Is this the pee pee tape dossier?

We’re about 80% of the way to Idiocracy.

WTF are you talking about? I’m sorry, I can’t parse what you’ve said as a response to what I said. I do, however, hear that you are very angry. I’m sorry for your frustration and hope you are able to figure out some positive way to channel that energy. I agree, there’s a lot going on in the world that is super-upsetting. I just don’t think we’ll solve anything by dehumanizing broad swathes of the population. Sure, some people are assholes and they’re certainly over-represented among Trump supporters. But, for example, the other dude who responded about his mother. Someone like her is not such a black-and-white case. And, generally, more is accomplished by trying to understand the motivations of others than by dismissing them as bad people.

Edit: But, yes, some people are bad (Trump, for example). And, it is not a good use of time to try to understand their motivations. I guess it comes down to how and where to draw that boundary of empathy, so-to-speak.

If that let’s you disengage from the issue, then OK. But, alas, reality is more nuanced than that.

A lot of it boils down to abortion. When you see abortion as baby murder, it would take an awful lot to offset that moral significance. In other words, many who support Trump wouldn’t exactly condone rape, corruption, etc, but they feel abortion is a much larger moral issue.

Drums in the deep!

In fact, reality is not apparently basically rational. Why does anything exist at all? Surely, the trivial solution would be a simpler state of affairs. Why is existence not nothing forever? Why there exists anything instead of nothing (let alone you and me, in particular) does not stand to reason.

I doubt it. I don’t think information that doesn’t involve him directly even enters into his awareness.

I suggest spending it on additional defamation lawsuits against Donald Trump.

This is the correct answer if privacy is your priority. They’re not particularly cheap, however.

Shall we unite behind God-King Trump then? The more decentralized and “competitive” the system, the better for most individuals. Sure, there is inefficiency, but those inefficiencies might save us from fascism.

It’s jangling keys. So long as there are enough headlines about cousins banging, we won’t have enough time left over to get upset about corruption, fascism, etc.

The same group that wants unlimited, unassailable power for the Executive is concerned that Executive agencies creating policy is overreach.

It’s almost like there aren’t two sides at all…

I’ve done the same! It’s impossible to buy dumb TVs nowadays, but you can always prevent them from connecting to the network.

Chuck 'em in the garbage and get something that doesn’t break when you insist on privacy.

Woah! Didn’t know that!

“Absolutely. And other powers. It doesn’t have to be foreign powers.”

NSA has entered the chat.

Dude in the white shirt is jacked!
