The reason it wasn’t done when we could, is Joe Biden.

if I recall correctly, the words were… “nothing will fundamentally change”. a man of his word.

its like the aliens have spliced together every shitty story plot we have ever broadcast on television and are now playing it back for us in our heads.

its presidential pokemon and, now that they have trump, they plan on breeding him hard.

looks like the house of saud has placed its bet.

no one is trying to swing them - they are completely lost to rationality. mobilization is the goal and, I can tell you, there is zero fire out there to mobilize an anti-trump turnout.

many may vote for the genocide enabler over the actual clown-fascist, but we are fucked as a country when, in the face of blatant authoritarianism, the best we can put up is biden. un-fucking-real.

?! and this is supposed to be good news? no change against the narcissist, sexual abuser, traitor, convicted career criminal trying to squat in the seat of power that controls one of the most lethal nuclear arsenals?

damn, that was rough.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

thats sad as hell, man. I am glad your empathy took you in a better direction and you are no longer feeding the beast. stay safe and thank you for the education.

hey, thanks for the detailed run-down on this scam! your background in a portion of this chain sounds pretty damn interesting if you ever want to explain how you got in/out of it.

again, your comment was an absolute eye opener - thank you.

there was a mental word search, glitch in the matrix moment right at that point - read into that what you will, cuz these days all options are valid.

“insinuate” is absolutely the very best word, but publicly one has to walk the fine line between complicity and hair-on-fire alarm, and so “initiate” came out of her mouth.

for the record, I think we are past the face-melting stage.

from the video…

I think we need to be very cautious with the AI narrative where we are being lead to confuse mass surveillance with intelligence and by doing so initiate these corporate technologies into the core of our social and governmental institutions.

so voice typing, huh? not really sure it matters at this point. I use an open source keyboard, but my inputs go right into the OS of the worlds largest spy organization.
