One could make this argument if there was a semblance of rationality…like, the cost of cheap goods is corrosive to life…we need to rethink our consumption across the board. Or anything that didn’t involve corporation continuing to win the upper hand over humanity.

They used to use wood for Trojan horses…

If you’re not cursing right now, I have a major problem with that. Unless it’s just not natural to you…but for me…it’s part of a coping mechanism that has enabled me to survive.

So, if capitulating to Trump will tank the firm, how could it be any worse to provide Trump with the most ineffective lawyering out there? Perform like you have trumps brain x 10 hammer whacks to the head…

I know it’s too much to hope we have actual “Schindlers” out there…but I’m hoping.

I’m willing to give him redemption, but he’s going to need to run through a few Jeremy Bearimys for it.

Ah yes…capitalist Rupert Murdoch vs. legal academia. Which one is wearing the blindfold and which one is tipping the scales?

The irony is this is just a still…the full animation shows him hurtling the world into the sun…typical of these people always looking at the still that proves their point ignoring the context.

Like the worst endings from the series finale episode of Highway to Heaven…

I mean, the joke writes itself…

Plato was right…democracy was ripe for perversion and fascists are in the perverting business.

If he shuts down the courts it’ll be the most blatantly corrupt thing ever…it would have massive blow back and would rally people. Caving to Trump and his terrorism can not be the long term plan. Even Jesus stopped turning the fucking cheek.

I have great appreciation for that...but, unchecked, it's a pyramid scheme that cannot sustain itself. Trump is a symptom of that. Getting rid of Trump won't right this ship. Getting rid of corruption will. I believe there should be limits on what people can accumulate...the world is everyones.

Capitalist policies will be the end of the world...

I firmly believe that unchecked capitalism is every bit as destructive as unchecked socialism, communism, any-ism...

Right now, capitalism is sick...it has rabies...it needs to be taken out to 5th avenue and shot. Don't worry, we can get a new capitalism...we can raise it right, keep it healthy.

I'll take it!

As I've been catching up on all this CR talk today, the question that keeps staying right at the top of my mind, is Schumer compromised?

It's unfathomable that our leaders, claiming to fight against this mad man, should allow what this CR contains to become reality. No good faith reason for this.
