Our lawmakers are near all sociopathic nhilists that believe in nothing outside of self interest. The only check on their behavior is re election, remove that they will be worse their last term.

Lawmakers that have been in there forever and Corruption and misrepresentation of their constituents may seem correlated but it is not a causation.

It is not lawmakers being in there forever that has caused our lawmakers to suck. It is a very purposeful half-century long campaign by big business, from 1972 in the business Round Table that made a plan to corrupt and ultimately kill the Republic.

The anti cannabis people have zero credibility. They have been lying through their teeth, since before we were born.

The one silver lining is that if the autocracy succeeds all of these guys will be supplanted, many by being persecuted. I suspect supreme leader will have a Joseph Stalin level of paranoia after the epic fight in the Viper pit for that position in 2028. That is if we do not get our shit together and get a popular muscular reform champion to run against them and overcome the vote rigging they plan on doing.

The rich people supporting him will get it worse than anyone, at some point they will start accusing them and seizing their assets, at first those that crossed the party, later seizing assets will be the end in itself.

The courts will find a way to allow them to stack the Fed so they can juice economic growth with low rates. Not only are the courts and especially the Supreme Court Federalist Society hacks chosen to side with party over law, but I believe they have dirt on these guys that could end their careers if they crossed the party.

Given the Supreme Court just canceled the federal courts from issuing Nationwide injunctions putting us all at the mercy of this Administration I have zero faith the court will protect the Republic from being overthrown in all but name for a one party autocracy.

That was perhaps the worst decision the Supreme Court has ever made which will become clear in time. Leaving no way for the courts to stop violations of law systematically by the government. No way to stop martial law and citizens or not being disappeared into Federal Detention on the Declaration of an emergency for instance.

Huh thanks I will have to look into that, not computer savvy here.

I think california has a death with dignity law now too, not sure of other states.

I do not know about the wisdom of using Pentobarbotal, opiates would be best. Mix with benzodiazapemes perhaps.

The religious are on a degeneracy kick across the west, turning us back to before the age of reason.

These laws are religious in nature and should be invalidated as such, along with hosts of other laws. We cannot allow the sheep of religion to take our hard fought freedoms.

Marcos saying he would be out there too if not prez.

If he is serious they should bring the hammer down on anyone buying luxury mansions and Villas and European sports cars with the what was it 9 billion US dollar equivalent of flood control projects that are sometimes non-existent in construction

Yes such a tragedy we will be without kirk’s contributions to society, he was such a uh, uh, something something.

This kilmeade guy is a real pos, these are just the first others they want to Target, there is a very strong backlash against the homeless in blue and red States so they want to set the precedent on this.

There is no bottom or end to this though. The ones supporting such things will be subjected to it themselves in time. And not as much time as one might think.

Straight into the abyss, without strong opposition leadership we are going full Nazi here you better believe it.

The us admin will work to cancel it, as long as google is up to date on their protection money paid under the table through layers of shell companies. Also a specific extra commission. It is exactly like that. These guys are the most corrupt us Administration ever. And they are making money hand over fist under the table in addition to the 3.6 billion extra they have already made that they would not have. They being the president’s share of business ventures. His appointees are getting paid too you can bet.

None it is a dishonest study commissioned for the purpose of a negative headline. To start at it is bad and engineer a study to come to that conclusion.

This is a well fleshed out industry. Just like the makers of toxic pesticides or pfas will do to justify their business.

It is amazing people are not more wise to this by now. But look at our politicians, even our better politicians and I guess I should not be surprised. People still trust Authority. Everyone trusts the wrong people.

The anti-weed forces commissioned these studies to start at it is bad and reverse engineer the study to come to that conclusion. It is a well-developed industry, every company engaged in using and improperly disposing of toxic chemicals does the same thing. Marijuana is not bad for you. If you use toxic pesticides, that would be bad for you. Or contaminated dirt to grow it.

Can we switch over android to open source operating system easily?

What about windows on laptops?

Quit smartphones. Use only air gapped computer, (hoping govt or biz does not send signal to trigger kill switches they are known to have in them.)

I did not have a cell phone for most of my life and I think I was happier without it. Internet was great but the enshitification makes it less and less useful.

At a minimum I want to switch to open source on computers and phone. Maybe the NSA types can still see everything you are doing, but one might be able to prevent the data brokers from getting it, which allows anybody willing to pay for tranches of it to know everything you have done, and that includes every single government agency which buys that data now.

One might think since you weren’t doing anything wrong you have nothing to fear, this information is inherently harmful in the hands of these interests in ways that are not readily apparent. Such as micro targeting on Facebook and such.

He already bullied countries into backing off silicon valley regs and penalties, the eu appeased him so far.

The eu does not need the us they should have held firm, but I guess they are too busy trying to lock down the internet and read everything everyone has done online.

100 percent chance modi is running pegasus and like nso type spyware.

That was likely part of the deal, for expanded or continuing surveillance powers.

Pegasus and the like were likely the flame virus tweaked and repurposed, that infected iranian centrifuges and computers some 20 years back. Described as the most malicious virus to date back then, it listened and watched and logged and shared everything on iranian computers secretly even when off, and ruined centrifuges by mis tweaking their spin rates.

Any targets of bjp should ditch all smart phones.

Indeed, and prez himself is a lifelong blackmailer. I am convinced. Just as epstein was ensnaring swells for israeli intelligence.

Our lawmakers, biz bosses, and appointees are all compromised every which way. It explains a lot.

Israeli intelligence set him up did you guys not figure that yet?

It was a honeypot, a wildly successful one. He used to take private jet flights with israeli spy bosses to israel and back, and other bigwigs of theirs, maxwell might have been his handler even she has some connection to israeli intelligence.

She also is likely to have information that would be released upon her death I strongly suspect.

Something Epstein probably thought he had as well before deals were made, probably with Israeli intelligence that Epstein trusted to not release that info.

Israeli intelligence of course.

That is what this was all about, and for whatever reasons our CIA or England’s intelligence did not stop them and probably helped them compromise all the ivy league secret society swells that the government and business is almost entirely run by, a crime that should be prosecuted whether they are retired or not.

Releasing the files we have may be the only thing that could put israel back on a leash at this point. They are arrogant in their impunity and revelling in their sbsolute control of the us government.

Idk the term limits will help or hurt here. Being limited our lawmakers would sell out all the harder to set themselves up in their last term. It makes sense for executive positions because they can cement themselves in power.

I believe the answer is to organize and find and groom our own candidates that can win. Ones that will acknowledge and address the actual sources of our problems, which would be massively popular with voters you better believe it.

All of the west has had conservative aristocrats take over their mainstream parties, the only reform vote is the far right misdirecting anger from the plutocracy to immigrants and everything else.

Without getting a popular reform option fascists will seize the entire west with russia and the us helping behind the scenes, and fix elections like in hungary or however and we will not be able to get rid of them even as they get worse every cycle.

The western european countries will fall like dominoes with current leadership and lack thereof. We need to organize first, then find and groom real leaders, then take elections and direct anger to it’s sources, the super rich.
