Don't be fooled. His foundation does a lot of real charity but it is still an entity that is under his control and he uses it to launder his reputation while supporting the systems that have allowed him to leverage his wealth for political power. Because of him, the covid vaccine was used as yet another vehicle for funneling wealth into the hands of the plutocrats even though it was mostly public funds that created it.

I'll stick with my steam deck

Like email but in the style of platforms like reddit, twitter, YouTube, Facebook, etc. There is no one site to create an email yet you can send an email to anyone no matter who their provider is. The fediverse aims to do that but with other platforms.

At what point did I say we need to capitulate to these motherfuckers? The only way we're going to end this is fighting back. I mean EVERYONE including the judiciary.

That's the problem. If a deputized officer that is part of a local police force or national guard ends up having to arrest members of the DoJ, it could result in a standoff and give an excuse to our Cheeto in chief to declare martial law. I really fucking hope that doesn't happen or that our generals force him to back down but I very much see that as a possibility.

This is how civil war starts. If the judiciary starts issuing arrest warrants over this unlawful kidnapping, they may need to deputize officers that are not under the control of the trump admin which could pit our armed forces against each other. Best case scenario is the judiciary finds the arrest unlawful and the FBI backs down because they're being threatened with contempt.

Sic semper tyrannis is a Latin phrase meaning "thus always to tyrants". In contemporary parlance, it means tyrannical leaders will inevitably be overthrown. The phrase also suggests that bad but justified outcomes should, or eventually will, befall tyrants.

Yeah, pretty much

"It’s heartbreaking because they care more about the money because they haven’t one time called or reached out to say, 'How’s your kids doing?' But yet they’re out there fighting to get their money back," he said. "I wish they’d put that much care into the victims."

Yep. This is the so called church in a nutshell. They are a corporation masquerading as a religious institution and the membership is ever so slowly starting to realize that.

During my "libertarian" phase I was trying to get into him. I figured out pretty quickly that he isn't well researched and his only response to anything he disagreed with is condescension and pessimistic sarcasm.

I hope to god you're being sarcastic
