    Yeah, really hate the cruelty of my country.

    For half the cost we could be dropping food, clothing, water, and medicine on the people we’re bombing and it would do much more to further the cause of peace.

        If you honestly think that, you need to maybe read a bit more or work on your short-term memory, because you have no idea what you’re talking about. Hell, the last assassination attempt was just a few weeks ago.

          Weird. Not to boast, but my Human Benchmark scores for verbal memory surpass the 250pts mark putting me in the >99.9%ile. Yet I do not recall anything. With all the mnemonics and shorthands that I use to structure my thinking I should remember this stuff, ya see. The assassination attempt must’ve been so weak that it only barely moved the barometer. If at all.

          Funny how people still believe libidnal revenge fantasies go anywhere. Some things never change in certain societies. Whatshisface set themself alight 2024? Or was it whatretheirfaces? And was that really 2024? Could have been 2025 as well. So much for doing things. I guess the geopolitically safer areas of the world, Uruguay, NZ, Norway, etc., will have to watch America helplessly decay into a demented slush of Big Gulps, Florida cosmeticians, and prison laborers, the final form of which being something akin to previously propagated delusions about El Salvador and Mexico.

          But this is just a stupid non-American weighing in. Who am I to say anything to the morally superior unions and bike shops, the YIMBY dads and NIMBY eco-moms, of the nation of Columbia. It is after all their rightful blood trade on top of the lesser lands that keeps the Keep Austin Weird Murals from dulling and the anti capitalist small business terrorist able to sell their anti-capitalist icecreams.
