Maybe Trump’s plan is to eject Johnson, get Republicans in the House to elect him to be Speaker, hold both positions at the same time (because who’s gonna tell him he can’t? His handpicked Supreme Court?), then simply refuse to acknowledge the results of the election if it goes South for him.

No, I disagree. It was all about the sexism. Cameron Harris would have won that election, taking all the same positions as Kamala Harris, with the only difference being his ownership of a penis.

The thing with modern misogynists is that they are self-aware enough to know that they can’t just come out and say that they are voting based on what organs the candidates possess. So they fool themselves into using other excuses… “she’s a cop”, “GeNoCiDe”, or my favorite “she reminds me too much of my ex”.

“This isn’t what I voted for. But what choice did I have? Did you expect me to vote for a woman?”

A great Canadian philosopher once noted, “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice!”

No, you can flip a coin with gloves on, especially if you are flipping it onto to the ground. Just give it a bit of spin as it leaves.

A more competent human might have even practiced, but practicing is just an acknowledgement that you might not know everything already.

I did Nazi that coming

Honestly, I think the difference is how much software is in these things now. Everything is a computer. And software is something that is very cheap to do half-assed, but expensive to do well (and reliably).

TVs are a perfect example of this. The TV of 40 years ago had an analog tuner directly attached to a CRT. It did only one thing, and did it well. Today’s TVs are basically embedded computers with large screens. And the embedded software was probably written by the lowest bidder.

Yeah, but I wouldn’t tap that

trumped-up charges

I see what you did there

I was forced to quit using Reddit for the perfectly legitimate reason that it is run by a greedy little pigboy

Be careful what you wish for, if she blows up MAGA for good they will all run to whatever shitty political party Elon Musk is planning.

She doesn’t have the votes. If she did, she would just do it, and nobody involved would leak it to the press first.

It probably will work well for Republicans, because those same 40-45% of people have been conditioned by their media to repeatedly vote against their interests. This won’t change their vote at all.

These pictures all came from Epstein’s estate. I think you have hit the nail on the head, though. He would hold parties on his private island, have his own photographers there taking pictures, and then hold the pictures in case they became useful collateral at some point.

It worked well for Epstein, until it didn’t.

I don’t mean to jump down your throat on this, my beef isn’t with you. But I think it’s attitudes like this that enable Fascist regimes to establish themselves.

If things continue to go badly here in the US then historians will view this as “appeasement”. Not standing up against Fascism because it was more profitable that way.

But according to the article, these new hurdles will apply to visitors under the ESTA waiver also. And those are just as likely to be business travelers on short trips as they are full-on tourists.

Tell American executives that they can’t enter Europe, even for a week, without surrendering their own social media history and then they get to experience actual consequences.

At what point do these countries start reciprocating?

Start subjecting Americans (who can afford to go abroad) to the same bullshit we subject foreigners to and we might find support for the regime evaporating…

They do support free speech! You can say whatever you want, as long as it is not mean to Donald Trump.
