  • He’s literally at a fundraiser with a bunch of pro-business fucks giving this mealy-mouthed speech. He literally expanded all the worst parts of the Bush admin which are now being pointed at US citizens like mass surveillance.

    No he didn’t explicitly vote for it himself, but he admitted himself that if he had run in the 80’s he would have been considered a Republican. For fucks sake, “Obamacare” was actually “Romneycare,” can we stop acting like the entire party apparatus as a whole doesn’t deep throat big business? Because it fucking does and it doesn’t matter if he didn’t directly vote for that himself, he’s still part and parcel to the people who make it this fucking bad. That’s literally the people he is giving a speech to here.


  • Because they are the ones who care about shit like environmental regulations and not polluting our cities to make new housing, especially when so much property is being held and unused by an investor class who refuses to release it until they have a profit on the deal. I have lived in two northwest cities in the last 15 years where the downtowns are barren with empty buildings that could be sold, torn down, and built into apartments. But noooo in each city they’d rather clearcut the wooded areas and build there instead all the while whinging about environmental regulations making it costly.

    Whatever the fuck happened to that Eminent Domain shit? Why aren’t we using that for the good of housing people?






  • Look, don’t destroy my hopes for seeing a revolution from people doing silly walks. Things are awful, gotta have some levity in there.

    Also, more seriously, never underestimate the US governments willingness to embrace a half-baked technology and willingness to embrace false positives as positives.

    See also: Airport x-ray body scanners, polygraphs, “non-lethal” bean bag/rubber plug guns that are totally lethal if you use them “wrong,” and also more recently in the words of ICE Director Tom Homan “they don’t need probable cause to walk up to somebody briefly detain them and question them … based on location, occupation, their physical appearance.”
