveiled (albeit, useless) didn’t blowup or fail on a showcase. Big win for Tesla! The curtain didn’t reveal the Wizard of Oz this time!

I had a boss say the line ‘we’re a family here’ and I could not contain myself. I laughed so hard. He ended leaving for another job that paid more so who’s laughing now. He had literally no idea what my job title was or my role. We were a department of four. That guy was fucking awesome.

And I’ll do it again while kicking my feet and rubbing my belly! (Only love, just the absurdity of it reading without understanding it till I read about the fediverse)

This is missing a Carlin punchline to it and a message, but I can envision him saying it.

Can I just say, as someone new to any of this you all sound like a bunch of absolute loons. It’s like you’re arguing over your favorite tarts flavors.

You keeping that recipe close to your chest or are you in the business of telling me the goods? They look fire.
