It is all about the "Epstein class". The reason life is unaffordable is because all the increase in wealth is hoarded by the "Epstein class" which leads to corruption of our politics and the rise of Fascism.

Just saw a Ring ad to find lost dogs. But I am thinking you would have to agree to a lot more than searching for lost dogs. I am thinking you have to agree to ICE accessing your camera.

One reason crypto is bad is there is no recourse if your assets are stolen. Let's say by kidnapping someone and torturing them until they hand over the digital key. There is no way to force the return of the digital key.

ICE exists to enforce CIVIL immigration law, not CRIMINAL law of any kind. Ergo, there is no legal justification for them:
* to be armed.
* to be masked.
* to kidnap anyone they want when they require judicial warrants to make CIVIL arrests.
* to provide security for the Vice President, ever.
* to be armed.

What do we need? Only 5 GOP representatives and 20 GOP senators to stand up for the USA. Sigh.

No there is no strategy. Stop looking to rationalize this diseased behavior. Trump is a malignant narcissist who thrives on conflict and chaos.

Pretty obvious Trump is being treated for early dementia. I’m not worried. Are you?
Lecanemab (Leqembi) is IV infusion given every two weeks for dementia. Regular brain scans (MRIs!) are necessary to monitor for side effects, particularly swelling or bleeding called amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA).

BBC should tell Trump to go away. There is no reputational harm. How can you harm the reputation of this POS. He has a long history of frivolous law suits.

If I were the rest of the world, I’d do my best to ignore the United States for the next 3 plus yrs. With this madman in the White House, the rest of the world can’t trust the United States. As long as this madman is in the White House, the United States is not a force for good.
