You’re not wrong but that message needs to come from the leaders of the EU. The fact that it isn’t says as much about your leaders as what you’re saying does about the US.

But will they?

I keep seeing this idea float around that there is some perfect organizational method to government that will prevent corruption. I don’t think that’s possible. All forms of government rely on the people involved acting in good faith. At the end of the day there are only two things that keep any governmental system functioning as intended:

1. the internal moral judgment of government officials (for those that have morals)
2. fear of consequences (for those that have no morals)

Clearly the US is currently dealing with those who have no morals, which means the primary problem is that they do not fear consequences. It is incumbent on the citizens to ensure #2 is in place, in the absence of #1. The US is failing miserably in that respect.

I’m not an expert but I have a decent set up going. If you think it would be helpful shoot me a DM and I’ll find a way to show you what I’ve got set up and give any tips I can. It sounds like I started in a similar position to you and I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned so far.

Edit: anyone else reading this is welcome to do the same.

I’ve watched it twice and didn’t hear him say anything. When was this?

Fake and gay. There’s no sun

I can imagine all sorts of things. I think the rich will find sooner than later that our imaginations are much less peaceful than in times past.

Or maybe we’re all cowards who will happily dig our own mass graves. I suppose time will tell.

You can barely get a motorcycle for $15k

There’s no way to elaborate on this statement without admitting that there’s at least a two-tiered legal system in place, which is the point being made. Biden had the opportunity to prosecute but did not because there is an unwritten rule that we don’t do that to certain people. Saying they didn’t have enough time is just taking the long way to the conclusion that nothing was ever going to happen.

Unless maybe you’re aware of some law or rule that requires investigations and indictments of specific people to take much longer than normal?

Go commit any crime on camera and see if it takes them 4 years to charge you with it.

Thanks, you’re right, the other is a better angle.

Crazy shit happening in this country. God damn masked cowards murdering people in the streets.

That link works but its the same as the 2nd video in the OP above. I was looking for the other perspective which I have not seen yet. It sounds like people are saying this one is a better angle anyway but I wanted to see both.

Either way, thanks for the additional link. I’m sure it will be useful for someone.

They took down the first video

If they do they sure have a funny way of expressing their desire.

Why are you phrasing this as if it hasn’t already come out that he’s a child rapist? It seems to me that we’ve known that for years

It’s not a sane plan at all. It only works because we are not a sane nation and half the government refuses to hold him accountable for anything. The obvious counter to this strategy is to impeach him for being a lunatic with no coherent plans who lies about everything.

I don’t know but it seems like the simple answer is to just not accelerate that fast. I doubt this was an attempt to imply that we should do this regularly. It’s just a test to show what the technology is capable of. There’s no real benefit to accelerating to that speed that quickly vs doing it over 30 seconds or longer.

I am a night owl that stays up past midnight almost every night and I eat dinner at 5:30 on a regular basis.

Does that make a stoner a baked potato?

I’ll see myself out.

Europe doesn’t have the stones to ask Trump politely to stop, much less anything else on that list of fantasies.
