Still waiting for the crazy shaman to be elected senator.

There is no way to rescue the USA from what will happen the next decades, there is no mechanism. And that is even if democrats make a majority win in both houses next year.

The USA will still decline and it will be a messy time filled with multiple failures by the thousands for the next generation or two.

That said, I see hope still, just not in federal government or many state governments, but in new ways for the common people to organize in communities .

But yea, many of the agitators locked up now will be filthy rich later

I tried compiling gentoo a bit later, upgraded from windows 95. Could never get to a login screen, I quit, and started using Linux later when it was easier to install

I prefer a different spelling?

It’s just a different brutality. Those who know their history will find it familiar, only it’s Americans who face it now.

It’s also not a surprise it happened. People 40 years back could have said that once people in the USA do it to other countries, sabotage the infrastructure, then they or their children could do it to Americans too. And so they did

Where they execute even more!

I also think this reflects the true number of the user base: less reports because of what you said, and also there are less people who see the material

Does it matter then? I think I will not care what he does later, unless he wiggles into real power

Watching the different institutions take sides shows the political fault lines that have built up for more than a generation. It’s sort of pretty, and educational.

Harvard was always old money, and most the older families of the super rich do not support what is happening. They want the old empire back, among other things.

Columbia is more new money, and the politically connected , one will see the more recently wealthy , as a rule, or the older ones who are more opportunistic.

Maybe you’re right, or maybe this is not important at all because there are no effective checks.

I’m no legal expert, and I don’t understand many things. But it seems to me if there were effective checks, then others would have applied it already.

My unjustified opinion is that this, if real, is a last gasp by a few patriots who do not see the writing on the wall, and whose actions will largely be forgotten in the chaos to come.

I hope I’m wrong

Well, its no fairy tale with a happy ending. Unless you are selling happy endings ? My way is more honest

The last time I fell for that was the Mueller report.

Show me someone slowly fighting against what is happening and I will show you someone grandstanding, on the take or an idealist out of touch with things

Obviously this purge will increase the background mortality rate in the USA by some fraction over the next decade, killing tens of thousands due to cancer and complications of malnutrition.

But can we look on the lighter side? I have always claimed gummy bears are a nutritional meal, and there are fewer people to stop me from advertising that now

The delegation will not be allowed to see him or take his body back. Because no matter this guy’s status, it’s in the best interest of many that he never be seen again.

But the politicians going there will make pretty speeches which will have zero insight about how to stop others from meeting the same fate.

Perhaps those in congress, while making regular trips back and forth to help him and others, can be supported by public contributions, or even help for their campaigns later? Not that they would ask, of course. But others have, I have seen it.

All the politicians making a profit from this should give a percentage to his family, it’s only fair

He would be lucky to have that? According to some this is top level federal terrorism charges with capital punishment .

:Not sure if sarcastic or not, confused about current events. Is what I said real or a bad joke? No clue

Can’t riot if only go outdoor twice a month to politely protest for part of a day .

Can’t organize riots in social posts.

Small groups of wealthy and influential citizens cannot ask, once more, if you will please riot.

The USA cannot riot at all right now.

It’s broken

The phrase is “political prisoner”, and this is like Russian political prisoners

Cool !

Also everyone laughs or sneers or grimaces at SCOTUS these days.

The only people who take it seriously are the professionals in law who have so much sunk cost they cannot break away
