Good Show.
Figure out how to make Campaign Finance Reform sexy, and save the nation from the criminal scumbags that are now stealing our nation.
If you have two brain cells to rub together you can figure out that the funding of politics is nothing but a system of corruption that was put in place to steal as much as possible for as long as possible.
A populist movement cannot win as long as the worst among us: the Mercers, Kochs, and Goldman Sachs minions, control everything through a system of corruption that they themselves have devised.
Sure it seems like there are a thousand issues: Trump giving away national assets like Putin did to a bunch of rich unevolved assholes who are proud of their predation upon the populace, and there endless red herrings that get all the single issue voters at one anothers' throats: climate change, fundamentalist morons who think that the world is six thousand years old and will end tomorrow, wars in support of private business interests, wholesale surveillance of the citizens, a ridiculous number of psychopaths with badges who believe they are licensed to kill, etc. etc. etc.
But I am telling you that Robert Mercer understands that the lynch pin of control is campaign finance, that’s why he funds Citizens United, and Britbart, and put Trump in office by giving him key words found by Cambridge Anaylitica to repeat over and over, in near meaningless lies, that the mindless fools that watch and believe Fox New and similar founts of lies were responding to on a limbic level.
He knows that campaign finance is the key to power – do you?
Until this is done, the present plutocratic kleptocracy will swiftly recover from any temporary setbacks.
Sorry if it boars you. It’s not up to your opinion, this is the game theory, this is the facts.
Robert Mercer is using the power of AI against the population and government of the USA to make your voice and vote more meaningless than it already is.
Campaign finance reform must be done, not because it is somebodies interest or pet interest, but because it is the only thing that CAN be done to stop this avalanche of shit the one percent is burying us under.
Goldman Sachs gave the American public a choice in the last election and that choice was, “Would you rather live in shit or piss.” And thanks to 80,000 rust belt fools who were conned by a New York City conman, America chose shit.
And until campaign finance is address and totally deprivatized you will only have a choice between shit and piss in all the coming elections. Unless a real populist like Bernie is nominated (don’t hold your breath) as he should have been, and reforms this madness.
The shit we are in now is because of the neoliberal idiots who supported and cheated for Hillary and voted for her in the primary even though all the polls showed Bernie as way more likely to beat Trump than her. Trump knew it, he even said it, Cambridge Anaylitica probably told him, and still the Hillary supporters deny it. As Gurdjieff wrote, “Even God has no defense against stupidity.”
Blessings to those of evolving conscience.

@sarahprosecco So true. Always need to wrap the base instincts of humans , in flags, or god's will, or patriotism, or justice, or some such rot to cover up the real rot: the fact that humans in denial of the true sense of their own capacity for brutality and ego enhancing aggression can rationalize anything in order to forever avoid the real intra-personal and cosmic reality of their heinous acts.
Delusional killer apes with language, and brains molded by survival hormones distorted by the delusion that concepts have the same reality as things that don't disappear when no one is thinking or talking about them.
Ever in denial of the fact that their beliefs and conceptual constructs are nothing but superficial devices to cover up the reality that aside from these instinctive hormonally driven distortions of the impulse for genetic expansion of life:
inwardly they actually consist of nothing and must ever avoid this point blank realization.
Unless they are fortunate enough to see that their mind and automatic mental functioning are totally mechanical and their immediate nonconceptual, consciousness awareness transcends all they presently believe to be themselves and hold dear.
I have some hope for a generalized projection of oxytocin from females, and not much else outside of those few persons devoted to the evolution of their own consciousness within their lifetimes. The pursuit of which necessarily entails the abandonment of all forms of hostility, and even all forms of criticism such as I evidenced in the above tirade.
Outside of references to actual physical events and problems, their is no truth in words let alone habitual mechanical thoughts, including these.

I hear a lot of talk here. Talk is cheap, and when it comes to the types of power-elites you are addressing, no matter how petty their power actually is, as in the case of most police, money and only money talks. Though people are told they are "born equal", there is no segment of our society were there is actual equality. Obviously no two people are equal in their physical, emotional, and mental aspects. Even twins are not equal in many regards. But the one area where we could be equal because of our own will to make it so, is equality before the law. As you all know, equality before the law, is a joke in America. If you are police you are more than equal before the law. If you are wealthy you have access to equality and more so in a justice system that is distinct in function from that seen by an average person caught up in the life ruining process. If you are someone like Trump, you thrive because this inequality can be turned against anyone you want. Then you can brag about how you could get away with murder in public and have your idiot supporters cheer when you say it.

@feynmanschwingere_mc2270 I see you have a sense of humor, but ultimately no sense of sense.
FYI: America's most intense growth rate had more to do with the fact that almost all other means of production had been demolished in WW2 than the tax rate. So the USA was producing about half of all manufactured goods worldwide. Although I personally would like to see a return to the tax rates of the Eisenhower era, the current legalized corruption of campaign finance laws will never allow anything but more of the present dynamic and perhaps an even more weighted version of it.
The American middle class was mostly the result of the GI bill post WW2.
Communism and Fascism are about mutually evil in effect if not theory, though communism clearly has the lead in murders of its own citizens.
Climate change is a fact, whether or not it is ultimately a positive or negative has yet to be known: we are overdue for another ice age. Which would render all our considerations moot forever.
Well my fore-bearers fought for the north and were part of the underground railroad in PA, and fought in the Revolutionary war, but in America, that actually counts for nothing, and any immigrate is as American as I am.
You do know that by far most of the slaves brought to America went to Brazil and Cuba, and that only five percent of southerners actually had any slaves. You do know that though it is rarely brought up by left wing puddin' heads, there were more African slaves exported into the middle east than the Americas, and that almost everyone alive is the descendant of slaves, as opposed to King Arthur and Cleopatra.
I am still waiting for my reparations from the Catholic Church for enslaving some of my ancestors during Rome. Of course there is a big difference between being worked to death in a Roman lead mine and being worked in a cotton field. For two centuries Islamic pirates raided every coastal town in Europe for slaves, maybe the Saudis should pay reparations for the millions of people worked to death in the name of Islam, because white slaves were so cheap in the north African slave markets that it often did not make economic sense to even feed them enough to survive.
IQ is associated with race: Asians and Jews are the most intelligent, although the concept of race is a total illusion. There are about seven main human genetic variants and five of them appear only in Africa. Races of man are most like breeds of dog, not actual subspecies, just various characteristics brought about by variying rates of inbreeding or line-breeding because of geography and social factors. But along these lines, I bet that you would deny the different levels of testosterone in various "racial" groups and its effect on a propensity to violent behavior. As a survivor of a murderous attack by a black mob against anyone who was white in 1968, and further attacked at a black power rally in 69' which I attended with a black friend in support, I have no illusions about the capacity of all groups to revert to mindless violence, Nazis or not.
OH yeah, I am neither a believer nor an atheist nor a Agnostic, I think the question of is there a god is wrong.
About your final comment: you flatter yourself, how pedestrian. You gun is a pop gun son.
