Comment Re:Precedents only matter when SCOTUS says they do (Score 1) 155

There will not be a Democrat assuming the office of King. Technically, there is not even a Republican in the office of King right now. There is a fascist put there by The Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation. The only way this country ever becomes sane again is to fully prosecute every member and strip them of their assets. Tarring and feathering would be a nice touch for the proletariat to witness, but, sadly, i expect the hangmans noose, ala Nuremburg, is the best that can be expected.

the Congress is the most powerful branch of government.

It would, and should be; however, money has altered that and granted the sitting president the power of a king. The mechanisms are not perfect yet, so there is some friction, but expect there to be no more friction after the current sitting king is gone. The precedent has been set so the population will allow it.

The voters are incompetent and corrupt so they get the government that reflects them. It's that simple.

No, really; Fuck you.

This was all planned and effected over a 70 year span. Some people in the 1950s recognized the 'baby boom' and how that could be taken advantage of. Well, they did take advantage and the 'boomers' were the first and primary victims. Now that they have been stripped of their wealth (and many just dead), there is little left for their children and grandchildren.

You can not expect undirected groups to succeed against the machinations of a concentrated and intentional push over time by a group of organized individuals. You are victim blaming. Evil people are responsible for evil, not the victims... even if the victims are 'asking for it'.

I am genuinely appalled and impressed at the same time by the outpouring of old men yelling at clouds energy here.

So you are an asshole as well, got it.

But I have never once seen a right winger put into words why they are so entertained by right wing content.

Mother fucker. Right vs Left is a fucking distraction. The powerful vs the powerless is the real struggle here. And you keep handing more power to those have the power. Fucking moron.

Then the Democrats come in and fix

And the billionaires aren't going to let that happen this time. They are anxious to become trillionaires.

How is it that you do not realize that republicans and democrats play for the same team: The Billionaires. The cognitive dissonance in your brain must be deafening. The Democrats confirmed RFK Jr for HHS secretary. WTF? The Democrats have voted in lockstep with Republicans over every single bill that has increased the power of the government over private lives. Hell, they were the ones that introduced the DMCA. I can't help but think you are a propagandist rather than an honest human who is concerned about human issues for everyone.

Without forcing women backwards, I don't really see how you turn this around. Maybe enough taxpayer money could influence women to want kids but it would have to be pretty darn generous, enough so that they wouldn't have to work. You won't see that happening.

Ummm, you do not recall the years of slavery very well do you...

Women, if you produce 12 kids for Uncle Sam, you can retire with a house and a pension.

Because a serene scene of a lake with wind lightly blowing ripples across the surface can make an intense coding session less stressful when you stop for a moment. Babbling brooks are also quite nice.

VLC has been able to do this on your Windows (and of course Linux) desktop for many years now.

Furthermore in all likelihood the price of labor in the US HAS to decrease in order to compete. Therefore the rate of wages in the US may decrease due to them.

Wages are already so low that many families have no shelter. Go ahead and reduce them some more rather than reduce your profit and see what the fuck happens. It will not be pleasant for anyone.

This will happen soonish. Guaranteed to happen before 2032, likely before then. :(

Of course, it won't go the way it is planned, but, at least we won't have to worry about how we are changing the climate for a long period.

This has nothing to do with VCs owning everything, and everything to do with the USA politicizing climate change.

Heh. If 'vulture' capitalists didn't own everything, then climate change would not be so politicized. Money is, if you know what you are doing, power. Wherever the money is concentrated, power is also concentrated. That is why you do not mean shit in the USA. You are expendable and nobody needs to pay any attention to you. Why? Because you have no power. Don't feel too bad, most of the rest of us are in the same position of being disposable.

If you want your country back, you have to take the money from the people who have it. They effectively stole it, there should be no qualms in stealing it back.

The thing about being charge is that the person also thinks they are in control. If push comes to shove, Microsoft will re-home in another country and tell the USA to fuck off. All of the huge companies will do this. They do not NEED to be in the USA. They started here and have an advantage here, but once that advantage is gone, so are they.
As Princess Leia said, the tighter you grip these star systems, the faster they will slip through your fingers.
