Listen to this judge bitching about how long this is taking, when it’s HIS JOB to manage the case. If it’s not going right, it’s directly his fault. Force the defendant to pay up by a certain date, or hold him, and his lawyers, in contempt, while the court directs the final disposal of his assets as they sit in jail.

First of all, America is not “the most violent empire on the planet.” America has the capability of being the most violent nation, but at the moment, our potential for violence is being eclipsed by other nations who are actively employing the same levels of violence that we are capable of. Nothing we are currently doing comes close to the violence that Russia and Israel are employing.

And yes, America is the only nation to have deployed nuclear weapons against human targets, but that was 80 years ago, and ended the worst war in human history. After demonstrating its power, just the presence of nuclear weapons in a nation’s arsenal has been enough to keep the most powerful, well-armed, violent nations (including America) from going too far.

We no longer live in a world where our biggest fear would be the government controlling high level corporations and their operators.

We now live in a world controlled by Sociopathic Oligarchs who can afford to create government level technology. Right now it’s mostly tourism rockets and satellites, but now we see Skum weaponizing that technology, and/or using it as a bargaining chip. He has cut off Starlink in a war zone to benefit the county who defers to him, but is openly hostile to the US, and now he’s threatening to cut off our access to the space station. He is using tech that WE PAY FOR with government contracts and grants, to pursue his own diplomacy, for his own benefit, and against our interests.

Eventually, someone will start building and stockpiling actual weapons, perhaps even atomics. Then we will be asking why someone didn’t step in and stop them before they became a bonafide threat.

We paid for Skum’s technology, and he gets to control it as a courtesy. Just the threat of using it against us should be enough reason to declare him a national security threat, confiscate his American-taxpayer financed businesses, and imprison him.

They are already building a $250 million facility in Guantanamo to hold 30,000 people. For context, the average maximum security prison in America holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, in Angola, LA, hold about 8300. So the new Guantanamo facility will hold almost 4x more than the largest prison, which is already several times larger than average.

Clearly, they want to detain a LOT of people, outside of the prying eyes of the courts and the media.

Who is this judge to think he can overrule the PRESIDENT? Who elected him? In fact, why do we have judges at all?

/S, because there are lots of people who actually think like that.

Corporate Serial Killers for Profit

It was actually only one of dozens of similar atrocities that happened around that time. In fact, 1919 is referred to as “Red Summer,” for the number of organized attacks on black neighborhoods.

I live in the Orlando area, and a local news station did an extended story on the 100th anniversary of a local massacre in Ocoee,, caused when a black citizen insisted on voting in the 1920 Presidential election. 30-80 black citizens were murdered, their properties confiscated, and the rest driven from town. Their stolen properties were distributed among prominent white members of the town, whose families still own the properties to this day.

Like most of these massacres, the Ocoee massacre was almost totally forgotten, by design. They weren’t talked about, and younger generations weren’t told about them, neither in school, nor at home. Discussion was harshly discouraged. Within a couple generations, they were mostly forgotten.

There have been several mass shootings which were stopped when the shooter stopped to reload, and a bystander was able to intervene at that moment. Limiting the capacity saves lives.

Gun advocates like to mock those who want to ban military-style guns, while other hunting rifles with the same capacities are still available, but that misses the point. If both guns were the same, why are nearly all mass shootings done with military-style weapons, and are NEVER done with standard hunting rifles?

Something that is never discussed is the psychological effects of military-style weapons, in both the shooter and the victim. In general, mass shooters are people who feel weak, abused, outcast. A scary black gun makes them feel powerful in a way that a standard hunting rifle doesn’t. In addition, that military-style gun is scarier to their intended victims as well. It forces them to fear the shooter, something the shooter craves.

Military-style weapons may not have any more practical characteristics than a standard hunting rifle, but it’s psychological effects are much stronger.

Unlike in China, where the government will happily throw you and your family behind bars for saying something even approaching a bad opinion of government action.

Yeah, there have been no repercussions for protesting against Gaza Genocide. /S

I’ve never seen a Republican that didn’t want a war.

Soon, they’ll bring all the manufacturing back to America, incarcerate thousands of people for opposing the government, then force those political prisoners to be free slave labor under the 13th Amendment.

That still exists, they run TV ads all the time. The ads even have print that says that someone listens to the callers and types out what they say.

If standard TV is any measure, eventually they’ll all die of Fentanyl overdoses.

This is your country on drugs.

Every last one of them is an addict of some sort. His Secretary of Health is a heroin addict.

During his first term, there was some issue that he was scheduled to meet with Pelosi and Schumer about, that afternoon. The day before, someone had made some crack about him that got under his skin. Knowing that they’d be meeting with him that afternoon, Pelosi repeated the insult, knowing he’d stew on it all day.

When the meeting happened, Pelosi and Schumer were waiting in the room when HitlerPig stormed in, hollered for a few minutes, and stormed out, while Pelosi and Schumer tried to hold back their smiles.

Schumer is a spineless weenie, but Pelosi always knew how to get to HitlerPig, and used it at every opportunity. We need someone to do that now.

Collaboration with the enemy in order to avoid punishment is never a good strategy. They will come after you anyway, you’re just making it easier for them. Always resist as much as possible, slowing them down and frustrating them until we can get the upper hand and defeat them.

Never voluntarily surrender your freedom in exchange for a promise of safety, they will not honor their promise.

Yep, this should be standard practice.

And we can call individual messages Xits.

Why does anyone care what others choose to do with their lives? Why do some people think the entire world requires their personal approval to exist?

Do what you want, live how you want, I don’t fucking care.
