It’s interesting how many people believed the leaked “product” 2025 was fake before the election. Despite Trump’s campaign team acknowledging it was real.

What should we try with the live demo? Neat stuff, it’s this a long-term project?

Here’s a bunch of nerdy geology videos, if you like that kind of thing.

Maybe we should call them “Kavanaugh arrests”.

The Kavanaugh Stop’s Legacy: 50 Days, 170+ Detained Citizens, Zero Answers - Above the Law

Or his father.

How many TB?

We need a version with pepper spray.

And didn’t the Constitution plainly say he couldn’t legally run, but scotus is not interested in that document constraining them anymore.

I wonder if he has a pull out couch for guests.

Can’t hurt to ask nicely.

This seems the require a better descriptor. Extorting an election.

In what way is that quid pro quo illegal?

He has spent his life battling countless wars of attrition in courtrooms, and has largely forced his petty wishes upon the world.

I suspect his covid response was because he simply didn’t want to be told what to do, and then he later used it as a tool.

I think it’s good that Obama, and in effect the establishment that he represents, is standing up to the tidal wave of threats against mamdani, kind of calling their bluff. It also helps to normalize his legitimacy as a politician on the national level.

There’s a powerful normalcy bias at work here. People can acknowledge a long list of ways the “American way of life” is circling the drain, but day to day it feels like things will basically be the same. People keep going to work, paying into retirement, and planning holiday vacations.

You would probably get beaten or tortured, and then charged with assaulting a federal officer. That’s one to 20 years in federal prison.

Also threats against law enforcement, such as making terroristic threats or harassment, especially if it endangers the agent or their family. Potentialy harassment, conspiracy if someone identifies the officer, and obstruction of justice.

Basically dictatorship consequences.

And started a universal basic income!

Only in practice. Federal officers have always been able to be arrested and tried for state crimes if they are unreasonably outside the scope of their official duties.

This is likely part of why they prioritize hiding their faces and other identifying information. Watch them struggling to arrest someone and they will let go of someone just to pull their masks back up. They are breaking a lot of laws, but if a court can’t identify them, they can’t be charged. Secret police above the law are a key part of a dictatorship.

I doubt any police are going to risk arresting them in the field anyway. Even if they could make the arrest without it dangerously escalating, Pam Bondi would gleefully call it treason or insurrection, and bring in an army.

What would be the point? The feds have gas masks on, and most of the protesters don’t.
