Even so, he said given the choices on the ballot, he still would have voted for Trump—reflecting a dilemma felt by many in rural America.

It's all clowns all the way down, isn't it?

Based on how many corps bought out by private equity get stripped for parts and destroyed, I'd say the outcome is relatively similar.

I would prefer the deaths didn't enrich the oligarchs more, but I am actively trying to pull back my spend on all corporate stuff because of this exact horseshit. Lots of others are, too. Maybe others think I am just pissing in the wind, but at this point I give zero fucks what others think and vote with my wallet until I can vote for people who will regulate this shit like a functioning government is supposed to instead of this reality tv garbage.

Oh well.

I'm a Toys-R-Us kid and I think maybe we didn't need all that fucking plastic.

We will survive without Grand Slams.

It's time to put the corporations back on the back burner of Americana.

An impeachment process would seem to be a great way to put RFK under a spotlight for this plan. 🤷‍♂️

I asked for a suggestion and got back a screed. Let them worry about legislating, then.

What can you or I do right now instead of whining about their job performance? What could you do in your community? Maybe if you tell me a challenge you want to tackle toward this end, I could tell you one I'd like to take on in mine and we could try to motivate each other.

This is our chance.

What would you suggest as a better, more effective, outlet?

As it stands, you are just commenting on the internet while others are advancing legislation. I am curious what you are doing that is so much more effective that the rest of us should be considering.

This reality tv governance makes us and everyone else less safe.

America is broken.

"I monitored Trump failing to deliver on all his promises but it was only once he attacked me, personally, that I decided that mattered."

I don't know how to react to people that are this detached from reality.

I could do with never hearing about this game or developer again. 🤷‍♂️

 
 

[Jury Nullification] is when the jury in a criminal trial gives a verdict of not guilty even though they think a defendant has broken the law. The jury's reasons may include the belief that the law itself is unjust

Until the wealthy and powerful are held to account, why punish your fellow everyday citizens? Use your brain. Decide if what they're charging people with is suppression or actually keeping society safe.

When those prosecutors start losing these cases, maybe they will start to rethink who they are focusing on.

 

... at least how it'd be for me.

 

I saw other reports in the recent call for problems of errors around searching, but this seems, to me at least, to be reproducible.

edit: to be clear, this is using fedia.io - I am not sure if this bug affects mbin/kbin more generally, I've only tested on fedia.io.
