Nah you just do it and you go over and you add her to the computer systems and you say anybody standing in your way is going to tried for treason. If they won't seat a legitimately elected member of Congress then this entire thing is a farce anyways.

A judge would be good but if not, just do it. I didn't say follow the law. Just do the ceremony and say she is sworn in and have her start showing up as though she were sworn in. Challenge them, force them to say why they aren't swearing her in. Force them to fight it.

They should just swear her in on behalf of the Speaker since he is apparently incapable of doing the job. Not like rules matter anyways.

Yeah I was thinking of the voice as being AI generated so you can have a catalog of hundreds of actors and actresses to choose from for your protagonist. I suppose at that point you generate the whole thing but my idea might be easier. Hopefully guilds keep airtight AI controls in their contracts.

This just gave me the sudden horrifying clarity that at some point in the not too distant future they are going to try to sell us on movies where you get to pick some of the actors when you watch it and they use AI to digitally replace someone in a mocap suit.

oh *that's* why they made that AI that can replace him with marilyn monroe

Children's music and books would really lead you to believe we invest a lot more in mass transit than we do.

Unironically a good thing. The more ridiculous but harmless things Trump publicly like that the better it is for any resistance movement.

I'm about 90% sure that if Obama had done that he would have been the first President removed from office after being impeached.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Not "the internet" just Twitter. So called journalists learned they can just sit on Twitter to farm stories without doing any work so now every story they publish is essentially just press releases from Nazis.

Can the Times et al actually explain their coverage priorities, even internally? How is it that any hint of denigration of Americans by a Dem is front-page news, but the president publishing video in which he calls himself "King Trump" and flies a plane dumping sewage on Americans' heads NOT news?

Must be wild knowing you are the most unpopular American president in history. If his brain were actually capable of any sort of thought.

Potionseller @potionseller.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah a single guy standing at the corner in a town that might ostracize him, or worse. It's a powerful image.

Honestly probably worthwhile to block accounts that are so narrowly focused anyways. Plenty of actual good accounts out there that are anti-regime without just being low-hanging bots.

I might be missing context. Was this a different website? Blocklists here are reversible.

Yeah but are you blocked by more people? Didn't think so, chump. /s

Santos is sort of classically corrupt. It's almost nostalgic compared to Trump and the other Nazis.

John Roberts owns this gerrymandering apocalypse and a looming status quo of one-party minority rule set to last for decades. We ought to name it after him.

Welcome to the Age of the Robertsmander

The chief justice has let partisan gerrymanders flourish, and created the conditions for near-permanent minority rule.

I've been saying for awhile I don't think we've gotten stupider either. People have bee complaining about crazy uncles since forever. It's just before all the stupid people were scattered around the country/world and now they can congregate and feed off each other on the internet.

On Reddit I said I didn't mind that the Lostprophets baby raping guy was murdered and received a 7 day ban. 🙃
