You responded with a condescending retort because you're used to students. Bye!

It is also true that McD has served at least 10 hamburgers today, but it's not a useful measurement. Usually, when you give a range, you give one that provides some insight. That's what makes it useful to report the range.

Why would success stop him?

Where are you getting the guy who is ahead in the polls has a 1 in 4 chance from?

The rule just can't be, the law is X, unless you get enough people to be violent for you. That's just the rule of the jungle with more steps.

It's really easy! And totally arbitrary! Another arrest would do it, let alone 3 more felony arrests totally 100 charges. Threatening public officials? No question. No legalistic "well he didn't exactly say..." No, you just get locked up. And that's wrong! And it's also wrong to exempt one person.

his intended subject was “Democracy, Autocracy and the Threat to Reason in the 21st Century.

Well, we got to the third one, anyway.

he also disparaged the former president’s professional background, exclaiming: “He’s a property developer, for God’s sake!”

Have your met our Lord and Savior, the Garbage Plate?

I believe the phrase is bearing a cross and draped in the flag.

And on the other thing, she dumped me a year ago and I can't shake her out of my mind and it's really bothering me.

I think you're right about that, but the biggest strand will be a less buffoonish fascism. But that aside, that's not quite what I'm worried about. I'm worried about what lies beneath the power. If we control everything, but 35% want us dead and are violent about it, how does it work?

Yea, I agree. They're so post-truth that it doesn't matter that such a push entirely invalidates their primary anti-Biden argument. And their power is no longer tied to electoral outcomes. And they just threaten judges who won't go along anyway. I don't know what success looks like anymore.

Kind of what I mean by losing...

If everything wasn't either broken or in fascist hands, there would be a ton of easy fixes. But...

Right. I just don't know if we can. Is there any precedent for not going fascist when it's 30-40%?

But then, I'm feeling down in another way, so maybe my pessimism is just reflecting that.
