I don’t get it.

Edit: oh, because he looks like Dara. If you soaked him in the tub for a few days.

A punch in his face for each person in his army, yes.

In the US, sooooo many people are still buying them.

The same people still using Twitter I guess. And can’t be added to switch because otherwise how are they going to follow some celebs or some shit; no worries that they’re supporting Hitler.

Jesus fucking christ

You know what? Go fuck yourself.

What would possibly be unclear here

A) there hasn’t really been much of an uptick there overall B) it’d have to be wayyy more wrong than that to have an impact on the direction of things.

You know, I kinda can’t wait for shit to start going wrong on their watch.

Unfortunately, the more bad, the more quickly, the better.

I don’t even see the mental gymnastics. It’s just a stupid lie a stupid liar told.

Yeah that was some really really stupid shit people were saying.

He’s reinstating corrupt officials. He’s piling in sycophants into every corner of the government. He’s declaring he alone has the ability to interpret laws. He’s killing major federal departments. He’s ignoring policy. He’s ignoring court orders. He’s literally calling himself a king.

We are way, way beyond “firing civil servants”, and it is just going to get worse.

I don’t think he will amend the constitution. I think at the moment it doesn’t matter and it will be ignored. We are now actively in the greatest constitutional crisis in American history.

Understand that the shit has gotten very, very real. All this other stuff that we’ve counted on all our lives is gone unless something massive happens REALLY SOON.

They can kill the filibuster at any time.

Also this is assuming that anything Congress does will mean anythibg.

You are making way more assumptions about functioning government than recent trends would predict.

He’s consolidating all power in the executive. All bets are off on anything functioning the way it’s “supposed” to.

I don’t think he’ll bother with amendments.

No we can’t. Nor unless republicans stop universally falling in line.

If we are lucky this is only how bad it will be. I strongly suspect it is going to get much worse before it gets better.

The outright corruption and country-killing isn’t really having that much impact yet, but it will. And just wait for the global economic crisis.

However, if things get bad enough there’s a better chance of people rising up and things changing for the better. Or if things stay sane enough somehow, the midterm elections changing everything.

Well, banned from here now.

They weren’t.

Mostly.

I think the bigger point is that commercial aviation (this case) is VERY different, safety-wise, to the other cases mentiined. Commercial has a ridiculously good safety record. The others have always had a relatively high accident rate, more similar to motorcycles.

Makes sense.
