There are already reports that people are committing crimes disguised like this, and I'm starting to think that's part of the strategy.

They know they cheated to get into power, and they don't have nearly the support that they claim to have. They know they don't have enough trained manpower to suppress the national mob that will arise when the Tipping Point happens. By establishing that this is the "uniform" of their "Enforcers," ANYONE can align with them by embracing their ideology, no joining or training necessary.

Eventually, we will have volunteers joining them in their assaults on protesters, zip-tying their neighbors and dropping them off at the local ICE facility, and eventually just organizing their own little ICE Militias, and the government will be just fine with all of that.

Just judging by the cover, my guess is that this album sucks.

This reminds me of the Zebra Mussels in Lake Erie. In the 80s and 90s, invasive Zebra Mussels got into Lake Erie, and started spreading quickly. They would cover the surfaces of everything. They were afraid that they would eventually clog up the water inlet that supply drinking water to the region.

There was a near panic among government leaders for several years, as the mussels grew out of control, and no solution could be found. They even announced a contest with a significant reward if anyone could come up with a solution, but nobody could. So the problem increased.

Lake Erie is the shallowest of the Great Lakes, so pollution and organic matter tends to concentrate there, making it very murky, and impossible to see. But the stuff in the water was food to the Zebra Mussels, and the population kept filtering the water, feeding.

Eventually, the population reached a level that the water was clearing up, allowing the sun to penetrate deeper into the water. It turns out that Zebra Mussels don't like the sun, and between that, and the decreasing amount of food in the water, their breeding slowed significantly. Now they seemed to have reached a good balance. They aren't going away, but they aren't the existential threat that they once were either.

The best news is that since the water is much clearer now, it has caused an increase in scuba diving. Being the shallowest of the Great Lakes, Erie has also known over the centuries as a bad lake to be on in a storm, and there are many shipwrecks on the bottom. They were hard to dive on in the old, dirty water days, but today those wrecks are visible, and attracting diving tourists.

So all they had to do was nothing, and the Zebra Mussels problem fixed itself, and caused a new business segment to boom.

This is going to be the threat that EVERY employee will hear over the next several years, whenever they ask for any sort of a raise, promotion, etc. "Just be glad we don't replace you with AI."

YOU are what's wrong with America, and the world.

When everyone started getting excited about The Cloud, all I could think about was how stupid it was to trust EVERYTHING in your life to some third-party corporation. What could possibly go wrong?

He's just mad because his daughter has a working willie, and he don't.

He doesn't, but he takes advice from trade expert Peter Navarro, who has written many books, crediting the groundbreaking work on trade and tariffs by renowned expert Ron Varo (Navarro).

Yep, Trump's trade expert's best source for information is just making it up himself. It's all just imaginary, wishful thinking. Stupid people think they can just wish their fantasies into reality.

Thanks for asking, I've been wondering, too.

Russia has been continuously at war with America since 1917.

It's a Muslim nation. Ask other Muslim nations, and you'll see similar numbers.

Whatever, still not a country.

Smart. Some people don't know when to quit while they're ahead.

This guy was doomed from the start. He was always going to keep doing this until he failed. If he survived his second attempt, he would have died on his third, or fourth, etc.

I always tell young people, especially young men, that every friend group has that one dangerous guy. He's the one that will hold a firework in his hand, drive like maniac to show off, drink way too much, take weird drugs, etc. Identify that guy early, and watch out for him. Don't let him drive (he's always the first to volunteer), don't encourage his nonsense, and stay far away. He's eventually going to get himself killed, and probably whoever is with him.

RFK, Jr is good example of the type.

Low self-preservation tendencies, but lots of money, is a bad combination. They can afford to get themselves into a lot of trouble.

I've got a good friend from Venezuela who got her citizenship last December. She thinks that makes her safe, but I worry about her. These people don't even respect birthright citizenship, they aren't going to respect new citizens, especially from a nation they've decided to demonize.

Basically, if you were born somewhere else, they want you out.

Palestine isn't a country, or you can bet it would have been on the list.

"I hate that guy!”

Yeah, that thing with the Thai soccer team really opened my eyes. Later, I saw a documentary on the situation, and there was no way that his submarine idea could have worked, it simply would not have fit.

But rather than accept that those on the scene were more knowledgeable about the situation, he immediately jumped to calling the rescuers pedos, as if the only reason they wanted to rescue them was because they were young boys, and wanted to molest them. What an unhinged take, proving that he was more interested in playing the hero and feeding his ego, than actually rescuing anyone. He saw an opportunity for global promotion, and was pissed when it was denied to him.

It showed me a side that we hadn't seen before, but turned out to be his real personality.
