The absurdity of this guy getting a court hearing a day after his arrest, and Trump getting slow walked through all of his indictments over the course of four years is overwhelming.

You can tell who is really in charge when the system is so scared of this guy and his message that they feel the need to put him away as fast as possible while the media drags him through the mud along the way. The oligarchs are scared.

While I don't disagree that right wing assholes have been gleefully ruining everything for pretty much my entire adult life, the billionaires are the puppet-masters orchestrating the entire show, and no matter which side wins, they always come out on top. That's by design. We can't fight a class war when we're at each other's throats constantly and too distracted fighting an ideological culture war that has been raging for decades.

Anybody who is gung-ho about this red team or blue team shit is unknowingly a mercenary footsoldier in the billionaire class war against the poor. We need to start caring less about whether our ninety-nine-percenter neighbor is flying a Trump flag or a Biden flag and start caring more about the point-oh-one percent of fat cats picking our pockets and getting away with it.

Fuckin' snitches.

No wait, hang on, you're telling me that this guy managed to get out of New York City after committing one of the most high profile killings ever and instead of laying low and waiting for the news to blow over he got caught in a McDonalds during an active manhunt with a fake I.D., the murder weapon, and a manifesto all on his person? Either he wanted to get caught, or I smell a scapegoat here. Can't have America's oldest gang losing face in front of their corporate sponsors, now can we?

It definitely seems like the real problem wasn't that Harris didn't make a good or compelling case that her opponent was unfit, it's that they didn't spend any time building up their own case for what they would do differently and instead tried to court the vanishingly small number of undecided moderates and, for some reason, Republicans who will still hate them no matter what they say.

There was plenty of time to run a good campaign after Biden got replaced, they just chose not to for some reason. Can't agree more that these guys should not be involved in politics anymore if they tried to prop up Biden for an entire month after the debate and bury their heads in the sand when he was polling in the toilet the entire time.

If lawmakers would simply make the entity responsible for the operation of these AI powered tools be fully liable for every decision that it makes, right or wrong, this kind of nonsense would vanish overnight.

I hope the people running itch.io have great lawyers, because I would be trying to take Funko to court for punitive damages over something like this.

Also, while we're at it, reform the DMCA to disallow automated copyright related takedown requests without some sort of human reviewing it at the other end. It's been abused to hell and back by big business.

Yeah, the tax man doesn't care how you got it, just that they get their cut. Just don't be stupid and not declare that income... They will know.

What I've learned from this article is that I should be creating memecoins because people are very gullible.

Lmao good luck with that constitutional amendment, Donnie.

This half-baked nonsense is dead at conception because once again Republicans prove they don't understand government.

Fuck 'em all to death.

I had pretty much the same thing happen. In a relationship for 5 years and suddenly she flips on not wanting kids and ends things. Decided from that point on that I would just voluntarily sterilize myself so that my own decision to not have kids is never a point of negotiation with anyone else.
