I agree he’s too old, and I wish by now he would have mentored someone to stand behind to replace him.

It’s not like we aren’t already irreparably fucked, but losing having any rational voice in the Senate will feel like another blow to our corporate owned zombie of a nation.

That said, not like our single digit collection of leftist Congress people are able to do anything but spin wheels. The Neoliberals have more respect for their old guard Republican opposition than for people like Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez.

“Cancel D-Day or ve vill gas all ze Jews!”

Kind of an empty threat considering that’s what you were actively doing anyway…

NEOliberals absolutely would. I’m not accusing the minority within the majority members like Sanders or Ocasio-Cortez of such things.

Both parties literally put blinders on for places like Saudi Arabia because they’re good customers for our military industrial complex.

Externality: Noun - Capitalist term for “I already got your fucking money, so my mess is your problem you fucking sucker peasants 🖕🤑💰”

"What an absolute disgrace! We must not allow this travesty to continue!

The Union of Concerned Scientists must be punished, in order to protect our beloved economy and the quarterly earnings of private shareholder portfolio staples like Tyson foods/TSN!"

-Neoliberals to fascists, probably

But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders!

I use the “I just want to tell you (both/all) good luck, we’re all counting on you” line irl sometimes.

My humble dream is that one day, before I’m dead, someone will get it.

Probably, in the same way Steamboat Mickey is.

Just part of the whole valuing property, in this case intellectual, over actual labor and people that our species loves so fucking much.

Imagine if IP from drugs to technology to fiction had a 5-10 year max window before other people could work with and expand on it. It would be a better world for most.

Oh you only get to make exclusive income on that thing you came up with for SEVERAL YEARS OF YOUR LIFE before you need to contribute in other ways to keep making money, boo fucking hoo. Where’s the sympathy for people working 2 jobs, burning their life up to meet basic needs, who don’t get several years of passive income on an idea that popped into their head 4 years ago.

I for one back the blue.

To be clear though, I mean the ocean, fuck the police capital defense force.

Or shove a bag of cocaine in its blowhole and claim it was resisting…

Also there’s no confirmation as to whether this dolphin was at school.

This is American af 🇺🇸

Fun fact: Everyone with hundreds of millions+ in holdings either trades with insider information or pays others to do it, because our metrics and enforcement for insider trading are a gallows joke.

Pathetic watching ancient, feeble rich people about to return to the dust from whence they came still frantically positioning to boost their ego scores.

It’s as if they believe their preferred invisible sky mommy/daddy will accept a bribe of earthly currency.

He knows what Republican voters want: cruelty.

Republican voters haven’t given shit 1 about governance since I’ve been alive. They don’t believe in society, and believe everything they have was in no way facilitated by the society they live in or the government that maintains it. Remember how psycho the voters went when Obama simply pointed out that entrepreneurs rely on national infrastructure and wouldn’t have made their business empires what they were in a vacuum without said infrastructure?

Donald Trump became president on the same philosophy of cruelty plans first and only. The closest Republicans get to running on a policy position is promising to “drown the government in a bathtub.” Psychotic enough for you?

Republican derps gotta herp.

“Why is my food not a live small mammal for me to take instinctual pleasure in dismembering YET AGAIN?!”

I’m sure their private shareholders are absolutely thrilled with slave labor making them a few extra cents per share.

It’s insane what we allow people to do to people in the name of “just business” profiteering.

CEOs of the offenders at the time, and anyone who signed off on this, should go to prison. Instead, at most (and likely nothing at all), their companies will receive a fine far less than what they saved using slave labor, which means they’ll keep doing similar things.

It’s not democracy, but pay for play, hush money, and an overall culture of bribery is more American than apple pie ever was.

The prominence of Trump is just a symptom of America’s long running greed disease of putting capital miles above people.

If we had altered our economy and culture not to worship at the alter of sociopathic avarice and reckless growth/metastasis, Donald Trump would have gone to jail before he was a game show host, let alone POTUS.

I’m voting for Biden to keep my conscience clean but without hope, because the sad truth is, Donald Trump absolutely represents what America is in all it’s grotesque, sociopathic, schadenfreude reveling, toxic hyper-individualistic, inhuman glory.

He’s like a cartoon embodiment of who we actually are as a society in practice, and why I can’t stand this place, a nepo-wealth bully obsessed with wealth hoarding that’s got his, knows that means he makes the rules, and fuck you 🇺🇸
