  • Trump reacts to dead service members by boasting he got a 'great deal' for their lives

  • I think we will see many middling nations appear after America breaks up, eventually resulting in all the smaller ones getting gobbled up. Mexico, Canada, New York, and California would probably be rival nations after awhile.

  • I suspect that a fair number of Iranians will be joining ICE, and be deporting Trump from this mortal coil not long after.

    As ever with this regime, I am not sure if sarcasm won't reflect reality.

  • The stock market as it is currently structured, shouldn't exist. It is ripe with corruption and perverse incentives. IMO, a stock market should serve the purpose of allowing society to judge whether a company is making good moves over a medium or long timespan, which in turn allow companies to judge the practical value of partnerships or exchanges with other corporations.

    I have concepts for UBI, and how income can work. Part of that is absolute caps on liquid wealth and assets, with company stocks being towards the asset cap. Ownership of stock takes away from one's capacity to have a house, car, yacht, and so forth. The idea is that people initially invest in stocks to build up their money reserves, then get rid of the stocks and invest into their personal living conditions. This shifts the stocks to younger workers, who then build up their future. Each piece of stock costs a set amount, has a guaranteed ROI provided by the company, and can't be sold off for profit until a certain time has passed. That way, people have to choose their stocks carefully, as they will be holding onto them for awhile. The more valuable a single piece of stock is, the longer it has to be held. Bigger ROI is paired with the expensive stocks, but you have to put up more money upfront, and the biggest stocks take years to mature before you can sell it on the market or return it to the company. Stocks can only be sold to citizens of the nation, to prevent foreign manipulation of the economy, and to help prevent loopholes.

    Mind, if that is too complicated or can be gamed, simply banning stocks would be preferable. Corruption is the killer of civilization, if the last decade is anything to go by.

  • IMO, in a overhauled America, no person should be able to own more than one company. Every company's workers vote for who the leadership and their pay is, while retaining voting power for one year after being fired.

  • ‘F*ck You!’ Canadian Podcaster Loses It Over Hockey Players Shaking Trump’s Hand Amid Threats to Seize Country as 51st State

  • I wouldn't shake Trump's hand. It has been up someone's asshole, and they didn't consent.

  • The question Joe Biden keeps asking: ‘You think we can actually come back from this?’

    Jump

  • Those organizations exist to enrich and protect the elite. We need to erase them from existence, and start over with new services that don't have any personnel from the old ones. If nothing else, starting fresh would allow us to instill good character and priorities into our intelligence services.

  • Justice delayed is justice denied. Many girls and now women in the Epstein files can attest to that.

  • SCOTUS gave the presidency unilateral powers for official acts. Biden could have easily threw the bad Supremes into the slammer, release the PDFiles, have Tulsi shot for being a Russian agent, and more.

    Abusive, yes. But at least it would force all the bullshit into the light.

  • It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État

    Jump

  • Considering how abusive he is towards members of the military, I think he will find himself frog-marched out of office.

  • Long as they help promote each other after this election, it is good for them to compete. IMO, a good election is like a good game show: it gathers people together, and makes them feel excited about the possibilities. We need that energy from our good politicians, it makes people say "these folks can do stuff!"

    Whoever wins this election, should help their opposite number get into a high office. Simple as that.

  • I would prefer the burgers to be nice again. The was a time, long ago, when they had that char-broiled texture and flavor.

  • Trump Reportedly Mulling Plan to Declare ‘National Emergency’ Paving Way for Major Power Grab

    Jump

  • If America is overhauled or replaced, I would like the new Constitution to have rules about emergency powers. Namely, the president has a 10 day grace period for Congress to accept the emergency. If they don't acknowledge it, the president and vice president is either executed or imprisoned, the latter method requiring a vote from Congress. Citizens may freely carry out the execution or arrest after 20 days, if Congress fails to implement their decision.

  • Conspiracy theorists were wrong

    Jump

  • Personally, I think the MAGA conspiracy theorists were deliberately engineered by the elite to create anti-LGBTQ+ theories. By projecting a myriad of false conspiracy theories, it helps discredit the actual conspiracy.
