Yeah the Saudi regime is evil and one of the features of my ideal world is “enough solar batteries and wind farms that we don’t have to deal with them anymore.” But uhhh, Trump is not their fault.

You know, "Refusing to pay the troops, signaling that you intend to keep the government shut down indefinitely, and then trying to fight a trade war you literally cannot fight with the government shut down" is the stuff regimes do when they're pretty deep in a death spiral.

“The T-600s had rubber skin. Bright, day glo green coloring. We spotted them easy. But these are new. They look like frogs. Slime, realistic croaking, everything. Very hard to spot. I had to wait til he moved on you before I could zero him.”

2025. Even then there were barely any stores left. even though the worst had not yet come to pass, antifa supersoldiers already ravaged the land, clad in inflatable frog suits. all I can remember from those days - frogs, fire, and ash

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

At this point I’m just wondering when and how they’ll climb down. It seem like “threaten absurd China tariffs, then put them “on pause” for x months at the last minute” is a repeating cycle with these people.

Yeah that doesn’t sound like a bad strategy, actually.

It’s because the Trumpists are a bunch of weirdos who for some reason are emotionally invested in the idea that electricity comes from natural gas.

19 BBY: Supreme Chancellor Esmé Palpatine (Jedi Councilor, ret.) ends the Clone Wars before they begin by talking Count Dooku back to the light, ending a short but well regarded political career by enacting reforms that allow her troubled young protégé to pursue his relationship openly.

ellie lockhart (she/they) @eleanor.lockhart.contact · 2d

I think that’s a legitimate good timeline that could happen, it’s likely that Palpatine was a pretty decent person who was corrupted the same way Anakin was

If I had to guess, his parents had political connections and didn’t wanna lose their kid. I *kinda* remember from the Darth Plagueis book that his dad was really concerned with having an heir.

AU Where Sheev is raised by better people, the Republic never falls, and Senator Palpatine is Naboo’s first openly trans senator.

Canon establishes Palpatine would use she/her, because he specifically says he plans to be “Empress”

You know a lot of people are telling me, Mr. President the ribbon around your neck is the most beautiful I’ve ever seen but we never see you without it. They’re saying we need to know, we deserve to know what you look like without it. It’s true. But I’m not gonna take it off. Maybe I’ll take it off
