Oof. This has turned into a pretty good example of why I think it’s stupid when people basically get offended when people don’t “get the joke” in regards to written sarcasm. But I clearly misinterpreted your intention, and made no attempt to get clarification - so my bad! Sorry about that.

And besides, the train driver does not have any control over the route the train will take.

Thank you for illustrating the definition of thought terminating cliche. That’s like, my entire point.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s also meaningless, in the sense that it describes the entirety of society.

Become friends with some gay dudes. Just saying…

He’s certainly in the top ten list of worst human beings to have ever lived

I disagree. I mean, don’t get me wrong - I do think the damage he is causing is absolutely horrifying. But the man himself? Completely worthless loser. Honestly, if he actually was some kinda scheming villain who can’t be stopped, then this bullshit might actually make sense. But he’s just a self absorbed moron with not a single redeeming quality. Literally a complete waste of space.

Fair enough. I mean, they’ll never not pay attention to whatever moves the money, of course. Brrr! Line most go up! But they’re so far up their own asses who really knows why they do what they do. Cause I’m pretty sure the only thing they’ve figured out is what their own farts smell like!

I actually doubt it will go that far. They’re far more concerned with those precious ad views, and the slowdown from encrypting/decrypting every feed everywhere would almost certainly cause a noticeable downward trend in those ad views.

Pretty sure DOGE obtained illegitimate access to the Treasury. So I bet they want a shutdown. They’ll just stop paying the Democrats and act like it’s business like usual. I mean, what’s stopping them?

Good point! And there’s always yt-dlp if I want a copy.

I’m gonna start pirating his show, methinks.

I get the impression his handlers were doing their best to shove him through the door, but he refused cause he needed to yell at a windmill again.

Suddenly it seems obvious to me, in a way. Trump was made totally aware at the time, but creepy old pedophile-in-chief so obviously has full on late stage dementia and lost the money of it. So, worthless ass kissing brown nosers around him have to loudly insist to everyone that he never knew.

Sadly, I’d find it equally possible the orders came through a completely illegitimate channel (coughPutincough). But, yeah, even if the order was relayed in the oval office, Mango Mussolini may or may not have been lucid enough at the time to even be aware. 😝

Wait, what? Direct order of Trump?

That demented idiot is not calling the shots. Not a fucking chance.

They cheer violence done to those they didn’t like, and act shocked if it’s done to one of their own, actually.

They blame all violence on the left. Even the violence being done by ICE is the left’s fault, you see, because the left “made them do it”.

Ugh. I hate that I’m not seeing any major problems with your logic here. I mean, obviously we’ll never know for sure …but fucking eh, man.

Well, not exactly.

The entire purpose of patriotism is the tribalism; honestly, I didn’t believe a government exists that doesn’t encourage “us vs them” thinking. Now, that’s not to say all nations are xenophobic; but just because it’s not taken to the extreme does not mean it doesn’t exist.

At the end of the day this is all part and parcel of the millennia old class war that has fucked up nearly every society on this planet in one way or another.
