  • It would be like Israel where it ends up banning high level officials from even travelling thru a country’s airspace

    But, I think it would be believable for stuff to come out in trials and due to the international and high level corruption of this case, if some countries don’t prosecute their own, other countries governments have a responsibility to disclose the evidence and that the offending countries know but refuse to act

    Fuck it, what’s the risk in burning a bridge with trump when he’s so fickle?

    Either way it won’t last, but this has a shot to get rid of him, which every responsible power wants.




  • It’s the entire administration…

    Everyone forgets trump got the Epstein files term 1.

    So term 2 after Biden did nothing with it, trump (his handlers really) felt comfortable using it as a list of candidates, because if any of them don’t do what Trump says at any point, they can just burn them with the blackmail material they have, and absolutely no one else would protect them.

    That’s why there’s never going to be an article 25, even if he tries another coup.

    Everyone in Trump’s admin will fight tooth and nail for trump, because if trump doesn’t get what he wants he releases their Epstein dirt.


  • Buddy…

    I’m not saying they never do it.

    I’m saying the opposite isn’t true either, their top post is literally filled with people shit talking Israel.

    Obviously I had some sort of problem with it, because I’ve blocked their whole instance already. Just like I’m doing here as soon as I hit submit.

    You don’t have to interact with everything online. If an admin is a piece of shit, just stop going to the small insignificant corner of the Internet where they have control. It’s literally that easy.


  • They delete anything questioning Israel’s geopolitics

    The clearly don’t…

    As evident by that comment thread I just linked…

    Like, this is the opposite of how it’s supposed to work. One person makes claims, the other refutes with evidence

    I’m providing evidence, and your refuting it with claims the already provided evidence disproves?

    That’s enough to tell me he’s bad faith.

    Maybe the admin is a douche, that would explain why I blocked the instance…

    But that’s not the same as saying:

    They delete anything questioning Israel’s geopolitics

    Specifics matter



  • Quality Control is what you’re paying for…

    For pretty much any type of product where quality shouldn’t matter you can buy cheap, normal, expensive, insane.

    100/1000 of cheap ones might have sleight flaws.

    10/1000 normal may have flaws.

    1/1000 expensive

    And 1/100,000 for the insanely expensive ones may have a flaw.

    So even if their optimal performanceshould be the same, the more expensive it is, the less likely the manufacturer lets subpar products out to market. Often it’s vertically integrated and as batches fail they get bumped down to a different label

    Do the test again, they might score the same. But do it enough, and you’ll see the expensive ones eventually pull out ahead by a very sleight amount


  • This article makes it out to be an Israeli operation…

    Because this guy was Israeli and he had a (reasonably popular) Israeli bullpup?

    The article to the Cali event has similar evidence it was Chinese, except the Chinese stuff was at a higher level:

    “Inside the Reedley Biolab, officials observed blood, tissue and other bodily fluid samples and serums; and thousands of vials of unlabeled fluids and suspected biological material,’ raising the concern that they contained pathogens,” according to a federal report from the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. Some of these vials were labeled with the names of pathogens in English or Mandarin.”

    Like, doesn’t mean as much as it used to that the Feds think it’s Chineses and located it as part of an investigation into the Chinese government…

    But it would seem more logical that this is just one Israeli working with the CCP, or at most that the two governments are cooperating than this is an Israeli operation that randomly has a CCP member in the media of the chain above this guy.




  • It’s not as rare as people keep acting…

    He was on a hit TV show 20 years ago, but it was his breakout so he probably got no residuals

    He wasn’t broke, he was a landlord that made like 12k/month off rent. But if his net worth was in the millions it was probably just like two LA houses that most likely still had mortgages. If you’re going off websites it’s probably reported wrong.

    Like it’s applicable to everyone because insurance shouldn’t be tied to employment now that wages aren’t capped due to WW2 anymore, but it’s not like he was the 1% either. You gotta be well over 10 million for that.

    Which should make us realize how bad wealth inequality has gotten. To the actual oligarchs Dawson and the rest of us are the same.


  • He was a fake Democrat before his stroke

    Then it was a con long enough to get his wife and every other friend, staffer, and family member who has spoken publicly about it…

    Like, that’s what makes brain damage so dangerous: the subject doesn’t realize they’ve changed.

    He rationalizes away his prior opinions and it sounds like he was never progressive in the first place, he most likely doesn’t think he was.

    It’s not like brain damage draws a line with a sudden change, it makes the person forget who they used to be. They view every memory thru the lens of the present, especially in Fettermans case where the damage is localized to frontal lobe.

    I’m not defending him and this a million times worse than what you thought, but that’s why we need to understand it, we’re all one railroad spike to the forehead away from the same thing…


  • The issue was letting conservatives run the DNC under the label of “neoliberals”…

    Like, there are fundamentally different ways a progressive and conservative think, to the point a brain scan can determine political leaning with an ~80% success rate after like five minutes of showing a human what to look for. Which is insanely impressive when you realize we rarely see 80% turnout in elections.

    The neoliberals marketed themselves to Dem voters like we were conservatives, because that’s what they are and they lack the empathy to realize anyone’s different.

    You can’t run a successful Dem campaign off fear, because if that appealed to Dem voters we’d be voting Republican already.

    That’s why Obama did so well in 2008 off literally just saying “hope” and “change” over and over…

    That’s all it fucking takes, and now that the neoliberals aren’t running the DNC, that’s what will come out of the primary naturally this time.
