Trump’s base is a lost cause, but the pain may get the soft Dem voters to get off their arses and turn out for the next election.

Nothing will shift Maga, so appealing to them is wasted.

Well, the Roman Empire took about 450 years before to started to go tits up.

All great empires go through to decline, the fascinating thing about the US is that it happened so quickly.

Yeah, just the Chinese aps do that shit. Regular Western apps always protect your data and would never misuse it in any way.

Nice try, Zuckerberg…

The traditional deal is you only get to threaten folk who haven’t access to nukes. If they have, your threat can be ignored. That’s why North Korea is a thing and Saddam Hussein isn’t.

This. I hate the stuff. Can’t sleep and get a killer case of restless legs.

I am prone to respiratory complaints, it’s my weakness. However, I’d rather have that misery than pseudoephedrine.

Damn, this always happens to me when I don’t put me specs on?

Yes, the lesson is personal security -not trying to be a cunt to the health consumer.

Maybe Bruce Wayne reversed his policy on forearms?

He, ‘something, something’ and ‘found out’.

TIL that Twitter is still around in some form. Why do people bother?

Oh no’s. A stranger on the internet doesn’t respect another stranger. How will I be able to cope?

Anyway…

How American of you to assume that I am unqualified to have an opinion about the US supporting a genocide in the Middle East. Should the rest of the world just look the other way?

Nobody is arguing that Trump isn’t a disaster. However, your country elected the bastard, so it’s fundamentally your fucking problem. A problem you guys are also inflicting on the rest of us.

Having said that, I agree with many of the points you are making.

I’m not American, so our perspectives will always be different. From where the rest of the world is sitting, Americans have never given a tin shit about natural justice or respect for another country’s autonomy. You guys have been in the coup business for over a hundred years. How many governments have been overthrown because they weren’t compliant enough, not friendly enough to your corporate interests or simply standing in the way of your geopolitical ambitions? Pacific islands blown apart or outright stolen, dark money handed to murderous dictators, killer regimes installed and resources sucked away. Spare me the rationalism about one particular brand of domestic American politics being slightly less worse than the other. If your country is balls deep in the misery of what’s going on in Palestine already, there won’t be too many left to murder when Trump takes office in January.

Coke or Pepsi, feller.

Yeah, yeah, but fundamentally, what’s going to be worse under Trump on that score. With Israel, Dems and GOP are Coke-Pepsi all the way down. Are Democrat bombs kinder than Trump bombs?

You buy a pair of shoes, the maker is paid. Why do you have to pay the bastard every month?

True. But if that happened to you involuntary data violations would be the least of your problems.
