I am shocked and appalled… Wait not “shocked”… What’s the word? Oh yeah “completely unsurprised.”

The Tate brothers thing was a bizarre one though. Soon as they landed in Florida they were being investigated again by US authorities and then they immediately hopped on a plane back to Romania.

Sounds one of Elon Musk’s gaming handles.

As long as we classify “TDS” as people who wallpaper their whole house in Trump election signs

This is why settlements are bullshit. Companies get away with stuff all the time just by paying off whoever sued them.

Not loving guns and murder? Unamerican communist!

Talking about a lady’s body parts or for that matter anything remotely related to sexuality? Jesus Christ won’t someone please save our children from this fate worse than death!?

3. They are purposefully sowing more confusion. All the chaos being a smokescreen to hide the obvious fact that they have both hands in the public coffers and are grabbing what they can.

Americans will sign up for any crazy scheme that drains their wallets as long as you don’t call it “paying a tax for public access to healthcare”

And there it is. Embedding proprietary foreign software you have no control over on all levels of your infrastructure. Now you’re screwed.

You’re right, but to be honest I would not have thought the slide to authoritarianism would go this fast. We still have to see of course who will win the legal battles, the courts or Trump, but it’s not looking great.

Probably should consider moving the foundation to the EU or at least somewhere not so hostile to fact based information services.

Fair, although I don’t think he gives a damn about them either.

I doubt Trump gives a damn what happens to the US so long as he can profit in the short term.

Unfortunately they won’t care. By the time you can explain they’re 5 scandals along. Trump just has to scream bloody murder about something else every day. Reality is irrelevant.

Get out of here with your woke straws. If it isn’t guaranteed to kill a dolphin every time I take a drink I don’t want any part of it.

Any word yet on what the joystick tech will be? Mouse operation is all very interesting but drift is my main concern for the new joycons.

One of our most important institutions. I worry they’re going to be the first against the wall.

We can parade around and yell “we told you so” or we can welcome anyone who wants to add to the resistance. It’s up to us. That said, I don’t know if WSJ will ever be of any meaningful value to the resistance.

In a democracy, when you’re not in power what do you do to get that power back? You show the electorate that you’re fighting for what they think is important. If Democrats absolutely insist on business as usual, promoting corporate interests and occasionally pausing to shout “fascist” at Trump, all the while just plain ignoring people’s actual concerns we’re going to lose the next election and the next one.

Do you think a large majority of Trump voters (not the vocal, terminally online ones) are actively hoping for an end to democracy? No, they’re just misled by someone who pretends to be on their side. And to turn the tide we need them back on our side. You think they’re going to be convinced by us shouting “fascist” at them? Obviously not. So what’s your plan to control the narrative?

Trump has a plan. Unlike the tone deaf democrats who even now don’t seem to be able to present a message that normal people are interested in. They’re seen mostly as defenders of the status quo. The status quo that forces folks to work 3 jobs to make rent, then Trump comes along and shouts “death to the status quo”. Just repeatedly shouting back “Trump is evil” isn’t going to cut it.
