Yup.

In America you have to lie, or at the very least dangle shiny things in front of idiots, to win an election.

Sucks, but it's the truth. Talking about actually policy is out of most fool's wheelhouses. Gotta appeal to their simple feelings.

Every time Republicans have had control in my lifetime they have fucked up the economy and made life harder for Americans.

The fact that Americans keep electing them is proof that this country is in steep decline and will continue to be so.

Correction: Trump's father BOUGHT a degree from Wharton.

No one who actually earned a college degree, especially from a notable college, speaks and acts and makes mistakes like Donald Trump.

Yeah, I dunno broseph. Lots of other first world countries have things like universal healthcare, paternity leave, significant and mandatory vacation, longer lifespans, generally higher quality of life and happiness, politics that aren't straight up clown shows, more human rights.

You've successfully nailed an obvious generalization that there are stupid people everywhere, but the point is that stupidity is hyper-concentrated in the good ol' US of A. As is evident.

Yup.

Gonna spend the rest of my life knowing I'm surrounded by fucking morons. And I'm not some genius. I had a typical public education. I guess the difference is I actually paid attention.

Not a great feeling. Especially since that probably means things aren't generally gonna get better. Can't have a good society if it's overflowing with dipshits.

That's ok. You're entitled to defend the dumbfucks that didn't vote or voted 3rd party. Even morons need someone in their corner.

How's everyone feeling about America having Nazi Gestapo and concentration camps?

So an administration not only making enemies of all our allies, but of our own citizens as well.

Maybe the knuckledraggers that stayed home or voted 3rd party should rub some brain cells together next time.

Edit: I love ruffling the feathers of all the dumbasses that abstained from voting or voted 3rd party because they weren't capable of critically thinking. I know you're mad with how things turned out, and on some level you grasp that you made a mistake, but are too full of pride to admit it, and will probably make the same mistake next time around too.

One of the nice things about MAGAts being stupid is when they get mad they get real mad. So as they get more and more mad about the situation under their own leadership, they may be stupid enough to take things into their own hands. And I'm here for that. Let them do the dirty work and end up pushing up daisies or in a prison cell.

Yup.

Even if Trump ceases to exist tomorrow, we're still fucked. He's opened the door for copycat politicians for the rest of our lives. Our electoral system is comically corrupt and non-representative. Our entire political system is comically corrupt with way fewer safeguards than we all assumed. Our justice system is incapable of enforcing the law on the wealthy. And there are simply too many stupids in this country.

No party will ever have the massive majority required to make the fundamental changes required to fix all this. Only one party is even somewhat interested in doing so. Short of a revolution and complete wipe and reset of our government and how it functions, the only way this country is going is down.

Going to the midwest sounds like going to the zoo.

Grew up seeing that tree in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Then some stupid loser assholes cut it down for attention. Hope they suffer.

You're a felon rapist traitor who is sinking our economy and destroying our international reputation.

Investigation over.

I'd also like to vent about him being a FELON RAPIST and TRAITOR to our Constitution, laws, and values.

So he can destroy their economy and international standing too?

Start a cult.

Everything I've seen for the last decade indicates it's pretty easy and highly profitable.

Anyone who's an actual adult knows that this is not how adults behave.

Now imagine the entire fucking building being full of adults that don't know how to behave like adults. Calling the shots for the most powerful, influential nation on the planet.

Because that's our reality now.

Yup.

SSDs are not good for long term storage. "Old" disk drives are still king for long term.

Yeah but if society collapses or there's some long power outage (sup Texas) then this thing could be worth its weight in gold. More than its weight in gold.

Assuming you have a generator.

I mean, I could make tacos at home. Or I could pay a bit more to go pick them up somewhere. I could change my own oil, or I could have someone else do it.

I could spend time downloading all this data and uploading it to a hard drive I purchase. I know how to do it all. But for the price they're charging for the drive AND Raspberry Pi and the service of gathering and uploading the data, it's not that bad of a deal. Especially if you work a full time job and want to use your free time to not do a chore like this. I mean I'm pretty sure there's torrents for Wikipedia. Not so sure about WikiHow.

If the price was higher I'd be complaining. It's pretty reasonable. It's a peace of mind thing without hassle for anyone with even a little extra cash lying around.
