I'd throw a party.

So, one guy is going to go around arresting top officials of a dictatorship?

It's helpful to point out to people that following established rules doesn't work when the people in power disregard them with impunity.

There's not going to be a legal or political uno reverse card that will stop what's happening. The only established mechanism that still exists to get us out of this is if the military does its duty and protects us from the domestic threat to the constitution.

But, with Trump replacing the joint chiefs and top JAG members, I'm not betting on that happening.

People need to stop living in the fantasy of, "we just have to wait it out for 2-4 years."

Who enforces those subpoenas? Who enforces the contempt charges? Trump is in charge of all of the enforcement mechanisms.

There will be no end of the term. Fascism doesn't just step aside when it's term ends.

Why do you think flipping the house matters? We're living in a dictatorship.

We need a tax on unrealized gains over a certain amount (as to not screw the 99%).

I think the existing telecoms tied them up in mountains of legal bullshit.

It really depends on if production can scale.

It's kind of cheating, but [Popplagið] by Sigur Rós. I'd argue that the vocals in it are instrumental, since they're in a made-up language consisting of gibberish words.

I legit want this for reviewing logs.

Just a friendly correction, it's affected, not effected. Affected is a verb (which is how I remember).

 

Their pay comes from taxes.
