Fahrenheit 451 on HBO

Not as good as it could have been surely but still a must watch if nothing else but to understand what is happening now with the fascist regime in DC and the Koch bros and others, putin, who are in a joint effort doing this to us.

I liked the lead actors, Michael's Jordan and Shannon, but the movie wasnt great, but the message is.

BTW if you havent seen BLACK PANTHER oh my god

Which campaign was it when offered help from foreign govt immediately

called the FBI?

Fucking republicans no longer care about the country many men and women died to protect.

What a shame, what a bunch of fucking snowflakes.

Yes, it is true, America is all but gone and maybe the entire human race will be soon, BUT

sure beats having a president who owned a private server and who dedicated her life to helping those in need and in fact did help MILLIONS thru her foundation.

What was SHE thinking, wanting to be president when instead we could say shit like

"emails"

"private server"

"just cant trust her, something tells me she cant be trusted"

or my favorite, in a very loud voice so EVERYONE within blocks or all over the internet could hear:

"I will vote for her but I will HOLD MY NOSE because she is just barely better than the alternative"


And this happened even AFTER the primary, in fact ESPECIALLY the last thing happened AFTER the primary.

By then it was clear what the ACTUAL alternative was, a fucking NAZI yet we had to listen to this SHIT

So this has NOTHING to do with the primary, does it!

Divide and Conquer. Textbook example, cop pension.

Know who these people are and what they are talking about?








To get non government employees to be angry about the wages and pensions of government employees. They call it divide and conquer, and in this video or the longer version SCOTT WALKER himself says that is what they are going to do.

That woman has THREE BILLION in her bank account, not exaggerating , and what keeps her awake at night is a school teacher getting a pension that she doesnt want the school teacher to get.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

So please stop with the anti pension talk, OK!

Where are you going to get a job if you are 25, just out of college and

Twitter and Google and Toyota arent hiring? Or you are not going to college at all and just out of high school?

There are not going to be enough jobs no matter what trade policy you adopt.

So unless you care more about the feelings of the rich people, many which dont do jack shit, you will insist on a society more like the ones in the Nordic countries.

I dont see a way around it, do you?

Please dont fall for the "He gets how much of a pension?" "That is TOO much!" grumble grumble

The only thing wrong with a police officer getting an $8000 a month pension, even if he did fuck up big time one day which may have contributed to many deaths, is that we dont ALL get a pension like that.

This is simple, either you are OK with pushing DOWN on people i.e. saying his pension is too much or you are good with pushing UP as to people and pensions making it so we ALL get pensions like that.

The choice is simple if you are a liberal or a Democrat, let alone progressive.

p.s. want to see TEXTBOOK divide and conquer? here it is...
