No no… they take the bribes AFTER ruling in their favor. Total Legal now. They decided it was.

Both. Within the last week.

They’re altering the fabric of our rule of law to protect Trump. Bribery? It’s cool as long as it’s AFTER the politician carries out the request. President does anything illegal (including killing a political rival (sorry, Traitor!) or selling state secrets to Russia for example… as long as it’s “official” (and SCOTUS rules what is and isn’t “official”) - it’s all good.

If Trump wins we are one Reichstag Fire away from a complete fascist dictatorship and frankly it may not even take that. Trump already “liked” a couple of posts suggesting military tribunals and firing squads for Biden, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and anyone else he finds disloyal or having persecuted him… And he’s said he’ll be a dictator on day one. If someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Nextcloud needs to port over some of the old OC Documentation. Their own docs make all kinds of references and it’s always something esoteric.

Russia already has him.

Speaking of saber rattling, I found this quote mildly amusing:

The flex notably comes amid persistent tensions with Russia, which has been rattling the nuclear saber lately

“lately”? I mean, if you’re saying repetetive nuclear threats for 2 years + since starting a war with Ukraine, then sure?

Not singing loud enough - straight to jail.

Surprisingly, singing too loud? Also straight to jail.

If you are a cis-het white who at least publicly proclaims belief in Jesus, you should be fine. For eveyone else, they’ll start with those who have the least power and keep coming for the next out-group on the ladder… and they’ll use anyone they can convince along the ladder to kick off those on a lower rung.

Let’s see, illegal immigrants, homeless, drug addicts, trans, gay, muslim, atheist, brown, jewish - appologies if sure if I left anyone out. You may disagree with the order, but I might not be far off.

Imagine having $700 million, having almost no responsibility, and still being that much of a putz.

We need someone to ask him how he’d like to die like that boat electricution vs. shark question: “How would you rather die? Drink bleach or inject it?”

Am in Illinois today. Can confirm, nothing destroyed and certainly not disintegrated.

then shalt thou count to three…

I remember how frequent “legislating from the bench” came up on the news - Is the GOP up in arms about this one?

Not an excuse… but unironically this is why so many rural States are Red. Lack of opportunity and the only hope is in religion. Addressing very real existential erosion of their livelihoods and economic fears would go a long way toward avoiding a civil war. Which another Trump presidency might just bring about…to the Russian’s joy, having set the wheels in motion decades ago.

In all seriousness - can we crowd fund this purchase and make it immediately public?

The salt-water of life!

Huge swaths of companies have ditched VMWare entirely due to their enshitification. Anyone still licesning already has a plan to transion away. I’ve only heard of extreme corner cases staying because whatever it was supporting was end of life anyway. Fuck em.

Sorry to say, but this one goes well beyond the current fuckery of the existing Stock Market.

This is the biggest money laundering scheme ever run in public view. The only thing propping up any price for Truth SOcial are those with a vested interest in paying off The Donald and putting the GOP in power; Saudia Arabia and Russia - with just a splash of China. Follow the money.

You would be wrong. Compounding is an absolute beast. It’s nearly a Million. Let’s say you are 25 and just starting out. You manage to put in $1000 a year and get the $1000 credit. Let’s say you do this exact same thing until you are 65. You invest it in the S&P500 Index which historically returns ~10% annually…

Balance at 65: $929,444

How much? Asking for a friend.
