Both. Within the last week.

They’re altering the fabric of our rule of law to protect Trump. Bribery? It’s cool as long as it’s AFTER the politician carries out the request. President does anything illegal (including killing a political rival (sorry, Traitor!) or selling state secrets to Russia for example… as long as it’s “official” (and SCOTUS rules what is and isn’t “official”) - it’s all good.

If Trump wins we are one Reichstag Fire away from a complete fascist dictatorship and frankly it may not even take that. Trump already “liked” a couple of posts suggesting military tribunals and firing squads for Biden, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and anyone else he finds disloyal or having persecuted him… And he’s said he’ll be a dictator on day one. If someone tells you who they are, believe them.

My loathe for conspiracy theorists-flat earthers especially-kind of makes me want to watch this.

That’s quite literally what they are hoping. This is rage-bait sensationalistic reality TV. Don’t fucking give it the time of day and stop sharing for fake internet points… let it die as it should.

Edit: Also downvoted the article because I’m using the same logic… it’s not personal - I just am so tired of seeing posts that are effectively free advertisement for things I despise and don’t want to encourage it.

Nextcloud needs to port over some of the old OC Documentation. Their own docs make all kinds of references and it’s always something esoteric.

Russia already has him.

This really feels like an “I’m done with the Internet for the evening” kinda story.

I don’t get the cough like it was some secret that was openly known or should be hidden?

Speaking of saber rattling, I found this quote mildly amusing:

The flex notably comes amid persistent tensions with Russia, which has been rattling the nuclear saber lately

“lately”? I mean, if you’re saying repetetive nuclear threats for 2 years + since starting a war with Ukraine, then sure?

Not singing loud enough - straight to jail.

Surprisingly, singing too loud? Also straight to jail.

If you are a cis-het white who at least publicly proclaims belief in Jesus, you should be fine. For eveyone else, they’ll start with those who have the least power and keep coming for the next out-group on the ladder… and they’ll use anyone they can convince along the ladder to kick off those on a lower rung.

Let’s see, illegal immigrants, homeless, drug addicts, trans, gay, muslim, atheist, brown, jewish - appologies if sure if I left anyone out. You may disagree with the order, but I might not be far off.

Come at me with my OS/2 Warp system, bitches!

Truly, email is (thankfully) mostly unspoiled as a protocol since it’s beginning. Other than minor improvements and additions like HTML and spam filters and the like, anyone can host an email service and interface with anyone else on the Internet with the same protocol.

Imagine having $700 million, having almost no responsibility, and still being that much of a putz.

We need someone to ask him how he’d like to die like that boat electricution vs. shark question: “How would you rather die? Drink bleach or inject it?”

Am in Illinois today. Can confirm, nothing destroyed and certainly not disintegrated.

then shalt thou count to three…

I remember how frequent “legislating from the bench” came up on the news - Is the GOP up in arms about this one?

Not an excuse… but unironically this is why so many rural States are Red. Lack of opportunity and the only hope is in religion. Addressing very real existential erosion of their livelihoods and economic fears would go a long way toward avoiding a civil war. Which another Trump presidency might just bring about…to the Russian’s joy, having set the wheels in motion decades ago.

In all seriousness - can we crowd fund this purchase and make it immediately public?

The salt-water of life!
