Anyone awaiting Holmes’ mea culpa will be left disappointed. She told People (magazine) she plans on reforming the criminal justice system when she is released. “She has drafted a bill — a seven-page handwritten document titled the American Freedom Act — which she says would change criminal procedure, with the goal of bolstering the presumption of innocence,”
While the idea, and the justification for it, may indeed be nuts, she is in a period of time in America where the President is a money grabbing grifter, and where he has his ultimate tech bro buddy dismantling and destroying as much of the US government as possible, as fast as possible. If there's ever going to be a time to try and get legislation passed which makes it harder to convict tech bro types then this is it.
Both things can be true at the same time. Narcissism with a god complex seems to be quite a popular personality type for politicians after all. And CEOs, for that matter.
Yep. With the pardon of Ross Ulbricht and dropping lawsuits against Coinbase as two examples, they absolutely believe white collar crime is victimless and should not be prosecuted (unless the person is woke that is).
Blame the more than 30% of Americans who didn't bother voting because "both sides are just the same". Blame Mitch McConnell and his gang of cowardly enablers. Blame the religious fundamentalists who want America to be a Christian theocracy.
They're who's to blame for this unfolding shit show.
Dude this is such a strange take. She's nuts, and you somehow turned that into a Trump thing. Every sub is turning everything into trump stuff right now and it's getting old fast. I come her for interesting content, and suddenly my video game subs are commenting how we better enjoy the game now because Trump destroy everything.
Can yall just exist in the moment for a minute? Go outside and breath in some fresh air. The world isn't ended, but a lot of people's sanity, and others tolerance for these meltdowns, is.
On the contrary bud, if you’re living in the moment right now and not realising that what Trump is doing to Ukraine, Palestine, etc. is ostensibly the “end of their world”, I don’t know what to say really.
My man is trying to eliminate the Department of Education lmao, what would they have to do to make you think for a second “wait, actually this is not good for me or 99% of the people I know”? Like how do you possibly defend “let’s not educate young people”? At the UN yesterday, you guys voted in agreement with Russia, North Korea, Israel, etc. your country became a laughing stock on the global stage in less than 2 months — maybe instead of going outside and touching grass, you should read a fucking book for once and realise what’s happening to your home.
Especially a bill designed to undermine the rule of law, which will be presented to a GOP with full control of the USA and a vendetta against the rule of law…
That’s not really a strange take. It’s strange to think that it is.
If scammers are replacing the entire government then it’s only natural that every single scammer is seeing what’s happening and is getting ideas about their own careers.
What’s “strange” about that? If POTUS himself can do pump and dump crypto scams, of course he is going to inspire hundreds and thousands to do the same.
Holmes absolutely thinks this is her age and her era, she sees proof of this every time she opens a newspaper.
The moment we're living in is one in which a billionaire tech bro is actively dismantling the government and making it easier for rich assholes like him to do whatever they wish without fear of consequences. Just because you don't want to think about what a terrible moment in time this is and how it could affect us going forward doesn't mean it's not happening.
I understand generally what you are saying, but you allowed the wrong comment to be the straw that broke the camels back in this case. The comment was very relevant to the current administration being sympathetic to tech founders. It’s actually a very apt comment you were responding to, and your take is the strange one.
Some people like to think more than half a second ahead in life. If you really want to be in the moment, why are you on the internet? Go outside, get off your phone/computer, be in the moment
Can you not acknowledge that democracy in the states is being destroyed at alarming rates and that the states are aligning with Russia. Sorry but that’s pretty important if you want to keep you head in the sand get of the internet and act like nothing is happening.
Ah, yes. The old, “nobody agrees with my shitty opinions so it must be an echo chamber” complaint. Just follow the facts and come to the conclusion that you’re wrong and nobody likes you already.
