Honestly don't even worry about it, instead go back and play the 2016 Doom, it's the best of the reboot series. Ton of fun and the soundtrack is killer.

there is only one working solution, and it is to prevent concentration of power, including financial power.

but in the trumpistan this is called "Communism" and is DoA, so the winning bet is nothing will change.

I mean I can read news articles. And you can find the news articles the talk about the corporate commission overriding the locals.

I think the governor is a Democrat so there's some hope but usually you can steam roll locals especially smaller ones. Arizona has a lot of small towns and small cities that won't have the strength to push back against a combination of large corporations and corrupt state governments. It's a reddish state, I think without cheating and gerrymandering it would be a blue state because the statewide races keep going blue but the local races keep going red and that's usually a sign of voter suppression and gerrymandering...

Whatever the case though it's very difficult for Democrats and un corrupt politicians to win small races like the corporate commissioner because people do not realize just how much power those kind of local races have but you can bet your ass corporations and billionaires do

This article is textbook misinformation.

Read the title and the only quote referenced from the declassified document is: “These officials highlighted that, prior to the visit (from Joe Biden), the Poroshenko administration and other Ukrainian officials expected the U.S. Vice President to discuss personal matters with Poroshenko during the visit, and had assumed that the U.S. Vice President would advocate in support or against specific officials within the Ukrainian government”.

Then they quote some op-ed's and some private intelligence analysts but it's all just words from people, unsubstantiated. Then they get the conclusion of the headline with just that and of course, of course it's the Nuland thing. It always is because that's all there is and it's nothing. That's it. Nothing declassified supports the conclusion but they make it anyway. Zero journalism done, there's a reason this is only on substack and X.

"Well your Honor, we've got lot's of hearsay and conjecture, those are kinds of evidence.".

Yep, this is the first sale doctrine. If I buy it, I can do what I want with it.

Though readers can't buy from Kindle, only rent. But I assume the principle would still apply if it were ever tested.

So two of them snuck in by getting nominated? The other two were already around. What about Hegseth and Gabbard? They're not neocons too right?

What's the even the angle here?

Trump wants the war.
Trump is easily manipulated into the war.
Trump doesn't want the war but is a shit judge of character and/or is unable to stand up for himself.

Name names, who sneaked in and how did they do it?

Sure, she's not giving warning she's making a threat. It should be a empty one but look at the current administration she's shilling for.

How many free Flock cameras can we install to entice you?

Of severe RAM and storage shortages. That's because openai has already bought 40% of ram capacity for the next 4 years.

It's possible that the whole thing will collapse before then but I don't think so because AI has the possibility to replace trillions and wages. Remember the problem AI is designed to solve is paying wages.

That's going to keep the 1% pumping all of their money into it and they have about 60 to 70% of the money in the country all to themselves.

While we were getting upset that we couldn't say Merry Christmas or that our kids might be gay they were busy consolidating power and taking all the money.

So she seems to have pretended to be a progressive long enough to get that senate seat and sell her constituency out. Because it's a senate seat it takes 6 years to get rid of her. The people of Arizona did so immediately afterwards. I think she was going to try to run as a independent in the hopes of spoiling the election for the Democrats and giving the seat to the Republican party but she was so intensely hated by democrats at that point she was only drawing Republican votes so she dropped out entirely and became a lobbyist.

Is planning on overriding it. They are all Republicans so they are bought and paid for.

Conservatives and the right wing are all about local government until it gets in their way.

The same model of using the state resources to override local government will be spread across the rest of the country out from Arizona.

Remember it's not small government, it's government small enough to drown in a bathtub. Small enough that you can control with violence...

Her time in the Senate felt more like a stunt to push her own brand and future prospects than any impetus towards public service. I'm not even speaking to the merits of the project, maybe the developers could return and make a better pitch to the town but putting her as the face I bet for at least a few people was instantly suspicious.

Curious though why her answer to the question of what's in it for the town is not quoted in the article, really keen to hear what her pitch to the mayor was (I assume it was tons of money and skirting around their concerns)

Right wing politics doesn't work. It's a combination of trickle down and the divine right of Kings and if you have literally any knowledge you know those don't work.

So the only solution is total media control. Like they do in Russia or China. Otherwise we all see the emperor has no cloths and do away with our ruling class.

So right now in America 90% of media is owned by billionaires, but that's not enough. There's still truth and reality available. And that has to stop.

What are the odds that the daughter of Bill Gates could secure funding for a start up. Didn't have that on my bingo card for 2025.

Somebody once asked, "If Jeff Bezos can start Amazon in his garage what's stopping you?"

Answer: I don't have a garage.
