There is only Corporate media
Very early we started allowing the parties to administer the the primaries to avoid having to raise taxes to pay for elections
We outsourced elections to the Fan(atic)s because they cost less,
They still get paid in proximity to power
Having the occasional binary popularity contest to decide who should be in charge may not be the best method
It been all over since the guy[shrub] who lied us into two 20 year wars & brought us the Patriot act, got re elected
Haliburton won, the DoD who can’t pass an audit continues to have an open checkbook & ever increasing budget
Then we moved to Hope & Change, that turned out to be great for banks & insurance companies
Every cycle is portrayed as vitally important with a platform of
We Suck Less
The Donor Class calls the tune
Allowing money to overtly be speech removed the pretense of representation for the rest of us
The expectations have changed
Avoiding the appearance of impropriety
Degraded to
Maintain Plausible Deniability
Eroded to
Prove it in a Rigged Court of Law Beyond any Conceivable Doubt no Matter How Absurd
Enabling all this is a solid 1/3rd of the population that have reduced empathy
Energized by the various corporate media that have been consolidated into unanimous support for
our not so benevolent overlords
Bill Maher is libertarian
Ron White
Kathleen Madigan
Bill Engvall
Dennis Miller
Not really right wing as old & whiney
Joe Rogan thinks he’s funny
Sometimes when trolling conservatives I’ll exclaim
Stop It
You Know Better
At that point they’ll either shut up or lash out with an ad hominum
Israel is an extreme example of colonization, formed with the barrel of a gun under the guise of returning to homeland. Somehow being at the wrong end of a genocide entitles Israelis to commit their own? Why does the USA continues to support & fund an overt theocracy?
Project 2025 = Powell Memorandum 2.0
Conservative after having their wildest dreams come true packing the supreme court
They needed new dreams
The result a 900 page dream journal
Complete with their very own self induced Armageddon/purge
Conservatives over played their hand
Playing for the tie only works if it’s close
We should all make sure it isn’t, Again!
What’s a mouse?
I use a trackpad
The lenovo version of trackpad on my thinkpad has buttons on the top & bottom along with trackpoint that works when nothing else will…
I even have a usb keyboard with a trackpad
I bought a gaming mouse [not logitech] to set up a distro that wouldn’t install by trackpad for $12 once the install finished, it sits on a shelf
A forever mouse is a solution in search of a problem
The customer base of people who use mice is shrinking, most people use their phones or pads a majority of the time
Not an “artist, songwriter or journalist” You’re on your own
You’re free to be pillaged for you data by ai
There is no ai without stolen data
