A bunch of civil unrest will follow, but it will be unorganized. Things will be a bit crazy for awhile, but eventually most of the demonstrators will be quashed, imprisoned, disappeared, or worse (and Trump regime will want everyone to know and believe the worst is happening). The Trump gestapo (ICE) will have gained training and more funding from the GOP traitors, so that even an organized uprising that may finally be formed will also be easily quashed.

This doesn’t have to be our future. But it’s scary how plausible it feels.

And, when mainstream media periodically interviews republican congressmen who happen to be opposed to the Trump admin’s latest corruption/idiocy, why the hell do they never ask “Since you’re against these illegal/irresponsible actions… what the flying F are you gonna do about it?”

Thanks for the detailed history. That was fun to read, and you landed it perfectly back at the initial site.

Sushi lovers only pretend to like uni to make themselves seem fancier to others.

This measured response feels much healthier than my/our kneejerk reactions. Any prosecutor is going to seek information that would help their case, and they expect the Court to simply say No when it isn’t compatible with the law. It sucks that this Trump admin and retributive DOJ have such an anti-American track record that our initial instinct is that every move is another attempt to suppress criticism (which it likely would be if they had any scintilla of competence to go with their thirst for fascism).

Suppression of anything critical of Trump and the other snowflakes is the goal. Oppression is their favorite tool, but they’ll settle for intimidation which still ends up being effective even when our institutions uphold the Constitution.

I finally left just a couple weeks ago. Seeing and hearing about entire accounts being banned after simple peaceful criticism of political leaders showed me that they use poorly programmed algorithms to issue bans and also confirm them on appeals without any reasonable human elements. It also seemed like some accounts would get perma-banned by simply complaining about this process.

If you want a free quarter, make an online order at Aldi that is large enough for them to load into a cart and also justify you taking the cart out to your car. Return said cart to the cart line and boom free quarter.
