  • We’re ignoring the constitution already.

    14th Amendment. Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

    The man is an adjudicated insurrectionist. Congress just ignored their duty.

    So yes, there “are” protections. Said protections are simply being ignored.



  • I have had multiple comments that I likely have ADHD. One asked if I had something else common I forget what.

    My answer is maybe. I don’t exactly go to the doctor. I know I should, but I’m generally healthy and don’t want to spend $200 every couple months to be told what I already know.

    And it really bothers me when people claim something because they think the label is cool/trendy/some sort of thing to be proud of. Man I didn’t do anything but be born. Feels like something to be neutral of when you’re born with it. I didn’t earn anything. I take no meds. I have no diagnosis. Who am I to claim I have something when I’m undiagnosed and could end up just adding to a trend of claiming something just because it grants me bragging rights or something? I want people who need help to be able to get help, not be drowned out by undiagnosed people like me claiming they have something making it harder to see who actually needs help and who want to be in the cool club.

    I function fine with just ibuprofen now and then. So thanks in advance to anyone who’d say to go get diagnosed, but I’m in the United Corporations of America. I’ll stick with my on the shelf pain drug, caffeine, and copium. Helps me pay for other things easier.

    I rambled. Good meme. Got me thinking again.




  • After all we just witnessed?

    Four years stalling courts and avoiding punishment for insurrection, theft of classified documents, etc.

    Getting legal permission to break any law he pleases.

    Convincing even democrats that tge constitution, specifically the Fourteenth amendment, means nothing and isn’t worth acting on.

    Openly planning the worst possible cabinet.

    Not having any investigation or action on votes from targeted minorities get Jim Crow’d away.

    No recounts when suspicious vote trends are spotted.

    Survival of an assassination attempt.

    … Yeah I’m going high. 70% chance minumum if he wants to. He could just order a public hit on the next in line as a presidential act. Clearly no one will stop him.

    There should not BE a timeline where he succeeded the second time. The fact that there is implies he can do literally anything he wants.



  • While this isn’t a suggestion, just want to say don’t let other people saying one person doesn’t make a difference discourage you from doing what you can anyway.

    “What is any ocean but a multitude of drops”? If a million people each don’t bother because they alone don’t make a difference?

    Similar to the Starfish Story.

    Actual suggestions:

    • Aid education. Lots of illiterate youth is going to be a problem when they can’t even read to research on their own.
    • Encourage increasing plant-based agriculture and the reduction of animal agriculture. Animal agriculture is terrible for the environment, and ironically the “green” version of it is even worse for the environment than factory farming if it were done to scale with the same product output. (Hunting is also not good to promote as an alternative, because if we hunted as much as we eat we would absolutely cause mass extinction very fast.)

  • Fake housing listing. Said the key would be mailed because they weren’t in the area at the time, and wanted payment via some sort of money order or special check type or something (I forget exact details).

    I needed to find a place quickly, with no idea how to do so or what I was doing, that would accept two people and multiple cats, on only my income (not a lot).

    I got the wrong kind of payment, was able to get money back from that, and when I went to get the “right” kind of payment the cashier let me know it was a common scam.
