I think if we were sent a history book from the year 2200, we would see that history has determine the US was already effectively gone by this point. Most just don’t see it yet. What’s left for us to figure out is where we go from here. So far, I don’t like the chance it is a better country or world.
While not the point of this thread, just wanted to note for anyone struggling, themselves or someone they care about, there are lots of resources for addiction out there. Many of them free.
A treatment center can be a safe place to get clean and gain some knowledge, but it is a lifelong struggle for most who have addiction issues. Going into a treatment center does not “cure” most.
Please seek out help, even if you do not have insurance or are unable to go to a treatment center.
He wasn’t convicted and the whose system was used to cover for the cop. It took two years to just see the actual event. They investigated themselves. The use of the grand jury is almost always a farce. The death penalty is no deterrent for those given Free rein to kill as they see fit with no consequences.
And even if by some miracle those with the power to prosecute do so, they still have to find a jury to actually convict a cop. In many places, that is not happening. The guy in Florida who got some popcorn thrown at him murdered a man and was let go by a jury. And I’ve seen many people argue he was in the right.
It is not just a problem with a corrupt system. It is a corruption of a large segment of society. Too many people are ok with this happening. The US especially is on a course to destruct. I don’t think there is anything that can stop it. It has been happening for a while, and seems to be speeding up. But most don’t see it. Those in the future will be better able to pinpoint when the tipping point came. I think we are already past it. Oh well.
I keep seeing comments from people pretending that the way it is meant to be is the way it is. Trump has said the law is what he says. There is no effective defense against him declaring laws if there is no enforcement. He has defied judges orders and will continue to do so. The EOs are laws because they are being followed and nobody is stopping them.
Saying he can’t do that comes across like a right wing talking point. Trying to convince people that he can’t do what he is clearly doing, so those who are opposed will just sit around thinking the natural order will take care of it.
And it’s working. Sure there have been some protests. But no where the amount needed to make a change. Trump is now a dictator, and far too many Americans are ok with it, directly and passively.
Despite any misgivings republicans might say for a poll, had they asked if they would rather have a democrat in office, the pool would be 90% plus in favor of Trump. It’s simply the way they ask the questions.
These people can try to pretend they are hemming and hawing over these things, but as long as it is their guy doing it, they are ok with it.
Trump is killing people and kids and the best they can do is say they don’t think he is focusing on the right things and these surveys are somehow supposed to show how badly he is doing. These people don’t give a shit and are complicit. They think they are absolved by not approving.
It’s all bullshit.
Oh just fuck off with that DEI shit. I am so sick of being put down because I’m a white man in America. Just one more job i wouldn’t do being taken away from me by illegals.
I volunteered at a soup kitchen once and the place was filled with able body white libs who are too lazy to work. Send them to the mines first.
I mean, I assume that’s who was there taking the handouts. I couldn’t actually show up that day. But I did volunteer and least.
Point is, there are plenty of Americans that should be forced to work in the mines first.
*just as an aside, I’m trying my hand at being maga. Wanted to practice some first, not sure this comment is angry or stupid enough. Any pointers appreciated.
I heard she is a radical lib judge who is unfit for the bench. I saw a picture of her. Not even blond with big boobs. Like how are we supposed to take her seriously? Probably best to just ignore her order, I mean, what is she going to do about it anyway?
Everyday I tighten my maga hat so my brain feels bigger. It’s working. If you disagree, immigrants made you think that.
