5·15 days ago- You’re on a plane, minding your own business.
- A drunk with a gun demands that the plane be flown to Mar-a-Lago, or he will kill everyone on the plane. He’s well armed and insults some of the fellow passengers for saying negative things about Trump.
- After a while, a fellow passenger political centrist whacks him while he’s not looking. The gun flies out of his hand, and discharges, but there is little injury and damage.
- Others tackle and hold him. He’s arrested and charged. Trump pardons him.
- He wants to be taken off the now-fly-list (or lists if it’s up to private airline companies). He says that he has since given up on guns and drinking alcohol, and promises not to do it again. (He might also have said “MTG has some good criticisms of Trump.”)

4·2 months agoAmerica’s 1% doesn’t like how Europe’s bottom 99% seem to average better than America’s bottom 99%—it’s getting many Americans in America’s bottom 99% to think that their country should be more like a European country.

41·2 months agoI strongly oppose this and think it’s a bad idea because then you’ll be like Ukraine and your neighbors like Russia.
Maybe Ukraine was foolish enough to give up its nukes. Also California and other Pacific states might want to leave.
Instead we must win big in all 50 states.
I don’t see the Democrats winning big—though we will know in 10¼ months.
Otherwise you’ll screw over tens if not hundreds of millions of people who will be forced to live in a a far-right extremist country.
It’s apparently what many Americans want.
It’s becoming an American tradition: bring in a shitty Republican about every 20 years. Today it’s Trump. Before it was Dubya. Before him was Reagan, and before him was Nixon.
Another reason why this is a bad idea is because blue states send a lot of good Democrats to congress. Taking that away means certain Republican domination in congress.

1·3 months agoWhat if some states secede?
"My friends and fellow Californians, this is not a secession from the United states of America because the United states of America no longer exists.
…
Because while Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes, our country has suffered a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evincing a Design to reduce us under absolute Despotism, and thus it is our Right, it is our Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for our future Security."
