Trump's gonna build a wall around the whole earth to save us from extraterrestrial aliens.

Nobody's worried about Canadians coming down here illegally. They're too busy being Canadians.

It'll have to be a dome.

He had Trump’s dick so far up his ass he could taste it

I remember the good ol' days when both the Democrats and Republicans wanted him fired back in late 2016 / early 2017. :beer:

I wonder if the Germans ever tried to spin deporting Jews to internment camps as a humanitarian crisis by pointing at how many Jews were affected by German policies as justification for making their antisemitic laws more strict. Then followed it up with scoffs at the idea that it's a manufactured crisis.

Accepting that means being ok with living in a dictatorship

I actually do not think the constitution was written to make it so ONLY congress could punish the president. I think impeachment is about punishing things that aren’t necessarily against the law but unsuitable for the office. Straight breaking the law is no different for the president than the homeless dude outside my apartment. The underlings that were arrested shouldn’t be anymore vulnerable than the president and it’s tradition not the language of the constitution that shielded Trump. Actually, every DC and federal law enforcement officer in America is duty bound by their sworn allegiance to the constitution to arrest Trump.

If the police raid your home and you flush the coke down the toilet you get charged with obstructing justice. It’s a ****ing crime. That he can’t be arrested for it is scary af.

He openly stated it on Lester Holt for the billionth time

Trump is a meme vortex unlike anything the world has ever known. He will never die.

I'm just gonna wait for Yang to make anime real and throw in some sweet $$$.

Truth. Reality split the day he was elected and I don't know if it's ever going back.

It really did. I think it was crazier than 9/11.

I'm bout to start on an entry in my comic book journal about a Judge Dredd storyline that I think has some depressing similarities to the election and I'm hype about it.

When do you think it'd be smart for our government to prepare our economy for a move into pure automation?

I know that when the first signs of automation showed up, they assumed that we'd just get shorter work weeks with the same pay. How naive.

Eventually, possibly sooner than later, I think most huge factories are going to automate almost everything since it's both cheaper and more efficient. What will happen to the working class then?

Is it even possible for us to avoid socialism when we move into automation?

Yes.

We could end up in an endless array of horrifying situations

That is a very common theme of history

Lucem Ferre 04-04-2019 11:04 AM

Yeah, but I mean in a way that is salubrious.

Then no. In order to be salubrious (great word) it has to be based on a postcapitalist model.

OccultHawk 04-04-2019 11:49 AM

I support democracy as you define it: synonymous with any situation you’re happy with.

We want the same things. Yang isn’t perfect.

Ideally, I’d rather not democratize the workplace if I could avoid it altogether instead. That doesn’t mean I don’t want it democratized compared to this fascist ****.

But the left needs to get off each other’s dicks on hypotheticals and the correct way to hate Trump.

You and I agree on the big picture. I’ve removed my bigotries from anything worth discussion.

I don’t like Bernie. You don’t like Yang. But I want to put down our swords unless we’re fighting against capitalism together.

it's a big deal imo

Bernie is better on education reform but financially the education you want is a waste of time even if it’s free and living on $1000 a month is way better than living on zero. And if $1000 caught on it could be $2000 later.

Either way, after the primary I’ll vote D (**** it) and I’m voting for Yang in the primary

so I’m just saying - I’m giving up on a lot of my distant primary political dreams to take a small step - this time we can’t afford to kill each other

and it’s gotta be better than Hilary man

Yeah

I didn’t like it at all when he said it would be in lieu of welfare instead on top of it. That’s weak sauce af. No comeback.

Makes it easy to get some desperate mom pussy though.
