Lmao no fucking way. That’s hilarious

It’s cute that you think things like “laws” and “precedent” are going to give Trump + the Nationalist Christians even a fraction of a second of pause.
Frankly, I’m expecting laws and divisions of power to be broken quite flagrantly, and nothing will be done about it.
Apparently there’s a thing called “linear compensators” which are essentially almost as effective as silencers (when used with subsonic ammo), but don’t require a tax stamp? Someone with more firearms knowledge than I can surely share more details on that. But I came across the things recently and found it rather curious.
Hey Joe maybe try to look less fucking stoked for the destruction of democracy that you fucking helped usher in? Honestly, he looks like a fucking wax model. About as useful, too.
Point of order: it’s less that Trump won than Harris lost. Specifically: trumps numbers barely edged up from 4 years ago. Harris support, compared to 4 years ago, PLUMMETED.
Maybe the DNC needs to find a ladder so they can climb down out of their own asses and actually fucking listen to the middle and lower class. They lost this because they took the base for granted and the base was very fucking fed up. That, imo, is the biggest root cause: inept and out-of-touch politicians, as usual for the Democratic Party. World fucking champions at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Ok so I’m like… not upset about this at all. Also, I know this is the millennial equivalent of “get off my lawn”, but fuck me if I don’t find the concept of “being an influencer” fucking dumb. Do a thing you love, post the content if you think you’re good, and be a known expert with a following. Don’t just PR for the sake of doing PR and then hope people listen to you. What the fuck even is that?
Oh, did you just get the memo?
They will drag this out until January 20th and then it will disappear
gestures vaguely at the last week in particular
Nobody’s saying it’d be lawful. But personally, were I a military officer, given a choice between doing a thing to save my institution and then falling on my sword, or doing nothing and watching an institution I love get corrupted and turned against the country and oaths its supposed to serve… I imagine I’d pick the former.
It’s very much a catch-22 situation. But at the same time, there’s clearly a less catastrophic (in the long-term) choice available here.
I honestly can’t believe I’m looking at the prospect of a military coup with a grain of hope at this point, but here we are. What a time to be alive.
LLMs are largely worthless (in the context of improving human society).
Neural Nets aimed at much more specific domains (recognizing and indicating metastases or other abnormalities in pathology slides for human review, for example) are EXTREMELY useful and worthwhile.
The J6 crowd are going to get a blanket pardon. This will form (or, I should say, has already formed) the nascent core of what I can only describe as an American Sturmabteilung. They will be fanatically devoted to Trump, because he personally, and in a very real sense, will have saved them from languishing in jail, and “redeemed” them with a pardon (putting aside the fact that, in legal parlance, that is categorically not what a pardon does). I will be shocked if we do not have a Krystallnacht 2: electric boogaloo inside of a year from Trump taking office again.
People need to start taking this shit seriously and to prepare accordingly. There is a playbook here, and they’re following it. It’s from history. It’s a very, very dangerous playbook. You know what I’m talking about.
No the fuck they did not.
They contributed to this outcome. But the real root cause is that the DNC thought it would be a great idea to just straight up ignore the base, ignore the fact that despite the fact that “the economy is great”, normal fucking people in the middle and lower class have been struggling for like a decade and a half. The middle class is being hollowed out, and the lower class is being crushed to death. THAT is the primary reason Harris lost: nobody believes the idiotic platitudes the DNC shills anymore, because there’s never fucking ANY follow through. Single issue voters were just the frosting on that cake.
All that said: dropping that many voters from the base should be grounds for fully excommunicating any and all party leadership from the DNC. And if they aren’t , the Democratic Party genuinely cannot be considered a serious political party anymore (but they’ll surely shamble on for years due to mega donors).
Agreed on all but one point:
Ukraine won’t cease to exist. They’ll just fulfill their threat to execute a crash nuclear weapons development program, if that truly becomes their only option.
I’ll be a liiiiitle surprised if even the GOP senate allows him through
