The bottom line is that they want to incarcerate as many people as possible.

What does a corporation do when they are already paying their people as little as possible, and replace as many as they can with AI? Imagine if slavery were legal, and they could force people to work for literally free?

The only legal form of slavery is prison labor, ensconced in the Constitution, so as long as people are in prison, the administration can rent them out to wealthy corporations. The corporations get cheap/free labor, and the government gets to maintain control.

In addition, that’s how they will treat people who require any public assistance, like Medicaid or Food Stamps. You will be forced to live in a camp, and work for whoever they tell you to work for. In return, you will get a bed, basic food, and minimal medical care.

Same with homeless people. Put them in a camp, force them to work, and declare the homeless problem solved.

No, they’re calling Alligator Alcatraz, because they think Alcatraz was a decent place. HitlerPig has even floated the idea of re-opening it.

Alligator Auschwitz is too close to reality, and they are still in the denial stage that they are following the Nazi playbook.

We’re talking about going to California, or perhaps another country, if anyone would take us.

If elections end, and HitlerPig becomes dictator for life, then the entire west coast will probably break off, and sign an alliance with Canada and Mexico, surrounding 2/3 of America with hostile territory.

And ALL those problems continue because there are wealthy entities willing to donate ANY amount of money to influence as many campaigns as possible. Right now, they see their re-elections as dependent on getting as much money as possible, so all their efforts are directed at the most wealthy.

But take money out of politics, and suddenly the ONLY election currency is every citizen’s single vote. Instead of appeasing a few very wealthy donors with important legislation that benefits only them at the expense of everyone else, they will be forced to support wide-reaching legislation that helps millions of citizens, in hopes of attracting their votes. Take money out of campaigns, and a wealthy person has equal political power as any other citizen - one vote. This is what the Founding Fathers were really talking about when they declared that all men were created equal.

The website offers an explanation as to why there is no Android version. Basically it’s because Android would require them to maintain a database of Android users, which is a security issue if it gets confiscated by the government. They call those privacy concerns “non-negotiable,” and suggest Android users but a cheap old iPhone model to use the app.

It IS a drug - Dopamine - and they are addicted to it. The Conservative Propaganda Machine knows it, and feeds it, giving them constant hits of Dopamine all day.

Even if we can finally purge MAGA from our government, and even have it declared a terrorist/hate organization, how do we deal with millions of brainwashed idiots? They aren’t going to change their minds easily, and accept that they were conned.

They were conned once, they can be easily conned again.

It’s worked for ABC and CBS, why not CNN? Just threaten to pull their broadcast licenses, and accept a settlement bribe.

I suspect CNN won’t be the last.

It’s a core characteristic they’ve learned from HitlerPig, who learned it from his mentor Roy Cohn, who always said that you never admit that you were wrong or were defeated. Always declare victory, and NEVER, EVER apologize.

HitlerPig lives by that, and his followers have adopted it as well.

“Ah, yes, everything is working according to my plan.”

At this point, it’s not about paying LESS taxes, they can’t pay less than zero. Now it’s about getting tax rebates/ refunds from the government.

Of course, that’s how politics works. All this bluster about opposing the bill was always theater as usual. There’s always a bunch of holdouts, and they allow just enough to fight back in an empty gesture for their constituents, so that it still passes by one vote.

I knew that all that opposition in the House would melt away as each was given their favorite pork amendment in the bill.

Just like those dog & pony shows called Congressional Hearings, where they bring in a bunch of CEOs from whatever industry they are targeting that day, grill them for a day or two, then do absolutely NOTHING about it. EVER.

I’ve been watching it happen over and over for decades. I’m so bored with it.

The key is Campaign Finance Reform, which is the issue from which ALL other issues arise.

We need to get money out of politics.

And Fettermans and Sinemas.

Ultimately, it would draw more disgruntled Republicans who don’t like the MAGA takeover of their party, than Democrats.

I hope he’s the guy who gets the crap kicked out of him.

Our country is under MAGA Nazis rule, and that is nothing to celebrate. Independence Day should be a Day of Resistance, until the MAGA Nazis lose their control.
