Hilariously those are the two that would probably be containable.

That’s part of my point though, he’s going to have the very best and about ten times the people on the job as compared to his security detail back then.

I mean, it takes all kinds right? A desire to go out big can manifest in so many ways and he didn’t go after an A list actor, or a CEO, or any number of other high profile people. There is a reason he decided on Trump, even if his original impetus was suicide.

The sheer amount of money being removed by the 1 percent is regoddamndiculous. It’s something like 45 trillion dollars since wages diverged from productivity in 1975.

It would require Apple to accept a dollar less in profit.

Marketing aside, any normative young person can pass boot camp. (And basic training) The military gets worried when the pass rates for those courses gets low. Versus keeping pass rates low for schools like special squirrel.

It’s hard to say. He’s definitely closer to it than any president since JFK. But security is way better these days. And before the FBI comes knocking on my door, this is just an objective analysis.

We’ve already had a shooter with a near miss. So clearly there’s the will to do this among some segment of the population. Probably a conservative who feels betrayed or person who is truly far left, (not just a progressive).

However, security during the campaign and for JFK was a lot less than it is now. It’s going to be a lot harder to get close enough with a rifle. If you think of a plan the USSS has already thought about it and probably has a counter of some sort.

So while he’s definitely the closest, I don’t think we’ll see another president assassinated unless they do something truly stupid like gut the USSS.

In this case there was no real issue. He was trying to get free advertising out of the court. But also, we’ve had animated avatars and text to voice for over a decade now. This isn’t an AI use case.

I’m a lot closer to being an expert than most people and that’s a war crime.

Why? Isn’t that the easiest lowest hanging fruit possible?

If I’m a politician and I’m putting tariffs in place, the one place getting annihilated by a 1,000% tariff is the place I’ve already sanctioned into the ground. Is that performative? Maybe. Would it prevent headlines like this? Yep.

Makes you wonder what’s going on in the swamp.

They still only have 20 percent of the country. After years. At this rate they will run out of people before Ukraine runs out of territory.

Europe has 450 million people. It will be easier for them than Russia with 146 million people. Stop spreading FUD.

As we all know, repeatedly drafting several divisions worth of men is a sign you’re winning the war…

Yeah. I’m not disagreeing with that. I’m just mad.

Yeah? And if you’re wrong we’re fucked. To be clear it’s not that you or I could do anything about it. We’re just either fucked or going to have the world’s biggest laugh at the Russians.

Nuclear exchange. Yeah it’s possible they nukes were maintained about as well as their tanks. It’s also possible that we’re entirely fucked.

Unfortunately most people are not going to put their life on the line for you. For reference the advice to women being violently raped is to remain quiet and pee on their attacker or yell fire. Because people do not respond to the words help or rape.

So we start a movement by asking people to do something less, be a witness. Don’t let them just disappear people.

You are assuming those are actually police officers.

That’s kind of a hollywood thing. It can certainly happen but an unsecured person in a van is a nightmare to deal with.
