Without The Wire appearing on the list, it automatically disqualifies itself as being irrelevant.

Russian funded as well.

As soon as they kept supporting him after the “grab them by the pussy” tape, they revealed what hateful bigots they all were. Just because they get dissatisfied with their cult leader doesn’t mean they stop being hateful bigots.

Also the dissent has already been stopped. They have fallen back into line, like the goosestepping nazis they are.

Indeed. With our current system it was only a matter of time. As soon as the internet became a default thing which everyone needed to access just to function in their daily lives, it would of course be subjected to the exact same exploitative mechanisms that the non-internet part of our lives have suffered from since the dawn of history.

This is not about “society as we know it”, this is about a particular way of designing your political system. The American way of doing things in this regard is not terribly widespread.

So no, this is not about lofty and universal concepts like “social contract” or anything like that, it is about specific constitutional designs, which are not the same everywhere. Especially the “checks and balances” system.

Caring about corruption impartially. They may care about it if it is the opposing team doing it, but are perfectly willing to ignore it if it is their own team. And with “they” I mean the Republicans.

Yeah, more like infamous. Basically all other Western democracies have looked at the US system and thought “yeah, we are going to do something else”, except for the ones who were militarily pressed into adopting something akin to the US constitution.

There are no “independent branches of government”. They are all governed by people of the same party. Your assumption copies the beliefs of the original founders that some imaginary “civic duty” would overrule all partisanship, when all recorded political history going back to the earliest civilisations show us that partisanship is an inevitable phenomenon in human societies.

Don’t give them any more ideas. They will seriously do this.

Stop traveling to that shithole.

US justice system working as designed.

Sure, up until humans begin to run out of food in the near future.

Grifting and sheer spite.

Sometimes the cash in works, Top Gun for example, and that is why they keep trying, ignoring all the times it doesn’t work.

The reporter obviously doesn’t know how maga cultists functions. There is no revolt against Trump, they are just waiting for the official Trump propaganda excuse, and in the meanwhile are left to their own moronic devices.

Dying from a perfectly preventable disease by not taking a vaccination, to own the libs. Dying from a natural disaster from which you could have escaped to own the libs. Dying from all sorts of reasons, just to own the libs.

It is a shame that there seemingly is an endless supply of these hateful morons, because even with all the dying they still manage to control the US politically.

The “fuck you I got mine” mentality which drives every conservative.

What is “serious life” exactly?

Rowling literally uses her Harry Potter profits to fund her TERF agenda. So there is no separating the art from the artist there. The art directly is part of the hate.

There are lots and lots of other great childrens books which will be equally capable of getting children interested in books, but their parents are too lazy and stupid to learn about them.

As long as they are Republicans they are not against Trump. They have just added an extra layer of hypocrisy to the already thick layer of hypocrisy Republicans consists of.
