      I’m just surprised that they didn’t call the app Minority Report - I mean it’s right there and so accurate

        Probably would have if it was made by Palantir, since they seem to have no problems with particularly on the nose names. Although tbh I’m not sure who made the app after searching for a bit.

      Dangerous? It’s outrageously illegal. Unless we’re just gonna say all documentation is null and void. Which. We’re not.

        The state determines what is legal and illegal. It’s mostly irrelevant in the discussion of the evil that a state does. Apartheid was legal, so was slavery, so was the Holocaust

        The administration has shown they have less than zero respect for any sort of laws or precedents set by the past, and at this point whether something is illegal just blends into the background, as you could say they do illegal things every day. Dangerous is a more fitting term to provide a sense of urgency

      everyone is in denial that everything will “return to normal” when trump dies, and hoping that happens within this 2nd term. mind you “normal” in that sense is unsustainable ratfucking of any and all public funds to the detriment of everything else

      …when he dies and nothing else changes…

      that’s when shit goes from bad to worse real fucking quick
