    Remember when news was about events happening around the world, and not just Moron has opinion?

          An absurd amount of un-elected power.

          He bought his way in. Just with money…not skill, or knowledge, or training, or experience. Just dirty old money.

          That always makes me wonder how many decimals I need in MY bank account to do WHATEVER I want. Even if it’s illegal.

          When PLUNDER becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that AUTHORIZES it and a moral code that GLORIFIES it.

    Iirc the world’s largest provider of gender affirming care is the Department of Veterans Affairs. Via the insane amount of Viagra they prescribe to crusty old veterans who can’t get it up.

    Hmm.

    I forgot; what did most of the population do hundreds of years ago when the richest people in the world were killing a whole bunch of people and preventing them from being able to live?

    We need to be openly calling for death sentences for conservatives.

    Conservatism is pure evil. Every war, every genocide and every act of bigotry ever committed in human history has been committed exclusively by conservatives. There is absolutely no reason for us to continually turn the other cheek and pretend they are legitimate humans. They are truly, deeply evil and cannot change.

    Conservatives are the single greatest threat to all life on earth. If not for conservatives, the normal people would be able to address global heating, world hunger, pandemics, housing scarcity, lack of healthcare, wealth inequality and nearly every other thing that threatens humanity. The continued existence of conservatives is an existential threat to everyone.

    Conservatives need to vanish entirely in order for the rest of life on earth to be spared.
