What I find most surprising about this election is all the people talking shit about how old Trump or Biden is. Ronnie literally had advanced Alzheimer’s for the last two years of his presidency. Full stop, his mind was gone.

The fact that our country allowed this to happen speaks volumes about what our President actually means.

Scotus has always been conservative. Get out of here with this bullshit. You think a few liberal rulings sprinkled over the cake of conservatism means anything? History has already proven otherwise.

They are not. It is past time to call them on their psychological manipulation bullshit. Addictive feeds are also just the tip of the giant shitberg that corporate run social media has become.

That is some good stuff actually. All the haters can focus on non-existent AI and the rest of us can work on improving society while they are distracted. Perfect scapegoat.

Translation: US automakers are worried about Chinese imports servicing a sector they have abandoned.

That one trick NASA does not want you to know about.

First, how do you account for all the art made before copyright existed. Second, what about all the art created everyday where the creator does not pursue copyright let alone try to enforce their rights in a court of law. These two scenarios disprove your assertion that art needs copyright.

Perhaps you are under the misconception that artists need to make a living. Art is an expression of our culture and it is not inherently tied to making money. How many people are creating art right now without the intention to sell it. I will clue you in, there is a lot of people, millions who do this everyday.

The amount of art created for personal use dwarfs that of commercial use by a thousand fold. Copyright does not need to protect these artists at all. Read that, the majority of artists do not need or ever use copyright.

All art is iterative. This means every piece of art is built upon the art that came before it. Copying is literally how it is done. You know Led Zeppelin just copied a bunch of old blues songs? Oh you didn’t because you think artists create stuff out of thin air apparently.

Stealing is depriving someone of their property. Copying does not do this at all. You are pushing a false narrative to prop up your flawed argument. Plain and simple.

Humanity as we know it existed for ten of thousands of years without copyright. Copyright is the anti-thesis to creation. Everything humans create is iterative. Copyright along with the rest of intellectual property seeks to pervert creation for personal gain.

Art does not need copyright to survive and I would argue that intellectual property is not needed to promote the arts or science. It is designed to do the opposite which is limit creation to the benefit of the individual.

What makes this worse is the individual is now the corporation. Do you know that a lot of successful artists, particularly musicians, don’t even own their own works?

Corporations benefit disproportionally by copyright. They have lobbied for decades to further pervert the flawed intention of copyright and intellectual property to the breaking point. Simply put, going down the road of trying to prove who created what was first is wrong.

Creation does not happen in a vacuum. Pretending that we create is isolation is farcical. We are great because of all those that came before us.

The telephone was invented by multiple people. The Wright brothers had European counterparts. These issues around intellectual copyright are a lot more complex than we are ready to admit.

We have billions of people now. Stop trying to pretend any idea, drawing, tune, or writing is unique. Rude wake up call, it is not.

They are only accepting that it is not a winning issue right now. Trust me, if they thought societal sentiment was changing against gay marriage they would be right back at it.

They will never be satisfied regardless of how far they manage to push back.

She is willing to going to war for the rights of racists and misogynists. It really boggles the mind that these people exist in our modern world and actually get support.

Trying desperately to paint them both the same is a tired old schtick.

Let’s just say that mental health is not a high priority in the US. It is so bad we let our politicians gaslight and lie to us without any consequences.

The US population increased by 0.5% in 2023, adding more than 1.6 million people to reach a total of 334,914,895.

No way, I am sure he just sits around fantasizing about race wars and his father assassinating political rivals. We will never know for sure…

Where is his statement? The PR guy said he had other commitments. It is not like he said fuck that shit I don’t want to have anything to do with it.

Your are right about not being a typical conservative. Hell, I would say you are nothing like any conservative I have ever met.

-There is only one bad political party and them their is the demonrats

-The government needs to listen to its backbone like it’s farmers and ranchers who produce all our food

-We should fight to force Americans to agree to our latest cultural war issue which is (checks notes) trans pro-palestine homeless immigrants athletes.

-The senate keeps a check on the liberal infested congress and helps prevent the people from inflicting their whims on the wealthy

-The right to vote should be suppressed when it is convenient and gerrymandering should be used to dilute any minority voting power.

-Religion, just like our moral and values, should be intertwined with the government. Freedom to spread Christian religion but not freedom from religion.

-Ending differing viewpoints such as woke culture is the only way to save America. We have to cancel woke

-Firearms are the only thing that separates the good guys from the bad. There would be no school shootings if every child was armed and trained to shoot.

-Laws should be written by our corporate overloads. SCOTUS will save our country now that we have packed it full of god-fearing conservatives

FTFY

Why the crazed conspiracy nonsense when a simple explanation will suffice. He was pushed through the ranks by Reagan and then nominated by Bush for his ideology not for his experience. The anti-thesis to Thurgood Marshall if you will.

The point is money and power win.

The right wing censors everything that is not lockstep with whatever the current message is. They carefully curate their message boards while decrying when others do it.

I used to use Reddit a lot and I talked a lot of shit over the years. The only time I got a temp ban was for posting that the GOP should take out Ron Desantis like the dirty diaper he is on a Pro-Trump discussion.

When I pointed out my comment was rather tame compared to the others ones on the post the mods claimed I was harassing them and tried to get my account banned. It was insane but I learned an important lesson.

Ah yes, because the separate but equal worked out so fine in the past. This splitting hairs nonsense is what leads people to believe it was state rights that caused the civil war.

No, segregation was the problem just like slavery was the problem. Thomas is riding the coattails of all the people who fought for his rights and then spitting in their face.

That he lucked out, betrayed his own kind, and became a Supreme Court Justice is not some dramatic success story. He was put their to prove a point. And the point is monied interests win over everything.

Here is a man who could care less for anyone less fortunate than himself proving that corruption is color blind. A man who fashions himself as self made who relied on society every step of the way.

A man who is so hypocritical that he is unable to comprehend how far he is denigrated his position. Or perhaps he does and that is the whole point

And when they finally caught him
