#Trump, who, imo, should be in prison, instead is in an ice cream shop and the grinning woman taking a selfie with him, disgusts me almost as much as trump!

It most certainly does not “complicate” the efforts at police reform. It illuminates. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/28/us/police-tyre-nichols-beating-race.html?smid=tw-share

Time and time again, the courts have ruled that the police are under no obligation to protect you. The cops who cowered outside that classroom for an hour listening to the dying screams of children were properly following court orders.

Cops do not exist to protect you from criminals, they exist to protect wealthy people from YOU.

Police brutality is not a case of a few bad apples. The barrel itself is rotten.

The next time you hear Republicans in Congress complaining about the debt ceiling, remember that approximately 25% of the total national debt was incurred during the Trump administration.

The notion that Republicans care about the debt is one of the biggest lies in politics.

This is why I do my podcast.

Hitler didn’t build the path to the Holocaust alone – ordinary people were active participants

Dragons that hoard treasure & wantonly destroy swathes of human beings to protect & grow their fortunes…
The billionaires of folklore?

Did any of the sci-fi authors come up with “AI will colonize human culture by digesting all of past human culture and vomiting it back at such infinite scale no human can find another human”?

So, the ChatGPT business model is going to be about selling tools that can detect its own output.

In terms of knowledge, veracity and the entire concept of truth, they’ve built a robot that is going to shit everywhere, and then sell you a dowsing rod that might let to navigate that shit without stepping in it. I’m sure the first time you use it, it will be very affordable.

It’s amazing how many people are lining up to be 10x or 100x shit-producers.

Are we ready to talk about how police dressing in riot gear and acting, well, like cops, makes crowds more likely to riot? No? OK then. Proceed.

@pivoinebleue Can we please disbar this worthless scumbag? #DisbarBarr

“"In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory. It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don’t shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren’t damaged; they’re strengthened, matured, humbled. US needs to do same re slavery. Not that complicated.”

Here we go.

The Georgia governor declares a state of emergency. 1,000 National Guard troops are activated to protect a militarized police force

…with the taxpayer to pick up the check if there are any civil suits.

Ugh. I don’t understand why Trump is still walking around free. I also don’t know why William Barr hasn’t lost his attorney license?? 😡 https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-nyt-barr-durham-russia-investigation-20230126-uw7fl7ftabcuxanbhu3qoab33a-story.html

Domestic terrorist Tyler W. Massengill has been charged with using an explosive to set a Peoria Planned Parenthood on fire

This “pro-life” republican didn’t check to see if the building was empty before setting it ablaze

Ready for his motive?

The criminal complaint states his then-girlfriend had an abortion three years ago and it upset him.
