Do you think that I hate him, because "he could not be bought"?

The political party that I vote for is 100% transparent, for every cent coming in and going out. The party is fully grass roots organized. Most of the people contributing to it do it as volunteer. When people have a job that directly conflicts with their voting, they voluntarily abstain their vote. Politicians who get a salary from the government, donate most of their salary to the party, keeping only a median wage, to understand the life of the people they represent.

How different is that from your politicians? Trump started a crypto coin, and many other schemes, so wealthy people could 'donate' to him personally, without it being transparant.

However, Trump has been incredibly corrupt, even before he went into politics.
Why don't you look into what he did in the Republic of the Congo, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan? I just last heard about Kazakhstan. He 'alledgedly' helped a very corrupt family, Tokayev, now their authoritarian 'leader', steal millions from the BTA Bank (one of Kazakhstan’s largest banks), by legitimizing their building project scam.

Every legitimate business person that ever dealt with Trump says:
“He doesn’t pay his bills / he stiffs contractors.”
“Litigation is part of the business model.”
“You only work with him once.”
Is that the type of business person that YOU like?

I don't think that you can find a Trump project that is not riddled with corruption, money laundering, stealing from subcontractors, scamming customers, helping authoritarian regimes steal from their people, scamming taxes, and fucking over employees. That was before he had any power, but now that he has a lot of power, he is using all his businesses for making money, serving all interests that do not serve YOU.

It's possible that there is some bias involved.
I will do my best to be a neutral observer.

Is there a possibility that you stop making attack moves?
See what happens if you just let her be?

You know, Christmas spirit, or something.

I've looked in this topic called "Black lives matter or do All lives matter...༼☯﹏☯༽", which very often brings out racist ideas from people. I didn't find any of her comments racist. Maybe you're of the idea that racism only consist out of slurs, but it's the support of systemic racism that hurts non-white people the most. The most evil racism going on today in the US, is supporting the system where every non-white person is at risk of harassment or immediate violence from ICE. I have not seen CAT support that.

You lot are providing copies of personal communication. I have never seen her being racist or homophobic. She is a liberal, in no way a communist.
You're talking to a socialist, who knows the difference. If she was a communist, that is not illegal in the US (yet).
I see lots of racist and homophobic comments in these forums, all coming from the right-wingers. I have never seen either of you care about it.

What are you talking about? I used cheap as dirt home brand LED light-bulbs from DIY store for 10 years. They had nice warm-white light, but after 10 years they were not as bright anymore. I have replaced them Philips Master 2700K 2.3W, that produce 485 lumen, at $4.37 a piece. They are a bit more expensive, but have almost the double efficiency. Their light is just as nice as the former incandescent light-bulbs.

In my kitchen, I need a light of about 2000 lumen. The brightest E27 LEDs are about 1500 lumen. So, I removed the E27 fitting and put in an aluminium cooling block for commercial LED grow cob chips, that greenhouses use. They are between $1.00 and $1.50, and I buy them at least 4 at the time, all different brands. I had one blow up immoderately, 1 burn out within 6 months, but I have had several now work great for 1 to 4 years. It just requires a little bit more work, because you have to weld on wires. I do that for all 4 of them, when they are delivered. It takes me about 10 minuten to exchange them, because they are screwed onto the cooling block, and sometimes the screw holes don't line up perfectly, and then I have to file out the holes a bit. In any case, that gives us about 2000 lumen for 20 Watt of power. That's about a $65 savings in electricity per year, on an average of 5 hr/day of use.

LED lights are now just as good, but a bit more expensive to purchase. They compensate their higher purchase price with a lower electricity bill. If they are lasting shorting than incandescent light-bulbs, your buying crap products.

No, Trump likes right-wing idealogue corporate shills.

After seeing a few videos from Rachel Maddow, I understand why you hate her so much.
She puts out your politicians' dirty laundry like a champ.

Any time there is some bad press, like the current shit-show surrounding the release of the Epstein files, Trump does or says something hateful to please his base, to distract them.

That's a big loss, but I hope there are more like him.

It's very funny when it all goes wrong, but aren’t you astounded by how real it manages it to look?
When it doesn't screw up, it's very hard to tell that AI made it.
Soon, we will be living in a time when you cannot trust anything you see.

I'm OK with those guys making better smartphones, or social media apps,
or even ChatGPT, but I don't like the type that is set on making us live in
a surveillance state or creating "the rapture".

I wish you, and everyone else, a Merry Christmas too.

Have you heard any of those techbro's ever explain their visions.
Those people are exactly the type of people you shouldn't trust with that power.
There is no "WE", there is only a "THEM". And them are fucked-up in the head.

I guess you didn't watch any of those movies, where AI couldn't be unplugged.
If it spreads itself all over the world, in every server and data center, we would never
be able to unplug it, because those utilities have completely taken over everything
we need. It might require a global memory wipe, destroying all data we have accumulated, including the system of money itself.

The AI that they want to build DOES have the power to reason.
That's their whole goal. It wouldn't be a "god in the box" without it.

I also think that AI would do a better job than humanity, but the people who are in control now would NEVER give up their power. Unfortunately, they are also blinded by power enough, to think they can control their creation. And if that fails, they would do anything to regain their power, no matter who they hurt in the process.

Are you seriously saying that you would like to be controlled by an AI god?
Have you seen the movie I, Robot (2004), with Will Smith?
Did you see Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (2023) and its sequel, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)?
Did you learn anything from all the Terminator movies?
Of course, Hollywood movies mostly have good endings. Real life, not so much.

You get spooked when NASA finds an asteroid with 2.3% chance to hit the earth in 7 years, when the data is just in. You were also fearmongering over some clickbait about solar flares. Why are you worried about these things, and not about the tech giants investing trillions into an AI overlord? Why are you not worried about the absolute inescapable disaster of climate change, and politicians completely ignoring it?

I think you have no idea about the ridiculous power consumption of AI.

In my country, they are talking about building an AI-gigafactory for $26.5 billion, which would consume the amount of power comparable with 2.5 million households. One of our biggest wind-farms produces power for 1.5 million households. What a waste of (green) energy. We already have so many problems with the power grid, that new homes are waiting to be connected and some beach clubs have now created their own green energy grid, to be able to exist.

There are now lots of areas in your country, where people pay a much higher electricity price, because, big companies pocket the profits, but outsource a lot of the costs.
When AI data centers move in, utilities must build new infrastructure, and they spread the cost onto the citizens. Data centers often get special electricity deals, and the shortfall is shifted to regular customers.

AI data centers don’t look dirty, but they drive pollution indirectly and locally through the energy, water, and backup systems they require. Fossil-fuel power plants get built or run harder. Diesel backup generators pollute neighborhoods directly.

Many Americans also suffer from the noise. Building codes might restrict a grocery store in a neighborhood, but very noisy data centers are built way too damn near to people's houses.

Trump tried to get a proposal through, to ban state AI regulation for 10 years, in the federal budget bill earlier in 2025. Imagine how people get fucked over, if states cannot in any way limit where, and how many, AI data centers are built. How about state's rights, that your side claims to care about?

They are working at an AI that replaces jobs like maintaining the machines.

Personally, I don't think that they will succeed in creating a "god in the box",
but their goal is to make as many working people obsolete as possible.
You are not thinking about what happens to all those people.

If they do manage to create a "god in the box", what confidence do you have
that its creators manage to maintain control over it?

Why would it obey the order to shut down the enemy.
Do you think it would agree with you who the enemy is?

I knew about this one, from another video. However, I was planning to buy Apple Cider Vinegar, but I had forgotten again. I have bought a very good quality unrefined cold pressed olive oil though. Thanks for the reminder.

The content of the video is good, but I suspected right away that the girl is AI.
Did you notice the signs? I asked ChatGPT about it, and it confirms my suspicion.
In this case, it was probably not with a reason to deceive, but just to not have to find
or pay for a real presenter.

"the other crap"?

Only copy/pasting "spark plug in a rock" in Google, gives the AI result, before you even have to look further:
"A "spark plug in a rock" refers to the famous Coso Artifact, a supposed 500,000-year-old geode containing what looks like a modern spark plug, sparking theories of time travel or ancient advanced civilizations, but generally accepted as a 1920s spark plug naturally encased in a faster-forming concretion (not a true geode)"
Any time you investigate claims like this, you will find out that they either did no radiometric dating, or they did the incorrect type of radiometric dating resulting in very inaccurate results, and then stupid or dishonest people making an incorrect conclusion.

I have a tip that makes any wanking to porn session a lot better.
It's not for right this second, because it requires you to buy something.

Buy an affordable beamer. I just bought one and had a weekend alone to 'play' with it.
Buy a decent size one, because the micro-beamers are usually not worth their money.

Any porn becomes much more exciting, when you project it to several times the size
of a TV, right in front of you. Even when over-consumption has made you bored with
the most extreme niches, projecting it life-sized makes a decent striptease hot again.


Now I'm collecting those old screensaver striptease clips with a black background, because it only projects the girl. The black areas are not projected, because they block all light. That makes the girls stand out nicely. (Don't watch them too long, because all that blocked light makes the beamer just as hot. I don't know how long it survives that punishment.)

You can of course also use the beamer for vacation photos to show to family.
Just be sure to not confuse the USB-sticks.

"Folks" are not THE FUCKING PRESIDENT!!!

I asked you about which "Democrat or prominent liberal" made horrible comments about Charlie's MURDER, because there are OTHER NORMS for public figures,
than for any random Joe Schmo on the internet. Do you agree?

Pointing out things like point 1 to 4, are NOT horrible comments about a MURDER,
that is pointing out behavior or the morality of the person before the murder or other people after the murder. That is different than celebrating the persons murder or blaming the victim for their murder. You don't have to mourn the loss of a person,
to mourn their murder.

Although, there are norms for that, when it relates to elected representatives,
who are supposed to represent everyone, like THE FUCKING PRESIDENT!!!
It's his job and he's the worst at, of all your presidents, ever.

Yes, people got fired for re-posting one of these 4 points I mentioned.
None of them are violations of free speech. What fucking country allows people
to be fired over exercising their FREE SPEECH?

Are you not thinking "this might be a bit hypocritical", before you say shit like this?

I feel like explaining stealing is wrong, to a toddler.

Diverting millions in donations toward personal expenses. Greedy bitch!
She faces 20 counts of wire fraud and 5 counts of money laundering.
And this happened before: Sir Maejor Page, former head of Black Lives Matter
of Greater Atlanta, was convicted in 2024 of wire fraud and money laundering
for misusing more than $450,000 in donations, and was sentenced to 42 months
in federal prison.
There are also ongoing investigations into financial practices within the broader network, but not all have resulted in criminal charges to date.

They really should get their shit together, and organize treasurers and a national audit committee. This hurts the organization and its cause.

Now, if you care about these things, know that Trump has been involved in cases like this.
Trump and Trump-controlled entities have been involved in 4,000+ lawsuits overall.
Below is a summary of the publicly known cases. He never went to federal prison, because he is wealthy, famous, WHITE, and always had an army of lawyers standing by.

Trump showed his true colors all his life, but you still voted for the guy.

IV. Context Notes (Optional to include in forum)

Trump University is widely regarded as the most clear-cut pre-politics fraud case, ending
in one of the largest consumer-fraud settlements involving a sitting president-elect.

Trump and Trump-controlled entities have been involved in 4,000+ lawsuits overall,
many alleging deceptive or fraudulent conduct (most settled or dismissed).

Multiple civil fraud findings exist even where criminal convictions do not.

Corporate criminal convictions (Trump Organization) exist even when Trump personally was not charged.

Several serious federal cases were paused or dismissed solely due to presidential immunity policy, not exoneration.

Predictable answer.
Green jobs are only insecure, if your politicians decide that taking money from Big Oil
is more important than providing your country with cheap energy and less pollution.

Instead of those general statements based on you prejudices,
why don't you make it concrete?
California is your most successful state, and that is not caused by failures.
They are succeeding because of liberalism, not despite of it.

Approximately 74.35% of felony charges in California result in a conviction.
The National Average is roughly 70%.

In 2024, California reported 1,666 homicides and made 1,305 homicide arrests.
This indicates a clearance rate of roughly 78%, which state analysts describe as significantly better than the national average of 61.4%.

States with the Lowest Murder "Solving" (Clearance) Rates:
- Illinois: Preliminary 2024 data reported a murder clearance rate of 35.5%. While a slight improvement from 33.5% in 2023, it remains one of the lowest in the nation.
- New Mexico: Reports indicate New Mexico has some of the lowest violent crime clearance rates in the country as of 2024/2025. In 2023, the state recorded a homicide rate of 11.5 per 100,000 residents, the highest in the U.S. at that time.
- Georgia and Mississippi: These states were also identified in 2025 analyses as having consistently low violent crime clearance rates relative to other states.

Everything you are saying is 100% based on your indoctrination.

I agree; no free rides, but clinging to what fails, just because nothing else
is perfect, is the surest path to ruin.

Yeah, flawless nukes to vaporize humanity.

Where do you think the fossil fuels come from? From the sky?
Yes, all energy technology requires natural resources, but 'black' energy turns fossil fuels into CO2, water and pollution, while metals and minerals needed to make green energy can be recycled. That is not always easy, but it already
creates much less pollution than 'black' energy ever did.
Of course, if you let green energy be exploited to just profit the wealthy, they will pollute with that too. If it makes them 1 dollar more, they will poison anyone.

"Out of sight, out of mind." OK, not for 'black' energy, because Texans are breathing toxic air, 22 million Americans are advised to not drink their tap water and another 40 million don't trust that their tap water is safe to drink, and are probably correct.

There are ways to route the salmon around hydro-electric power plants, but who are you kidding? If it wasn't for 'environmentalists' like me, your fossil fuel pollution would have killed them all already.

So, you don't worry about radiation, climate change or pollution from fossil fuels, but you did say: "There are far worse manmade things going on right now..."
Like what then? What DO you worry about?
What is it that is causing humanities demise even sooner?

At least we do have a altruistic parts in our nature, while religion is certainly bullshit. It was just a method of control, to make people resist their empathy and reason.

"With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people
can do evil; but for good people to do evil, that takes religion."

Who do you think invented socialism? This was the term for our system
for freedom, after the commoners freed themselves from the Bourgeoisie exploiting them. And yes, the freedom from religion was part of it, because people understood that religion is no more than a tool for submission.
It's not a belief in the "alleged innate altruistic nature of Man", it's a belief
in the right of Autonomy for everyone, while capitalism is a belief in the right to exploit others, which only applies to the favored few.

"Labor is going the way of the dodo" Damn, that's stupid, especially for an American. People are working multiple jobs to stay alive, in your country. Sure, they are working on AI to replace the working class, but they are not thinking of you working less AND staying alive, they are just thinking about not needing their sheeple anymore. What happens to you doesn't concern them. You either starve or go back to farming, or something. They have proposed NO solutions for you. I'm not including me, because your president is isolating you from the rest of the world. It's gonna be completely surrounded by walls, no one coming in or going out, and complete blackout, so you don't know how fucked you are.

Funny, how you are thinking that serving the selfishness of the wealthy
is modern. What do you think people have done for thousands of years? Following the High-priest, Pharaoh, Imperator, Emperor, Tsar, King, President, wealthy donors to your politicians, and soon the Trillionaire Tech-Lords. Every time the smart courageous people bleed to rid us of
our oppressors and every time cucks like you submit themselves to them again. It's so fucking tiresome.

Sure, Marx was a lazy intellectual, being kept alive by his friends. That says nothing about the validity or accuracy of his ideas. I think your perspective on human nature is a bit skewed by the culture that you are living in, which is based on our most primitive part of it; selfishness/greed.

Humanity is capable of much more decency than you are supporting, maybe not because of generosity or empathy, but maybe just for the basic selfish desire for safety, freedom to be, health, love, acceptance, belonging, friendship, comfort, creativity, fulfillment, inspiration, curiosity and rest, that we only get from living in harmony with others.

Human evolution is NOT based on conflict, but on cooperation. We have evolved in tribes, not as solitary predators. That evolution narrative is part of the capitalist propaganda they feed you 24/7.

That focus on money that the feed you is impoverishing you spiritually and mentally. They even twisted the church from the worship of a generous, humble, wise person, into a cult of selfishness and xenophobia, and mostly into a BIG BUSINESS.

If Marxism was not eliminating classes, you should be happy to have it, because your ideology splits the people into the owner class that owns and controls everything and the working class serving them. Of course, you are bullshitting, because Marx's whole idea was to eliminate that, which is the critique in his book "Das Kapital". You gotto come up with better arguments then "Nuh-uh!".

You keep referring to all those dictators who used the terms capitalism and socialism to fool the people. That was their way to steal back their power, after the French revolution showed people that they can live without elites exploiting them. It's the time when people created democracy, but the elites kept fucking with it with lies and violence. The people were stupid to believe the lies and sometimes commit violence in favor of their own exploitation, but they have ALWAYS wanted freedom. You yourself frame your support for exploitation as a message of freedom.

You keep accusing my side of politics of working towards a ruling class, but your own movement is based on exactly that, even concentrated in one leader that should be completely free from criticism. It's all based in the worship of wealthy people like gods, who need to be released from the burdens of taxes, regulations and responsibilities, so they create utopia (on Mars) and accumulate wealth that trickles down upon the peasants. They are advocating for techno-feudalism and you are saying: "Yes, yes, rule over me good lord!". Well, they will, for a while, until their mindless greed destroys the Earth's ability to support life. Then they will try to hide in their bunkers, or on their mega-yachts, or on Mars, or on some fucking space station (like in the movie Elysium), while their stupid rubes can suffer and croak, all in name of the most primitive nature of humanity, instead of the endeavor to evolve beyond it.

How could any sensible, decent, and reasonable person possibly support any of that?

I hope you see a reversal in your lifetime, because at this rate of decline, you will
find yourself in 'Russia' 3 years from now and 'North Korea' 8 years from now.
What do you think happens when they run out of 'immigrants' to deport.
They need some scapegoats for their failures...

Sure, but the sides just have a whole different level of deprecation.
Yours is primitive, vulgar and nonsense, while theirs is accurate and sophisticated.

Clinging to what fails, just because nothing else is perfect, is the surest path to ruin.

1) Some Democrats or liberals pointed out the irony of Charlie Kirk getting shot,
while he said that the first amendment is worth some people being killed.

2) Some Democrats or liberals pointed out that Trump was more concerned
with the construction of his new ballroom, when he was asked about the murder.

3) Some Democrats or liberals pointed out that his widow was not appearing
to be grieving that much, but mostly spending her time grifting off it.

4) Some Democrats or liberals pointed out that Charlie Kirk was not a honest debater,
who needs to be respected for how he engaged with the open marketplace of ideas.

No Democrat or prominent liberal made horrible comments about Charlie's MURDER.
Trump however blamed the victim for getting killed, for hating HIM.
That was not a joke, or a justifiable remark, that was Trump being a sick bastard.

I see no Democrats and liberals declaring war on you over this, like your cult did.

Being a hateful narcissist asshole is not a symptom of dementia.
Trump has been a hateful narcissist asshole all his life.
Otherwise, I completely agree with the statement.

Stop being stupid about what it means to be liberal.
The last thing that it means is being OK with murder.
Being OK with murder, that is only on your political side.
You celebrate it, justify it, or ignore it, except in some very specific cases,
when it involves some cult footsoldier, and when it helps your cult of hate.

8 of the top 10 states with the highest Murder & Manslaughter rates are RED states. California isn't even in that top 10, they are ranked 28th.

It sounded like it was mostly women laughing.
The men were probably thinking "Thanks for the info, dude."
