Here we go with the "Free Speech Absolutist" --> This is what he's planned. $50 Mil a month is a pittance compared to the $44 Billy he spent swinging Twitter/X hard toward the Radical Right.
I look forward to more shenanigans from the muskrat.

Fuck Oprah. She's an out of touch Billionaire who's commitment to junk science set Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil loose on the world and gave Jenny McArthy a platform for her anti-vax autism bullshit. She's absolutely not who we want running for president.
Which is it? A "peaceful protest by MAGA infiltratded by A Deep State/BLM/Antifa instigating a sedicious Riot" or "Need to blur faces to protect from the non-government retaliation". If it's the former, surely the GOP would not desire protection of the latter.
Or should I just now start saying that the GOP led Congress is protecting Antifa/Deep State/BLM traitors? I'mma run with that one....
“undermines the integrity of elections by increasing the opportunity for individuals to register to vote even though they are ineligible to do so.”
The quote is false on it's face - they already know that ineligible registrants won't get processed or be on the roll to vote. They want to keep disengaged voters disengaged - nothing else, here except for maybe the dog whistle of "illegal immigrant voters!"
If anything, this gives me hope still in 2024 that the GOP are STILL trying to suppress voter turnout because they know they will lose the popular vote because their policies are fascist garbage and so are their politicians.
Sedition noun : incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority

So.... she's pro choice?
Don't fret! 95+% all servers on the internet run Linux so the attack vector has been there for ages. Follow best practices and your risk will remain low!
Even among my red-state god-fearing right-wing family members, I have never heard a single man say anything approaching this. They all know exactly what he is and don't care. He has a very public and lengthy history of the opposite, and the NYT knows it.
For those not in the know... it's Subway.
What a clownshow of a Senator. This guy is one of 100 people in the country that get to vote on whether bills become law. He held up Military promotions (so much for the GOP for supporting our Military!) for ages because he didn't want gays or abortion anywhere near the military. I'm honestly certain that if enrollment was better, he'd say no Blacks or Browns either. The man is menace. Yet... keeps getting elected Corrected!
Who had "The Holy Spirit Defense" on their descent into fascism bingo card?
For those who may just be surfing and want to know... she was fired (allowed to resign) after they started digging into ties with Russian money. Jared Kushner and I believe some of Trump's kids were also her client (no shock there).
Also somewhat unsurpisingly Deutsche didn't find any connection to russian from their own internal investigation, but were prompted to hire external investigators... and I'll just post this little gem because if that doesn't sound like "we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong" to you, then this may help seal your opinion
In recent years the disgraced bank has been hit by a series of scandals. Last month the UK and US imposed record fines of $630m. Deutsche failed to prevent money laundering by its Moscow branch involving at least $10bn of Russian cash, regulators found.
only far far worse
The aim in a 2nd term for Trump would be to immediately politicize thousands of government positions that are apolitical and require years of education and experience to be competent. The administration felt hampered by being told "no" and "that's illegal" and "we can't do that" by so many of these long-standing staffers that they want to sweep away more than just cabinet and executive positions, but also thousands of jobs that literally keep the government going. It's a GOP wet dream... say that the government is useless and inefficient to get into office and implement changes that make those claims true. But beyond that, it immediately sets up even more executive power which has been their aim since Nixon.

Adult here.... the word you're looking for is alcohol.
I assume you refer to Putin. But you come of ambiguously for those who don't realize Finland isn't an aggressor. Really more of a FAFO type county. Don't fuck with the Finns.

a sunk cost is a sum paid in the past that is no longer relevant to decisions about the future.

Ban automatic guns to start off.
"automatic" - not sure if you realize it, but every automatic in this country is HEAVILY regulated behind stamps and they cost an absolute small fortune. They are also pretty much never involved in mass shootings. They're more of a gangland modded trigger type gun.
So I presume you actually mean "semi-automatic" here... and if that's the case, that's basically everything but pump-action shot guns, lever-action & bolt rifles, and revolvers. Now... there's no shortage of any of those, but semi-auto dwarfs that in terms of sheer volume of guns in the United States. And are you saying ban them all going forward? Or ban them all retro-actively? The former would be a herculean effort. The latter, you'd likely start an actual domestic war over if you got it anywhere near actual law.
I'm just here to educate, BTW. https://www.stonekettle.com/2015/06/bang-bang-sanity.html is a fantastic read. I recommend it for both gun-owners and gun-haters alike. It's the first real-world solution I've seen that I think both could find fairly reasonable.
All the best people are saying it

We've had human vaccines for many years, but they were pulled from the market. Yet dogs can get a vaccine today.
Among Republicans and independents who lean toward the Republican Party who say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, a large majority (78%) identify as conservative
Not singing loud enough - straight to jail.
Surprisingly, singing too loud? Also straight to jail.
Someone needs to check this daft cunt for proof of life. She sounds brain dead.
In all seriousness - can we crowd fund this purchase and make it immediately public?
Our econnomy is heavily tied to the Internet at this point. Billions in commerce are conducted directly and many billions more in enabled ("what's the closest pizza place?"). Not to mention stock trading, banking, government services, healthcare, etc. You're very much on track here and I don't think it's hyperbole.
While it could technically happen that our government could legally shut down the internet, it wouldn't last long or it means we are under attack (perhaps internally) and need to control damage/messaging.
If you're going to repeat russian propaganda - it's TWO fucking candidates blind to genocide and the one who is now the first ever US President convicted of a felony has repeatedly made comments that he wouldn't even hold back on Gaza and likely would accelerate it to "finish the job". Biden is no fucking hero here, but Trump is objectively worse on Israel-Palestine if you are a single issue voter. And Isreal-Palestine generally doesn't break the top 5 for single issue voters in the US, so please... please... stop with this.
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.
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.
Sorry to say, but this one goes well beyond the current fuckery of the existing Stock Market.
This is the biggest money laundering scheme ever run in public view. The only thing propping up any price for Truth SOcial are those with a vested interest in paying off The Donald and putting the GOP in power; Saudia Arabia and Russia - with just a splash of China. Follow the money.
This is 100% what the GOP wants. It worked for them in the judiciary and I am inclined to think it will work for them here. At first to make sure any non-conservative policy is removed and then to influence the military brass to setup for the next coup. I used to be a moderate voter and would vote for conservatives where their policies matched what I thought was reasonable and that I though I could count on to "do the right thing". The GOP drove any notion of that out of me forever with Trumpism.
The GOP is party over country and it's terrifying for our democracy. I LOATH Hillary Clinton and you'd have had to hold a gun to my head to get me to vote for her, but now I would vote for her in a heartbeat after what I've seen since ~2015.
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.
The rare Office Space paraphrase joke. I can only assume the downvotes haven't got a clue. NICE.
There is no way on earth that budget passes while Biden is President. But look for it to come back with vengeance if Biden loses.
Millenials (and maybe some younger GenX) will almost certainly be fucked. They will not touch any precious retirees because they know their voter base: "fuck the planet, fuck the youth, I got mine"
That's the neat thing! They don't.
Missing the point on purpose there to fit your agenda? OP is CLEARLY talking about nextdoor neighbors. When Vietnam moves continents, you let us know...
Quick edit - I upvoted your comment on JAG at Gitmo and DeSantis being a black hole for ethics, so I"m genuinely wondering why you're making the point about the Us and Wars.
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?
Did you read the fucking dissent? That's a sitting SC Justice saying that quote, not some arm chair IANAL basement dweller:
If one of the dissenting justices thinks it likely, we better pay attention. The whole "They were very clear that non-official acts are not covered." is a pillar built on sinking sand - what defines non-official becomes subjective real fast. Biden could assassinate every conservative justice on SCOTUS and get his own in there to make it all legal. Threats of the same to any in congress who won't play ball.
And if someone can't imagine Biden doing it (I can't), I'm thinking that there are quite a few citizens who believe Trump abso-fucking-lutely would pull that shit. With a majority on SCOTUS already he could just start going after political rivals and keep SCOTUS themselves in check with threats of the same. If SCOTUS has done anything they've painted themselves in a corner and only Congress can unfuck us with impeachment (as unlikely as that seems!)
