What’s incredible to me is that they don’t realize that societal collapse will render their resources more or less worthless. Their options are the same as everyone else’s: get a bug out plan, be ready to abandon all belongings, etc. What are you planning to do to keep your bunkers stocked past the first month? How will you pay your security if your banks are gone or your currency is worthless?

Holy shit NBC, do your goddamn jobs. “They’re besties but he did a widdle supplement oopsie doo?” This dude has bragged about plans for using the FBI as political contact killers.

These news rags want these people in office

I just took a look at the list and it looks like a pretty tall order to me. I think the targets are so high profile that there’s a chance that if he goes after even one, it’ll drag out for a long time.

We’re talking about people who currently control pro Republican news networks and stuff like that in some cases. How’s he going to get anything like that done with a wing of Republican propaganda suddenly turning against him?

These networks are a large part of why Republicans escape accountability. Like it or not they have to work within that framework - especially if they decide they don’t want to work within a legal framework. Consent of the governed isn’t negotiable, and while they’ve proven they can get that through propaganda, they haven’t proven they can do without it.

I’m not saying you’re wrong though. I’m just saying if he tries to follow through it’ll be far more of an undertaking than he imagines, and several of those targets could actually sabotage Trump if they thought it were necessary for self preservation.

Far more likely that targets get taken out in accidents, and not anyone on any well known lists.

Yes, I am saying we get played when these things are going on all the time but it only gets reported on when politically expedient for the people who own most of the organizations doing the reporting. I am saying that.

Since I jabbed at you in the other post, I want to hop in and fully agree with you on this one. This is spot on.

“Haha the protests didn’t stop, the media just stopped reporting on them haha!” is the most violent unwitting agreement I’ve seen. You we got played.

Well this is incredibly depressing news thanks for sharing, heaven sent me alcohol too, I guess.

I’m already tired of these “Trump mocked / slammed / blasted / whatever” posts. My God the coming years will be insufferable

It’s really just that there isn’t much point in desperately courting people who do nothing. Over and over again. With no real evidence of anything different ever happening.

If you can’t show up, that’s awful. If you don’t show up, that’s on you. If people notice you don’t show up and plan around you… that’s your fault. You weren’t there. You’ll probably never be. It becomes more sensible, eventually, to work with those who are.

Smugness is blaming them for accepting your intransigence. It’s not anyone else’s fault. It’s just you.

Well… no real loss then, huh?

Regardless, it’s a good idea. How many things worth doing should be thrown out because they’re hard to do?

Yes okay what will they do to us? More nothing? Oh well.

Why would you say something so brave, yet true?

Step 1 is already done, and now institutional resistance from inside the party is the problem. So it is in fact time for step 2, there’s enough of a body of voters to start building it.

The trick is that to subsume the DNC in the next ten years or so, the party has to form a coalition with it for now while remaining separate. That could achieve two goals: first, put a lot of pressure on Republicans they aren’t ready for. Next, create a strong leftward tension that just isn’t represented right now and which the Democrats will be walled off from controlling.

It’s sort of what happened with the Tea Party / MAGA.

These people are all whooshing hard on what you said. They can’t even imagine non-scold comments anymore.

That is exactly what they just said.

Good, eventually. Bad, at first.

It seems that way because I chose to say “you”, which is my bad. I meant it in the broader sense though, most of us are choosing not to sleep with the rest of us, most of the time.

There is no added exclusion to that just because some of us become more firm in refusing to, and give reasons why.

It most certainly doesn’t exclude anyone unless you think someone refusing to have sex with you is an act of exclusion.

Most of all of us are refusing to have sex with you at this very moment.
