I hope that garbage PoS is still alive to see all of it torn down. Preferably from a view behind bars with the rest of the Nazi Party, I mean, the GOP.

he's going to pay a lot of money to be one of the first digital-immortal AIs and there will be debates about the ethics of torturing his AI model
There's an episode of Black Mirror where a murderer who was executed has his consciousness replicated so people can keep making him feel the pain of execution again and again
What a way to make money! "Download a copy of Trump's consciousness today and do whatever you want with it!"
(I will be opposed but it'll be a hard sell)
organize mass strikes and strike funds for those in need, connect with your neighbors, stop this gestapo poop
It’s his boyhood fantasy to pretend to be a king. It’s too bad no one told him that coward kings like him never ended well.
His sons absolutely seem the type to hire assassins on each other over succession. Fortunately he doesn't seem to care that much about any of them
The American people are allowing themselves to be embarrassed daily by this man. This can all end as soon as the American people decide to end it.
Hi, American here. I decided to end it. It doesn't seem to be ending. Now what?
Please enlighten me to this silver bullet action item that I can take to end this. I'm showing up to protests, I'm calling my representatives. It's not working.
You are a single person within the US. They are saying “the American people” which is to say that the collection of people made up of the general population of the US must decide to stop this nonsense.
That means that all of you need to finally stop chasing centrists, stop voting for fascists, etc. We aren’t stupid, we know that there are people trying, but “the American people” is a group still that includes tens of millions of nazis and tens of millions of people who don’t even vote because they’re ignorant of what’s going on.
That means that all of you need to finally stop chasing centrists, stop voting for fascists, etc.
And start working cooperatively together towards that common goal, rather than stubbornly insisting in being a bunch of "rugged individuals".
The bullets don't have to be silver. The GOP aren't werewolves.

They're not even get grifted by the Monorail guy from the Simpsons, they get grifted by a fat, stupid pedophile that shits his pants. Crayy

Does anyone have a link to the complete guest list of this recent schmooze a palooza?
Someone should forward a copy of that list to Luigi.....
Well… he’s a little imprisoned right now… but there are other people who may like to communicate that it’s in bad taste to celebrate decadence while almost have of our country lives in uncertainty.
Maybe he should say, "let them eat cake"
Let them eat big macs.
I hope Trump's "Let them eat bread" moment comes soon
Just out of curiosity, in this fantasy scenario does the military:
a) unanimously decides to join the "anty-Trump" movement and overseas peaceful transition of power
b) watches idly while ICE and secret service massacres protesters
c) splits into pro and anti Trump factions and starts civil war
?
I know a lot of people in the military. If you were on the inside, you'd see a lot of sudden, mostly innocuous incompetence, because the last thing most people in the military want to hear is someone telling them how to do their job. Couple that with most people in the military being relatively sane, and I'd bet you'll start to see operations get canceled or failed or reschedule due to all sorts of "oopsies".
The modern military has never had to deal with an insurrectionist in the oval office though, so who knows, but I don't think you'd see open rebellion from the armed forces, just epic sandbagging.
Caveat: This doesn't count any private armies the assholes in charge raise up, like how they're trying to turn ICE into their own Einsatzgruppen. those won't be staffed with military or ex military, they'll primarily be disaffected, uneducated young men they can control almost exclusively via propaganda.
If ICE ever started a shooting skirmish with a deployment of the National Guard, they'd have difficulty identifying the ICE member's bodies afterwards. Military units have discipline, but if they get fired on, all bets are off.
That's an interesting idea. 54-58% of military voted for Trump. So you think that half of the army would just sit there while the other half blocked their deployment or do you think that by the time people rise against Trump most of the military will stop supporting him?
They won't stop supporting him, but most of those trumpers are enlisted. The officers overwhelmingly don't support him, and we don't generally tell the enlisted why we are telling them to do something.
Edit: also those same officers have been sandbagging him all year. The fact that no one is noticing just tells me how few of y'all have military experience.
Great, so they will keep sandbagging him while ICE and police massacre protesters.
BTW, I did noticed that when Trump ordered the navy to bomb fishing boats one officer resigned and the bombings continued.
I left the officers cadre over a decade ago, so I don't know what the current discussions are. The military doesn't like to move without the people as a general rule, we know that y'all outnumber us by more than enough to make us stop.
I suspect that many of the officers are just waiting for Trump to invite the people, at which point things star moving fast. We don't like fast. Marines tend to break shit when they're going fast.
I'm sure if you break that down by branch you'll see it line up mostly by education. The Air Force has a lot less maga in it than the Marines, for example.
Same goes for the Officers vs Enlisted in every branch
