Yeah, won’t this effectively result in de-facto unlimited campaign contributions, if not outright electioneering? Churches are often polling places for elections.

Hope an Android version comes out, too.

I think it’s just a WWE match at this point. They’ll have a dramatic fight with some fake blows, and then go pick up their paychecks. They might even go hang out if there’s not actually any bad blood between them. They’re pretty much coworkers at this point. They might have real personal conflicts, but I doubt they’ll actually air those grievances with their customers. Too many skeletons, as others have said.

In this scenario, the upstairs neighbor is a millipede. Several shoes have dropped. Many more will follow.

It doesn’t matter. Even if you deliberately attempted to manipulate him into a relationship, knowing full well he was 33, he would still be the predator. Tell Professor Humbert he can fuck off with that Lolita shit.

Ask and ye shall receive:

Yeah, she married and dated them. What worse harm is there?

Thanks for adding context and hard evidence to the discussion. Fuck them twice as much for doing it this way. It’s the same amount of sabotage and half the accountability.

I think that’s exactly it. A worst-case scenario for the beneficiaries of that parade would be a completely deserted area with tumbleweeds blowing across the street.

All bets are off at this point, but the “No Kings” event planners have made a point of avoiding that by steering things away from the fascist birthday cabaret performance scheduled for the same date in DC.

It will be a showcase one way or the other.

“US prepares for appropriate response to especially egregious acts.”

Does Lemmy have a remind me bot? I’d love to revisit this at midterms.

I guess that’s what I’m asking. Are the fascists going to stage an election, use an emergency to justify skipping it, or will there be something else entirely?

What do think the conservative agenda will be next term? A candidate masquerading as a moderate liberal, a manufactured emergency that disrupts elections, or something else?

Thanks! I’ve been trying to use my absurdist tendencies for chaotic good lately.

Amen, fellow MAGA! Let’s also block his ability to fund the Dems with a campaign finance reform amendment! Then, when we really have Musk on the ropes, we’ll hit him with a one-two punch, overturning citizens united and codifying the fairness doctrine into law. If he thinks he can steal the next election, he’s got another thing coming! We’ll slam him by replacing the electoral college with a ranked choice voting (or other better) system! He’ll never know what hit him!

[Me, to myself]: “God, I hope this works.”

I was just joking around. I can’t imagine that the public would tolerate, much less be fooled by, such transparent and sloppy manipulation. That would be like the US President selling crypto, or promoting a brand of cars, or selling access to himself. I just don’t see that happening.

This is the way. Attention-seeking, authoritarian, narcissistic, maniacs can’t stand firm non-participation.

“Lead, follow, or get out of the way.”

“No. Fuck off Karen. I was here first.”
