  • The disease is unlimited money in politics.

    There are billionaires who were already radicalized to this level. They’re just pouring their fortunes into bringing everyone else into their fold, too.

    Remember 15 years ago when Republicans finally stopped going after LGBTQ folks, and how that slowly started to erode after Citizens United? It is not coincidental. There are evangelist billionaires whose only concern in the world is a regressive future, and that’s bad for everybody.


















  • Can you name all of the actors that played Putties in the original English run of Power Rangers from the 90s?

    See, I can set arbitrary, movable goal posts, too.

    It doesn’t work that way. FBI documents remain classified for 50 years before being accessible to FOIA. That means that we don’t have the means to confirm culpability outside that 50-year window.

    I can throw names at you. But here’s what I know will happen in response. You will either;

    A) Claim the person was not innocent. Despite conflicting claims, they either had a weapon, attempted violence, whatever. So they deserved to be murdered.

    Or

    B) The situation is not clear. Nobody was outright blamed. Details are fuzzy. Investigations were inconclusive.

    Regardless of what I post, the outcome will never be “Wow, you’re right. I guess law enforcement does kill innocent people without impetus sometimes.” You will always move the goal posts and claim that I did not meet your burden of proof. Because you’re arguing ideologically in bad faith. And since I’m not a fucking idiot, I’m not going to waste my time.

    And if you want to say that you are, in fact, arguing in good faith, then my rebuttal is simple;

    I’m not doing your fucking homework for you, Billy.
