I would like to think that if we get to the cancelled elections/confiscating your guns etc. stage, a whole lot of magats would come to their senses and realize they had been conned.

I would like to think that. 

 

if musk / trump / russia is confident that they have a 'firm hold' on 2026 repairs, there's no reason to cancel 

if not, that's where things get interesting. anti trump R's ? conservative D's ? Promise of an impeachment vote ? (very pointless unless there's a huge Senate purge)

So, I am about 45 minutes away from there and never caught measles as a kid and don't have the vaccine. Should I get a vaccination in the event this explodes through the area?

In my experience, swine flu, various flus and Covid always seems to march west from SM/NB. Those fucking cocksuckers.

On NPR a specialist in contagious diseases pronounced measles as the most contagious of them all. If an infected person goes to a closed room, you can expect 90% of the persons inside to catch the disease. Be fucking careful.

This is a very basic idea that isn't all the way true, but you could argue that Nicaragua is voting against the resolution because in theory the United States would be traditionally in favor of the revolution that we are now against.

Recent R town halls I've seen shows people - presumable Rs - getting quite righteously angry at "keep your gubmint hands off my medicare and VA benefits."  So presumably there are some red lines out there.  Would cancelled elections be one?

If everyone was in utopia while he ruled, sure, I think he could pull it off.  They're most certainly not.  OR if everyone was totally fucked preTrump - they were not.  So no, this won't fly.  Too many guns and even the run of the mill R are tiring of his shit.  The 'look over there' gambit works until people feel pain themselves.  The townhalls and social media diarrhea shows they're very much starting to feel it themselves.  And it's not going to get better.  The plan was always to fleece the middle class and poors.  All the other shit is window dressing for the clowns that back him.  Anyways, popcorn on the ready.  I won't need to pull any triggers myself...but if needed, I can afford plenty of munitions for us all.

Oh it doesn't take much.  I'm not putting a target on fat Ted but any uprising would target R leadership - it says right above, many of their own voters would turn into face feasting leopards.  The civil war talk is bullshit and I've said that from the start.  This is the uberwealthy wanna be (not wanna be anymore?) oligarchs vs the masses.

I was just commenting on this last sentence and got cracked up with pictures in my head about what YOU PEOPLE (the Surly collective, excluding your debonairness, of course) might look like with your purchased munitions.

This may not imbed, but at the governor's dinner at the white house last night the military choir sang Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Miserables.

that's a protest song, an appeal for a revolution "by the people" in les mis (1980)

just making sure you are not conflating this with "tomorrow belongs to me", the nazi song from cabaret (1972)

For me big take away is if people don't answer the musk questions we will assume they do not exist and stop paying them.

So we do live in Office Space.

I have a distinct memory of being vaccinated at school for something. Late 70s. It was every kid lined up and someone jabbed something into your arm.

I have zero reservations about any vaccine. When the HPV vaccine came out and insurance would only pay for younger men to get it, I asked the doctor if there was any harm in getting myself as an older, single guy. He said it would only harm my wallet and could possibly offer little to no value. I rolled my sleeve and said go for it.

I was practically in line the day I became eligible for the shingles vaccine. 

Same, except HPV.  I asked my doctor, and he said "you're  GenX, you probably already have HPV..."  He would have given the vaccine to me, but I lol'd, I'm done playing the field. 

Our generation fucks. For better or worse.

I mean if outrage reached a certain level and his poll numbers dropped far enough, eventually impeachment and removal from office would be on the table. But that would probably come after the whole cancellation of elections etc. part. And I'm not sure if we have enough leopards to eat that many faces. 

No brother it's over. We are already in a dictatorship. No one is going to move this guy for two reasons.

1) They are all afraid of him.

2) They won't for the same reasons the MAGA faithful didn't. They don't give a shit because it doesn't affect them. The only thing left to do is cancel elections which they already have we just haven't had it announced yet.

Yeah I get that. Does he mean a collapse in poll numbers? What does that get us?

It would get us fake poll numbers, fake unemployment numbers, fake economic biggly numbers and fake everything else except consumer receipts.

SIAP but I'm afraid that fondness for incorrect apostrophe placement continues from the First Term to the Second and has since spread among the Administration:

 

As Ken White points out in another post, Edward Martin, Jr as the U.S. Attorney is not (supposed to be) the President's attorney but America's...given that Edward Martin Jr seems rather dim, perhaps he's been cribbing with Rudy.

Y'see, I had him going for the easy bags of cash available by going on the fundagelical church speaking tour for the next 6-9 months. During that time, he'd have a ghostwriter pen "Wokeness Wounded Me, But Lord Trump Saved Me: One Man's Journey to Salvation through MAGA" which the GQP would buy 3 million copies of to hand out at their klan  rallies. The book tour would merge nicely w/ non-stop guest appearances on Fox, OAN, Newsmax, etc., where he could publicly fellate dotard. This would last until about the end of the first year of Trump's term so he'd likely be up for a cabinet post by that time since dotard will have begun firing those unqualified losers he'd nominated 12 months ago who didn't have the courage to hold the Constitution to his boil covered butt while wiping his ass with it.

His girlfriend is claiming there was no assault. It sounds like the typical domestic violence excuse "She tripped".

The real fuckery seems to be with how the police report kept getting modified.

Quote

Sarah Raviani confirmed in a statement to CNN that she reached out to law enforcement but she said there was no violence.

“Wednesday, I reached out to law enforcement to address a personal matter. Several factors influenced my decision to involve the authorities,” Raviani said. “While the personal matter in question was emotionally charged, there was no physical altercation.”

Describing her physical and emotional state at the time, Raviani said she was “severely jet-lagged and sleep-deprived” after returning from a 14-hour flight and had been drinking.

“Upon their arrival, they noticed some bruising and marks on my arms, which I explained were the result of medical conditions like eczema and activities from my recent trip to Dubai,” Raviani added.

Raviani also claimed that the situation had been “misrepresented” and has led to “relentless harassment from various sources.”

Great coordination and messaging. Real efficient.

Well Pres says you won't get fired, but maybe you will. The 5 hour Coup.

 

Feb. 24, 7:06 p.m. ESTMusk said “subject to the discretion of the President,” federal workers who did not respond to the check-in email will get another chance to respond, adding failure to do so would result in being fired.

 

Feb. 24, 2 p.m. ESTThe Trump administration informed federal agencies it is now “voluntary” for employees to respond to Musk’s email and they will not be fired if they don’t respond, according to The New York Times, with Politico reporting workers are now directed to defer to their individual agency’s guidance on whether to respond (Musk previously said any non-responses will be treated as resignations).
