I can’t wait for the bubble to burst on AI like the dotcom era did Rich people just fundamentally cannot handle being wrong about investments. Their entire personality and self-worth is tied into their wealth, so it’s always more than just losing money to them.

I told Stephen Miller, I said Stephen, it’s time to get the local lesbian art collective in to educate everyone on white privilege. We’re also going to add a consent workshop that’s going to dispel gender constructs. I think I’m going to become a power bottom. That’s right folks. Many are saying it.

“A big guy came up to me, he said Mr President thanks to you I redefined my gender & now use new pronouns. And you know what? I didn’t dead name or misgender them, despite what the lying press says. You know who I love? Antifa. Just saying it is fun. Anti-fa. Many people like saying it in fact.”

I would argue people like myself that are constantly being critical of America are more American than anyone else Because we aren’t settling for the status quo and instead want better for our country and fellow Americans. A rising tide lifts all ships.

I have always loved this conservative attitude that bc you criticize or want to improve the country you live in, it somehow means you’re ungrateful or not American enough As if wanting your country and fellow citizens to have a better quality of life, by pointing out/addressing problems is bad

I agree. This is the way As someone w/ a CJ background, all you need to ask law enforcement is “am I being detained,” & if they say yes, then “I want a lawyer” They can detain you for 24 hrs, basically w/out charge, but you should never, ever be talking to cops w/out a lawyer present. It’ll go bad
