Fair wages, workers rights, and healthcare sound nice.

John Edwards was indicted on six felony charges after his 2008 presidential campaign ate poo poo and went nowhere - illegally using campaign money and covering up his affair.

America spends more money on tanks than they do food-based social programs.

And, just for reference, those tanks roll off an assembly line and are immediately decommissioned and destroyed. They do this because they signed a contract with the manufacturer and haven't needed them in decades and there's nowhere to store them and no realistic use for them.

The Pentagon has begged congress to stop this wasteful process, but politicians are terrified of being the one who "is weakening our defenses by cutting the military budget". So billions of dollars, year after year, are spent building a fully functional tank and then disassembling it and trashing it. Because American voters are so stupid they will think ending this completely useless process the military wants to end will somehow weaken the military.

Picture a Ford Truck assembly line where F-150s are fully built and at the end of an assembly line is a car crusher mashing those trucks into cubes.

That's what America has instead of healthcare, schools, or affordable housing.

America is the stupidest loving place on earth.

I mean…this seems bad, but have you considered that food based social services might be provided to black undeserving people? At least the money for the tanks goes to hard working Americans with middle class values.

the Gunpowder Plot plotters made basically no attempt to cover up what they were doing at all, mostly used their real names when conspiring (or really obvious fake ones; Guy Fawkes was using the alias John Johnson), and, after the plot failed, got most of themselves killed when they fled to the forest to start a guerrilla war and decided to try to dry their damp gunpowder by spreading it in a big circle on the ground around their campfire

also Guy Fawkes fell down and died while walking to the gallows and the executioner had to sheepishly hang his already dead body

Including repeated $1000 to $1250 haircuts by a celebrity stylist who would be flown out on the campaigns dime to administer them.

John Edwards was later seen leaving a Supercuts, which represents a 10,000% percent drop in haircut investment

politics during the early 2000s were as hosed up as politics today

Also this marked the end of senate majority leader Trent Lott's career when he made a speech where he said that if he had won the presidency in 1948 that things would have been better. Thrumond ran a single issue pro-segregation campaign.

If I remember right, part of the Clinton defense was that in the examination, "sex" had been explicitly defined as vaginal intercourse, so he wasn't technically lying.
