So can someone turn on their sound in a library? How about a plane? Waiting room?
You are probably just doing contrarianism for internet clicks, but honestly if you can't use a public resource without making it worse for everyone else because you can't both not to be rude, don't use it at all.

This is what I mean you gotta avoid, not that it isn't a problem or annoying for you personally in the moment. It's a guy watching a video, calm down.

Ah yes, allowing public resources to be commandeered for personal use by people who care least about others. A great recipe for ruining the public resource, thus leaving everyone else worse off! Healthy modern society in action, kids.
Man you guys gotta be more normal about the one guy on your train not wearing headphones, it's annoying but it's not, like, a decay of society level issue.

Not to beat the dead horse, but folks need to understand the connection between Epstein, Jan 6, and the Obama Admin's failure to prosecute the Bush Admin for torturing and murdering people around the globe. It's all just iterations of the same story. Lots of folks need to look in the mirror.

Mm hmm. People feel real confident projecting how it’s gonna work with the first ever fascist dictator that is plausibly term limited.
Maybe he stays in! Or maybe as the clock ticks down to zero he starts getting real, real crazy. We literally don’t know b/c it’s the first time it’s ever happened.

This motherfucker has been in office for less than a year and has bulldozed this entire country. Also that paramilitary gestapo ICE force isn't going away.
This man needs to be thrown out of office and thrown in prison before he kills us all.

I've said it since this whole thing started, the most predictable thing in the world is MAGA turning on the Catholic Church.
The U.S. bishops defended migrant families. Tom Homan snapped. Nan Hayworth called Pope Leo a “tool of our enemies.” Tim Burchett accused the church of getting rich off of sex trafficking.
Matt Walsh, Lara Logan, and the rest joined in. This is what MAGA anti-Catholicism looks like.

“Pope Leo Is a Tool of Our Enemies”: Homan Leads MAGA Attacks as Hayworth, Others Pile On
It’s the latest MAGA attack on Pope Leo’s pro-immigrant stance. Disgraced border chief Tom Homan — caught taking a $50,000 bribe in a Cava takeout bag — led the charge against Leo and the bishops.

Agreed - institutions that cave (ie collaborate with) this administration should be forced to live with these agreements good and hard.
I would prefer that the next administration punish them for collaborating with fascists. Cowardice should come with a cost.
Same for corporations.
But that will never happen.

The horrifying emails coming from the Estate (and not the DOJ) made me think about something else. Merrick Garland had access to all the Epstein Files and I'm sure he knows what's in them and he could've gone after Trump for that in addition to J6 but he didn't. Garland protected pedos.

something I've been thinking about if/when we retake power is we're really going to need to shock & awe the elites with accountability. hit em hard and fast. gotta break the entire system and don't give it time to regroup.
Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

in the 19th century, there were extraordinarily graphic religious tracts condemning lesbianism and bondage. these were sold for relatively high prices to people who wanted to read about lesbianism and bondage. QAnon is that, but for pedophilia.
q anon specifically is really fascinating given that it was initially founded on an infamous gathering site for pedophiles, moved to the site which was explicitly founded by pedophiles for pedophiles, and basically faded away when its followers just got bored of Satanic Pedophile Armageddon

Probably should have done something about Tether when we had the chance now shouldn’t we have?
Lutnick is the current Secretary of Commerce and Epstein sent this email three months before he died.
Epstein mocked Trump for “leaving his nose print on the glass” while watching young women, wrote that Trump knew about illicit activity tied to Mar-a-Lago, and visited “many times,” and noted Trump’s planned visit to his neighbor Howard Lutnick’s house.

He sounds like an idiot. Would it be ok if this were a time when people were not getting kicked off their healthcare?
Raskin: If this were to pass, this astounding provision would give eight Republican senators a personal payday of at least a million dollars each, paid for by the U.S. Taxpayers at a time when we are throwing millions of people off of their health care…

I think differently about this…I think the whole Schumer imaginary family thing is a very convenient way for him to justify doing things he otherwise wants to do, and not doing things he doesn’t want to do, even if they are popular with his voters. I suspect he knows this himself. Call me cynical.

Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"
