Sounds good to me. Thank you. I still have love in my heart for you, but you are definitely an enemy. I would rather trust my fellow citizens than give all authority to government. I fully support you giving up all control in any country different than the one that I live in... but not in my country. Governments throughout history have been shown to trample all over their citizens for nor really good reason, so yeah, I am not willing to agree to let them do that without resistance.

When people are paid enough to care, they will. If people are not paid enough to care, they won't. We are currently operating in the "not paid enough to care" area across the entire Western World... so this result is entirely expected and is the norm as various tests have proven. *shrug*

Of course, some folks won't care, even if they are paid, and some folks will care, even if they are not paid, but the general idea still holds true.

Traditionally we get 8 years of Democrats fixing Republican malfeasance.

Give it a break bro. The Democrats are a fully own subsidiary of the Military Industrial Complex. They aren't fixing shit; they are merely not doing as bad of a job as the Republicans. (in some ways, they are even worse than the Republicans because they pretend to be your friend sometimes)

Thoughts and prayers that one day the US gets politicians brave and principled enough to get rid of the fucking guns.

I see what you really mean: You hope that the citizens of the USA can toss aside their founding papers so that the populous is entirely undefended except by the police who like to kill citizens. "Citizens! Fellow Countrymen! Lend me your ears: You must completely surrender to my government in order to live peaceful and happy lives. Do Not Worry! My government only has your BEST interests at heart. We would never lie to you. Trust us!"

You are an absolute fucking moron sir. I am NOT surrendering to your power nor anyone else's power. I do not expect my fellow countrymen to do so either. I have been in places where everyone was armed with military grade weapons and I felt safe and secure. You do not feel safe and secure and want your countrymen disarmed. That is fine. Move somewhere that works like that.

making up all sorts of allegations up to and including murder

Vince Foster would beg to disagree... if he were able. I saw the headlines at the time. Dude had committed suicide by shooting himself in the head more than once from the top down.

Yeah, yeah, I know, there is no information stating such anymore. The Memory Hole is alive and well.

I am betting that none of you remember what Bin Laden said in August of 1998 either. I saw it in a printed newspaper. He said something very similar to: I may not have 5 million dollar cruise missiles, but I can use your planes as missiles.

And, just in case it wasn't clear, fuck you, mother fuckers.

YOU do not get to control how I use a product that I bought. *I* get to control it. I will not buy your shit. I would rather sit in a 6x10 room with white walls for the rest of my life than PAY for someone else to determine what I can or can not do.

Just to show how fundamentally I am against this concept: Fuck you mother fuckers.

We all find ourselves using shorter and shorter-handed prose in our professional and personal correspondences as a matter of course. Time is money after all.

It has nothing to do with time and/or money. Shorter sentences are used because the leaders are fucking morons and stare at you vacantly when you attempt to speak in even the most limited erudite manner.

Me speak with leader. Me speak with few words. Leader stare vacantly otherwise. Complicated sentences or words that are not used by a fourth grader are beyond their capability.

To be fair, this is true of the general population as a whole, not merely the leaders... but it does indicate that we are being led by inferior people.

Comment Re:Early-career, care to explain what early means? (Score 1) 53

Early-career means old enough to be able to spot issues with work ethics while young enough to be naive and malleable. Two year stints to be able to weed out those who made it through the first pass. Eventually, a solid group of people who will work on any project, no matter how odious to Liberty, Freedom, and Democracy, to complete the full takeover of the USA.

What "they" don't realize is that by taking control this way, they lose everything they wanted to get. There will be no creativity, nor even the ability to create. Only solve immediate issues. It is a straight path to hell on Earth.

He is just a symptom, and a recent one at that. Him dying will not solve anything as the infrastructure which brought him to us is still there and waiting to foist someone else upon us. This isn't about him, he is a just a useless fool who is easy to manipulate.

Try listening.
Try acknowledging.
Try reflecting.
Try redirecting.
Try doing the work of actual empathy, not just the performative convenient pseudo-empathy that people talk about on social media but only apply to those who already believe like you.

All of those are fantastic suggestions; however, I would add another suggestion that is likely to trigger everything you are suggesting: Go live in a politically stable foreign land for a while. Meet the people. See how they do things. It will be vastly different than what you are used to... and yet, you will still see that they value family, integrity, etc no less than you and your country do.

If you are a hateful shithead... don't even bother. You will find nothing but confirmation of your biases.

Comment Re:Trump Trying to Silence CNN (Score 1) 206

In what alternate fuckin' reality do you live in where Republicans have dominated the Big 3, NPR, Newspapers, wire services, etc etc etc?

I will not argue whether or not NPR is "liberal" or "democrat" or whatever. I will concede your point that it is NOT conservative; however, I know nobody who listens to NPR, not even myself (which is why I will not argue your assertion there).

Newspapers are, or at least used to be, "big", but your assertion falls flat on its face there. One example is that The Washington Post, a very major newspaper, was purchased semi-recently by a conservative. Numerous other newspapers are also owned by conservatives. Your point falls flat here.

Wire services are essentially fact repeaters and in fact, appear to have a conservative bias to the facts that they look at and reveal. It is other news organizations that do the editorializing.

Ultimately, you will have to provide a much more coherent argument if you would like anyone to listen to you assertions.

Have a nice day. :)
