Maybe THIS will get the Dems to ditch the filibuster and pack the court.

God I hope so. The 2024 memo should read to every voter: "Hey, the SCOTUS is a fucking corrupt thing where the only thing is to pack them and end the filibuster. Vote Democrat, get a good court you can at least have some faith in again."

It's not gonna happen, but every time Democrats make plans and act on it, they win seats.

With the debate, I'm not swapping my vote for Biden. It's "not all there, can still hold a valid and truthful talk, but not as racist" or "lying fucking piece of shit, who's brain is melting, and hates way more people" as the two options.

Biden is the saner option, but holy shit what a bad debate. I was flummoxed on why Biden's team just allowed it to happen. Faux News is probably lapping this up like a dog on a summers daty.

That's it mainly. Port forwarding improves my torrenting enough to where I get better reliability.

Wonderful software, easy payment, great rates, but lack of port forwarding is a major fallback. I understand it was due to a very minor chunk of bad actors, but that minor chunk was hosting CSAM and other horrible internet-accessible things, and no way to track what traffic is where, means they had to remove the feature for the 98% of good faith users.

But I almost refuse to use AirVPN's software. It's so... weird. I'm thankful they support wireguard with zero issues, so I can just use the default network manager and apps for Linux/Android, but that client interface is so backwards compared to Mullvad and iVPN.

Still miss port forwarding.

That is genuinely amazing, losing 60 ships to a country without an actually big navy. Invading Ukraine to have warm waters for your navy, and you still lose.

This is Russia's "don't invade Russia in winter". Don't launch a naval assault on Ukraine, apparently.

"Fine, if you're not going to vote Biden, at least vote down ballot. Primaries and local offices are the next wave of politicians."

[Funds into primaries to remove progressives from office, backs conservatives because of "electability".]

"Oh uh, sorry. By the way this is you, the pleb's fault, not the rich we gladly accept. Maybe next year we won't pull the football out of the way when someone pays us to?"

We only got Al Capone due to tax evasion, and even Trump gets around that! The fucking mafia committing crimes has to worry about the IRS more than dipshit orange fuck Trump.

Again, can we call ourselves a democracy when one of the "only" choices is a convicted felon who tried to coup the government? Because there's a word for when the "the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens" run the joint, it's Kakistocracy.

Jesus Christ can we just lock him away? Why does he get to run for office, get more money for being a charged criminal, while us plebs have to worry about cops shooting first and asking questions later?

Gag him, but it won't do dick when he's already been gagged and violated it, and courts take forever for the richest and most corrupt fuckers on the planet. He needs to be in jail for his crimes. (Yes I know you can run for office from jail, Eugene V. Debs did it when he was arrested for protesting the draft of WW1.)

Rape jokes aren't cool even if its prisoners or male on male. Jesus Christ.

"He's murdered people and failed to protect the rights of Americans."

"Uhh... so?"

God do you people just like to sound like dismissive pricks to bloodshed or is it second nature to selling your soul to a party?

Can't buy products if the products aren't for sale. That's why they keep doing it. It lets people blame the Russian government and people on buying it and the American government and people for failing prohibiting the sale of it.

When the simple solution is: Don't allow companies to sell products to your enemies when it's war.

Dred Scott is considered what directly lead to the Civil War. But god this one is close to that much of a fuck up.

Of course they're back, they've been back since the 1960s, or 1910s if you wanna go back slightly further.

And as a reminder: Modern gun control laws were started because the Black Panthers also trained and learned to defend themselves from far right militias to express the right to vote and free speech. We didn't start doing anything when the KKK locked and loaded, only when people started defending themselves from the KKK.

2024: "Not Trump"

2020: "Not Trump"

2016: "Not Trump"

God I'm tired of it. I know its the better option, lesser of two evils, I'm going to vote for Biden if I live to November, but we act shocked when we get evil when we vote for lesser evil.

HIPAA violations aren't state, they're federal.

It doesn't help Adobe has software patents for their products, so anyone who makes a similar program has to either live in a country that doesn't recognize the "right" to claim you invented math, or be risk being sued.

Jesus Christ, we learned that fixing the economy via tariffs was bad in 1930. Like holy shit, tariffs are nearly universally agree by every field of economics to be shitty for citizens, businesses, and then the country. It makes no one inside want to buy anything but the simple basics, even with the basics now costing much much more.

I am not a "free trade" person, but this is not how you "Make America Great Again". Even Ronald Reagan and Dubya didn't do tariffs as a replacement for other things.

If there's ever been proof that America has an injustice system instead of a justice system:

• Trump is guilty of all 34 counts, is allowed to still run free, still allowed to run for president, still gets massive coverage from every piece of media, even ones that lean liberal.
• Every single black American has to worry about cops just randomly shooting them, without judge or jury, just executioner.
• Women had their bodily rights revoked by an illegitimate court.
• Trans people are new scapegoat after gay/bi/lesbian people struggled to get the same rights as the 90% since the 1960s at Stonewall.

But sure, we live in a free country where a fascist can be arrested, found guilty, lose more money than any person who could support such a fucking loser would ever see in life, and still do will in polls and not have serious challenge.

Thank fuck. I hope they stay in power.
