      Because a black man was elected president one time and that never sat right with conservative america.
      Also probably Nixon, Reagan, Bush, and Cheney were never held accountable for their blatant corruption and scandal in any meaningful capacity along with all the perpetrators of the 08 financial crisis. This is the legacy of American administrations elected the last several decades that's left the American government institutions toothless and decayed as well has made everyone divided and cynical to the point that enough rubes are convinced fascism is the solution.
      If Reagan could get away with abusing his executive power to fund drug trafficking paramilitaries through the sale of missiles to Iran without approval from Congress any American president can get away with anything.
      The real end times for American democracy started long before trump or even the tea party, when Ford pardoned Nixon.

      Someone else said you can do more than just vote, and I'll take it a step further. Organize your community! Find local cooperative organizations, get in contact with people giving out food, find ways to create or participate in non-corporate community spaces. The stronger our local communities are, the harder it is for authoritarianism to take hold. So get involved, even if it just means getting your produce from farmer's markets and community gardens more than the grocery store. It all helps!

    • @Turkeysocks
      @Turkeysocks Před 2 dny

      @@willbortin3595 This is not exactly true. It can actually be easier for authoritarianism to take hold with a strong knit local community. Just look at 1930's Europe. Most small communities only had a few people who were pro-fascists views among them. It only took those few people to sway entire communities to go along with the fascists at the very least, and in some cases turned the entire community into a fascist stronghold. It's one of the many reasons why Germany was so successful in rounding up the "undesirables" during WWII for their labor/death camps.
      I'm not saying don't try to forge a strong bonds with your neighbors and community. Just be mindful that it only takes one person to poison an entire community.

    The Karen Read trial was WILD to say the least, and it was almost slapstick to watch how badly the investigators fumbled the ball on this, intentionally or not. Even if she really killed her boyfriend (which I don't believe), the way this case was investigated should've gotten this case thrown out. Highlights include:
    - DNA evidence gathering in Red Solo Cups, being transported in a Stop&Shop bag.
    - the people inside the house where the victim was found were not interviewed at first, and when they were, they were interviewed all together. Which you'd usually prevent, you know, so they don't line up their testimonies with each other. Not here.
    - the crown witness for the prosecution changed her testimony, to now claiming Karen Read said "I hit him" _only after_ conspiracy theories popped up blaming the crown witness and her family for the death.
    - the lead investigator knew that a snowplow driver plowed the road of the crime scene multiple times the night of the murder, but withheld information that he knew that, let alone interview the guy. Plot twist, the defense found him, got him on the stand; his testimony: The body wasn't yet on the lawn by 2 AM in the morning.
    - the Medical Examiner couldn't conclusive determine John O'Keefe's death as a homicide, and admitted that she couldn't confirm that the wounds he received were from being hit with a car. Paraphrasing, "One theory as to what happened is as likely as any other," in her professional opinion.
    - independent forensic experts in accident reconstruction (paid for by the FBI who, surprise, are apparently investigating the actual investigation for misconduct) determined that it is physically impossible to have happened the way the prosecution laid it out.
    - the forensic "expert" of the prosecution holds the academical degree of "Trooper" (meaning, none), and as basis for his accident reconstruction told the jury under oath, "The crime scene talked to me."
    The list goes on. It was a mess.

      -Brian Higgins (key witness and police officer) removed the SIM card from his cellphone, drove to a military base, and trashed the device and SIM card in separate dumpsters amid the investigation. He also got a new phone number the day before he was going to be subpoenaed.
      -Jen McCabe googled “how long to die in the cold” (spelled wrong) at 2:27am the night of the death and deleted the search. The body was found around 5-6am.

I tried to explain how the use of religion in politics has a big effect on fear and dictating minorities, especially as someone who is LGBTQ and Asian. I find religion is only going to cloud judgement and be used for personal advantage, and not everyone is a Christian. Unfortunately her response to that was “we’re Catholics, we have different standards and are more open.” But how can you when you are oppressive about women reproductive rights, autonomy and freedom, especially as their own daughter (by birth anyway).

      He also wasn't "the president", that was Hindenburg until his death in 1934, when Hitler merged the offices of Chancellor and President.

They are just now waking up and realizing the Supreme Court and much of the White House still works on behalf of Trump (his agendas more than him personally, imo), and I think its a bit too late at this point. Just remember, it will be Trump's last term (legally, that will likely change), they legalized payoffs, and said the Pres has legal immunity for official actions.

    I watched the Karen Read trial and the only thing I can say is that I am stunned it ever got to trial. Where I'm from it would never have been allowed through given how bad the evidence is and how bad it was HANDLED.
    Setting aside how utterly offensive every Trooper was on the stand, their lack of intelligence (physics don't exist for pedestrians apparently), and the fact that almost every witness was from the same family circle who had clearly closed ranks etc...
    The fact Lally wants to even retry it is pathetic, he's now bordering on malicious prosecution already and this will definitely push it over the line. The FBI have already handed two of their experts to the defence who both said "A car didn't hit him", the entire MA case is under investigation is being reviewed BY the FBI and he's over there like "Nah I wanna get this innocent woman jailed because...pride".
    The American justice system scares me a little, it's just a malicious system and has absolutely no protections in place. There's no mechanism to protect someone from this miscarriage of justice and "A jury will clearly see it" has already been proven false because they came out as a hung jury. The very basic evidence was severely tampered with and collected incorrectly so it could be contaminated, THAT on its own should have been enough to throw this out rather than relying on whether lay-men are capable of putting any biases aside.

    Also, for the Olympics story, Charles de Gaulle Airport is one of the worst I've been to, and many Europeans know it. You spend roughly 20-40 min on the tarmac after landing and usually have to be bused to the terminal since they have more flights than gates. Also, there tend to be a lot of air traffic control strikes in the summer around France that affect flights and cause heavy delays.

    As someone who used to work in the corporate call center for Red Roof Inn, this is unsurprising. The problem is that nearly every RRI is franchised, and there is quite literally no quality control (at least when I used to work for them years ago) on the franchised locations. Whenever corporate shut one down, office staff would even joke, "imagine being so bad you get dropped by Red Roof". They are clearly aware of the problem, as I had numerous calls from front desk staff asking me how to bill for a "3 hour stay" and multiple mentioning having rooms dedicated for short term stays like that.
    This isn't including the locations that outright fraudulently charge customers cards for false charges. Red Roof Inn made me hyper vigilant in any motel now, including obsessing over the door being properly locked and checking my card for any fraudulent charges. Corporate knows what's happening, and to say otherwise is an outright lie on their part.

    In hs and college, I worked seasonally at a reputable hotel. I had planned to continue there when I started grad school when the manager who got me the job and had known me for years prior pulled me aside to let me know the owners were selling and while they were looking to keep staff to make a smooth transition, she and many other were leaving and she recommended I do the same as it was being sold to the same person who owned the local Red Roof Inn. It was common knowledge the RRI in question had issues with prostitution and drugs but nothing was done. In less than a year after I left I heard from those that stayed that this became a large issue and they knew the owners were aware as they had brought the issues up and had to call the police many times. This was 20 years ago and I hope this lawsuit brings more focuse on this.

    I worked at a red roof for several months and I witnessed so much shady stuff going on there. I was never totally positive about anything like sex trafficking but we were never given any instructions on signs to look for. In fact most of my training just involved making sure all the rooms got sold every night. All we needed was someone with an ID, didn’t matter if that was the person actually staying in the room or not and a $100 to $200 deposit depending on the night and whether or not we thought the person seemed extra rough. I did hear fights, shouting, and physical abuse but it was the owners who were engaging in it. I had no idea what to do other than to turn up the volume on the tv in the lobby. I was forced to sell rooms that I knew probably had mold in them. Eventually the hotel got shut down for a while because of the rampant mold, exposed wires that were a major fire hazard, and other various safety violations. I had already left at that point because the mold in the office had causing my autoimmune disease to flare up really bad plus I just couldn’t handle the owners anymore. All the shady stuff, terrible pay, and horrible environment just became too much. They have reopened under a different name now but it’s still the same owners and I don’t have much faith in them changing.

      ​@@weinteruptth.1479I appreciate the positive intent behind this comment but but it misses a bit of the point.
      Not to mention that trying to be active in any form of politics as an openly (or closered) queer person can be very difficult.
      Community outreach and charity work sure but anything really political in nature and people get upset when LGBT+ get involved or is the subject (at least where I live) Not to mention, if the above changes go into effect there will be far less workers rights protection in jobs for people of diffrent sexuality or trans gender identity. Which is very concerning as those protections have been in place for a very long time. But even outside of that there is likely to be a rise in Queer Hate if P25 goes into effect in any large way.
      I get you were trying to encourage OP to tune out and focus on what they CAN change around them but unfortunately with elections on the way it's good to stay at least some what tuned in so that you can react and spread the word about policies that you support or oppose. For example they wouldn't know about the threat of P25 to their own rights if they never watched this video. So while local committees are very important and doing Community work is always admirable it's a bit tone deaf to suggest that this isn't something to feel a bit bummed about. At least on the initial watch of the video. I mean no offense to you but I do hope you understand some of what I mean and why I disagree with that stance.
      And if OP reads this, I'm so sorry hun, about everything going on. It's scary out here and there doesn't feel like we can do much, and life is already really busy and difficultas is. But if anyone was on the fence about where to vote and cares about the balance of power, personal rights and freedoms, LGBT rights, or reproductive rights we need to use this as a talking point.
      Share this with people who might be on the fence. Even if it might cause some tensions. If this is something worth fighting for then now is the time to try and win the battles of people's hearts and minds. Let it be the line in the sand that makes you stand your ground. Because I honestly wasn't sure where my vote was going until today. So clearly this information can persuade a great deal of people to change their minds.
