  • I've thought about it. They wouldn't have me, but even if they would, if you swim in the shit, you get it all over you. At some point you would have to do something truly terrible or blow your cover and quit.

    If you stay you will have to keep doing terrible things. Shindlers list is a tragedy and part of it was that Shindler was part of the machine.

  • "every one of them will lose their next primary, and Dems will control Congress for decades."

    Your optimism is blinding. The Dems will control Congress for 2 years, maybe 4. 6 at the absolute maximum. Your average Republican can watch their loved ones die because of Republican policies and blame Democrats 2 years later.

    Also democrats won't do anything to make structural change in the economy or wealth of the country, so even if given the reins of power, they will only succeed at not actively making life worse.

  • Democrats will not stop this. They had their chance and did nothing.

    It's up to us to save ourselves.

  • What are they supposed to do? Kill trump? I guess they could take out the supreme Court while they are rampaging. This isn't an Arnold Shwartzenegger movie.

    They shut down the government. The absolute nuclear option. They used the last bit of power our government affords them.

    The rest is on us.

  • Judge issues the most reasonable requirement in law enforcement "this act of extreme judicial activism will not stand!"

    Hopeing the judge starts issuing arrest warrants. She won't, but some time behind bars would finally be some consequences.

  • Only an absolute collapse in support for the GOP will affect them. The SCOTUS is going to rule against section 2 of the voting rights act and then southern states are going to jerrymander another 12 seats away from the Dems. That's not insurmountable, but they will need a national lead of 6% in the popular vote just to break even.

  • Accepting? That exactly the person they want. Someone who will follow orders no matter how heinous.

  • That's possible, very optimistic, but hey, good luck to us.

  • Eventually is doing some heavy lifting. The costs of these data centers and the power plants to run them has to come from somewhere.

    I don't know if or when the chickens come home to roost, but it could go badly for the US and China to find out their spent trillions to make a million versions of AI shrimp Jesus.

  • This is the answer. ICE is operating by the same rules the Ferguson police were during the 2014 riots, and the George Floyd protests in 2020. They can do whatever the my want up to and including break your door down in the middle of the night and shoot you while you sleep like they did to Breyonna Taylor.

  • The beatings I will continue until the truth gets through.

  • Using guns to move people into the chambers was less traumatic than lining them against the wall and shooting them.

  • Fair.

  • Most teachers are women that do not need to worry about wiping a hairy ass. If school was taunt by men or nurses that wipe adult asses it would get mentioned.

    Probably

  • There is wide latitude between Kim Jong Un and Putin. Between Putin and Mao.

    It can get better or worse and that will always be true.

  • I go for walks/runs after dark due to scheduling but I take 2 months off during the summer because 90+ degrees is too hot for serious exercise.

  • This is true.

  • I would need a whole different city. Most days here if I spend 30 minutes outside in the shade I am a sweaty mess.

    There are some employers where I could shower on premise, but not most. And most of the places I've lived a bike ride would be 1-6 hours. I think I lived half and hours bike ride from work maybe 1 year of the past 10.

  • The genocide ended with the victory of the rebels led by Kagame. They were mostly Tutsis.

    The armed Tutsis did indeed hit back.
