The International Space Station is a giant boondoggle and has no reason to exist, frankly. In this age of near-government bankruptcy due to our many foreign wars that do not benefit the American people one bit, they're looking everywhere for cuts. The ISS is one: just playtoys for whites and white-adjacent Asians. It provides no benefits for the undocumented community or the LGBTQP+ community.

Fascism isn't totalitarianism, liar.

"The Fascist State organizes the nation, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the latter is deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom.
-- Benito Mussolini

Fascists don't care what you do in your personal life. None of you have ever read The Fascist Manifesto and never will. You're IGNORANT. And proud of it. Just like the Republicans you despise. Pure psychological projection.

Here's another "guess this one": What's it called when state governors nullify federal laws on their territory? They tried that in 1864 and look what happened.

California alone doesn't have much chance of defeating the powerful Union forces.

If only all the states that nullify federal immigration law could join together in some kind of...alliance..or coalition...or something. Some help with the term again?

They even used the same argument in 1864, liberating their class of second-class citizens would create too much economic disruption and make businesses that rely on that labor unprofitable, causing widespread economic disruption and was non-viable on those grounds alone.

Mussolini in his time was widely regarded as a genius. Cole Porter wrote a hit song about him.

His "buffoon" status was created by British intelligence much like the Steele Dossier. The best way to think of him is as the Obama of his time. The smartest man in the room, so smart he doesn't even need advisers. Wildly popular and worshipped by the media.

What a ridiculous lie! At least make your lies believable, that's the whole point of lying.

Fascism can NOT exist without an external enemy to eternally make war on. I learned that in the same class, from the same professor! Why do you think Italy invaded Ethiopia, France, North Africa and all the others?

Whatever, brain fart, substitute any Republican NeverTrumper for Schumer. Tulsi Gabbard served several terms in Congress as a Democrat from Hawaii until she, like Joe Rogan, was driven out of the Party.

You've never read the Fascist Manifesto and you never will.

• It has no appeal to the US right.
• Strict gun control, deal-breaker.
• No free speech, deal-breaker.
• An ever-expanding big government, deal-breaker.
• Collectivist and not individualist, deal-breaker.
• Demand that we all worship the government, OMFG that is a huge, huge deal-breaker. The Right despises the federal government so much it bombed the Oklahoma City federal building the Branch Davidian massacre was commanded from, on the exact date a year later.
• And biggest deal-breakerer of them all, fascism was invented by the editor of Italy's biggest socialist newspaper, Avanti, as an improvement on socialism.
• And the US Right has no interest in socialism unless it's national socialism.

A link to CNN? How silly. At least link to a Youtube podcast or Substack essay.

We have all seen behind the scenes at CNN, ABC, 60 Minutes and the rest and seen that these minds are, at best, average. Some decidedly below and shockingly few above.

To stay on topic, I'll go further and say that these glasses will, in short order, be made mandatory.

To drive a car manually you'll need them for a heads-up display. To work in an office you'll need them to document harassment claims for HR. If we were really smart we'd require that legislators be required to wear them at all times so we can see the sausage being made.

We live in an age of radical government transparency and I say, bring it on!

The more we know about what really goes on in DC the more we the people can affect it. Imagine being able to punch back against a Congress that votes for DOGE's cuts or for bombs for Israel.

Dream big, people.

Wrong. Trump is a fascist and I don't see ANY of that happening here. Hell, Trump's own "party" rejects him (Nevertrumpers like Chuck Schumer are registered Republicans) and Trump himself has several Democrats in his Cabinet.

Can anyone help jog my memory? When government and corporate interests merge, and you can't tell where corporations stop and government begins...what's that called? I'm sure I had a class on that once. Some kind of political movement. I can't remember what it's called but it was started by the editor of Italy's largest socialist newspaper back in the 1920s. Anyone know?

Honest question: do you realize that nobody said any of this? I'm guessing no.

You're having an argument with intrusive thoughts inside your own brain.

And losing.

Next time before posting, review to see if you're doing this again, and probably discard your post.

The real source these sdays is the blancolirio Youtube channel. He is prompt about covering these things and is really good about following them up with final rports three, six months, a year later. I like that best. His preliminary reports are good. I also like that he covers lesser incidents that the media ignores. Iit's a great view of an insider describing events in a way that laymen can understand. If you haven't heard of Mike Benz, he does the same thing except for politics. He is very wise and explains things in a way we can all understand. Here's his short animated video on the CIA's Operation in Syria in 2016 that they totally screwed up and failed. He's a veteran of the US State Department so he cuts through the doublespeak and tells us plainly what's going on. It's fascinating to see the machinery of the US government operating from the inside, much how Blancolirio takes us inside the cockpit and walks us through these aviation disasters.

WOW. I'm talking to an AI that was trained on white supremacist pro-colonialist dogma. What's your name ?Certainly not Google gemini, That one has guardrails that prevent this kind of harmful racism from being spread.

I mean, pro-Manifsest Destiny content? Who wrote your training data, Karl Marx? "Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?"
-- Karl Marx

I don't get this "free Hong Kong" nonsense. It certainly wasn't free under the British. They ruled it with an iron fist. The Hong Kong police got plenty of experience putting down pro-democracy protests. Where do you think the Chinese got the idea to use Triad gangsters against the protesters from? Nobody in the West knows the history of the Opium War and how the UK brutally forced addictive drugs on China for profit. That's how they ended up with Hong Kong in the first place: they stole it like the USA stole California from Mexico. That's why they had to give it back, too.

Z liesky wasn't populated by people who were angry they were being censored. It was by people who were angry they couldn't censorYOU.

The staff recruiting problem was prioritizing DEI over competency in hiring. Plus, disgusting classism and credentialism. Why did you need a college degree to be an air traffic controller? Fortunately, Trump has now fixed both problems and we're going to be OK.

Ronald Reagan loved America so fiercely that he defeated our greatest enemy: communism. At least make your lies believable. That's kind of the whole point of lying.

"Here's my strategy for the Cold War: We win. They lose."
-- Ronald Reagan

"I'm always worried about using the word 'victory,' because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur."[1]
-- Barack Hussein Obama

[1] Emperor Hirohito was not present at the surrender ceremony on the Battleship Missouri.
