  • Yup.

    Even if Trump ceases to exist tomorrow, we’re still fucked. He’s opened the door for copycat politicians for the rest of our lives. Our electoral system is comically corrupt and non-representative. Our entire political system is comically corrupt with way fewer safeguards than we all assumed. Our justice system is incapable of enforcing the law on the wealthy. And there are simply too many stupids in this country.

    No party will ever have the massive majority required to make the fundamental changes required to fix all this. Only one party is even somewhat interested in doing so. Short of a revolution and complete wipe and reset of our government and how it functions, the only way this country is going is down.







  • I mean, I could make tacos at home. Or I could pay a bit more to go pick them up somewhere. I could change my own oil, or I could have someone else do it.

    I could spend time downloading all this data and uploading it to a hard drive I purchase. I know how to do it all. But for the price they’re charging for the drive AND Raspberry Pi and the service of gathering and uploading the data, it’s not that bad of a deal. Especially if you work a full time job and want to use your free time to not do a chore like this. I mean I’m pretty sure there’s torrents for Wikipedia. Not so sure about WikiHow.

    If the price was higher I’d be complaining. It’s pretty reasonable. It’s a peace of mind thing without hassle for anyone with even a little extra cash lying around.


  • What showed up on Jan 6 were a few thousand redneck losers, many of whom already had criminal convictions. What I’m talking about is something that will need to be larger than the Civil Rights march on DC in '63. Larger than the 2020 protests. What showed up on Jan 6 were dipshits who believed an election was stolen without a shred of evidence. If this fuck tries remaining after 2 terms there’s no guesswork involved. No BELIEF that something is wrong. You’re going to see something unlike anything this country has seen before that unites all liberals, all independents, a lot of people who never identified as anything before, and probably even a lot of conservatives who still have some sort of red line.

    A president only getting 2 terms is one of those basic, foundational rules that is easy to understand. There’s lots of grey area in what Trump and his fascist enablers are doing, especially to stupid people. But even stupid people get the 2 term rule and can grasp why it matters.









  • In case anyone is still unsure, he is not willingly leaving in 2028. Everything that’s happening indicates he is setting up a path for him to remain. One of two things are going to happen in our future.

    1. We will need to march on DC in INSANE numbers and force him to leave with the threat of lethal force.

    2. We will have to use lethal force to make him leave.

    Only other possibility is he dies of natural causes before then. But then we get Vance and we’ll probably have to do the same thing. This isn’t just Trump. The entire GOP apparatus is a fascist movement. The only reason he didn’t do it last time is because he hadn’t set up the foundation for him to remain by doing this like, I don’t know, instructing the FBI to arrest federal judges who oppose him, which is a line we just crossed today.

    Fascism is here. Arm yourselves. Help others arm themselves. Train. Help others train.
