We now have two prosecutions, both resulting in guilty verdicts, one against an ex-president and another against a sitting president’s son. They are both unprecedented and bring with them deeply conflicting feelings. In today's piece for The Big Picture, writer and legal expert Jay Kuo digs into this unsettling duality. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/donald-trump-hunter-biden-prosecution

Why should anyone feel conflicted

This is proof that the USA is a different place, where there are no kings and nobody is above the law, in principle.

Everyone of every stripe should be extremely happy about both of these convictions of crimes that were committed by rich white dudes. It is a piece of evidence that we are all actually equal, if we really want to be.

Trump has told oil execs he would:

-Immediately expand drilling

-Gift the industry $110 billion in tax breaks

-Reverse environmental protections in exchange for $1 billion in campaign contributions

This is a man who's literally willing to sell out the future of our species.

the thing that gets harder and harder to countenance, as I grow older, are the number of stooges who are okay with it

guess blind folks don't get to hear the actual joke, just that there is a joke in the picture that you can't be bothered to share.

(Takei is an ass, but I've got your back. The poster says

"Has your human ever broken a treat in half and passed it off as a whole treat? You may be entitled to compensation."

The Apple TV is coming for the Raspberry Pi’s retro emulation box crown

Apple’s restrictions will still hold it back, but there’s a lot of possibility.

I'm not saying we shouldn't worry about how China might be using TikTok to steal our data and manipulate us...

But why aren't we at least as worried about the U.S. billionaires who own the other apps stealing our data and trying to manipulate us?

Pretty sure everyone here is. You're mistaking us for Twitter.
