  • Yep, Trump’s got several paths to stealing a dictatorship:

    1. States refuse to certify, leading to lawsuits and eventually the subverted SCOTUS handing Trump their EC votes regardless of what the actual popular vote counts were. (Bush v. Gore 2.0)
    2. The traitorous Trump certifiers sow enough doubt that violence breaks out. (Jan 6 2.0)
    3. States refuse to certify, leading to results being thrown out entirely, neither candidate getting to 270 EC votes, and the election being decided by a “one state, one vote” poll in the House (which Trump would be sure to win because of all the low-population red states).







  • I’m just saying that everybody loves to jump to the conclusion that the reason the US has school shooters when other countries don’t is the 2nd Amendment, disregarding all the other differences that could also be part of the cause.

    Or said another way, there are at least two reasons why school shootings happen: (1) because they have access to guns, and (2) because something is driving them to murderous despair in the first place. Banning guns does fuck-all to fix reason #2!

    Frankly, it disgusts me that so many people see banning guns as some kind of panacea and don’t give a shit about fixing the underlying problems.

    But to take it a bit further, high capacity public infrastructure can go a long way towards improving the lives of low income working people.

    Trains, buses, and subways can eliminate the need to own and maintain a car.

    The real problem is zoning. If the density is high enough (and mixed-use enough), people can just fucking walk places whether you’ve got public transit or not!




  • No, you were responding to someone worried about the time “from November 5 till January 20.” That’s very much inclusive of the vote counting and certification, not subsequent to it. If you’re gonna use pedantry as a petty excuse for bad-faith contrarianism, the least you could do is not fuck it up!

    And “i’M nOt goInG to rEAd iT” – really? What are you, a small child having a tantrum? Quit huffing hopium and whining about being confronted with reality.
