“Well, Mr. Smith… I see here that your son used your ID to access illicit materials on the internet. Did you not think to secure it? You realize you’re criminally liable for allowing a minor to access inappropriate material? And I see you were at the government protest last week… such a poor role model you are, Mr. Smith…”

It goes beyond “charitable interpretation” and into magical thinking to argue that it has somehow stabilized.

A paramilitary death squad is “helping out” with security checks for travel, we’re marching right along the path to the end of any premise of privacy or anonymity on the internet, and the Pentagon just threw the press out of the building. And that’s just YESTERDAY.

Is this a time traveling article from like, 2 years ago?

He’s not criminal or anything, but cowards who use precedent as an excuse to avoid responsibility get to go unremembered.

Literally. It was big news.

He mocked someone for trying because he’s WAY, WAY too smart to be fooled by effort that doesn’t IMMEDIATELY magically fix everything.

Luckily all the members are still available and willing to come back to a hostile environment where they are likely to be railroaded or fired again for nonsense reasons, for what is likely lower pay than they’ve found in the interim. All fixed!

Only possible valid defense.

Originally read that as “bioware”.

It’s not a coup until he tries to hang on to power after his constitutionally mandated term is up.

Until then, I don’t care how unpopular his crap is - people PUT him in that office despite OVERWHELMING evidence that this is EXACTLY what we were going to get. It is fascism, but it’s fascism the American people CHOSE. The people who voted for the only way the prevent him have a case for their absolution in this, but absolutely EVERYONE else, including the society that allowed this itself, is culpable. There is no getting away from that.

Nuclear weapons fall pretty solidly in the category of “things that can hurt a narcissist”. Trump is certain he can be protected from conventional attacks. If someone REALLY wants to nuke the president, however, he’d have to get EXTREMELY lucky to avoid it.

People started doing it professionally when the ad money came in. Before that people did it for the love of the content, and it was lower production quality, but better content.

Don’t worry. Those normies are about to cost us the whole open web, and there’s nothing we can do to stop them.

I am so tired of “journalism” that’s just shocked Pikachuing about crap that people already know, and HAVE already known, for YEARS.

It’s either a total waste of time, or people are so thick and oblivious that they don’t know something that’s been staring them DIRECTLY In the face for AGES, and I honestly can’t decide which explanation is more depressing.

No need to brag about it, Dubai.

You can’t trick me. I read Galapagos.

Jealous …I wish I were deleted by creator…

Don’t care. As long as that shit-stain is in power, damage mitigation just plays into his hands.

The US is plagued by a cancer, and there’s no way to excise it without further casualties. The only hope we have is chemotherapy and the hope that when the smoke clears it’s the patient that survives.

Apathetic, moronic accelerationists set us on that path. The consolation is that a bunch of THEM will assuredly suffer too.
