And it's ineffective at that. It doesn't stop crimes committed in the heat of the moment - and premeditated criminals do not expect to be caught.

How is this a bad thing?

She's saying what her leaders and their followers want. In present-day America, you have to do what you can.

Mmm, lard - Homer Simpson would love it. (With vegetable oil, and all kinds of additives, I'm certain!)

I think it's worse than that. Exacerbating climate change and deliberately causing shortages of power, water and semiconductors are integral to their goals.

Interesting idea. More fundamentally,capitalism has to go, which means we need an alternative to money. Its problem is that it's possible to accumulate too much of it.

It would be unpleasant for rather a lot of people.

Only if he doesn't transfer power to someone worse. I really hope these midterms do his regime some serious damage without too many more citizens being eradicated.

The media and pentagon are in favour.

What's your point?

The fake Le Guin comment might be a paraphrase from 'The Dispossessed'. Please don't circulate these - it puts us in the same category as those we despise.

Indeed - it's 'Le Guin' BTW.

They're one pay check from penury, same as the rest of you. Don't judge.

It's the 'uneasy contact lens wearer' face.

It's how the rich get even richer - debt! Most of Musk's 'net worth' is actually mutually-guaranteed loans. Were he forced to liquidate, he might not even come out in the black.

I'm completely with him on this one, though I have problems with his organistion and most of his claimed 'beliefs'.

Vlad's 'vriendje' heeft er al een in Iran vernietigd. Meer dan 165 dood.

It's a tough call. Under FPTP, you just need to hold your noses and vote Dem. If the Dems don't do well, the 2028 poll will be symbolic, as they are in Russia. I agree, so many Dems are unimpressive, like Schumer, Jeffries and Newsom. But if the GOP does well, the next two years will end the US.
