It happened later when the ghoul was laughing back at the office

Nope.

If they leave him alone it might cause others to get…. “Ideas” that are contrary to the regime.

Are we taking bets he can’t even point to it on a map?

He bought successful companies and fucked them over.

Every company that has remained successful after he got involved did so by keeping him the fuck away.

So no. He’s not a successful businessman, he’s not an engineer either.

He’s a venture capitalist, and not even a very good one.

I wonder if we can get grok to delete itself.

Yes but now I have to look up everyone else to send them nastygrams. the fact that it’s only 50-55 is depressing.

Be faster to say who didn’t.

Yep. Even the most one sided places in the US, they’re only about 70% one side or the other.

This is why I’m deathly afraid of a “civil” war. It’ll be neighbor on neighbor; at least for the first few days.

He hasn’t been home since the shooting.

Can’t blame him, really. He’s pretty much the most hated person in the state at the moment. Him and the family left, it seems.

Bet that’s gonna end in divorce…

Minnesota, it’s the hicks in the out state. Duluth is a bit mixed, but more progressive than the rural areas surrounding it, and you get up towards Roger’s and suddenly it’s trump country. Same going south, too.

The twin cities and Duluth pretty much makes me blue. (And we’re not as reliably blue as many would care to pretend.)

Generally, state agencies are not allowed to operate outside their respective states. Like they can’t just go to another state and arrest the guy.

If they fled to, say Florida or Texas, and Minnesota wants them they file a warrant and maybe ask the Feebs to execute it; or they ask the state that’s harboring them.

But no one has any particular obligation to do so- especially if, as is the case for trans procedures and affirming care out of state, it’s not a crime in the harboring state.

and sometimes, they still are used appropriately, and still end up with a ruined life.

if the other side has fuck-you money and you don’t have fuck-you money, guess what their strategy is going to be?

More polite than me, that’s for sure.

This is totally going to end well.

Totally.

Greenland is going to be a state now?

Did… anyone ask them…?

You did just help, though.

Ironic.

It isn’t even necessarily a question of who’d win.

You can tell the absolute truth and technically “win” all the defamation lawsuits you want, and still lose.

I wouldn’t mind handing him a very small satchel nuke. That was armed, on a delay just long enough to go into a bunker somewhere.

The loot whores that went in the next day to cut deals had a plan.

Hire PMCs to “keep the peace” while they loot everything they can.

Trump doesn’t play chess.

He plays checkers.

Against pigeons.

Pigeons that can only shit all over the board.

He still loses. Because he is in fact, that dumb.
