People who vote for the Democratic party can get disfranchised easily, but the Republicans don’t.
They will reliably vote Republican even if their party slits their throats, takes a piss on them, and kills their women.
This is the current conundrum.
Looks like it is time for the Red Scare 2.0! Anyone who is woke is up for deportation. Better not be woke! Definitely don’t ask us what woke is because that is also grounds for deportation.
Instead of being President he is busy building monuments to himself. Garbage administration.
They literally skewer artists like her all the time. What kind of unholy abomination of voter demographic manipulation is this combination!?
Is it a pick me competition designed to appeal to rich men. I can’t even with these people.
It really sucks the way they treated AIDS initially. I still know elders who believe it is a divine punishment for gays. So many people died needlessly because of this.
This doesn’t even scratch the surface of the American genocide known as the war on drugs though. Millions of lives lost and tens of millions of families destroyed. All completely preventable.
They knew all along the right thing to do, but they had to go after the poor and minorities. It was one of the most disgusting representation of oppression and classism in modern times.
I am sure they have some good “rationale” for redacting what looks to be a significant portion of grand jury testimony. Of course the administration did say they would release them, but probably back tracked or they are “protecting” the victims.
I personally think it is bullshit. They are handling it like top secret stuff. The President clearly has the authority to release this considering his current MO. It is a giant middle finger to the public.
We got them, hundreds of pages blacked out completely redacted. It is absolutely ridiculous
Edit: for those who are curious.

That is fucking ridiculous. This is NOT national security shit it is a pedophile ring of rich people who used airplanes and islands to molest children without getting caught.
Because our system is paralyzed with corruption.
The worst part is there are many ways to fix the problems. It is ultimately a cultural issue because our existing system would probably work fine if people weren’t a bunch of greedy pig boys.
It is going to happen because he will finally bring a good face to ICE. Someone to rehabilitate their image. A people pleaser!
They should wait for halftime at the Superbowl to introduce him. Just when Bad Bunny starts singing Joe Rogan should storm the stage, dressed as an ICE agent, and the pick up BB and body slam him shouting, “This is what you get spic!”
All of Bunny’s dancers strip off their clothes revealing they are actually the new ICE dancers. A funky groove starts with some powerful bass backing it up.
Suddenly thirteen jet fighters fly overhead in a tight formation breaking the sound barrier just after they buzz the stadium.
Explosive fireworks go off all around the field and an ominous voice shouts out, “Are you ready!”
Kid Rock dances onto the stage as the new ICE dancers back him up. He shouts into a golden microphone, “We cancelled this woke halftime so Americans can get what they crave!”
As Kid Rock debuts his newest song “ICE, ICE, Save me” ICE agents arrest Bad Bunny and rough him up on stage for everyone to see. After Kid Rock finishes his set he shouts, “If you are brown it is time to leave town!”
Finally, the camera pans to an empty bench on the field and we can see the ghost of Hogan side hugging Kirk as they sit together crying in joy at the scene they had just witnessed.
What in the serious fuck is wrong with ICE officers. They aren’t professionals, they are a joke.
Threatening the crowd? I can’t even with this level of stupidity. Dumb thugs.
They don’t want Americans to have the great healthcare they get.
Let’s force one of these low cost catastrophic plans on all of Congress. We will even give them $1,000 to start off their HSA with. That should cover a visit or two to the doctor for the rest of their miserable lives.
Until we stop this blatant classism nothing is going to improve.
I did some basic research and made some assumptions. 1-2 million cocaine users that self identify. More likely 10-20 million users with a lot of those being casual take it or leave it users. Probably just under a million chronic users.
So let’s just say about million grams a day over a million users. That is about two tons. I think this is probably an underestimate, honestly.
Obviously my methodology is not great, just rough guesses based upon the best information.
A rough estimate for cocaine use alone would be anywhere from 4,000-12,000 pounds a day for illicit US use. It is a staggering amount of drugs that need to be made or imported for US citizens.
They also need to send several more times than this to keep supply flowing because of interdiction, waste, and shrinkage. So we are talking about 100,000-250,000 pounds of all illicit drugs every single day.
The War On Drugs was unbelievable success for it’s true intentions. A lot of people don’t understand that it was really a war on minorities. At best it was a political tool to suppress the public and at worst it was a multigenerational genocide.
Instead of giving people the hope and tools for a better future, our government used it to strip our rights, normalize police militarization, destroys countless families, and let people die from overdoses needlessly.
The loss of life is staggering. The dramatic drop in quality of life is mind boggling. The reparations the government would owe if this reality would reach the masses would be easily a hundred trillion dollars if you also count the destruction in Mexico and South America.
Do people realize how much drugs are brought into the US everyday? These small boats wouldn’t even be able to supply a small city. This is a complete joke. War on Drugs theatre.
Did you forget decades of drone strikes with highlights such as blowing up a civilian wedding?
You are not wrong, just a couple hundred years late to the party.
Blah blah. You can’t change something if you don’t understand it.
I am pretty sure you mean that we exist because of the ruling class. The American Revolution wasn’t really a popular uprising. It was a bunch of wealthy people seizing power through propaganda and terrorism.
There was never the “people” as you put it. It was a country by the rich for the rich with a nice helping of liberal propaganda the placate the masses.
We should turn his birthday into National Greed Day. A day to recognize how money has corrupted government!
Which is ridiculous considering Reagan had no fucking clue what he was doing. He was a puppet President who had such severe Alzheimer’s by the end all he could do is sit around and eat jelly beans while his wife and administration ran the show.
