The last time someone tried to sell oil in anything other than the US dollar, his country was invaded under false pretenses.

The two indictments about Jan 6th and the plot to use fake electors offer a detailed look at a conspiracy. This isn’t just mob talk about “it would be awesome if this happened” – there is evidence of a coordinated effort to create fake electors and attempt to steal an election. The act of creating fake electors is a crime. The conspiracy to create fake electors is a crime.

All of these things are a crime. The problem is, in America, people who have power are held to a higher standard. Trump will get all sorts of concessions, and slow this down like mad. What he also has is an entire network carrying water for him. Because of Fox News – which was started to avoid another Nixon, he gets to both sides this.

Okay, thank you for setting me straight.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Facts are behind a paywall and bullshit flows for free.

Corporations invented Jaywalking to pass the problem of death by vehicle from the manufacturer to the victim. Corporations invented the concept of Litterbug to shift blame from the makers of trash to the disposers of trash. Corporations invented the concept of the personal carbon footprint to shift the blame from the makers of carbon to the users of carbon.

This is just the same thing. Corporations are good at this.

This is why we need better education in the US.

Also, this is why we can’t have healthcare. We don’t know why we deserve it.

I was talking to a person once about single-payer Canadian healthcare. And she said, but what if someone doesn’t work? Should they still get it?

[I mean, yes.]

I said, how come you don’t ask that question about cops and firefighters? You don’t say, well if someone doesn’t work, should the firefighter’s come to their house if there is a fire? We have single-payer police insurance and single-payer firefighter insurance.

But after the fire, you’re on your own!

America! Fuck, yeah.

You’re in a showerthoughts sub, Fred. A showerthoughts sub.

I think people have forgotten what showerthought means. Not serifs, but sheriffs of bad thinking in the shower.

It’s a shower thought baconator, nothing more serious than that. I think the idea of a shower thought it to pull strings. You know, to avoid pulling something else. :)

Google is trash. I guess people suck for doing SEO like asshats

Twitter is like The Producers in that the owner seems like he’s trying to destroy and also they’ve introduced nazis.
