perhaps.
point being, it is our own doing.
people take on more concrete action and emotional distress
about a bachelor or real housewives episode than their actual lives
the only thing that stops real change is apathy, an overly cynical attitude, and tens of thousands of russian bots (promoting further apathy)

CHUDs. It’s an acronym :)
Oh yeah we’re super boned.
What use is civility if this is the end result?
i agree.
Agreed. The time for talk is over. The time for protest is over. We need to overthrow these people immediately. I was all for waiting until the elections, but how many people will be murdered or brutalized by these monsters in the meantime? How many children?
This is exactly what I think will happen (midterms). It doesn’t matter that today’s summit will result in no useful action on nuclear disarmament. Trump et al. can claim victory and that will be enough to nullify any democrat advances in the House.
Okay.okay. Theory:
When Trump got elected I said that Trump was simply a mirror of Americans...and instead of recoiling in horror, about 1/2 of us said “Yeah, that’s a good look!”...and then we started corkscrewing into the ocean...
Lol, I’m always saying the same thing about the whole of humanity. More often than not, we disappoint. We are a failed experiment.
To me it looked like Bolton was about to blurt “Hey now, missy! That’s the President of the UUUUnited States yer back sassin’! Keep a civil tongue in yer head or I’ll show put ya over my knee! Ya hear? Now git...GIT!”
And the Sunday morning news shows could start off like “Oooooooh snap! That salty bitch Merckel threw major shade at our girl at the EU summit yesterday evening. Press Secretary Nicki Manaj is here to comment.”
I had a discussion with some friends about this. They were like “At least she’s doing good!” and my take was more “The house is on fire and she just threw some water on a shrub.”
A “20-year-old financier” who got banned from futures trading and was basically a gigantic fraud.
A “20-year-old financier” with seed money from a “family shop in China”?
I’ve run the numbers.
“I’m not gonna respond to a letter from the president’s outside counsel.”
