We can’t have gun control because that would lead to an oppressive security state, so instead we have an oppressive security state in order to minimize violence. Very normal country.
Attributes tracked by NTAC include history of school discipline, contact with law enforcement, experience being bullied, mental health issues, alcohol and drug use, and the broadly defined psychological trauma “impacted by adverse childhood experiences.”
So being a bully isn’t a red flag for being a violent threat, but being bullied is. Cool.
"No, we definitely flag the bullies too. How else are we supposed to know who to target for police/military recruitment?"
I guess its fitting that being a bully is not a problem for them considering regime acts as one every time globally.
pretty fucked but not surprising from the person who prosecuted parents for their children’s school delinquency.
Never too early to begin conditioning to accept the surveillance state!
I don't want Trump to win but if Biden wins - we are stuck with that old fuck unless he gets incapacitated or dies. And in that case - we get Kamala. We are fucked all the way down.
On the other hand can you imagine Kamala doing the State of the Union? 👀
you imagine Kamala
I think I can.
"America... America... America... America the beautiful is what they call it! Oh, my goodness! I got carried away because I love America so very much! I mean it's what we call it!..."
And starting just seconds after that - she begins to get roasted on social media and the memes and parodies bloom. Normies even discover r/WhatDrugsIsSheOn and it doubles in size overnight. She keeps ad libing and free styling throughout the speech. After her speech as she's walking around doing the smiley-gob plus meet-n-greet that pols do in that situation. She can tell from people's expressions, gestures, and tone of voice that her speech was awful by a measure of biblical proportions.
That morning - although she was 100% responsible for her own problems - she fires five low and mid level people. She lies and spreads rumors about them "undermining" her in various ways and that the speech was just the "final straw of such shameful - truly shameful behavior". She figures they won't defend themselves and they won't speak to the media. And even if they do - they do it anonymously. But that afternoon she gets a shock. Her smack down spectacularly backfires in a Streisand effect fashion. Three of the fired people will appear live together in the studio on CNN that night with their side of the story.
The palace intrigue fire adds to the SOTU shitshow disaster to the point the very next day Kamala totally loses her shit in front of the media. She rants in a drug-fueled rage at them for a full three minutes. One her complains shoots skyward in virality faster than any other. She says "Why is no one loyal to me? I hate disloyal people!" which creates a brand new round of roasting, memes and parodies comparing her to Trump.
