If Alex Jones becomes press secretary, I'll be convinced that this is all a simulation.

A part of me actually wished that the Onion would have purchased InfoWars, but in secret, like maybe under a subsidiary corp that has a right-wing sounding name.

They don't change Infowars' branding or anything but the articles become subtly liberal.

Maybe an overt purchase is better but I really want to troll the right.

Unilever is a conglomerate, much like Nestle, and has brands under many different types of products.

Yeah the fuckers sold out. B&J quality has been in the shitter ever since. Yeah they still sell pint sizes but I fully expect them to fuck with that too.

My guess is that it's the easiest and cheapest way to set up "MFA".

The number of banks that don't have proper MFA really bugs me.

Why have a trial? SCOTUS already ruled President Trump is a king and can kill anyone so long as it's an official act.

We are entering the beginning stages of fascism people. Hold onto your butts.

I wish I could for the life of me remember which book I was reading when I heard this but basically the ultimate goal of fascism is cronyism, where a very small number of people control and have power over everyone else.

In order to accomplish this, they create enemies just like you state but they are very specific in the order in which those enemies are created.

It starts with people with whom you can easily identify. Immigrants, people who are a different color than you. Different languages, different look. Basically you are creating a group of who is bad so that you can create an implicit group of those who are "good". But it's important that the characteristics of who is good is never defined.

Once you isolate those who look different, you isolate those who act different. This is why trans people are attacked before homosexuals are attacked. Or in our current environment, there is a lot more violent rhetoric against the trans community than the LG community. But once they are gone, their hatred will return to homosexuals.

Once those who act different are dealt with, now you have to be more arbitrary because you have a homogeneous group. Now it becomes about status and class. So you the poor are the ones that face the brunt of the state.

At this point, cronyism usually sets in and you either are loyal or you are killed.

Iirc the way these bases work is with the agreement from the host country.

The pledge clearly stated that it only applies to Democrats!

Seat headrests can be pulled out and the metal guides used in a pinch.

The only hope I hold onto is that we need a constitutional convention anyway. If this convinces states to actually trigger an Article 5 convention, then I'm all for it.

I was just thinking this. If you're dev, being on pure Linux makes a ton of sense. But if you're a gamer, Windows is still your best option.
