Unreal how naked corruption is now.

Boy should you watch extortion on live TV from yesterday. I have heard that a president was unsuccessfully impeached for exact same thing a few years back.

Unreal how quickly this topic was flagged.

Almost like some people don't want to see the truth about tech-led or tech-supported corruption coming out.

HN is a bunch of wankers now.

The article is deliberately misleading about what's going on as is evident from the newer rolling stone article.

I never thought I’d be on Verizon’s side

Between this and cheering on the pharmaceutical companies against RFK, I feel like a version of myself from an alternate reality.

I will always side against a neo-Nazi sympathizer, regardless.

At this point it feels like a fault in anti competitive laws. Both that a ruling party can award contracts to each other and that important infrastructure can be under control of a single individual, and one extremely volatile too. To me the most likely outcome is Wordpress/WPEngine like dramas, only on a larger scale.

If the Republicans in Congress actually honored their oaths to the Constitution over their cowardly loyalty to party, they would impeach. However, they are complicit in the dismantling of America.

This needed to be stopped on Day 2 of Trump's first term when he shat on the Emoluments Clause. At this point it's clear that we have ceased to have a justice system that reigns in the powerful.

FAA is close to cancel $2.4 Billion Contract with Verizon and replace it with a contract with SpaceX.

Aaaand flagged.

Can one be considered ignorant if this turns out to be objectivly good thing?

Rather than considering that of the person, consider it of the belief.
