If Alex Jones becomes press secretary, I’ll be convinced that this is all a simulation.
A part of me actually wished that the Onion would have purchased InfoWars, but in secret, like maybe under a subsidiary corp that has a right-wing sounding name.
They don’t change Infowars’ branding or anything but the articles become subtly liberal.
Maybe an overt purchase is better but I really want to troll the right.
My guess is that it’s the easiest and cheapest way to set up “MFA”.
The number of banks that don’t have proper MFA really bugs me.
Why have a trial? SCOTUS already ruled President Trump is a king and can kill anyone so long as it’s an official act.
We are entering the beginning stages of fascism people. Hold onto your butts.
I wish I could for the life of me remember which book I was reading when I heard this but basically the ultimate goal of fascism is cronyism, where a very small number of people control and have power over everyone else.
In order to accomplish this, they create enemies just like you state but they are very specific in the order in which those enemies are created.
It starts with people with whom you can easily identify. Immigrants, people who are a different color than you. Different languages, different look. Basically you are creating a group of who is bad so that you can create an implicit group of those who are “good”. But it’s important that the characteristics of who is good is never defined.
Once you isolate those who look different, you isolate those who act different. This is why trans people are attacked before homosexuals are attacked. Or in our current environment, there is a lot more violent rhetoric against the trans community than the LG community. But once they are gone, their hatred will return to homosexuals.
Once those who act different are dealt with, now you have to be more arbitrary because you have a homogeneous group. Now it becomes about status and class. So you the poor are the ones that face the brunt of the state.
At this point, cronyism usually sets in and you either are loyal or you are killed.
The pledge clearly stated that it only applies to Democrats!
The only hope I hold onto is that we need a constitutional convention anyway. If this convinces states to actually trigger an Article 5 convention, then I’m all for it.
“If you want roses, one must mind the thorns.”
They voted for a racist, rapist with felony convictions and a pending prison sentence.
They may have not wanted to be treated like property but they are going to be. And if they don’t like that, they can leave…except the very people they voted for are removing the ability for women to leave their husbands.
And even if they leave, even if they get to a safe place, I fucking guarantee you that they will still vote for Republicans.
If you want to give those women empathy, by all means. These women are about to experience fascism in a way they have never seen before. But don’t think for a second they wouldn’t vote for it again because of their values™.
What we should do is put chainlink fence around the corner, but make the part that the users loved the most accessible with a monthly pass that they can only walk on with shoes purchased at the university store.

Do not under any circumstances bring your cell phone, dumb or not, to a protest.
Memorize important numbers, writing them in your arm if necessary.
Answer all questions with “I assert my fifth amendment right and will not answer any further questions without my attorney.”
The ironic thing is Breyers ran commercials about how you could pronounce every ingredient in their ice cream. They had like a 10 year old read their ingredient list vs. competitors.
But when they got bought out by Unilever, quality went downhill fast
For now. I fully expect rules like this to be fully rolled back so that ice cubes will be legally “ice cream”.
They didn’t vote for this. They voted for other women to be treated this way. Whores. Sluts.
Not them. Because they are Christian and blessed™.
Their husbands/boyfriends/pastors will never treat them that way.
Until they do and then they’ll be Pikachu face.
There is a scene in Mr Robot where Darlene is able to do a full wipe on her phone without even looking at the screen.
I wish I was that good.
I want a way that I can trigger this from the main lock screen without unlocking the phone.
Like a specific pin you have to enter twice to trigger the full wipe.

Yeah but Epstein’s friends are rich and have ready access to attorneys.
More evidence that our justice system is more about punishing the poor.
Guys guys…I think we have a loophole. We can crime so long as we have a PAC and run for president.
You should be able to bring up about:profiles
in your browser and set up and launch profiles from there.
Lol.
Four years? Try four decades. The ramifications of Trump’s first term is still being felt now.
I wonder if mobile providers are still getting paid for long distance calls. Because if they are, they have a perverse incentive to keep scammers on the line.
Which, in this isolated case, I’m okay with.
