Target your anger at the tyrants who did that and not the citizens suffering under that same tyrant.

IMO we don't get off that easily. Maybe, maybe, we could make that excuse for the first Trump administration where at least some people could plausibly say that they voted for him not knowing what they were really going to get, and besides - his victory was a quirk of the electoral college system But the second time around? We not only voted him back into office, we voted him back in by an actual majority of votes cast. Like it or not, we have to own this shit.

Absolutely false. But don’t believe me, you can do the benefit comparisons for yourself.

As a descendent of Eastern Europeans who fled pogroms, I used to live under the delusion that the United States was a safe haven from such madness. What a fool I was.

At this point, the only joy I still have is looking forward to the day when a Democratic president and Democratic congress are elected and all of 47's scum-sucking sycophantic residues get hauled out of office by their shirt collars.
Until then, I'll take the little victories where I can, in the courts and at the states level.

Death camps may not be required but the U.S. has set them up already just to be sure.

Sorry, this administration long ago lost any 'presumption of regularity' when it comes to unusual requests. Even the courts are in that position, and We The People should have reached it long ago.

Renting warehouses to store people is definitely close. Even if the deaths are currently accidental.
Edit to add: Which reminds me now of what InfoWars used to rave about. Dems using FEMA to build prison camps. It's funny how these things come back around.

This is why I'd be very wary of getting a diagnosis of something like autism without absolutely needing it. We're always a short step away from eugenics, especially as WW2 fades from living memory, and your "private" medical records aren't really private at all.

My God ...
What is it with this guy and autism? Autistic people are not that bad, you know...
Maybe he should research if vaccines cause narcissism and make a big fuzz about that. Log those types in a database... No worries, narcissists van handle that. They can handle anything, as a matter of fact...

He bragged about passing a DEMENTIA test, several years ago. Which honestly should be a sign of dementia itself.

And that was SF-86 security clearance info. Besides the usual name/DOB/SSN, they also have all sorts of detailed background info about you that most people never share with anyone.

The US literally did this as recently as the 40s. A lot of Japanese-American farmers lost their land while they were in internment.
And then there's the prison system. Somebody's profiting off that almost free labour. Even if it all goes to the state, it's a nice deal for everybody who hasn't been sent to the slammer to benefit from cheap labour, right?
Sometimes I wonder if the hatred itself is even real, or just a convenient excuse to plunder and exploit.

Well aware. But as always, while those citizens will also reap some of the whirlwind they sowed, the actual targeted malice from the government is focused on the people who opposed it. Either because they simply opposed it or because they are part of an "undesirable" minority.

No, we didn't. I've been actively working against Trumpism since 2016, and I'm not talking about posting online. I will not own any of this, I've dedicated a significant chunk of my life to fighting it

Hippa does whatever hhs says it does apparently. And I'm gonna guess that hhs feels this is completely reasonable.
I mean hell the police have been able to access our records this whole time without any justification, so why not. This is why I'm no longer 100% transparent with my doctors. I used to have the policy of complete honesty with them, but this article ended that for me and everything since has only strengthened that decision.

I'm sorry. Seriously, on behalf of my country, I apologize.
The President threatened genocide, not the country. The large majority, even on the Republican side, were against that. There was enough pushback from both sides that he had to back down.
However, it's a war crime just to make the threat, so I hope in the near future he is held accountable... along with his enablers. That can't happen, though, unless Democrats win decisively in the midterms.

Not only that, but he did NOT get a majority of votes cast. More people voted against him than for him.
Stupid third-party voters.

It's not about you.
Trump is recognized as the president, and it's his decisions that impact people in other countries.
Your feelings about your president don't affect what's happening to people in other countries.

No, a minority voted against him. The majority either voted for him or couldn't care less.
That taking stock business seems to be too difficult.
Believe me, we now agree that the USA is exceptional.

Wow, in the land of the free everyone is dissected on the altar of limitless data collection, monetisation and surveillance.
Knowledge is power and all power is to be bestowed on those who exercise greed - sorry - capitalism to its purest form. That’s what Jesus would do and it sure is what the mad king and its puppets do.
All for the grater good of enriching the blessed and keeping the rest right there with their faces in the mud. Foretold by prosperity gospel ghouls and absorbed and acted and voted upon by the empty sponge-like minds of their followers.
America the blessed is now America the raped and trampled upon.
Stand up.

That assumes that the Third-Way Democrats don't just hand wave it all away "in the name of bringing the country back together to heal", which seemed to be the modus operandi of the Biden administration after the J6 insurrection, or that Republicans continue to pull stuff out of their bag of dirty tricks to gum up the process and Democrats don't fight fire with fire.

That was also the Obama line when he decided not to prosecute anyone over the Iraq invasion.
There is a relatively convincing argument that most governments would collapse if each successor held their predecessors liable for any crimes they committed in office.
I had an idea that anyone sitting politician in an administrative / powerful position, Including leaders, should be made to have their record reviewed by a jury of their peers every time they resign or get voted out.
You would have to justify your decisions, have your emails and messages regarding those decisions made public and, lastly, have your financial records reviewed to prove you didn't financially benefit in office. Total transparency.
If the Jury decided you'd acted in bad faith? straight to prison. Asset forfeiture... all the bad things. A man can dream anyway

Breath taking in how illegal this is.
What shocks even more is that they ask for this data anyway.

It could be because of the connection between transgenderism and autism. The prevalence of autism among the transgender population [who have transitioned to any degree] is notably higher than the prevalence of autism among the general population.
One theory for the connection has to with the propensity of autistic individuals in rejecting social norms. Changing one's gender expression is seen as crossing a fairly major societal norm, so it could be that autistic individuals with gender dysphoria are simply more apt to do something about it (like transition) than the general population.
Another theory championed by conservatives is that mental health professionals are part of a sinister plot to manipulate autistic kids into thinking that they are transgender because of the radical liberal agenda, satanism, Soros, profit, or some other far-right Boogeyman.
Some fairly influential transphobic individuals, such as JK Rowling and Ted Cruz, have pointed out this statistic and have called for investigations and additional barriers in accessing transgender care, especially for ASD folks. And given how weird and unhinged social conservatives are by transgender people, how callous they are towards individuals with disabilities, and their obsession with eugenics, this combination of factors is driving them mad.

I never said he didn't win. I said he didn't get the majority of votes. He got less than 50%; more people voted against him than for him.

No. Trump got 49.8% of the vote. Harris got 48.32%. Third-party voters got the rest. Again, more people voted against him than for him.

I wondered about that. You hear the phrase "HIPAA violation" a lot these days, so I had a feeling this might qualify.
And I agree. I want him out of office, but in a way where he knows he's been caught and has to suffer the consequences. If he dies in office, he's essentially gotten away with everything. He has to be punished, and he has to know why he's being punished.

Understandably so! I can hardly sleep at night, knowing such people are out there, and it’s starting to interfere with my work: threatening to kill 90 million civilians unless they end a war we started for reasons we can’t name.
