Al Capone didn’t go to prison for operating a racket or any of the numerous murders he committed or was involved with. He went to prison for tax evasion. This might be the closest we get to him ever being held accountable and I’ll take it. Hopefully the court understands this and gives him the maximum sentence knowing the context of his actions.

It’s a bit disappointing, but that’s just how things work.

Also, given that Trump has been comparing himself to Al Capone recently in his speeches, this is quite hilarious outcome.

If it isn’t pedophilia it’s something else: beating their wives, their children, other forms of abuse such as neglect. The GOP literally has attempted numerous times to revoke age of consent laws, laws against child marriage, and child labor laws.

Conservative parents are outspoken about their “right” to abuse their kids through depriving them of necessity or beating them.

The GOP is a party of domestic abusers.

Except when it doesn’t happen:

• Bush II did not win the election, he was appointed before the recounts were even tallied.

• Trump was appointed to the presidency after losing the election in 2016 to Hillary Clinton by the Electoral College. Hilary won by 3M votes or 2% of the vote.

Literally two presidents during my lifetime failed to win the popular vote and every time this occurred it was to the benefit of a largely unpopular political party who used technicalities built into the Constitution to overturn the democratic will of the people. Funny how it never has worked in the opposite direction, almost as if it was built-in with that idea in mind.

We do not have a democracy, we have a sham system that puts the interests of business before the interests of people.

Most conservatives are pedophiles or other abusers. Abuse is what they are conserving.

The US is continuing to engage in genocide by acting as the world’s largest weapons supplier to supremacist nation-states (technically all nation-states as supremacist by definition) such as Israel. The US continues to impoverish it’s own people on top of that and murders tens of thousands of people every year through refusing to implement healthcare alone. All total, hundreds of thousands of people die every year due to poverty in the US, mostly minorities.

This is the same government that also knowingly puts poisons such as lead in our water, see any of the numerous small towns in Appalachia where water is undrinkable; Flint, MI; or Jackson, MS—the latter being a capital of a state.

Yes, the US is a dictatorship. Our elections are a farce. Any attempt at making things better through the electoral system is impossible because it was literally designed from the ground up to be a compromised system where the national oligarchy has the final say. It would take a revolution and the abolition of the US state to fix any of those long-standing problems which are built-in to the system.

As for the ethnic cleansing of minorities—Indian Reservations still exist and when measured are some of the poorest nations, states, and municipalities on the planet. They are literally designed to keep people down by keeping them poor and unhealthy. I’ve been to a lot of places, and few places are people more miserable. The neglect from the US government to fix these communities combined with the still continuing violation of treaties at the behest of US-based corporations are an ongoing genocide on a similar scale (if not distributed) as was is seen in China.

Let’s not pretend the US has any moral authority on the matter here.

“Hostile militaristic dictatorship” is just the United States. There’s almost zero difference between the US and China in those regards. The only real difference is that Chinese citizens are actually being lifted out of poverty at a rate not seen at any point in history while the US is continuing to impoverish their citizens. Both of them spy on their citizens and have insanely racist cultures.

There’s no moral difference between using TikTok and Facebook.

The Torah is part of the Bible. The semantic is not necessary. Also even Jews use term Bible or Jewish Bible when speaking about it too sometimes, including well-respected Jewish theologians.

Most people know the Bible–or rather the Old Testament–is the Tanakh, usually with a reordering of scrolls.

There are people in literally advocating for it and their sycophants support it purely out of the sadistic urge to kill everyone they believe is unworthy of life. See Nick Fuentes, or even to a lesser extent people like Alex Jones who call their detractors traitors. They make it a point to call their opposition demonic and accuse them of witchcraft and blood libel.

Too coherent and not enough rambling.

People keep saying this but I’ve been around since Reagan and with every election cycle things get noticeably worse. The Democrats never keep their promises and continue to cede ground. The Republicans continue ramping up their antics. People said they had enough in 88, in 92, in 96, in 2000, etc etc.

Every time the American people fell for whatever was being peddled in front of them. As someone who is almost 40, I can tell you the only time I ever thought there might be positive change and people standing up for themselves and their communities at large was during the 2020 protests and pandemic. Surely, I thought this would be the beginning of something new.

But the media began to ignore things, social media algos quickly adjusted to bury protests and boost disinfo actors. Now I have to wonder just how much worse things will get if this is what we put up with. What will it take to get people to fight for their rights. If we wait until the government makes us (LGBTQ, etc) illegal it will be too late to act.

I honestly doubt most people will be moved to do anything to defend our rights, they don’t even care about their own until the police show up for them.

Blocked. We’re not here to debate our right to exist. Your agenda is genocide and it’s right to inoculate children against your fascist brainworms. Go buttchug Mr. Ed’s Miracle Paste in someone else’s comments.

Not surprised. Prager U has been gunning for their propaganda becoming official school curricula for years. It was obvious from the start with their bad info-graphics style and the fact they have been pushing their channel on children for years with the help of YouTube’s algorithm. Fascists aren’t satisfied with keeping their politics to themselves, they want to forcefully indoctrinate your children behind your back in the classroom.

It’s time parents push back. Teachers need to strike. Students need to strike. Parents need to demand en-masse that this be removed from the curriculum or they will remove their children from the school. This is unacceptable.

Show me a body or show me a craft. And do it in a way that is undeniable. This should not be that hard if the evidence actually were there. It’s a pretty simple conundrum. The obfuscation necessary to present these things as real would not be present if they were actually real.

As far as I am concerned the whole UFO phenomenon is a psy-op to keep bottom-scraping “researchers” busy, to promote the idea that the US in possision of superior alien technology (master race BS similar to late Nazi-era propaganda), and an attempt at getting other nations to waste money attempting to either “catch up” or attempt to spy on these assets. It also is a way for the military-industrial complex to go to Congree and beg for more money to combat these non-existant aliens and their phantom technology.

Every time I hear the phrase “under oath” I mentally replace it with “pinky promise” because it all has tbe exact same amount of weight. There’s no reason to assume someone is being truthful just because they promised you they aren’t lying.

Then there is the technicality of “if they believe it is the truth then they aren’t lying” so as long as other have convinced them enough for them to believe it, then they haven’t broken their oath.

This is just meaningless elementary school behavior from adults and anyone that can’t see that or thinks oaths and such symbolic social constructs are meaningful are not worth taking seriously.

We’re in an El Niño year, so we probably won’t see a lot of hurricanes despite the record high ocean temperatures. There’s too much wind sheer coming off continental high pressure systems residing over the Eastern US that tends to cause tropical circulations to either fall apart or curve towards Central America or the central Atlantic. Give is a couple years once we are our of the current cycle.

Instead Florida will just bake in record high temps and probably experience some really severe storms caused by the same convection currents that cause sea breezes. These are known for spawning tornadoes, so there still is a possibility for severe weather. Just probably not hurricanes.

We’ll see tho. Hurricane season don’t usually get busy until the end of August through October with a peak in September and this year has been very unprecedented. Who even knows at this point?

Only comments on account are defending a pedophile, white supremacist terror organization. Not sus at all.

Actually, it is extremely relevant to the story that this person was a member of a terrorist group that is for implementing theocracy, repealing the rights of women and queer folk, and accusing their political enemies pedophilia.

One of my all-time favorite Zelda games!

Rothbard is the reason we associate Libertarianism with the Right. He’s the one that suggested calling themselves Libertarians and Anarcho-Capitalists. Before him, Libertarianism was a Socialist thing and had little to do with Capitalism.

Basically, modern Libertarians stole the term from the Left to re-brand themselves as something they weren’t and to create this guise of pretending to care about people’s liberty and freedom—which they also don’t because Rothbard supported and advised Fascists and had no problem with slavery or indentured servitude.

The Right loves to steal and re-define terms used on the left.

I wish we’d stop doing that at this point.
