It was always going to be that with the business model that they created during the streaming-mania era that we are just coming out of. Those that came out of the cable era had no clue what they were doing and we are now worse off than ever in terms of quality but inundated with quantity.

Oh, believe me, I feel the same. But this is what happens when, instead of becoming a better society for all, you just end up managing a decline and hoarding wealth at the top. We still have a long way to go before we can breathe. That much I can tell you. It will be years longer at the very least.

Let us say, for the sake of argument, that this is the case. The problem then becomes, who does anything about it? What mechanism do you use to investigate it when they control the government? The 1876 and 1960 elections were both corrupted, but nothing happened. Will this be different?

Too often in this country the laws on the books are not enforced, or people in power can just do wtf they want the consequences be damned. Until we deal with that this shit will just keep happening. Powerful people helping out other powerful people no matter their character.

The GOP clearly does not understand America and its citizens. No one person has ever been able to tame this vast land with its hundreds of millions of people. They may try to bully us, silence us, and instill fear, but we are not Russia or NK; we are the USA. In the end this will be their undoing.

If you ever get the chance look up something called the Party system era's because they are very telling in terms of alignments, the issues pushing those alignments, and our definition of the spectrums based on our current political framing is which off big time due to our lack of knowledge on this.

Extra Extra: A Criminal known for financial crimes, among other things, pardons another criminal known for financial crimes, among other things.

This is the surprise of the century for sure.

Next up, Maxwell. After all, he has to help out his fellow pedos.

Yeah, because he is too busy planning ballrooms that no one asked for and falling asleep in a chair like an old man in a retirement home. You know the place he should be instead of the white house. Either that or Jail, but certainly not in charge of our damn government.

This has their attention and perhaps after tomorrow even more, but as I have said time and again, if we truly want to bring these chodes to their knees, we need an economic boycott the likes of which we have never seen, and it can be done, but the will must be there first.

During Reagan, conservatives began to shift into anti-left reactionaries. Frankly, their intellectual depth is so lacking that conservatives from that time thought this movement would fizzle out. Instead, it has persisted, and now we are left dealing with the consequences for an uncertain duration.
