Exactly. That’s the issue I keep trying to tell others about social media. It is insanely easy to run bot accounts with a very minimal amount of something like Python programming. And even if that’s not your cup of tea, you can just literally have a half dozen people very easily log in and out of six fold the number of actual humans accounts.

Like for six people, running 60 to 80 fake account manually is a piece of cake and if they’re really good and focused on task, that can easily be 150 to 200 accounts manually ran. Like running a bot army is incredibly easy for anyone.

This is why you have to take a lot of social media with a massive grain of salt. A lot of people are out there playing the algorithm, way more than I think people give credit for.

but to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun

Wow, well that’s a take. It’s literally some shit you’d hear from Team America: World Police.

They were arrested in El Salvador, likely the charge is “Fuck that person in particular”. El Salvador has long since left any semblance of law and order, that’s why Trump has become so cozy with them.

I will be absolutely shocked if the person is still alive a year from now. And this also highlights why everyone knew that trying to mount legal defense from El Salvadorian jurisdiction was never going to happen. The country has demonstrated zero compunction with incarcerating people the government doesn’t like and indicating that legal rationale isn’t needed to justify their actions.

Mr. On again, Off again.

Total reset for good or just till the Chinese stop saying nice things.

Roughly 2.9 million people who have student loans are age 62 or older. I’m very curious as to how many in that demographic are within this defaulted status. Mostly because any change in social security benefits for a retiree is life altering and if any significant portion of that group that’s defaulted is also this 62 or older group, the changes this will have a massive impact on the population. Retirees that get caught into money troubles not only brings them down, but usually the family that ultimately has to catch them from completely falling through the cracks.

So completely unqualified people, gotcha.

Well the bars kind of need to have a particular bit of strength to prevent prisoners from taking over the place.

The prison camp isn’t where they want to hold them. It’s the Guantanamo Bay’s Migrant Operations Center where they want to hold them. It suffers the same issues at Alcatraz, so either way they want to slice the bread here, they have to go through a set of hoops to get it to any kind of position to hold long term prisoners.

Things that won’t happen.

The salt from the ocean has corroded the bars, a good kick likely would open the windows. To secure the place would take years of rework or just outright tear down and rebuild.

The place hasn’t had proper upkeep since the late 1960s and honestly very likely before then too. It wouldn’t serve to secure anyone that various places out in the Midwestern desert regions wouldn’t do multiple times better.

Wants to stop mRNA. Which interestingly is being tested to cure AIDS, types of cancers, and other diseases.

All those wacks who thought that big pharma didn’t want to develop cures for these diseases, and the reality is it’s one of the wacks that didn’t want these cures.

How ironic.

The first wave of COVID deaths were clearly not enough.

Trump hates transparency. Hey Jeffrey, how’s that’s “donation” working for you?

Right? The group he’s threatening is likely to have plenty who can pass with flying colors.

there could be almost 10 million borrowers in default in a few months

That’s not a small amount. That’s fucking with economic outlook levels.

As for their program to “guide” folks to repayment, I mean you might as well tell them that they’re indentured servants at this point. Bully tactics are not going to work in an economy where it does not matter how much or little credit you have.

And I highly doubt this administration has any kinds of plans to gentle get folks back to repayment. I fully expect, “pay your loans or we will make you a slave for the rest of your life” to be their go to solution.

There’s a correct manner to handle this, I expect Trump’s administration to fuck it up every step of the way.

I just don’t get how people are looking at Harris’ stance as being pro-genocide. Biden is the President and historically, foreign policy during the tenure of the President by the Vice President doesn’t veer too far off from the President. That said, Harris has absolutely called for investigation into the suffering of civilians in the conflict.

Congress sets the budgetary amount of aid to direct to Israel and the President distributes the money via their diplomatic channels. There are very few options for the President to just suspend funding, which Biden has done twice for weapons under the rules established within 10 USC § 362 (a)(1)

Of the amounts made available to the Department of Defense, none may be used for any training, equipment, or other assistance for a unit of a foreign security force if the Secretary of Defense has credible information that the unit has committed a gross violation of human rights.

But outside that, there’s very little the President can do once Congress approves funding and that funding has been signed into law. This is why an independent channel investigation is required and is exactly what Harris has called for. This would allow the the US Government to establish their own inquiry into the human abuses. This would give the required evidence to cancel funding under Title XII authority. But none of that can happen overnight. It’s not an easy path to override the will of Congress.

On the opposite side, Trump has indicated that he will absolutely turn a blind eye to the whole thing and allow Israel to determine solely the “best” course of action for their current conflict. Trump has literally stated in his rallies:

From the start, Harris has worked to tie Israel’s hand behind its back, demanding an immediate cease-fire, always demanding cease-fire

Trump would not see a cease-fire as a required condition for the on-going conflict.

Harris and Democrats historically have called for a two-state solution. Trump’s plan which has been broadly adopted by the Republican party in general would:

• Give Palestinians only about 15% of their original territory
• Jerusalem would become Israel’s undivided capitol, meaning all claims by the Palestinians to the eastern half of the city would be tossed out.
• Allow Palestinians to “achieve an independent state” via a means that is not clearly defined in the plan but indicated that Israel would have a final say in that process.
• “No Palestinians or Israelis will be uprooted from their homes” indicating that the territory that Israel has already colonized from their current conflict would become Israel’s.
• Would put Israel and Jordan on equal footing for the administration of al-Haram al-Sharif, which will absolutely ignite a conflict.
• Any territory allocated to Palestinians would have to undergo a four year “wait” period, but there’s no protections from Israel obtaining that territory if done so during conflict. So Israel could provoke someone to fight them and that would give them justification to take the land during this “four year wait period”.

Trump has all but given up completely on a two-state solution. Which means, he’s for a one state solution. And people are fooling themselves if they believe that Trump would seek a “peaceful” one state solution. He has told Netanyahu directly, “Just get it done quickly”. Now we can play a game as what manner is used to “get it done quickly” means, but only idiots are the one’s thinking that doesn’t give a tacit nod to ethic cleansing.

I just have no idea what these people who think Harris is a bad idea for Palestinians are actually thinking. And really, I don’t think they are thinking at all. You have one solution that is long, stupid, and required because we are a nation of laws. And you have the other solution that is “fuck it, firebomb them all and call it done”. It is difficult to imagine that there are truly people this blind and ignorant to this reality. But yet, here we are.

The notion that we might get a 3rd party into office like twenty years from now if we start today, helps nobody if the people we’re trying to help are all eradicated over the next four years. Going down this “third road” only ensures an outcome where we are fifteen years too late to help.
