Institutions and corporations that take stances on moral issues are folding under Trump and Putin. If Tim Cook stood against them on behalf of Apple, he would be replaced at the behest of shareholders.

Always, always default to the simplest answer being the most likely to be true. In context, the government is too incompetent to manage such a thing.

True—Trump is obviously a Russian agent based on a wealth of evidence. At best, he is making decisions that mirror Russian goals, at worst, he’s directed.

This is what Russia did in the 90s onward. No one knows what the truth is anymore and it has made it impossible to get everyone behind a unified cause such as ousting Putin.

It is not a coincidence that the same thing is happening here. Russia has long failed to compete with western democracies, especially economically, and has found success in undermining them as they have their own people. This makes them easier to control, to weaken, and ultimately, defeat.

That icon looks like a stylized asshole.

Enjoying Bazzite.

On today’s Worst Idea in the WoOoOoRrRrLlLDdD

Right, but you wouldn’t put a former heroin addict in this position. The optics alone are sure to cause trust issues and this guy is nowhere close to being qualified to run HHS.

I’ll take what can be had from her words, but she cannot be trusted and shares blame for the groundwork for the cult followers we see today. She’s also made a lot of money and is getting out after the fact.

That’s true too

“What? Doct—oh.”

Someone is getting paid with federal tax doctors.

Seems like a role model politician so far.

You can’t argue with cultists.

Goddamit—

Businessman warns attempt at creating profit engine out of mass piracy may fail if people don’t cooperate

George Orwell.

Which is probably nowhere close to the end. We’re probably going to have to go through a civil war, experience a nuclear catastrophe, something to cow the cultists back.

Trump likely knew and has profited somehow.

In the very beginning there’s a scene where people are watching a war film that seemed eerily reminiscent of the attacks on boats in Venezuela.
