It's entirely rational when you're building a cult, to only bring in the most loyal to your control structure.

They were on the phone with bankruptcy lawyers before dawn. That is the ones that didn't just disappear into hiding.

What I said is what got Clinton, Obama, and Biden elected. Not saying it's a great thing, it's just reality. Neither party has the base to win on their own, the GoP is a lot closer to being able to do it due to voter turn out rates. So they either chase the middle, or demonize their opponent to get more of their base off the couch.

Why the fuck do we always aim for “slightly better than the Republicans”?

Two party voting. In order to win, you have to get voters that are as close to your opponent as possible, without your base staying home in protest. Having a more objectionable opponent just means you can ignore your own base even more, because they're not going to stay home when that means the other asshole might win.

She could save us all a lot of time if she just told us what cheating exactly would be prosecuted. That way we'll know what to indict her and Trump for.

I heard Hawaii, but that could be completely wrong.

Primaries are the place for protest votes. You want to send a message, send it now in the primary.

Come general election, it's time to shut up and protect the country.

He only has to put up the money if he wants to pause judgement during the appeal. He's going to refuse to pay until the appeal fails, then appeal it again, daring the AG to seize his companies.

Already moved on to a boat, I'll either be staging to leave, or already out of the country, when the election is decided. Depending on the results I'll be back in the spring, or not.

She can't pardon the state crimes. That would take a governor.

That's all this is really, the prison lobby getting their slaves back.

Pretty sure it's a campaign message. Throw lots of 'oh look Taylor is destroying the environment with her jet' noise around the interwebs to try and discredit her voice against Trump. It's a PR campaign designed by toddlers.

Now I'm feeling called out. I keep having these stacks of if statements that could just be a big ass list of and and and, but then it runs into the debate of how much crap should be in one line of code? Especially knowing, at some point, it's going to be my dumb ass stepping through trying to figure out why this one edge case is the reason we're not hitting the inner code.

I love Nic for making movies I'd love to actually see, except for the fact that he's in them.

So basically remaking every movie starring Nicolas Cage?

They broke into shit that had already been broken in to, and removed an intrusion. That's literally their job.

Doesn't matter if it was a perfect replay of an exact recording of the weapon they expected to be facing. He emptied a clip into an unknown target with no visual confirmation.

And if leading a riot into the capital to overturn an election counts as insurrection, then anyone could be taken off the ballet!

It's about time someone did. War is just violent economics. Taking away Putin's income will cost him the war faster than killing Russians.

I suspect those numbers had something to do with the sanctions he just dropped on Israeli settlers. Although I'm honestly surprised it's that large of a population to be worth going after. Then again, there's not a lot of undecided to chase in Michigan, so you gotta go where the voters are.
