“Something I hope we can do no matter who you voted for is see each other not as adversaries but as fellow Americans, Bring down the temperature.”

No. Human rights aren’t a disagreement. We can disagree on whether or not we enjoyed a movie or on what pizza toppings we prefer. But if the disagreement is that you want to kill me or people I care about, you are, by definition, my adversary.

A law that virtually everyone breaks and is easily selectively enforced is extremely valuable to authoritarian regimes. It’s a wildcard to imprison whoever they want.

It all makes sense when you realize they have no intention to actually run the country in good faith. They intend to do two things, plunder everything they can, and irreparably destroy the country’s future to get revenge for having the audacity to try to move forward.

So he’s just lifting Jimmy Saville’s slogan?

Fuck embargos, invade and liberate us. Return the favor we did for Germany 80 years ago.

2 years. Immediately after the midpoint of the term, he’ll get 25th’d, giving Vance the remainder of the term and leaving him eligible for two more, which he’ll win due to the 2028 and 2032 elections both being North Korea style shams, intended to compile lists of suspected dissidents rather than decide anything.

It’s been in hospice since 2000.

Trump is just the useful idiot to install Vance, who’s essentially a Musk proxy.

That’s why it’s an unofficial promise, he’s obviously not following through but Musk is dumb enough to trust him.

Oh, it’s absolutely illegal, but it’s a federal crime and he probably has an unofficial promise from Trump that he’ll be pardoned for it if the scheme works.

Sure. Let’s just apply that consistently then. Atoms are binary, the vast majority (with fewer than 1% of atoms being exceptions) can be accurately identified as one of two distinct elements, hydrogen or helium.

Yep. Same software, same hardware, just different config files.

The problem is focusing on danger implies strength. They want the guy that’s dangerous to their enemies. Mocking him erodes some of that power.

So where are the “Republicans are good for the economy” voters now?

They think it’s better to make things worse if you personally can avoid blame for it on a technicality.

A fire hurricane would be terrifying.

Not just COVID, Trump’s main strategy in 2020 was to turn “taking the pandemic seriously” into a partisan issue in order to make it so early and mail voting become disproportionately blue (there was no significant correlation in the past) while poisoning the well on those ballots’ legitimacy.

Instead of blaming doctors for not martyring themselves for the Hippocratic oath, we should be putting the blame on the lawmakers that created this scenario to begin with.

We’re only yelling “Nazi” because the other side is yelling “heil Hitler”.
