They already know who is a citizen just like they already know your tax data, and just like your tax return, your voter registration should be automatic and unquestionable.

The American government is breaking every social covenant with the American citizens, and they are insulting our intelligence every step of the way.

No wonder China is eating our lunch.

My parents said they’ve been attending protests…I said that’s great but have you been in contact with your congress critters?…They don’t even know who their rep is…The boomers need a direct education in direct democracy, because they have been de-educated and effectively neutralized on this account.

Well then don’t watch it, jeez. For those of us who are not geopolitical experts, it provides useful context. I think that while Trump is certainly a catalyst to accelerating the decline of the United States and the fever pitch to war, adventurism abroad and financial corruption are the primary driving factors, and this has been a multi-decade and bipartisan effort.

Paris Mayor: I want a city with less cars. Perhaps it's controversial, but I think I'm on the right side of history. I had lobbyists from car companies threaten me in my own office. [2017] in c/europe

Such a warning assumes this is a person with a shred of moral integrity. He’s out here saying the most ridiculously stupid shit I’ve ever heard from an “economic expert”, and I know he’s smart enough to know it.

Why in St Pete’s? Seems like an odd setting for a diplomatic meeting.

The idea is they take turns talking shit about the party they are ostensibly aligned with, I.e Kyle vs Dems, Dave vs Republicans, and then, I don’t know, score it by how bad they “roast ‘em”…Admittedly the idea kind of falls apart from there…Like, who else is really legitimately in that lane on the “right”?
