By my limited understanding that might be feasible right now in utero, which obviously is not exactly what we want.

I think that maybe in the future we could change someone’s sex when they’re older. Honestly I think it’s maybe just the matter of research on this not being focused on genetic changes after the womb.

The time has come… For two sternly worded letters!

They literally hire people just to make up these scenarios to hire more people to make up contingency plans for them. I feel like once a year an article comes out that’s like “the US has a contingency plan in case Sweden falls to communism and arms itself with nuclear weapons” and it’s like: yeah, ok.

Hot take: but this is going to suck. The tariffs were guaranteed to tank the economy and would be someone that no one who supported trump could staunchly defend. Now we’re going to get a decade of fascists saying “but the tariffs we wanted were never actually instituted so we’ll never know how good they would have been. That’s why I want to do this worse thing.”

Like, I understand that the liberation day tariffs were about to send the US into depression mode and I still kind of think them being blocked is a net good just cause of how bad we would have been fucked.

But God damn it’s going to be exhausting.

This is actually very funny and telling. Mike Pence is on the side of the maga Republican elite who thinks Trump is just a misguided megalomaniac like all of them who’s just taking his turn at power and all he’s looking for is a little grease in the wheels to see reason.

What Pence doesn’t realize is that Trump moved on from him long ago after dropping him like a soggy sandwich for crossing him even once.

I think the tp during COVID was kind of a fluke. It could have been anything. Laundry detergent, some food product etc. TP was just what the news hung their hat on so it’s what everyone thought about when they went to the store.

I’m personally buying rice, beans, and lots of spices to make some delicious meals and wait out the price shocks of food.

Besides that, I mean what do you really need need when it comes to this stuff? I can think of a few things but it’s a very short list. Really we’re just going to have to ride it out and hope it doesn’t get bad bad

What’s crazy is that it’s perfect. Getting rid of autistic people is exactly the intellectual purging that fascists want when they get into power.

I know not every autistic person is “an intellectual” but many transgressive artists and radical leftist college professors are autistic.

I’m at the point where I know he won’t face consequences because he’s rich. But an arrest and trial would at least be sanity.

I’m sure Elon pays a huge premium for an exclusive, on-call drug dealer.

I mean, lots of “libertarians” are frothing at the mouth to defund our military but agree that the government should at least subsidize healthcare and education with some of those funds. The terms we have are loosey-goosey and most people are incoherent policy to policy. We’ve just been sorted into groups by a century of two-party propaganda.

Yeah it’s a clever lie that’s perpetuated that says progressives have no where to go if they try to break from the Democrats. But secretly a more progressive platform would actually draw over a lot of disaffected libertarians and lite conservatives who only vote conservative because they’ve been convinced that they should only vote in opposition to Democrats instead of in favor of anything.

I don’t think you know how laws work, and I think you missed my point. And you even re-stated it. The laws exist, they just dont get enforced for myriad reasons. High-priced lawyers, complicated enforcement, burden of proof etc.

And at the end of the day, all laws are made up. Often, as you mentioned, the laws are in place with an intent that doesn’t get met. There isn’t anything from stopping a president from just upending the law and it’s up to the people in charge of upholding the laws the correct whatever shit gets thrown at the wall which we agree is often very laborious and often has bad actors working against it.

There’s very little difference (in the way that the actions function in the real world) between a written law and declaring another set of rules through sheer willpower and bullying except that hopefully over a relatively long time the rules get corrected back to the written law.

“legally required programs”? What law? Show me where that matters. Who will enforce such laws when all of the people running these programs are gone?

I know why Trump appeals to so many people. He’s the politician/business who acknowledged that rules are made up by fallible humans and can be re-written. The problem is, when we have similar politicians on the left who try to break the system for the working class the liberals agree that it’s terrible in the same way that they agree that trump is terrible, but the oligarchs don’t see an avenue for profit and so they fight against them as well.

41 tb?? What are you doing? Recording a lossless video of a 24/7 live stream?

How is Trump being trolled by this?

Buy a plastic skeleton from a Halloween shop

It’s probably the game that has the most disaffected centrists playing it.

What’s great is that if I’ve learned anything from these chronically online streamers/grifters is that Pool will never give up the ghost and we’ll get more and more desperate and hilarious content by him as he spirals.

But it’s a million across all states, and statistically most of that million are in NY and CA, especially because that’s where younger people who are more likely to know about a show like this live.

Unfortunately, these shows aren’t why it’s a coin flip. The tim cast channel has just over 1 million subscribers and the recent episodes struggle to crack 100k on the best days.

The reason the election is a coinflip is cause there’s swathes of the US that are barely connected to any form of media except fox news and spend their days in ultra-conservative ultra-religious echo chambers.

Don’t get me wrong, the foreign and domestic shadowy investment money is working, just not the portion that was allocated to propping up the tim cast.
