So close! Maybe next election... Yeah right
Literally no one will believe him, even if they really want to

Lying prick
People also scoffed at the notion the Bush terrorism laws and the NSA spyware would ever be abused to suppress dissidents

If there is ever a happy ending all this 9/11 crap needs to be dismantled
Every so often the ruling class forgets what happens when masses of people go hungry

Maybe they think the mess that follows will be the golden opportunity to invoke the insurrection act. Imagine the arrogance it takes to think that's a great plan
I agree but I worry we're past that already.

Consumption represents a form of consent of the governed, but it seems to me the system they want to establish will not require anything as fikle as consent

If the wrong people seize control of Canada, it could be game over real quick. Fuck around and find out eh
you might want to take a closer look at the Canadian system

Most western democracies have plenty of avenues available for bad actors to seize control. Its ultimately held together by a gentleman's agreement
The first time I saw masked goons it was footage from Belarus of secret police controlling a protest

The whole 'masked' thing is a massive red flag and should never be normalized.
No excuses
Gotta wonder what the other 41-43% were thinking...

"Yay! I get to pay a lot more for insurance soon!"
Kristie and Karoline are like the miniseries version of Two Girls One Cup
Stop kidding yourselves about apple
Crapple didn't have to capitulate very much...

As a brand Apple has long been a snob infested ideological shit-smear operated by control freaks and catering to people desperate for a reason to be condescending to others

Apple is a perfect fit for a fascist america
Did i just understand a Quatari air force facility will exist within the united states

So foreign airplanes carrying bombs will be permitted to fly around ?

What part of this makes sense ?
Thing is 99% of the time the R base knows when fox and the party is lying, and they go along with the talking points because the lies are justification for what they want

This is different. The party is trying to lie to them to screw them over. Different story
Turns out its dangerous to inhale the boot leather fumes while licking
They didn't 'force' Apple to do the takedowns. They didn't have to 'force' anything

Apparently, Apple and that grovelling merdivore tim cook were delighted to be of service

Its very clear Apple intends to fully cooperate
