And yet, on the basis of what we see, clearly isn’t capable of managing the four weeks in office let alone four months.

If he wins, how you do think it would play out?

And yet you’re not supposed to commit light treason, but here we are… Coups work as they change laws/norms along the way

Because he’s ancient and the job is done - to elect a Dictator

As soon as he’s elected, unless I am mistaken, there’s no way for the electorate or anyone else to eject him beyond the 25th amendment and that just puts the VP in power. Maybe he’ll switch Vance for Musk at some future point?

Clearly, I’m no expert here, but there is also clearly no way the Suit-wearing Cheeto is gonna last until the next election cycle and a lot of this will end up at the Supreme Court where we all get royally fucked…

I have a theory that this is by design.

His supporters have shown they’re gonna vote for him either way. If (when?) he gets into power, he’ll be deposed very quickly by his own supporters, leaving that Sock Puppet JD Vance doing whatever Peter Thiel tells him to do.

Not to worry. I’m not so naive as to think that is how it will actually play out.

I’m sure like most things under capitalism, smaller companies will be liable, but we’ll bail out the big guys!

I feel the indecision is really just “I’m not sure if I am ready to identify as a 21st century Nazi or not just yet”

Yes, because nothing says Nottingham more than a mythical figure purportedly from Leicestershire…

Let’s guess which five percent don’t get an increase…

Same. I had a brief pause where I wondered what I was missing all these years as an atheist

I know it’s not, but it looks like the Gardner “expressway” in Downtown Toronto, pretty much any time of day.

 

I was recently gifted an immaculate Apple IIc, but it came without a power supply. I wasn’t able to find a replacement online, and so I am hoping someone with more knowledge than me knows where I may be able to find one?
