They absolutely do not need Canada for this.

We are living in a post-truth world. The MAGA right do not care about the law, the facts, or even what is right.

They want power. By any means necessary.

FOX and OAN will run pieces about how Musk was born here in the states and was moved to South Africa to help run his emerald mines. They will draw up fake birth certificates, change birth records in hospitals to show he was born on an Army Base in Texas.

They'll even find the doctor that ushered his delivery.

And the Right will eat it up.

The sad thing is Trump has the means to make all of this possible. This is not figurative.

This is the nightmare scenario. And Musk will not let go of power.

According to Trump and many many in the GOP, he was elected three times.

After two years into this term, he will be disqualified twice from running again.

A local grocery store is selling, I kid you not, single eggs for a dollar.

No bulk pricing. One loose egg. $1

Iirc Boaty McBoatface actually won. The people holding the contest quickly learned asking the Internet to name your boat is a bad idea. Just like when Taylor Swift did a survey for folks to name where she should have a concert and the vote was overwhelming at a school for dead children.

But to the boat people's credit, they named one of the life boats Boaty McBoatface.

This is one of the reasons why Lincoln was emphatic that the south had to draw first blood. That allowed him to set the war in motion.

The problem this time is that the fascists are in power and they have their hands on the levers. They are drawing first blood through their laws and executive orders.

At some point, liberals will have to fight back. I fear that more people will die before that happens

My question to Republicans is how the fuck are paid protesters any different than paid lobbyists?!

The way these things normally work is that a staffer makes the call and holds for the President. When all parties are ready, then the phone is passed onto him.

Then again, this is more of a one-on-one with your manager so probably had to stay on the call. Probably multitasked though.

Conservatives pull that out whenever they are about to go against Trump. They think their opinion will have more weight with other conservatives if they sound less political.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

It was never about law and order. It has always been about oppression.
