Lets him run? Fuck that, they paved the way and ensured it would happen. They are fully complicit in everything that is happening. This has been plain as day for years now.

The coup is over, they have all the power, now the only thing that can save us is their incompetence.

was having that exact conversation with a buddy yesterday, he figures we’ll see the first attempt this year.

I personally don’t think you can have a romantic relationship with a thing you created. romance is about discovering, learning and growing with someone else. When that else is a manifestation of yourself, it’s ultimately masturbation.

I love it when a brief comment just strips all the arguments to their core. This is exactly it. I’d say he was looking for a companion, but folks don’t create companions to be equals, they create them to control them.

This is just a really fancy, incredibly power hungry sextoy, isn’t it?

I agree, it’s multi faceted, and yeah, the dems suck too. I just feel people have agency in this, and sometime, when faced with a difficult decision, adults need to make the best choice. I’m a parent and have to make all kinds of shitty decisions, often involving actual shit. But I’m an adult, and I know that a shitty decision that ultimately supports a good outcome, is still the right one.

I’m 100% in agreement that the dems failed, but so did the electorate.

Everyone wants to vote for a principled leader, but there are those of us who aren’t willing to give up the tiny bit of power we have just to try and prove a point.

This is a 2 party system, regardless of lip service. Kamala wasn’t my first choice for president but she was the only one. It was her or the other fucker full stop. So, I did everything I could to elect the one who we had some hope of controlling. The dems showed they ultimately listen to their voters with enough pressure when they ditched Biden, the other guy we all knew what was going to happen.

So, to all those protest voters, I’m super happy for you and your maga companions, feeling so proud of yourselves while the country burns.

I too have been to Jamaica. That second bite of brownie was an experience.

It’s like a weekly headline in the good ol usa. Type “toddler shoots” in any search engine and get dozens of similar headlines.

I didn’t mention parties, shit for brains.

The colloquial we, I most certainly did not vote for this either but I’m American and will be painted with the same brush the rest of the world paints us.

Agree wholeheartedly on the Cassandra’s comment, I’m wearing it as a badge of pride.

Yes, this is the future we all wanted, a workforce consisting of nothing but influencers and prison labor (what else are those camps for). The american dream everyone!

I mean, the us knowingly and willfully handed this fucker everything. This on the heels of the Supreme Court essentially making him untouchable. None of what is happening was a secret, it was literally written down in a plan that we all could see.

America decided that a felon, admitted sexual predator, and a the most prolific liar to ever hold office was a better choice to lead us. I’d say we go exactly what we asked for.

Criminal, that fits, evil, that too, disastrous, for sure, but I can’t call them rogue when this is precisely what we apparently wanted (we tried to warn them).

But think of the internet points. You are hoarding all of them, Abundance114 needs some too!

Aside… I totally agree with your original post. 40 years I’ve been bitching about my awful family. For 39, the rest of them have been telling me what an asshole I am for speaking my mind. For some reason, they have been agreeing with me more and more over the past year.

And it’s all part of ai training data now too.

I used to wonder when I watched “Star Trek TNG” as a kid, how they could ask for and get such detailed biographical information of a long dead person, enough to recreate that person convincingly, in a holodeck. Well, I guess I have my answer.

I really thought I’d be living in something like the federation one day, instead I’m here boning up on the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition.

Fixed - “The US news media is succeeding in its mission to prevent the public from knowing there is a possible war with Iran coming”

What did ever happen to that one old lady anyway?

I haven’t been on facebook in like 10 years, but sounds like it’s exactly as I picture it.

I get that you do, so downvote, get yourself an instance and ban accounts that break the rules, I’m 100% for it.

My initial post I was both agreeing with the comment about the sentiment, that they shouldn’t have to be confronted with it. The rest was an attempt to illustrate why it’s human nature and inevitable. I ended it saying I’m sorry assholes do it. I meant it both politically and in support of the sentiment.

So you attack and swear at me when I agree but happen to acknowledge that it’s going to fucking happen and suggest you learn to ignore it.

Grow the fuck up.

So don’t do the thing you seem incapable of doing and do not engage with it. I never forced you to read my posts, and this is a public forum where people can downvote to their hearts content.

The reason I’m even mentioning it is as a discussion. I’m not doing it, but I am also observant enough of human nature to know some rules on the side of the page won’t do shit. Just like the politics, either do something about it or ignore it.

Otherwise good luck changing reality.

You are very angry about this. I’m conversing about the post here, I haven’t said a thing in showerhoughts. Doesn’t mean I don’t have an opinion.

Have a lovely day friendo.

Sigh, analogies are a bit much for some people huh?

Sorry if some folks have shower thoughts about things that are happening in the world. Ignore the thoughts you can’t handle or grasp. The world has a lot of shit happening and a lot of people take showers.

5 words and I’m the troll.

Best of luck bud.
