nostr:npub1xr8xl05ge6evkjps2z0frkq4wnjxexzwzy0rad96xcwrem4tkdgqzlk0ae I was with my kids. I told them that's why they needed to practice critical analysis and problem solving.

Because they’re always the smartest in the room and anyone that disagrees with that will face their wrath. No one wants to deal with their bs other than their toadies. That’s why.
nostr:npub1xhxkxssrr28s9alqq30hms9ukrd42xqxhcvrkd4g7qay5t90gmlsacektx I don't know if they're the smartest in the room. But, they do control the room. My question was more about wtf we let them get there.
It was both frightening and empowering when I found out adults were just winging it.

I'm guessing a disproportionate number of psychopaths are drawn to politics.
Wanting to be a senator, representative, or president should probably be grounds for disqualification from pursuit of public office.

I agree. I think we have a better chance of removing him than we have of expanding the court. That's not to say that we shouldn't try to expand the court, just that I don't think it's likely to happen.
nostr:npub1w8xrflgezwythfsnvynj37gzg7hxw8jyazmru2t0hm35w7vtm7tszvd56f The only way we can get what we need done is to have 60 Senate Dems and the House. nostr:npub1wa925hy86xhjjhvewz6v859yhlza7gydmaze4t99sq7tqsyfv6tsky2l0f
Why do we let psychopaths run things? Why?😒

Sadly, America is all about individual rights, freedom, and not having to do anything you don't want to do. The idea of civic responsibility is an alien thought in the US. The concept of duty is only something one runs into if one chances to join the military for some reason. We a country of selfish people concerned about their personal rights, not about obligations and responsibilities. We're a fun loving people and nothing is more important than fun.

These EMPLOYEES in the government are CITIZENS JUST LIKE YOU.
All that fucking money and they can't think of anything good to do with it, only evil, fucked up shit that kills people and the planet.
nostr:npub1alvljyvx07mfhsr7gurkz38t3e5ulltkexjejgsj469dl4a73awqscr0dl People need to be put in their place around here. It's fucking crazy.
SCOTUS justice is a fucking job. It's NOT A TITLE.
nostr:npub189nhq0cw33243htm08c53vjvgc5letv7d9sgqtgqsn6fnx6dv8zs0fsatx Absolutely. I pay for this crap in my taxes, meaning I'm the employer and the employees are misbehaving.
Yes, even the billionaires are my employees, because they take government handouts left and right.
Time for the thieving employees to get fired and put in prison.
nostr:npub1kchrnnnf22v423wd5qkzqyxvaumrygwa8u856qfnq0v4p823338qk923tm Yep. I've had enough of this shit. These employees are totally fucking out of control and they need to be fired and punished.
I want a government filled with EMPLOYEES that understand the various issues that different types of Americans face. I DO NOT WANT a Congress filled with millionaires who are NOT SUBJECT to what we go through.
We are NOT SUBJECTS. We are CITIZENS.
The super rich are extremely greedy and drunk with power. We have to abolish billionaires. We can't be subject to the whims of random assholes.

and they gave human rights to corporations in Citizens United - which is like giving rights to a robot.
nostr:npub1qkq2mah7mwsfuf3lth6mq5r249ue6m0l73aa44znn7ld3tvm9knqhqgfr9 Yep, they did. When that happened, I said out loud, "well, democracy died today" and everyone thought I was being hyperbolic.
