    Just another right wing nutjob. This one probably finally had enough (but would still vote republikkkan) of all the grifting and pedo talk.

    Why were the SS there if PEDOnald wasn’t even there? Sounds sus.

    Given that most law enforcement stories lately (/s) are completely divorced from reality and fall apart with video evidence, I’d like to see the body cam of this. Now all we have to do is wait for the AI to generate some video that matches the report…

    There’s been a lot of shit going on lately

    A guy charged the white house with a shotty, another guy drove from East Coast to Vegas to attack their power grid again…

    Usually Kash would do a huge press conference for all of these, but they’re happening so fast and there’s so much else going on no one can talk about everything. And by the time they start talking about how bad it is, it’s going to blindsided everyone.

    People without shit to lose, tend to act like it.

        Bunkers just prove yet again the short term mindset of the wealthy. they’re useless. They hold off death for a brief period of time. Eventually though you need to leave said bunker of which we kill you on exit OR you go the hitler route.

        These idiots honestly believe if they throw themselves in one we’re not just going to camp the outside?

          Bunkers only are useful if there is friendly territory behind them.

          If you can’t call the police or your local warlord it’s a prison in the best case and an expensive tomb in the worst case.

            Or air scrubbers if you recirculate. But those are consumable and need to be replaced once they’re used up.

        Marie Antoinette thought she was safe too.

        They all do.

        If they really didn’t, they’d hand back some of the wealth/power to appease us. Which is why when/if they get to that point, we take what they offer and use that to fight for more.

          You joking? We’re not gonna make deals with them. They can’t be trusted. We are just gonna take all their shit and either kill them or put them in a re-education camp.

            If they say:

            We’ll pay some taxes, and everyone can get healthcare.

            As an attempt to appease the masses, I’m saying the sane response is to take their money, get healthcare with it, then immediate go back to demanding more of our shit back from them.

            I almost added this to my first comment, and it looks like I should have left it:

            We need to be like the unhoused population of South Park when pushing for these thing.

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UAF8ISSAdw

            No matter what they agree to give back, accept it, and without blinking or hesitation ask for more.

            Does it make sense now?

              I don’t agree. I think small reforms will rob us of our energy. We need to end this shit, hard and fast, for the benefit of future generations. We need to take bold, decisive action. Small gifts from the ruling class will just make us complacent. We need to take them down hard and ensure they never ever get back up.

    I’m sure it’ll be another right-wing crazy, just like all the others have been. The fact that they haven’t tried to jump in front of it calling the guy a radical leftist means he was probably still wearing his maga gear when it happened.

    They don’t seem to understand that firing up al of this puts everyone in danger, including them. Of course, having a dedicated secret service to protect you helps, but that branch is far from perfect.

      Here’s the thing about the secret service. Fascists/authoritarians are paranoid and obsessed with personal loyalty. The problem with that is it breeds incompetence, laziness, and negligence. You are limiting yourself to an ever-shrinking pool of sycophants, and I think we all know from our own lives that the least productive or skilled amongst us kiss the most ass.
