"It looks like Palantir is helping Trump build a mega-database of Americans' private information"

8. We'll be lucky if that in magas america.

This country is too full of gun worshippers craving to start a major shooting war. But everytime they try, we don't shoot back. At least, for now. I don't know how much longer we can hold out. The one thing that's true across all lines of humans... we all have a "crisis point" where enough is just too much to go on any longer. Generally, no good comes out of the short term when that point is hit. The maga idiots are too stupid to think critically about this.

But I really wonder, how hard is to live with the idea of Mind Your Own Business, and let everyone live as they want to live, as long as they're not hurting you or taking your stuff? The lost art of MYOB. This is where we lost the magats in the early days of Reagan and before. They couldn't stand looking at all the ways they screwed things up, so they had to get up into everybody else's business to prove it was everybody else's fault... and not theirs! I still say this is why the repugs came up with the statement that Conservativism couldn't fail... it could only BE failed. (psst! Don't look at Afghanistan and Iraq. The whole P2025 failed right out of the box over there, and it's going to end fail here, too... just not before too many innocents are hurt or die.)
