  • Fuck the unAmerican, unpatriotic assholes for cheating and stealing the very foundations of our ideals. This is what happens when these people weren’t held accountable for January 6th and the first attempt to overthrow our government. If they had been held accountable, they would not be able to hold government positions and oversight positions over the very things they tried to overthrow. They should have been charged with felonies and lost their right to vote, quite honestly.

    We’ve depended upon the courts to prevent the next insurrection, but they see either already corrupt as we’re seeing with the SC, or they’re toothless due to lack of precedent in this.

    We’re sleep walking into another civil war and the result will not depend upon right or wrong, but will be dependent upon who wields the power and weapons. We can’t depend upon the government or the military doing the right thing as trump will get rid of all the barriers that existed 4 years ago.


  • I agree. I actually think it’s a net negative as well for friendships. As in the case of OP, I would rather get an original email from the sender saying they couldn’t make it, so let’s meet the next day, but instead I have to read thru several paragraphs of boilerplate and AI crap instead, which wastes my time, and I know the sender did it, so I’m mad at them for being impersonal. At some point, we’re just going to have people’s AI responding to each other without any person actually reading it.

    We’re only doing this because every company doesn’t want to be left behind so they go all in. It feels like Ian Malcolm said it best in Jurassic Park

    “Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should”



  • This is what happens when you don’t hold criminals accountable for their actions. If we’d actually been tough on these assholes, then we wouldn’t be in this predicament. What are we going to do when all these states say that Trump won? If the past is any indication, the Democrats will cave and let Trump take office, or will bring their case to the SC who have shown that they don’t give a shit about democracy and will install a Republican regardless of the election outcome.

    We should have tried those responsible for January 6 and held them accountable, including long prison sentences. I’m looking at you, Trump, Gohmert, MTG, and anyone else who actively tried to overthrow our government or gave in-depth, secret tours to groups that tried to.
