• I addressed the realpolitik in my last sentence re: black sites.

• You seem to overestimate the acumen of the current members of the praetorian guard, in a way that is out of sync with their recorded performance lately.

• The hypothetical presented has the perpetrator instigating a physical altercation in a moment of passionate rage, whereupon the perpetrator has placed themselves in an unfavorable position from which there is not enough time to avoid consequences.

Whether the Secret Service risks shooting their charge to kill the hypothetical reporter on the spot or does their actual job and throws the sack of lies over the back of a strapping agent is not a part of the hypothetical.

In such a scenario, the victim may be dead, but the perp, does not escape the classical (maladjusted) but natural response to saying shit like what is regularly produced with impunity, to another human being. The elderly perp.

It doesn’t matter how big or tough you are. It does not matter what is legal, what is right or wrong, or any other factor. The victim would be dead, and the perp would be immune.

You’re looking at the whole hypothetical exercise the wrong way. Despite its cathartic construction, it’s not about how big or tough.

The enemy cannot be considered neither overwhelmingly strong nor inconsequentially weak.

To say either one in absolutist terms is to play word games, rather than approaching a fight how it should be approached.

Honest estimation bound to context is required to “Know thy enemy”.

He could be found not guilty due to Presidential action all day long for not committing assault and battery for all I care.

So long as the boxing champ working for AXY news or whatever is also found to have acted in self defense in accordance to their jurisdiction after their reflexive and mighty right hook starts a needed constitutional crisis.

The courts can handle the absurdity.

Not that the presidential immunity is ok at all, far from it.

But there’s a vital distinction between “Can’t be charged for anything while performing Presidential duties” and “Anyone who exercises a legal right that crosses unto the protected person has that legal right deactivated”.

Which…yes, pretty much is defacto currently for 99/100 things that any aggrieved party could claim as a grievance committed by the US. Gov, currently and effectively, I’m aware.

But unstoppable force meeting immovable mouth?

I feel codifying that too deeply would be a legal bridge too far.

Not for decency but because what it means for the puppeteering interests. The reporter would be more at risk of ending in a black site than a courtroom, imo.

It would be even more hilarious than that.

Assuming he couldn’t just TACO and leave the encounter at the first opportunity anyways.

He’d be trying to one-up the exchange but he’s neither smart enough for genuine roasting quips, nor half as crass as an instigator could be.

Just constant sad old man energy “No you’s” while getting dunked on.

Would take him like 30 seconds of genuinely facing vocal opposition he can’t simply pay to have stop, before he folds and completely narcissists-implodes into full body tantrums his physique can’t cash.

Probably one 3AM rant away, maybe two at most.

At least it seems like they might be marginally more materially useful this time around in that it’s not just protesting but actual coordinated attempt to aid increase voter turn out.

Whether or not they’re a box or two behind by focusing on the ballot box…eh, I guess I’ll continue expecting and preparing for the worst but hoping for the best I guess.

🧮📐🦍…So if we assume chud is worth 16B…he’s an investor so…ok let’s assume 4.3ish surging daily…86400 seconds in a day so with the max penalty and the offset…

A $38,816,439 daily bleed. About 25 days to lose a cool billion, not bad.

But some of these rapist dragons have paid that much just to avoid wealth taxes that would about equal that.

Nah, make it bigger. It should hurt him within the week, same as losing a paycheck does to most of us.

No harm done, and I certainly understand a thing or two about failing to communicate myself in a way that is parse-able by others and retains my intent. I understand that all too well.

As for broken arrows: “A Broken Arrow is defined as an unexpected event involving nuclear weapons that result in the accidental launching, firing, detonating, theft, or loss of the weapon.”

The nuclear powers all have way too many embarrassingly stupid ones on record, given that you’d expect nuclear weapons to be the literal most important thing with the literal most stringent procedures for handling.

There was one in NM in the 50s with some limited contamination exposed in the local area, and I thought that’s what you were referring to.

Wikipedia has a neat list of both broken arrows (military accidents) and civilian ones, involving nuclear technology.

The racism is just the lead in for class-ism.

Yes. That is also implied in my comment, under a careful read. The progression is the same and has been there in the US forever.

Their dream model is:

Immigration - > Opposing Ideologies - > Racism -> Ethno state -> Enforced hierarchy on the remaining population

Every single one of those steps are all enforcing class division. There isn’t any other war besides class war.

But the mechanisms the fascist leverages to achieve it don’t include them screaming it out, for obvious reasons.

Racism, is what made the centrist be okay with MLK’s assassination. His beginning to move the message from the racism cover story employed by the system, to the class-division foundations beneath, the reason he was killed.

I’m not entirely sure how to interpret your on fire analogy, except to agree that everything is indeed on fire?

Also pretty sure you’re referring to a broken arrow incident with the AF thing? Yeah, there’s literal and metaphorical nuclear bombs out there waiting for the fire to reach them, I can dig that.

This post is cursed.

Not because of the insane jank, of course. That’s on brand for self host and I love it.

It is cursed because it has awakened something in me, and I can feel every old laptop in my vicinity trembling in fear.

Why the fuck is there even a case?! He proved he’s a natural born citizen!

The case is because they initially did the fascist, and any doing of fascist comes with a free kangaroo show, because…

No court case for him to exonerate himself is needed.

The case is not about him. He’s going to be found to be cleared of any wrongdoing.

What they’re going to do and why the appearance of being benevolent matters to the apparatus is…

The only thing needed is that the fucking clowns who did this be fired and barred from ever working for the federal government again. Hell, they should be the ones locked away, if anything.

… establishing the appearance that they’re the beleaguered good guys and there’s just too many immigrants for basic humanity and common sense procedural adherence.

Because they’ll be found to be in the wrong, they’ll appeal regardless of it landing in one of the shitty or one of the slightly less shitty Federal district courts, and then SCOTUS can expand their qualified immunity to include ruining the life of actual citizens willy-nilly.

Because they’re gonna need carte blanche to make more “mistakes” with deporting citizens as planned all along, as yet another ratchet in the slow build towards open and naked racism.

Gotta have immunity from mistakes when you start your pretext with immigration, before you build up to the triangles and star patches portion on all the undesirables.

I wouldn’t bet against you, that’s for sure.

This whole thing seems like an effort to see who is most needing to be killed first since they’d likely fight back.

They know who that is, roughly speaking. The ID isn’t the issue. They’ve moved fast in many respects.

But they’re chicken shit, and the hobnobbed fascist boots of their grandfather’s too big for the whining children.

That should be evident by the lengths ICE goes to target the least likely to be able to defend themselves and always travel in terrified cliques instead of operationally controlled groups.

And don’t even get me started on the pig farms. Overwhelming strength of materiel is not overwhelming strength of will. Killology doesn’t make warriors, it makes twitchy cowards.

That is why demonizing autistic folks is important to him.

They don’t focus so much on the neurodivergent because of the extreme cases such as complete non-verbal ASD presentation or ADHD so severe the patient needs to be a ward of the state.

Those cases are about as numerous as there are trans people in our society; single digit percentages.

They focus so much on the demonization of the neurodivergent because the grand majority are entirely functional (at the cost of much chafing) within the bullshit societal paradigms as they currently stand…

But wouldn’t be, under the societal paradigms they want, and the functionally neurodivergent are, by definition, somewhat harder to model than a statistically average neurotypical presentation.

They fear the ungovernable.

It absolutely is.

I was gonna block but now I’m curious because the comments and posts it’s made don’t make the goal clear yet.

So time to make a shot drinking game: Troll, PsyOp, Good intentioned but weird social experiment from the good comrades, bad intentioned but weird social experiment from the bad comrades, or Corpo Intrusion?

I love the Fediverse.

She is 100% a foreign asset, heavily influencing the hegemon (can’t claim control over dementia though, and that’s all the schadenfreude we truly get).

Enabled by the simple act of being (insultingly) obviously molded for the role.

Which is leading the figurehead by the “little mushroom”, via superlatively praise ridden word and action.

And you know damn well that the coming of age thing means they roleplay some morally questionable shit during the theater rendition of the Aristocrats.

That’s why you included it on your list, so now you gotta think about it again for making me picture it.

You know how a narcissist parent expects their kids to thank them for everything, even them accomplishing basic milestones of growing up?

Yeah 🤢.
