People are right generally about billionaires.

But she’s constantly in the news doing nice things with her money. Certainly she’s doing more good with it than other billionaires I could name.

Maybe the answer to your question is that she already has.

What an absurdly small crown for his head. If you are going to AI yourself as a king, at least fool around with the prompt until you get a crown that’s the right size.

Do with that info what you will. It’s very helpful sometimes when folks claim mod abuse.

only to find out IRL he’s into lame shit like black capitalism.

Does it mean something other than what is here, or did I miss something offensive in skimming through the entry?

This isn’t one of those lame “now they are the machine” posts is it?

This is it for the curious:

This is just related:

Just to start with, Palpatine also controlled the media! The direct connection was already there!

It’s almost like I was right the first time.

Something something stallmanwasright.

I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree. I think the Jedi council was very clearly myopic and hidebound, not to mention their precognitive abilities were blunted by the influence of the dark side, much like the sanewashing of Trump in the media.

Why the fuck don’t Star Wars fans understand Star Wars?

Indeed.

They were absolutely as blind as the Jedi Council, and just like the Council they waited too long to act. The Garland DoJ could have prevented this, had they prioritized justice over cowering to the rich, the powerful, and the fictional consciences of republican voters.

Let’s not forget the quality. Also poor.

Seems a reasonable line in the sand to me.

Well, if we still have a nation four years from now, someone who cares about consumer protection might do something about that.

I’ll try hard not to become a troll posting this under every headline, but that’s my reaction to just about every article now of this sort.

Company, Republican Politician, or Billionaire does something clearly unethical and probably illegal, which is officially noted and reported on.

Yeah, and? It’s not a non-wealthy citizen, a democrat, or an entity targeted by maga as woke, so we can be sure the impact of this information will be most likely zero.

We are on the stupidest, bitterest timeline.

Processing your words is how I determined that you don’t consider us human

Well, goodbye now, and good luck. You can reply if you like, but I won’t see it.

Objectively incorrect

And no, Isreal is not killing nearly as many people,

so far

I’ve had to listen to a year of you shitlibs bleating endlessly about how important it was to vote blue because they’re the lesser evil, now that it turns out Trump was actually the lesser evil, suddenly you’re abandoning that.

You’ll find plenty of comments where I acknowledge that Biden and Harris were bad on this issue, so please, don’t put words into my mouth. My position has been the same. Biden/Harris bad on this issue, Trump worse.

You people genuinely don’t believe foreigners are human, do you? That’s why you care less about saving thousands of lives than you do about whether Trump looks good or not.

Maybe in a few months or years you’ll have a better grasp of cause and effect. Those lives aren’t pawns to me, they are pawns to Trump. You’ve seen his opener so far.

No, I’m not capable of looking two weeks into the future, and neither are you.

I’m capable of knowing how Trump operates though through past experience. And so are you, but you have taken the cake he gave you so you have stopped looking.

I already showed you how meaningless his action was - Israel is just killing the same folks but in a different area now. And I guarantee you it’s only the beginning.

You people genuinely don’t believe foreigners are human, do you?

You’re wrong, but it’s a great way to avoid processing any of my words if you insist that’s the case.

How much do you blame the people who voted for Trump or other fascists?

Every one who can be dead to me is dead to me.

Those who are unfortunately tied to me by blood or marriage get the minimum of interaction that family dynamics require me to give.

That’s how it will stay.

he’s already objectively done more than the Democrats did to reign in Israel

How is it not possible for you (all of you who parrot this) to see that Trump tossed you a brief reprieve so you can make EXACTLY this argument? Are you only capable of looking two weeks into the future or something?

As I say every time: Biden was awful for Gaza. Trump is also awful for Gaza, and then he’ll take down as much of the rest of the world and the US with it as he can.

You are literally and transparently doing exactly what Trump wants you to be doing right now, because it legitimizes him.

Israel Invades Jenin Days After Signing Gaza “Ceasefire”

Israeli leaders suggest the operation was plotted during a backroom deal made during Gaza ceasefire vote

Among those killed by Israeli forces on Tuesday was a civilian named Abed Alwahhab Saadi. In footage posted online, he can be seen walking unarmed along an empty road as he suddenly comes under fire and begins to run before being shot and falling face down in the ground. Another shocking video shows a family repeatedly being targeted by gunfire while driving in their car, reportedly killing another civilian, Ahmed Nimer Obeidi.

Medics also came under attack, with at least three doctors and two nurses injured by Israeli gunfire within the first two hours of the invasion. Israeli forces also besieged Al-Amal hospital near the camp and fired live ammunition from its vicinity while obstructing medics from reaching the injured. At the same time, residents described Israeli troops forcibly taking over civilian homes across the city and turning them into makeshift military positions.

Tuesday’s operation came just two days after the start of the “ceasefire” in Gaza, whose first phase is supposed to last for six weeks. Israeli ministers and media reports have suggested the military operations in Jenin and other areas of the West Bank are part of a deal Netanyahu made with his cabinet ahead of the ceasefire in Gaza.
