Maybe, probably. They are going to gamble that they can stay the same because people are/will be so mad about… well everything.
They can prop up a white male moderate with an ounce of charisma, someone that is around 45. People will be refreshed that this candidate speaks in complete sentences and the capacity for empathy – like a real person.
That’s what they want, business as usual sold as a revolutionary idea. Will people buy it? Who knows… groups of people are pretty dumb.
They took him into a room and said “hey, do you want a mountain of legal bribes? If not, we will primary you with that same mountain”
Oh great, this shit again.
Try again on that last sentence.
The government has devices called stingrays that perform a mitm attack granting access to a few types of information, including GPS: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stingray_phone_tracker
Whistleblowers revealed NSA equipment rooms at at&t: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/memoriam-mark-klein-att-whistleblower-about-nsa-mass-spying
Almost every citizen is carrying a tracking device with a powerful microphone, all their communications, and location. It’s a little tinfoil hattish, but I would be willing to bet they can draw a shape on a map and see who was in that area during a certain timeframe.
Leave your phone home if you are attending any events that the government might not like.
Yeah, Putin continues to win elections in his country by a landslide. We’ll have those.
Old people don’t fuck around when it comes to their money.

Walz is likable and has that working class appeal, but his debate performance wasn’t great. I’d vote for him, but I don’t think he’ll make it through the primaries. I’d much rather have Pete Buttigieg personally.
If the working class gets hurt and loses the literal farm, I’m sure Trump’s buddies will be ready to swoop in and buy up all the farmland.

As the hyenas pick at the corpse of the once proud United States, they occasionally snap at each other.
The birthday paradox comes to mind.

Unless someone can prove some malicious intent, I think it is just as valid of a birthday as any other day.
*Hey look, this guy brought a rifle to a drone fight. *
Love Bill. The Monday morning podcast got me through the pandemic.
After an onslaught of bad news it’s novel to see something positive happening.
I killed Instagram and Whatsapp recently when Mark started buddying up to Trump.
Deleted Twitter shortly after Elon took over, which bummed me out since it was a good place for software development information.
Quit reddit after the API ordeal when I didn’t want to use the official client.
I was a long time user of each platform, and I was bummed when I had to leave each.
Now I have bluesky, lemmy, mastodon, and some occasional discord servers I hangout on. I miss Instagram as a time waster, but I’ll survive without funny dog videos and fitness models.
Yeah I don’t have high hopes for our institutions, and I’m probably in a strong state of denial. I just want something to hold out for.
Best case: Put out a warrant for their arrest. Step two, wait for the doj to not do their job. Raise hell about it, hopefully American citizens still care, get Congress to do their job, impeach the president (again)
That’s all predicated on citizens knowing enough about how the government is supposed to work to be outraged.
They have to try though.
These people are supposed to be representing their constituents; it isn’t supposed to be an episode of Jerry Springer. I’m surprised they aren’t literally throwing chairs.
Probably try to get my identity back. I’m not trying to escape anything currently, and not having documentation is a dangerous thing in the world these days.
