@davidplouffe@AJentleson So, when fascists usurp our government the way Nazis usurped Germany in the 1930s, who is going to save us the way the Allies saved Germany? Germany and Canada?
@davidplouffe@AJentleson@TheDemocrats@GOP I'm asking because you're a figure of authority, @davidplouffe, and figures of authority are ostensibly in control, or so you would have us believe. Or maybe our so-called representatives are just middle management for a bunch anonymous faces.
@Kasparov63@jennycohn1 These are crimes and misdemeanors of the utmost highest order and magnitude, and the outcome of these events will define the future of the country. It needs to be treated accordingly, @POTUS, @SenSchumer, @Sen_JoeManchin, or . . .
@joshtpm@TPM If @Sen_JoeManchin and @kyrstensinema don't do their fucking jobs, my generation will bury them so deep in the shit of history, their great grandchildren will hang their heads in shame.
@joshtpm@TPM@Sen_JoeManchin@kyrstensinema Hey, @Sen_JoeManchin. An old friend once dated a doctor who worked the ER at Cook County Hospital. One day, CPD brought in an inmate from Cook County prison. Dude had a deep gash in his flank. Doc noticed boils and suppuration surrounding the wound and took samples for testing.
@joshrogin It's a virus. What are you going to do? Put it on trial? Researching the origin of the virus makes for good soap opera, but it's already here, isn't it? Go ahead and research it, but our collective effort should be focused on how to deal with clear and present, current threats.
@joshrogin *IF* there was a lab leak, there's no telling where it leaked, and Nature is more than capable of cooking up a virus as dangerous as any weapon dreamed up by mankind. How do you trace aerosol pathways from over a year ago? You don't.
@joshrogin The labs are a *human stop-gap* for a *natural remedy* to heal the destructive encroachment of mankind. They create catalogues of dangerous pathogens in Nature, then recommend methods of containment, but YOU CAN'T CONTAIN NATURE. Assuming that you can is hubris.
@MichaelRapaport@nbcsnl I didn't watch @elonmusk and I won't. Tesla isn't interested in saving the environment. They're destroying it. Elon's not looking for solutions. He wants control. He's lying about his company's beneficent intentions, which has acquired large government contracts.
@MichaelRapaport@nbcsnl@elonmusk@elonmusk wants to be the next Henry Ford: goose step, protocols and all. How many Nazis do you think preached "compassionate conservatism?" The only reason he described Dogecoin as a hustle is to distract from the fact that all of cryptocoin is a hustle.
@MichaelRapaport@nbcsnl@elonmusk The only value in cryptocurrency is its anonymity and selective illegality. Cryptocurrency was designed to evade government regulatory agencies. Every dollar invested in cryptocoin enables human captivity, domestic terrorism and and drug trafficking.
A not-so communal quote from Friedrich Engels . . .
"Drink is the only thing which makes the Irishman’s life worth having, drink and his cheery care-free temperament; so he revels in drink to the point of the most bestial drunkenness . . .
. . . The southern facile character of the Irishman, his crudity, which paces him little above the savage, his contempt for all humane enjoyments, in which his very crudeness makes him incapable of sharing, his filth and poverty, all favour drunkenness."
