Small enough to fit in your bedroom, doctors office, and anywhere else you think is private

I mean if it happens he is going to have to pay the Sandy Hook families the money he owes. Dude is still on the hook for a cool billion with 2 trials to go.

This the only political statement I needed to support Swift

Just you wait 2 weeks for him to release it. Its going to be the bestest most amazing healthcare bill by far. Some might even say it will be yuge.

He is running to do what Trump wanted to do in 2016. When he fails to win, and he will, he will pivot his followers into some new media outlet. He may also be angling for a cabinet spot but he probably doesnt fit the mold for that.

I hate giving Trump credit for anything but I think this may be calculated to some extent. He knows his business is toast in NY and knows he was already found liable. His constant back and forth with the court is to get the fine as high as possible. His followers will see it as the courts going after their guy. They will not care he was found liable already because the evidence was so overwhelming the judge even in the most favourable terms saw no chance for him to win the case. All they will see is the judge extracting a huge fine because he is a a NY judge. They will blame Biden or liberals or the deep state. Never the one person that is truely at fault.

This is the same play as Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, and Roger Stone.

True they probably dont care about who the speaker is. But he is now the defacto leader of republicans in governemnt. Ads showing Johnson calling for the criminalization of homosexuality, killing medicare/social security, repealing gay marriage or even walking back no fault divorces will be powerful. Johnson sets the legislative agenda in the house, tying reps to his agenda is what every republican ad did with Nancy Pelosi for god knows how long.

Though i wonder if Johnson is still speaker by next fall. Dude is going to run afoul of someone sooner or later and we will get another motion to vacate

This is a bunch of hot air at best I think. They floated the idea of removing him after the deal he made earlier this year around the debt ceiling. And keep floating it every time they get upset he isnt following the most insane part of the party. The thing is, if they had the votes for a different speaker they would have removed McCarthy already. They dont, they probably dont have enough votes to even remove him, i believe you need a majority to actually remove him. So this just seems like more talk with no ability to do anything.

Trump is 100% the Republican party of today. Maybe you could say he was an outsider in 2015 having little political experience but he is now the face of the party. He is leading in Iowa by 23 points and in national polls by an average of 37 points. Republicans courted the MAGA base for a long time and now that they have control of the party. The Republican party can no more excise Trump and his base than one could cut out their own heart and remain whole.

No way Trump survives in Russia long term. He would have an adoring crowd for a few months, maybe a year. Most likely at the threat of bodily harm more than them liking him. Then the crowds thin because he has outlived his usefulness. A new leader for the party has been found. He cannot golf all the time. He can never return to the states. He likely cannot even leave Russia. Slowly he becomes a shell of the man he once was, yelling “Make America Great Again” into a mirror. Then one day he falls out a window, completely by accident. He tripped on the power cord there, or the CIA did it. Thats best case.

Worst case is Russia doesnt even let him in knowing it would further turn the West against them. Furthering their resolve to support Ukraine. Or worse dragging NATO into the war.

The “blue check” system which was previously used to denote verified users were who they claimed to be suddenly became a complete cash grab for $8 a month, even more for companies to have verified checks or sets of them? Then when not everyone was buying in those users were pushed to the top of replies to users posts. This of course caused tons of people to just get blocked outright because of their checks.

Additionally i believe he has threatened to remove some companies handles because they stopped using them most notably NPR.

Now he has floated the idea of removing the blocking feature because reasons? Who knows what he thinks. So the functionality has not changed a ton, for now, the quality of what you get has gone down.

Oh also he made a specific exception and unbanned some user who posted literal child porn

I dont think it is that simple. Some can probably be tied to education being demonized on one side. So to trust anyone with a degree becomes taboo, even doctors are not to be trusted at this point.

I think most of it comes down to the right wing news outlets saying anyone slightly to the left of them is working with the Christian devil to destroy america. So now your choice becomes not who best runs the country but a choice of good vs evil. Trump despite everything is smart enough to play directly into this with his rhetoric. He is the saviour the right needs to stop literal evil from taking over. How do you argue people out of voting for good? Its only getting worse it feels like.

If I am remembering correctly the only thing needed to get into heaven is to accept Jesus as your saviour and truely believe. Most of these people believe they are saved because they said some words and attend church regularly. They dont know the scripture outside the big ones, John 3:16 and probably the one in Leviticus about not sleeping with another man. Everything else is new to them every time they hear it.

This was your breaking point?

For a guy who ran on “Lock her up” he sure is afraid of being locked up. Like in his mind isnt this how it should work?

Power. Plain and simple.

He did exactly what republicans wanted to do just he kept saying the quiet part loud. Now they are stuck. He is a result of decades of right wing talk radio and tv telling people everyone who disagrees is a satan worshipping pedophile. I fear he wont be the worst though

And yet, he is still not the worst person that was on Newsradio

They chanted “Hang Mike Pence” while invading the capitol. I am surprised he made the stage to begin with. Wondering if anyone bothers attacking him or just lets him be.

If there is a crowd he may get boo’d into oblivion

Really none. The game walks you through rolls and what each thing does.

Having a little knowledge of how D&D works only serves to make the leveling up process go quicker since you have ideas on how to allocate stats or what specialties you take without reading through everything.

I think there is like a 1% chance rate limits were an actual thing. It really feels like someone fucked something up, caused the issue and the “rate limits” were how Elon decided to try and play it. Then “increasing” the limits multiple times to completely illogical values was the system slowly coming back up. Elon increasing that limit makes him look like he is listening to the users and thus the good guy.

I have not seen anyone complain about rate limits since the day it happened. Other than jokes has anyone seen or heard of the issue?

I would say a company suddenly introducing a major policy change like view limits with no warning is beyond stupid but then again it is Elon who seems to believe he is God’s gift to tech.
