I can’t believe people actually think someone should be given power over others because more people punch a hole next to their name. Stupid af.

Just a reminder: the Trumpster is still playing 4d interdimensional backgammon and we're all pieces in his master plan.

This is actually something I've been thinking on very heavily recently.

It is and it's garbage. I mean it all starts with parents and teachers instilling subservience in you, but bosses justify it in the real world when you're an adult who should have absolute freedom to decide your fate and be whoever you want to be.

Every time you hold your tongue when you think you have something to say that a boss might take umbrage with, or even just do what a boss says because they have power over your ability to feed yourself, it degrades you and reinforces the notion that there are people superior to you who you are obligated to treat differently to anybody who doesn't have power over you.

It retards your ability to think freely or believe yourself to be equal to all other humans. It's what conditions people to treat aristocrats and politicians as authority figures to follow. It's what conditions people to simply go along with the flow of society even if that society is murdering six million Jews. It maneuvers your thinking processes to be whatever society decides you should be thinking.

Fair enough. Nothing is all bad.

^ Aren't you making the same mistake as the MSM and attaching too much significance to the EWarren non-story?

The legitimacy of FEMA:-



The legitimacy of the Immigration Authorities:-



The legitimacy of the EPA:-



I'm sure you can see how a picture can be built up without blaming Warren for publishing her DNA results when challenged to do so by Trump.

It's all the same ****ing thing. It all distracts from intelligence and encourages us to side with this or that side and ignore any kind of bigger picture so that we can feel that we're winning something even though we're losing the battle for the human race.

My significance is more of a watermark of how our government is deteriorating. The general reporting seems to be painting it as another way to make the very easy claim that the T-man is a moron.

Not a great reason to push that boat along further.

Trump brought us there, but she made the jump into that abyss. That's stooping to his level. This move might get her a lot of high fives at the gym, but like steroids, that can be very unhealthy and artificial.

^ This guy and his watermarks...sheesh

I do genuinely think that part of Trump is a masterclass troll. By her biting his bait she's come out more of a fool than he.
