Mate, stop getting high and watching Captain Planet reruns. It's unhealthy.

You are talking about folks who are profoundly mentally ill and radiate malice. They might become a Steven Miller, but they could never get elected. It's like the same dill holes who think they are going to get elected ina platform of fascism and then suddenly unmask like muahaha! I've been a secret socialist all along!

And the James Bond villains that would need to support them are fucking morons. Musk is the closest we can come and look at how fucking stupid he is. And useless. He blew half a billion dollars and accomplished nothing.

If these fucking minty-fresh suppositories destroy civilization, it'll be by accident, not part of some Machiavellian plot. Someone will invent a way to transmute oxygen to Bitcoin and it's all over. That's the worst they can do.

    Honestly, I don't see any value in impeaching Trump. Replacing him with JD just lets JD run as incumbent. But destroy everyone around him. Make him a pariah amongst his faithful. Investigate everything. Have them constantly under subpoena. They should live out the rest of their lives giving congressional testimony.

    Include his children. Every toadie. Every staffer. Every appointee. Jared should spend three days a week testifying before Congress about everything from Saudis to who ties his shoes.

    We don't force them to retire at 67, though. There are a lot of morons in the world. I'd put Bernie at 10% decline against most people 40 years younger.

    That said, I doubt he wants the job and I doubt the caucus as a whole would support an independent.

    I'm not down for murdering folks without due process. That being said, if one dispassionately measures the good done vs the harm caused, throwing every billionaire into the sea — even the "good ones" — the math suggests more good would be done then harm. Sometimes it's difficult to reconcile the morality of not murdering them.

    We need a shitload of Luigis to take the moral hit, leaving the rest of us to be innocently outraged. I, for one, would be the first to write a sternly worded online comment.

    You've missed the point, I'm afraid. The bar is someone's individual feed, and the bartender is their blocklist (or their server's federation list) deciding who gets to stay and who is thrown out on their ear.

    You know that adage about how a bar turns into a Nazi bar? (Don't get hung up on the word 'Nazi'. The type of asshole is irrelevant to my point.) The decent ones are just the wedge.

    The fedi-verse is big enough for me without assholes and asshole apologists.
