In 2016 I thought That’s it, the US is headed for a civil war 2.0 in the next 10 years. I don’t believe that now because no one seems to be doing anything to resist this destruction of democracy by the silicon valley billionaires.
Move fast and break things will be easy for them if nobody even tries to slow them down.
The divide and conquer strategy of the ruling class will work as long as the oppressed are kept busy focussing on their differences.
Well I guess that’ll teach me to try to have a rational and respectful discussion with a random stranger on the internet.
Calm down, smoke a bowl, read books on critical thinking and question the narrative even when if fits your worldview.
I like the example you chose because the facts reported support what I’m saying: eventually, if cops get too comfy planting evidence everywhere, someone down the line is going to notice and the judge will dismiss the case.
How is this related to the police planting evidence on suspects?
High-profile case also means more scrutiny from everyone, which means there’s a bigger risk someone finds out what they did.
I know they do, but they usually keep it somewhat subtle because the goal is to reinforce the bad guy image of someone they already know is guilty (but can’t prove). Planting the main piece of evidence such as a gun is risky.
A lot of people on all platforms trying to explain why he kept his gun, why he was caught so easily, and most coming up with easy explanations that fit their conspiracy theories.
The simple explanation is, he might be smarter than most, but maybe not enough to outsmart the whole NYPD police department. Maybe he kept his gun because he didn’t want to leave a trace. Maybe he wanted to get caught peacefully in a McD rather than dying in a shooting.
Also, to those who still don’t believe he’s the killer: he is. Police don’t go capture a random dude and then plant every evidence on him “because they need a scapegoat”. There’s a whole judicial process that goes on after the arrest, and if he’s found not to be the killer, the police will have to go back to square one on a cold trail. They usually don’t want that.
It’s about the way it’s phrased. If you imply that the cause of their incompetence is the fact that they are Indian, well yeah that’s racist.
According to Republicans, he wasn’t incompetent enough to run a federal agency.
I might be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure about half of this 0.1% are women. The ultra rich aren’t single and they have kids.
I agree with you that gender discrimination is one of the many ways to divide the people, but I don’t see how healing the gender divide will end the growing wealth inequality.
Also : what does the government plan to do with all this new tax money?
The way I see this, they are stopping the proceedings so Trump’s AG won’t be able to end them officially, so they might be able to resume in four years.
What you describe could be said about any management job, government or private.
Bumiller and Pershing seem to have left their post on their own will:

If this kind of thing keeps happening too often, I expect people to start falling from windows.
The fact that he’ll spend all his time playing golf or whatever will leave ample room for all his appointees to actually govern. It’s not Trump we should be worried about.
And even if they did, I don’t think they would understand all the words.
The US is already transitioning to a right wing society right before you eyes. Reddit as well as all mainstream media are just following this movement.
Starbucks, Amazon, Canada post… Somehow, in this shitty timeline, hope isn’t completely lost.
