Sadly this is correct, and no one likes it because people want to see punishment. The same process that created the problem cannot solve it. The only way is to remove power and money (which are the same basically).
I want people to realize prosecuting the police is always a long shot and even when successful that it hasn’t produced any observable change in behavior from the police in general.

This began a year of deadly force across the US that continues today. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Buncha people on here saying The Good Place, and I'm sorry but its chance to be "best" was ruined by promoting the idea that infinite life would eventually become stale and boring.
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

Nuclear proliferation has some very obvious and severe downsides.
But the most powerful nuclear arsenal in the world is controlled by an unstable rogue state. That doesn’t leave anyone with any great options.

"The incoherence of the admin's communication suggests what happens next in Venezuela will be an unfolding series of screwups. If these clowns can’t even get the American public to support a war, do we really think they’ll be able to manage an infinitely more difficult task of nation-building?"
Trump's Venezuela adventure is already a propaganda disaster
Nobody is buying it, and we don't even know what they're trying to sell.
