The entire system is broken right now, as Kamala said.

I'm not sure how any of this can be fixed at this point. From a political structure standpoint, the US is totally broken and its population is far too polarized to agree in any meaningful way to fix it.

It will truly be interesting to see what the US looks like over the next 20 years.

It’s not just the system being broken and polarized views either… it’s literally the fact everyone thinks everything is a conspiracy or hidden truths now, people believe everything AND nothing at all now.

How do you proceed as a people when everyone thinks everything is out to get you and every decision is the result of a hidden agenda of some sort.

Throw in AI into the mix and we're approaching a world where everything can be considered fake or fabricated.

We can't even agree on basic facts or reality.

How do you parse that?

Trump thread 2.0

Cheeto puts the blame on yet another government official for job losses:


-from CNN:


President Donald Trump has fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whom he accused, without evidence, of manipulating the monthly jobs reports for “political purposes.”

The BLS’ monthly labor report Friday showed that the US economy added only 73,000 jobs in July, far below expectations. It also sharply revised down the employment growth that had been previously reported in May and June – by a combined 258,000 jobs.

After the revisions, the jobs report showed the weakest pace of hiring for any three-month period since the pandemic recession in 2020.


Dumb ass never ever takes responsibility for screwing up anything.

Bureau of Labor Stats is a non partisan department.

Does TACO think that he can hire anyone to give false job statistics to make him the economy look better than what it really is happening?

Just LOL at the irony of your comment. Bro, you are part of the problem.

Remember when you falsely accused someone of causing the Lapu Lapu Day Festival? You have no problem spreading misinformation yourself. Don't think you ever apologized either. Next time wait for information from an official channel.

Cheers,

Yes, he does.

Plus, any news that doesn't paint him in a favourable light is FAKE NEWS.

Not every fucking thread has to be turned into your insane vaccine rant. Do we need to start thread banning to help you out with that?

Trump was in charge of the roll out, this is 100% related to the thread.

How come you can criticize Trump for EVERYTHING ELSE... yet that ONE SUBJECT is off limits?

Skinny...

Bush attacked Iraq based on the "Weapons of mass destruction" lie, 500k+ Iraqis died.

Did anyone go to jail for that?

Do you, or anyone else, honestly think the Epstein situation is going to result in a single day in jail for any of the billionaires and powerful people on the list?

Ghistlaine Maxwell was supermod on Reddit... these people control everything we read, see, and hear.

Does ANYONE on RS believe the official 9/11 story, 25 years later?

Anyone who has been paying attention for a long time knows... this is just another nothing burger. You could have a 13 year old on camera explaining this while she's being attacked and the media will still be able to cover it up or spin it somehow.

I'll eat a dog turd on stream and delete my RS account if anyone other than Ghistlaine spends a day in jail who is connected to Epstein.

See Jason? You can bring more to the convo than vaccine shit. This isn’t related at all though, but you’re 100% right that American oligarchs don’t face consequences.

Then think about this... if Trump IS on the Epstein list (HE ABSOLUTELY FUCKING IS.) then he also has the names of everyone else on the list...

So who has the list, has immense power. It is the one ring.

Imagine now how much Trump could bully someone like Bill Gates, who is DEFINITELY on the Epstein list. Re-watch his interview where Bill keeps touching his hand where his missing wedding ring is.

Anyone remember this interview?

How can you guys not see that you mostly agree with me on probably 95% of the shit I bring up...

...but because so many people took it, accepting the idea that it wasn't benevolent is an extremely hard pill to swallow.

I actually agree with you on a reasonable amount of stuff, however, we will likely never agree on Covid related things. As someone who’s wife saw things first hand in the hospital directly related to that that most people outside of healthcare didn’t, there are gaps in the public knowledge unless people that they knew died or had loved ones die.
But again, we just don’t need to talk THAT much about it anymore. What’s been done has been done, and thankfully, in that regard, things are back to normal and we aren’t left with any lingering rules or stipulations in our current lives that we’re shitty about it. Just keep it to the topic at hand. There is a Covid thread still here and the vaccine shit, even if I don’t agree with what you say about it, can be written to your hearts content in there.

He's the thing...

Things like the Epstein thing will happen over and over again because the system will just cover it up and, in fact, probably use this MORE as it is such a powerful tool to control people. Get them on tape in a VERY embarrassing situation and you've got that person under your thumb.... forever. Nobody is even going to protest this. Business as usual. Trump is absolutely working for a challah-scented shadow government. Give it another news cycle and it will be memoryholed completely. Or just become a meme. "But HER emails!"

The same logic is applied to COVID. They got away with it. 90+ billion in profit, 0 liability, and a wake of bodies that we're not allowed to talk about.

The system won!

The way that President TACO acts now in his second term, he could might go delulu and start acting like Putin.

Put a few American oligarchs into prison like what Putin did to Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Mikhail Mirilashvili. The two Russian Michaels.

Trump loves dictators because he wants to be a dictator. Could he start acting like one towards American billionaires that make him angry?

The whole point of intelligence agencies is so that the rest of us don't have to show any intelligence! They do all the work for us! And keep us safe too!!!

People hold Obama with such pious platitudes but he's no different. Just charismatic puppets engaging in performative theater while their foreign policies erode and implode the rest of the world.

If you were a conspiracy theorist in Canada, you could almost start to suspect that our medical system is being put through a similar "crash and burn" so it can be replaced with something more profitable.



Robocop's "OCP" corporation wasn't a joke, it was a prediction of the future.
