If this clown show of a Trump prosecution propels him to a second term as President of the United States, I blame all these selfish, desperate, and craven media journalists who can’t survive without Trump. They are selling the soul of our nation for their cheap ratings. Shameful.

Big Tech is destroying our privacy rights and selling our data not just for money but also giving it to government agencies to undermine our civil liberties. They spy on us in our homes, in our cars, and in our private spaces. We cannot allow them to do this to us in healthcare.

Both social media and the mainstream news have become extremely unreliable and untrustworthy for getting real, unbiased, and factual information. It’s all propaganda from one side or the other. Nobody is objective and neutral anymore and so people are just tuning everything out.

@AndrewYang Our population is aging and birth rates are declining. That means workforce participation goes way down because there aren’t enough young people to make up for retirees. Rather than address the real issue our government prints money and debt to make the final reckoning far worse.

There are presently a record 95 million working-age Americans, a full 37 percent of adults, who are out of the workforce. In 2000 there were only 70 million.

I don’t know what happened to America, but somehow we’ve gotten to the point that almost all the politicians and journalists have zero credibility from all the lying and manipulations and narrative manufacturing they’ve been doing. It’s really sad and scary to be an American now.

I don’t like how we’ve all become so comfortable with risking total nuclear annihilation. There have been many moments during the Cold War where false alarms almost triggered all out nuclear war. Even without a shooting conflict, we almost obliterated the world. Now we’re at war.

As someone born in the 1980s, I grew up in America when the Soviet Union collapsed and a vastly weakened Russia arose from the ashes. But because the Soviet Union was so powerful, we were all scared of nuclear war and couldn’t imagine going to war with Russia without armageddon.

I wish I could trade stocks as well as the people representing me in Congress.

Our generation lost so many fundamental rights to privacy because we trusted Big Tech companies and social media too much. It’s extremely hard if not impossible to regain our civil liberties and the hard earned rights that generations before us fought so hard and died to achieve.

We are closer to all out nuclear war than ever in the history of humanity. I see so many social media posts and news articles glorifying war and underestimating what mutually assured destruction actually means in reality. This is probably how we humans will go extinct eventually.

Trump and the mainstream media are two peas in a pod. They both need each other for ratings and power at the expense of our country’s dignity and honor. The same bullshit that happened in 2015 is happening again because the media needs Trump back in the spotlight for the clicks.

Our country had moved past Trump. He was an irrelevant Dotard wasting away in Mar-a-Lago. But ambitious political players and the news media couldn’t let him go. This Trump arraignment is a stimulus package for their ratings and it turns Trump into a martyr for his base. So dumb.

When we throw our democracy into the mud, we lose our country but Trump and his parasitic journalists oink to the ratings.

I think it is absolutely hilarious that so many companies claim that their rudimentary products are powered by machine learning and AI just so they can juice up their stock price and fleece their foolish investors. Or actually, maybe it’s a genius marketing technique.

Donald Trump is getting exactly what he wants and he’s going to play the dumb and thirsty journalists like the fools they are as they turn him into a martyr and make him the center of attention.

Donald Trump and the corporate news media are parasites feeding on our country’s emotions of fear and revenge for entertainment value and ratings. This is not healthy for our country in any way, shape, or form. It’s an addiction that is destroying our future and our democracy.

@EasternIowan I stopped believing in the rule of law when I saw how much money our Congresspeople make from their insider trading.

@eugenegu Let’s reclaim rule of law.

I really do feel like the best thing for our country was to move on from Trump and forge a new future. This is going to get very messy, very dirty, and possibly violent too. It is not a good thing for our country to make Trump the center of attention and the center of everything.

Important warning for all remote workers. Be careful using Google Chrome if your company uses Google to host its company email. Big Tech hates the privacy rights of employees and only cares about employers. Your employer can spy on your Chrome activity without your knowledge.

I think I’ve lost faith in the fairness of America’s political institutions, media institutions, and just the way everything seems to have ulterior motives. Journalists, politicians, social media companies, and almost everything we have is manipulated and not trustworthy anymore.
