If Smith is still there when Trump is coronated, everything about those cases is immediately black-holed. Theoretically, if Smith folds early, he can release everything he’s done to the public.

He might, or he might not. But if Trump fires him, he won’t have control of the information any longer.

there’s value in making authoritarians be authoritarian.

Why? It’s not like Trump is an unknown quantity at this point. They knew what he was when they voted for him, after all his previous authoritarian remarks- being even more open about it isn’t going to change any minds.

Esperanza Robles, a first-time voter from Reno, Nev., says she voted for Donald Trump because “the things he stands for are better than the things that Kamala stands for.”

What things? Be specific.

We’re all going to get what they deserve.

Yes there will, because you missed what he was saying about “wet-bulb” events.

If you wrap a wet cloth around a thermometer, and place it in air that has less than 100% relative humidity, the thermometer will read a lower temperature than an equivalent one without a wet cloth. This is because the evaporation of water wicks heat away from the thermometer; the lower the RH the faster the water will evaporate the heat from the thermometer and thus the lower the temperature will read. This is called the “wet-bulb temperature” and is how the human body cools itself when you sweat.

However, when the RH is 100% the wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperatures are the same, and the human body stops being able to cool itself by evaporation (since your sweat won’t evaporate because the air can’t hold any more moisture). In fact, thanks to physics not giving a fuck about how conservatives feel, there’s a point - thought to be above a wet-bulb temperature of 35 degrees C - where your body works in reverse and starts absorbing exterior heat.

This is fatal to the human.

The point is, the higher the RH, the less effective sweating is to cool humans down. Now what do you think will happen when people in equatorial regions- areas that have high humidity and temperatures to start with- see those temps go even higher thanks to climate change? They won’t have any choice but to move to higher latitudes, because just being outside for long periods of time will be lethal as their bodies slowly cook themselves.

We are watching Nero burn Rome.

Watching? Hell, a third of us fucking gave Nero a match while spraying the city with gasoline, and another third said “You know, I do like s’mores…”

Find any state where Conservatives have been in charge for two decades or more and you’ll have your answer.

It doesn’t matter what you call them, they’ll take that and wear it proudly. They have to publicly swear their allegiance to the in-group.

Hillary was right to call them deplorables.

Biden was right to call them garbage.

Godwin was right to call them Nazis.

Everyone was right to call them fascists.

They do not care.

Alternatively, hundreds of thousands of Americans died because they thought owning other human beings was morally wrong.

It was ~67% of eligible voters that were registered to vote. Over 94% of registered voters actually voted.

French Guiana.

Moving closer to the equator is likely to be a bad time in the near future, what with climate change and all.

WKYT is calling Amendment 2 as a No, with a 30 point margin.

Not having RCV doesn’t make anything worse.

Promoting third-parties without RCV in place does.

Like when Palpatine was laying at the feet of Mace Windu, knowing he was at the culmination of his plans and he just needed to see which way Anakin would swing…

I blame SCOTUS for this. They’ve signaled they are going after regulatory agencies, so the American oligarchy sees this as their chance to finally remove their various businesses from any accountability or oversight. Just look at how hard they’re going after Lina Khan- in fact, when was the last time you could name an FTC commissioner off the top of your head?

We’re in the middle of the Business Plot 2, and they’re spending billions to neuter the government’s ability to stop them.

Bruh, you keep correcting me and you’re gonna get cooked!

The fact that you only ever hear of third parties every four years really illustrates what their true objectives are.

And fuck Andrew Bailey too.

I want to go back to a time when I couldn’t name a single state AG from a state I didn’t live in, because they weren’t doing shitty vice-signalling stunts all the god damned time.

Threaten to use their slang, knowing that no matter how you use it, you’ll use it incorrectly?

“If you don’t go vote, you’re a skibidi!”

Of course they are sleeping soundly. They’d literally be marching into the camps convinced they did the right thing.
