I swear, that is the hotel room I stayed at in CA. Looks like the Huntington Beach Springhill Suites.

That’s the read you take from the comic? I read it as, “here’s this entrenched system that is clearly harmful but was also overcome”. The presentation is essentially a reductio ad absurdum, not a comparison.

Completely agree, which is why I put so much blame on the voters. People continue to be incredibly easy to manipulate, which is what my reply was about. We should have seen a democratic wave, and collapse of republicans. Again, not because the dems were so awesome, but because of the clear, unambiguous horrors of the orange anus.

Don’t get me wrong, the musks and other powers that be deserve all the blame as well, but those such forces are always what we’re up against. Yet people still absorb the message subconsciously and vote on the feels they were manipulated into having.

Dems without a doubt deserve a lot of blame too, but we can deal with incompetence over maliciousness.

*Trump won the popular vote because Kamala was cosigning a genocide

How did that work out you fucking morons (not you, unless you were one of them)? This is not a defense of Harris, but it was plain as day that this orange asshole would be an order of magnitude worse on the issue.

Weaponized incompetence is malice. They are about power, and it’s a huge display of power to put morons who cannot think for themselves in positions of authority. They know that these people are useful idiots, and they know how much it demoralizes the rest of us.

ACAB isn’t just a slogan, it’s a strategy.

Excellent reference.

The reframe has already worked. The number keeps being reported as 1.8 billion dollars when it was specifically 1.776 billion, 1776 being red meat for his base. That number means something to them and covering it up is providing cover for the motivation and intent of the fund.

The 1,776 million number contains more useful info than saying 1.8 billion, so I’m cool with that framing.

Oh my god this is ghoulish.

Right, at this point essentially every decision has been a disastrous mistake, no sign of slowing down..

I paid for it ages ago on a deal, and it currently suits my needs. It runs as a docker container and it just works. It’s easy enough for my elderly mom to use remotely and I’ve ripped my entire movie collection for her to watch. I also like the live tv that’s included with the pass.

I would switch in a heartbeat if it wasn’t doing what I need, but so far I have no complaints, it works well for my family’s needs.
