I think doing something about the absolute lunatic who was not elected to anything running around and wrecking the government would probably be a good idea.

How exactly is it a "criminal organization?"

How exactly is it a "criminal organization?"

A bunch of people working together committing various crimes to benefit themselves.

It's crime and it's organized.

Getting hot, I'm placing a t-15 days before a govt official gets shot by someone trying to usurp them.

George Lucas was a one in a life time visionary: https://bsky.app/profile/wapplehouse.bsky.social/post/3lha7crgxac2h

But talking about this, I was thinking, wouldn't be better for some countries to NOT apply retaliatory tariffs and continue buying from murrica cheaper?

Good read. All of it. Seems like we are living through a major inflection point in history.

JD Vance was right - just dare the courts to stop you. Who's going to do it? Who knew this entire thing lasted almost 250 years simply on people keeping their word. That is now over.

America Has Entered a Post-Constitutional Era

The moment the Founders feared is here. Your country is being taken from you. It's on you to stop it, and time is not on your side.

Um... that's literally every government ever. Constitutions and laws are just pieces of paper - they only have meaning if people believe they have meaning and act accordingly.

 

[MrSquished]

We are just about entering a full-fledged constitutional crisis. And it only took them 2 weeks. Hitler dismantling democracy took just under 2 months. Considering that there are literal Nazis in the White House now I mean one can think they probably used that timeline as their goal.

I reckon it goes further than that. Constitutions always depend on something outside themselves for their continued existence, as they always contain the mechanisms for their own subversion. You don't have to ignore or formally violate a constitution to undermine its spirit and purpose. They always have weak-spots that allow them to be unraveled without actually breaking them.

I really suspect it has some relation to all that Godel 'incompleteness theorem' stuff. It seems like an analogous phenomenon.

remember when "unelected officials" running organizations was the worst thing that ever happened in the conservative brain? I wonder what @pcgeek11 and @Greenman and @FelixDeCat and @brandonbull et al that proudly voted for this nonsense think about very loud Nazis like Musk doing exactly what they said was always wrong?

Musk, an autistic ketemine addicted citizen of South Africa plugged in an unsecured email server at the opm and has a been siphoning data for over a week.
He also has partial control over the elderly fucking moron who is sitting in the oval office. The moron is also under the spell of a psycho religious nut and several people who are literally native enthusiasts who believe in that everything must be destroyed to prepare for their Armageddon scenario.

You have a bunch american oligarchs who read a fucking shitty book and now think that is how society should be structured so they are all playing the game for the white house.

The mental defects that voted for all this are going to get exactly what the rest of us told them they were going get but they are such idiots they'll just rehash what the propaganda machine tells them.

I stopped posting around here because post from people like the ones you mentioned were just too much stupidity for one man to take.

I came back to this forum mainly to see if you still had your GTI.

Even worse... Musk is a confirmed ally of Putin. Literally Musk wants Trump and Putin the approval to distract China while conquering Africa starting to the south.

Yeah, and I'm getting all of these emails daily--more for my coworkers, though, as I'm sort of hybrid. It's anxiety all day, all precipitated by the wholly unqualified, completely ignorant children that stormed into OPM, as you say, completely high on ketamine. The emails read exactly like this.

Oh my yes, and only 29k miles and I've not yet wrecked it! But I'm generally driving more daily due to METRO being preposterously unreliable and expensive, and my work-social life having changed a bit over the last year or so, requiring more fluidity in my mobility options.

Dealer called me last year to see if I wanted to trade it in, and I said I would do that if he had an MK8 R, manual, with the mk7 interior/steering wheal, buttons, etc. He did not.

If they can shut down USAID, they can probably shut down OSHA with or without a bill.

Shame for all those blue collar workers who voted Trump. But I’m sure they’re sleeping safer because trans people aren’t using their bathrooms—they’re not too worried about losing an arm or a leg.

Right out of Moscow's playbook. Putin will be impressed. Trumps state run media! Working to eliminate "unfriendly" media. Sense of paranoia, mistrust of workers and need to control what the public sees and hears. Fascism coming to America. I never dreamed I'd see this day!

They're fixing it "so good".

Farmers and autoworkers are gonna get fucked hard and fast. I saw an analysis over the weekend that car plants would be effectively shutting down in the next week or so because of parts shortage.

This is pretty much true. In the OSHA classes I’ve attended, the blue collar workers were always bitching about OSHA while the middle management types accepted that safety practices really do save the company money. Dead workers are cheap, maimed workers are hella expensive.
