Money spent not just on politicians and lobbyists but mercenary scientific outfits that start from the conclusion and design a study to get there, publications and media to get it coverage, lobbyists to take it to the politicians, then donations to the politicians.

I suspect there are direct payments of some kinds or another in a great many circumstances, and that with this new president it’s like everyone pays and he always gets a cut. But I bet there are straight up bribes more than we would think, the supreme court basically made it legal through a number of rulings so it’s not much of a stretch to presume that.

Pesticides are some of the worst most overused chemicals out there, systematically harming everyone to a degree, likely a factor in the vastly lowered sperm counts in the past couple of decades from prior. Also in the collapse of frog, and insect populations, the latter down 90 percent over the last 30 years or so.

What will happen, the party is bringing the military into domestic affairs, not the least using them in bad faith persecution of their others. When that happens, the military sees the weakness of the civilian leaders, the levers of power, familiarity breeds contempt, and they subordinate the civilian leadership.

Then good luck getting rid of the army as the de facto rulers. It will be like Rome, except instead of starting out with Octavian and then Tiberius and some decent emporers we start right off with a batshit crazy sulla.

The president passing to a new leader won’t change it either, this is project 2025 stuff, part of the long game to subvert democracy, the first iteration of which was made at the 1971 business roundtable where they made a wildly successful game plan to cooperate on what they agreed on. Keeping us leaderless and divided and fighting under controlled opposition was key amongst those things, as was destroying any leaders, like union leaders, sicking the mob on unions. They perverted science and academia, changing inflation’s measure to understate it several times, 5-8% a year average from then to 2008 alone under the old metric, 2-3 average under the new one.

It’s always a mistake bringing the military into domestic affairs, it cannot be undone after it gets to a certain point either. It always ends the same.

Starmer is a fucking traitor, betraying the country, it’s people, and the grand tradition of the enlightenment, and the magna carta itself. He’s supposed to be the better option and he has done or stood by and did nothing when the right to protest was made illegal, where lawmakers can unilaterally declare terror groups and people protesting the same issue without even saying the proscribed group have been cynically charged with supporting terror.

They made a masterbairtorbase of every web page you have ever considered whacking off to, are trying to do age checks, all of which for is them surrendering their citizens to tech in league with government, putting an id and likeness to every account and ip and keeping track of everything you say and do and with all the other information make secret social scores to decide everything for us from what we can do to how we are treated to what we are shown online, all on half baked ai programs run by the worst people in the world, like thiel’s palantir, that are deeply hostile to humanity and the environment.

Then they cancelled the goddamned magna carta a little more, the tories cancelled jury trials for up to 1 year in prison in 2020, and now a magistrate their old boy network chooses decides guilt or innocence for up to 3 years in prison. Like it’s a godamned parking ticket. They underfunded the courts and got a backlog and use that as an excuse. This is the greatest betrayal, I’m more angry about it than they are somehow.

England was the first in europe to take certain rights, the right to read and publish what they want, to speak what they wanted, to protest, all to a larger degree than elsewhere. But way farther back, the right to a jury trial to decide guilt or innocence, was perhaps the greatest reclamation of power from government, now cancelled on engineered pretexts in bad faith.

Get that new party, rally to corbyn’s new party, but find a machivellian guy that is aggressive, someone that can build and run a political machine, and cooperate on getting him to raise holy hell to the people, on popular reform. Corbynn doesn’t have the machivellian touch. Or whatever you call it.

People want reform, give it to them. If you don’t, reform the party will give it to them. Labour is handing it to them with these brazen arrogant betrayals of their country.

I don’t think mamadami will be able to control the police well either though. Not sure how they do the city council. I know other cities that have gotten a strong left mayor the business get the city council to strip them of power and give it to a city manager if a mayor tries to take on the cops, or supports striking workers.

I switched from almost all jazz, electroswing mostly, the summer of 2024 and added in what little dark hard rock I knew, or whatever you call it, like tool and rage against the machine, a perfect circle, old stuff. I knew we were fucked in july 2024. For sure fucked I knew before, I actually called kamala getting the nomination after biden back in like 2019.

Want some more kind of dark or hard stuff to listen to, but there was a lot more good rage against the machine stuff than I was aware, they weren’t as popular as tool where I grew up.

It looks like a giant, check this out Johnson!

It is historical if he does double down and use unprecedented again.

Plus Russia was helping him, Obama was too much of a pussy to bring it out in the public. I know the establishment democrats use russia as a shield for them sucking, and they do suck, but russia was meddling, to put the worst person in the world in charge, and obama chose not to tell anyone, let alone do anything about it, because the right wing would accuse him of doing what they were openly planning on doing with the justice department.

A sin brought to unbelievable extremes with biden letting a coup go unpunished, letting almost 3 years pass before they indicted anyone, then just the president.

I wonder if their pick will get the nomination though. Unlike the democrats, the republicans have a lot of ambitious people. They will be knifing each other to get their own guys in there. Might be the last chance to beat them if we had a good candidate, which we won’t apparently.

If true she offered that, she would dishonor it after the material was surrendered.

And obviously they would use it to fix the elections in the state so they never lose. We have to consider most red states are already fixed and we may never be able to win them again regardless of the votes. Are there enough non fixed states dems could win? Idk, not enough with the fucking useless cunt the dem party is going to force though I can tell you that. Newsom had his chance in 2024 and declined, it’s too late now because he’s a follower, not a leader.

The police are fascist generally. They are supervised ostensibly by democratic leaders, sheriffs that are elected excluded. City cops are overseen my mayors and city councils usually, with the power to replace them at will, in theory. In practice they are dirty and the cops could take them down, and were chosen to be weak and not upset entrenched interests, which sucks for us now with Republicans that have learned to play high stakes chicken with them and win every single time.

More than that, they probably consider the attack the best thing that happened to them, gave them an excuse to do the things they’ve long wanted in an environment where the mask is off, and the rot in western institutions is so thorough, nothing is too much for the west, not wars against 4 countries under false pretense and an ongoing ghetto reprisal for 2 years targeting civilians and a ragtag militia with small arms fighting the most advanced army in the world.

The democrats didn’t even try to hide it either, past presidents put the breaks on Israel, no more.

It would definitely depend on circumstances on this one. In california it would pay for itself with less fires alone. But all areas would have less service costs fixing them after storms. My power just went out a few weeks back here, and last year north a ways all the power got knocked out, some for weeks, in an ice storm that left .5 to over 1 inch of ice on stuff or something.

If this was reddit they would get your account violated by reporting you to reddit a thousand times on different posts until one stuck. Or just sending your name to be violated for other reasons.

This is blatant in our faces manipulation for more war with iran so israel can keep the forever war going and not have elections or have the leadership have to admit they made a mistake or as the case may be for them to definitively blame everyone else for it.

Idk why they would allow the failure to stay in to address the fallout from the failure though, that must be from the stacking of their government for 20 years with their appointees and their concentration of and deals with media.

That is 3x the high end of the estimates even in the NYTimes which is Israel’s fairy godmother and bitch and as such pumping their bullshit, which includes inflaming protests and inflating numbers like this.

Whomever wrote this article is a tool. Working to build up more cause for war, and playing the left into supporting it under the auspices of throwing off a regime, when they are in the middle of a war with Israel and the US that they are powerless to hit back effectively in. They are still in rally around the flag, you dumbshits think a protest is going to overthrow them now?

The ones playing you know better, they know they will get protesters killed right now, to justify bombing them again, killing leadership, the aftermath of which would give them neverending manufacturies for more strikes given their dishonesty and media’s craven acquiescance.

Well said. The ones forcing doomed to fail candidates and strategies constantly lob slanderous accusations blaming everyone else for their bad candidates. It was a woman, must have been bigotry, as if that would justify nominating a candidate that couldn’t win for a make or break election. And it’s laughable to think so, the actual left is spited by these candidates at every turn, harris campaigned with liz fucking cheney for god’s sake.

The mythical swing voters don’t exist, the dem leadership has nothing but contempt for their voters if they aren’t donating tens of thousands of dollars. Anyone supporting them at this point is doing the same thing expecting different results, and clearly trusts the wrong people.

But no, let the country burn so you don’t have to admit you were wrong, to keep people in power that hate you and see popular as the enemy in a country that chooses leaders with popular elections.

Probably setting up gas vents to, nevermind.

This guy seems to think he’s going to be around for longer than 3 more years. Old man time seems bound to veto that if the constitution’s plain language amendment is dishonored, which would be a stretch even for them.

They could go prez as vp then have the prez stand down or something stupid like that. Prez will be so far gone mentally the party will be able to run the joint, as they are now but moreso.

Yeah ok buddy, build a dance hall and underground bunker, as you fall asleep at televised meetings and lose your mind.

Interesting. As an aside I read that running a marathon would burn about a pound of fat.
