Thanks for looking that up, I suspected that was the case. Yeah, I think it would be a good opportunity to say, lol fuck you, then run it up the courts.
well, seems obvious repubs make sure burr steps down after sept 4th so thereās no special election in 2020āhis term is up in 2022 anyway.
Iām too lazy to make trump attack FBI then FBI go haha FBI go BURRRRRR or haha NC Senate go BURRRR graphics.
Reality is Burr seemed to take his role as intel chair somewhat seriously, which is just unacceptable in todayās republican party.

I know this goes without saying, but Trump definitely discussed the investigation with The Justice Department, i.e. Bill Barr. Like 48 countries probably have tape since he calls everyone on his out of the fucking box iphone.

Much like rape, corona virus is just one of those things you have to learn to lay back and enjoy.
That is way way way worse.
Youāre watching that last 5-10 years before the empire collapses. I know you know this, Iām just pointing out the context of the absurdity youāre witnessing.
Iām not being even a little hyperbolic. The decadence, inequality, and stupidity generally all spike right before the end. This isnāt the first time any of this has happened. Itās also 100% normal for the people of the empire thatās about to fall to feel totally safe in the face of tons of evidence to the contrary. Remember by this point in the life cycle the empire has been a constant in peopleās lives since peopleās great-great-great grandparents time, and people canāt really conceive of it justā¦ not being there.
Look at the end of the Spanish Empire, the Dutch Empire, The English Empireā¦ and those are just the three most recent I can think of. You go look at the end of literally any empire and the complacency is so big you can see it from space.

Neither am I, Johnny.
If I was rich, thereās no better place to live than America. If youāre not in the top 10%, itās not a great place to be. While every country has its problems, the problems in America are absurd compared to the rest of the world. The things that are treated as scandals here in the Czech Republic these days would barely make the news in America.
The extreme individualism, nationalism and victim blaming in America are huge social issues that underlie pretty much every problem that exists there. Not changing those means not changing anything.

Trump forces everybody to use āTrumpisthebestestpresidentā, so itās likely true they had the same password

Iām not even sure if this is true. Sure, your taxes are low, but America has to be #1 globally by a wide, wide margin in absolutely miserable rich people per capita.

I fucking knew it, I tried to find out when it passed last night and couldnāt find it. Good find. These assholes just steal seats like itās their job (I mean, it is). Itās all just a raw power grab, and it ties into what Iāve been saying in the COVID thread. This country is about raw, pure capitalism. Get what you can, zero sum game, nobody is going to be looking out for you but you. Thatās America in 2020.
Republicans get it cause they made those rules. Democrats are still trying to play by the old rules because theyāre stupid/complicit.
If people in Europe didnāt complain, theyād never talk to anybody.

Yah, I was kinda astonished living in France. They have amazing, epic cities and delicious food, yet many seem miserable. Itās like complaining is a past-time for the French and for some reason itās one of the most unhappy countries in the EU.
