You can also film them. Doxxing Nazis is a time-tested method, because even in the modern climate, a lot of them do not want to be known as "hey aren't you that guy who was at that neo Nazi march" around the coffee maker at work on Monday.

Don't forget basically keeping the secondhand market prices for Pokemon games high by never rereleasing old games, or making old games available to play on new consoles.

God I miss the Haunted Forest.

The world at large shrugged its shoulders at Rwanda. France literally handed over people under their protection to the Interahamwe, knowing full well they'd be killed on the spot. Belgium actually had soldiers get killed by Rwandan military, and did nothing. The world went to very incredibly great lengths to make sure that they didn't have to get involved until after the genocide was nearly complete.

Let's not forget that he's an explicit Christian Dominionist.

I'll second the last bit. I've got too many friends who bought their houses and they're so insanely worried about "well what if the paint color on the outside makes people not want to buy the house" or whatever. That's (hopefully) a problem that's years and years in the future, and you shouldn't have to worry about it. Don't worry about how other people might see it - it's your house, and you should do things that please you. Always wanted a bright pink bedroom? Go for it.

And this is where Unitary Executive Theory gets you. Trump has been sold on the idea of being a complete autocrat for years now, and we shouldn't be surprised when he acts as an autocrat would.

Average salary metrics are useless in an era of CEOs and executives getting paid millions a year.

And all because none of his actual children give two shits about Apartheid Daddy.

Yeah, this feels like some stupid neo-Nazi or Klan jump-in ritual.

Let's not overshadow the fact that people DO hate us just because they need someone to hate, or because their religion says to, or because their politics says to. Trying to pretty it up or make it "less bad" because they're all secretly gay doesn't help.

Fox and Friends didn't report on it.

When Trump and his team were effectively forced to respond by a deluge of other outlets covering it, Trump literally just got in an interview and said "I never read it". He didn't say he didn't know about it, he didn't say he didn't agree with it, just "I never read it, I don't know what it's about" - which I believe because the guy barely reads anything according to all the sources I can find.

Remember that really ever since 2000, a LARGE amount of voters have checked out entirely. They get their politics third-hand from people who watched Fox or read an article and many don't even do that, just going into a polling station and checking whoever's name they've heard more in the last month or two. They're not even low-information, they're zero-information, and some, like my mother, are even negative-information, digesting objectively untrue facts and regurgitating them onto their personal political canvas (mom got deep into the Qanon panic because "parts of it felt true").

Or else what, now? The threat of military and civilian justice doesn't work well in a system that will almost certainly be rigged to ignore anything illegal that a soldier does in the commission of Trump's orders. The entire indoctrination there relies heavily on the threat of military and DOJ proceedings, and once both of those are pretty well captured, there's really not much. We have a law that says the ICC can't prosecute American soldiers for war crimes - in fact, attempting to do so is considered an act of war.

I don't disagree that a lot of the military won't follow orders at first, but I think when some of them start realizing that their fellow soldiers are getting away with things that would normally be considered criminal, you'll see them starting to turn around on it. Corruption is a cancer and in this case, it's poised to be incredibly aggressive.

Sir, permission to leave the station.

Dammit, I even read it in his fucking voice.

Oh, I know what the ladies like.

Edit: From a different game.

"He's fucked in the head, the world's fucked in the head, and YOU'RE fucked in the head because MY fucked up head is inside it. Guess if you wanna save the world, that's the first step; get fucked in the head."

Might run...tests on the seashells.

Actually, his wife and his friends said they've only seen him actively read one book, which is a book of Hitler's speeches.

It's almost like we should've stuck with electric trains for long haul freight and left OTR hauling for last-mile. Almost like that would've seriously helped the CAA rather than a bunch of half-fixed like this.

I was about to say, didn't we write in a confirmation vote by the Senate as, effectively, a sanity check? To prevent the President from stuffing his Cabinet with toadies and yes-men?
