Most of the time when you destroy the system you get a much worse system.

Iran got rid of the Shah and got the current freedom loving regime.

The Russians kicked out the old Communist Party and got a KGB trained billionaire in charge.

Well, I'm in the polar opposite of Bumhole, Australia.

Good luck with your endeavors.

Invest in yourself.

If you like the job you have, see what career training will help you advance.

If you don't like the job, invest in figuring out what career you do want.

'Black Condor'?

So, now those voters have genocide in Gaza and a new one in Ukraine, plus the people who are dying because they can't get medical abortions.

Great job.

I'll see your 1984 and raise you a 1976.

From a 1976 movie, Network.

I'm a native New Yorker. All the best places here are also getting grabbed up by rich folks from overseas.

None of the rich care about things like nations or peoples. There's them and the peons who serve them.

Back in 2016 they did a panel of all the creators of the TV political dramas. West Wing, Veep, Scandal, House of Cards, and all the rest.

All the creators said the same thing; if they'd had a character who said he 'liked soldiers who didn't get captured' the networks and advertisers would have demanded that character be shown to be hated by all Americans.

Protests don't mean anything, and strikes just get played as 'The Left doesn't care if you get to your job.'

Back in the 1970's a guy named Jerry Falwell created the Moral Majority. They had a simple tactic that worked really well. Any time there was a GOP event the MMs would show up with more people. If there had been twenty people in the room the last time the local GOP chose a county clerk, the MMs would be there with fifty.

The primaries are two years away. Find a good candidate for the House and get to work.
