So, what needs to happen to these vandals going into all these USG offices, locking people physically out, locking them out of computer systems, connecting unsecured computers to classified systems, etc, is that they need to be arrested & charged with whatever makes sense given their actions.

They have to be convictions! He was only ever convicted in state court in NY.

He's claiming the public owes him money, that you & I & everyone else owes him money, merely for being investigated!

Separately, but relatedly, the Electoral College is a national security risk, too.

Counterintuitively, it's actually extremely safe from intelligence threats.

Unfortunately, so many of his supporters will gladly eat shit if they think it means the rest of us have to smell their breath.

But you're not even considering the on-site brothel!

Or, perhaps more likely, the (shared?) strokemaster 9000 robots?
Rows of automated, hands-free, semen-extracting robots.

Ask her if this means everyone in the regime using Signal is using disappearing messages that aren't being properly retained according to public record laws.

I'd say it's reverting to a state of nature.

The only way to make it impossible for anyone to take away your rights is to say you have no rights to begin with.

It's like saying you want to prevent all forest fires, & then realizing the only way to do it is to clearcut all the forests so there are no forests left to burn.

It's an indirect way of saying there are no recognized rights at all.

Or, more likely, it's a system which doesn't recognize any rights to begin with.

It's not possible for me to take away your non-existent rights.

And, while it was by no means guaranteed, there was at least the potential of making friends. Maybe you meet someone else into the same genre or actor, or randomly see someone wearing a t-shirt for a band you like, see someone cute, whatever.

It was just inherently more social.

Dealing w actual ppl, you can basically filter by anything you can come up w. No guarantees, but you can't even search streaming platforms for things like adventure movie w female protagonist excluding Angelina Jolie.

You can google it, but can't search natively in Netflix, Hulu, etc, for it.

Plus, you could get recommendations from clerks & other patrons.

You could ask a clerk for recommendations, or just browse a section, talk to a random patron also in that section, make recommendations to each other, etc.

Streaming has recommendations, but no transparency behind them.

Ds had to make compromises to get to 60 votes bc *zero Rs would provide even a single vote*, bc *zero Rs would compromise at all*.

Then Rs challenged the law, refused to do the Medicaid expansion, Rs on the bench gutted the law, & Rs in Congress removed the tax penalty.

Democrats did not choose to do less instead doing of more, they chose to do less instead of doing nothing, bc Republicans took doing more off the table.

*Republicans* chose to do less instead of doing more, & then *Republicans* said even that was too much & made it do even less still.

You didn't like any of the primary candidates? Tough! You can't force someone to run against their will, so you can only pick from among those who choose to run. Run yourself, recruit better candidates, or persuade candidates to adopt your positions.

You'll never agree 100% w anyone except yourself
