I would hope for a fleet of hearses to follow him around.

What are the other 5 going to do when transporting him?

Be happy they aren’t the one who pulled the short straw that day.

he’s going to be the angry old demetia patient lashing out at everyone for his problems, real or imagined

He has been doing that for several years already.

setting up a scapegoat to step down as president “I’m too sick to be president” as soon as he passes the 2 year mark, so JD Vance can take over

Fortunately Vance has the personality of a wet couch cushion and won’t likely be able to motivate the MAGA cultists.

In previous wars (and coups and other military interventions) the communication infrastructure has always been a target.

Phone systems and broadcasters have always been aware that they’re among the first things an attacking enemy would target.

It’s not Zelensky who is the problem.

I wasn’t suggesting that he is.

What truce? Nobody in Ukraine or Russia negotiated a truce.

Zelinsky has to walk a delicate line. He knows that Trump is a lying blowhard who can’t be trusted, but he also has to make sure he maintains international support.

Threats are still threats.

Don’t like the blowback, maybe don’t threaten people all the time.

there is simply no social media platform that will allow us to organize

MLK didn’t need a social media platform.

Go talk to people in the real world.

have you picked up and read a Bible?

The things full of contradictions. It’s a horrible book to claim to base your morality on.

You speak as if half Americans did not actually vote for Trump

Closer to a third.

Another full third couldn’t be bothered to get off their asses and vote at all.

Make Fragging Great Again

So, after that song rose in popularity, phone companies de-registered it entirely

In my area code, the number was intentinally bought by a local guy who runs a small ISP. He has it connected to an answering machine that plays the song.

Where I live that goes to a working number that plays a recording of the song.

Apparently it’s owned by a guy who runs a small ISP who did it just for the lulz.

Appearing secure is MUCH more effective than actually being secure.

Cheaper too.

And my companion is Anne Uumellmahaye

I do occationally, especially if it’s a new cashier who is still worried about pleasing the boss.

My usual workaround is:

First name: cash

Last name: sale

not even Starbucks needs to know your name. You should get an order number/code like everywhere else.

I’m standing right here, I’m the only customer in the place right now - you don’t need my name.

try to get them to shout something ridiculous, unpronounceable

I’ve always been partial to Heywood Jablomi

However, some stores I’ve gone to, lately they want a bit of customer information for their database if you’re a first-timer

Hair slons are the worst for that in my experience.

One place wouldn’t let me past the front counter unless I gave them my phone number and email.

I walked out and got my hair cut somewhere else.
