Personally, I prefer Bernie as the main - we need as many years of progressive presidencies as possible. Having 8 of them with him as the lead, and another 8 of AOC, would be a good start to reforming America. Odds are, though, we will simply have AOC replace Bernie during one of his terms. VPs are meant to be backups for when a president isn’t able to hold office anymore.

I hope whoever holds the nuclear briefcase goes to grounds in California or the EU.

I propose “K”, as in “Krasnov”, or “KKKonservative”.

I sure hope so.

MasterVisa are run by christofascists. They are really problematic in the adult media sector, denying services to websites unless they adhere to certain restrictions or depictions. For example, no minotaur sex in Seeds of Chaos. Considering the nature of the Trump Regime, you can expect vanilla stuff like gay podcasts to eventually be fully subjected to censorship. The grasping arm of “American” oligarch sensibilities will reach for Europe’s people.

For the liberty of everyone, we need payment processors who are disinterested in dictating the culture of their users.

I would do the same, but that is because I have developed my own ethical compass that defies Yahweh’s authority. In Trump’s case, it is because he is an utterly evil fucker, beholden to no being beyond himself.

This is what governors and agency heads should be doing. Complying in advance only encourages the bully.

The obvious answer is to autopilot into ICE and Trump Regime officials. Elon pays the fine, the world is ridden of MAGATs, and one less Tesla on the road. D, D, D.

/s.

Honestly, I think a person in either nation should consider using the opposing nation’s stuff. Harder for the US to backdoor Chinese encryption, or for Chinese to backdoor into an American phone. Play the bastards off each other.

Odds are, that the Trump Regime will use American apps and phones to identify and track targets for ICE traffickers. China probably does the same to Uighurs. The less attack surfaces they have, the better for their respective peoples.

Komodo hunt by biting a limb, then waiting for the target to die from infected wounds after several days. No restful sleep for RFK, not until the moment is nigh.

Ah. Healthcare denied to ICE enforcers. I am alright with that.

Went through my picture archives, just because of the OP picture. Sad thing is, I would trust a Ferengi more than the Trump Regime to be fiscally responsible.

Funny thing about wildfires: the ashes allow a new generation of flora to take root. It will suck for us, but the children of tomorrow might have unions, vacations, and universal healthcare by default.

I can dream of a future, even if it won’t be mine to enjoy.

I would raise a rootbeer to that.

I wouldn’t mind celebrating Bastille Day. Krasnov can be the centerpiece of the occasion. CHOP

I am using a portion of my savings to prepare before things run dry. Some extra food, but mostly renovations or big ticket items. New sink and a bidet toilet, my first ever smartphone, physical cash in the form of Euros, a 24tb drive to prep for replacing my Windows OS with Linux, a gun club membership and ammo, ect.

Before Trump was a thing, I was planning on just sitting on my life savings and let it grow, only touching it when I hit 60 or 70. That is out the window, since odds are that Trump’s regime will kill me for being an progressive autistic. Fun times. 😩

McDonald’s is a real estate business, that just happens to specialize in generic burgers as a brand. It isn’t a surprise that the company doesn’t care about a quality dining experience, when repairing icecream machines was a money maker for them.

This is the kind of BS that leads to you being unable to buy warm food with food programs. A box of fried or baked chicken costs $26 for 24 pieces, which can feed me for 2-3 days, saving me money in the long run. A hot pizza is $13. A rotisserie from CostCo is about $6.

People should make the decisions about their food stamps, because they are familiar with how to best feed themselves. Your typical WalMart employee has to rely on food stamps and other benefits, because WalMart doesn’t want to pay a living wage. An initiative like RFK’s is designed to punish the poor for failing to be born with a silver spoon.

This isn’t about helping people to make better decisions, it is about depriving them the good things in life.

Definitely not trivial to do. You need to use GPU passthrough to allow a VM to have a GPU, which requires manually figuring out a whole bunch of PCI addresses, among other technical things. If you fear the terminal, you will have a bad time.

You summoned the bear.
