Could happen.

I liked how it portrayed the reality that all the people involved are doing things where they might not react in time to very incomplete information. In other words, they aren't all sitting in a room with worldwide communications waiting for a missile to launch. Big problem for nuclear deterrence.

Seems like this fascist/not-fascist argument is more about current state vs process. Trump/MAGA wants fascism but hasn't yet gotten all the way there yet and may not (let's hope).

I agree with the urge but I worry it will continue a tit-for-tat partisan attacks. Better that we patch up the laws on how and by whom the White House can be modified and then run the ballroom through it. Dems have to prove that the GOP are the ones weaponizing government against the other party.

Once Trum is gone, the incoming administration should convert the ballroom into an immigration processing center.

Local police departments and other groups need to get ahead of this now. It's clearly a dry run for the 2026 and 2028 elections. Let it be a dry run also for those who oppose this administration's attempt to interfere with elections.

Attracts tens of thousands of what exactly?

Paul Topping @paultopping.bsky.social · 1d

We will know when we have a secret police when opponents of the administration start dying under mysterious circumstances (falling out of windows, poison, etc).

Someone should make this into a movie.

I'm thinking Trump's $230M demand works even if he never gets the money. It is yet another way he can falsely claim to his idiot followers that he won those cases and it was all just Dems out to get him. I can almost hear those chumps: "Why would he ask for the money if he didn't win those cases?"

And I know the perfect name for your sandwich shop: Sandwiches You Will Like. Also the title of a great little PBS show from 2002:

Does MAGA really like it? Sure, they rubber-stamp anything Trump says or wants but, on the other hand, they thought he was going to help out the little guy and, instea, this is Trump helping himself out.

I take back all those retweets then.

Bob was my neighbor and he completely deserved it.

A lot of people are going to die enjoying these newly discovered "freedoms".

When you lie about something, you don't have to understand it. First rule of MAGA.

Just an opportunity for Pete to go on Fox News and explain what really happened.

Paul Topping @paultopping.bsky.social · 4d

Sure they have immunity. Trump can promise them pardons.

Seems like Putin and Trump have a Magic 8-Ball that they shake in order to come up with this week's gaslight to throw out to the American people on Ukraine.

Paul Topping @paultopping.bsky.social · 4d

I thought you were talking about Trump for a second there.

Along with a law that prevents any structural or landscaping changes without the people's permission. It's our house!

Paul Topping @paultopping.bsky.social · 5d

Who better?

Cynicism is not not a sign of intelligence.

Paul Topping @paultopping.bsky.social · 5d

I'll bet they will still want to give it a shot. It's the process they enjoy, not the result.

Paul Topping @paultopping.bsky.social · 5d

I'm skeptical. Even if they pass such a law, this administration and its pathetic GOP will ignore it. Perhaps one way to get it passed is to remind Republicans that only Democrats will follow it.
