Late night bar tamale vendors are goddamn national heroes as far as I am concerned.

Literally don't believe your eyes.

I heard someone make a good, frightening point. Trump has been a political force for over a decade now. There are a generation of young people who only know MAGA politics. To them that is normal. They've never seen a functional government in their adult lives.

You could always wear a respirator inside the suit. I have also been thinking of a way to upgrade the fan mechanism so you could add a layer of air filter. Then the whole thing would basically be a hazmat suit.

Ok, but it's not.

Agreed. That's the interesting question to me. Why wasn't it simply the decision between democracy and fascism?

Did people not see it in that perspective? Or did they see it that way but still choose fascism? Does that mean people don't believe in democracy anymore? Or are they so convinced by propaganda that fascism is the only way to save us from an imaginary threat?

The reason matters because that determines what is needed to solve the problem.

I'm just using that as an example of how one of these inflatable costumes would act as a kind of armor.

Sure, he has combat experience, but he knows nothing about occupation and running a military empire. Can you imagine Vader doing the paperwork it takes to maintain supply lines?

I was once paintballing against a guy wearing one of those puffy down filled coats. The coat made him almost invulnerable because the paintballs wouldn't break against them. They just bounced off. I have to think that an inflatable suit would work the same way with pepper balls. It's goofy, but also a great tactical choice for multiple reasons.

It doesn't feel right that while people protest peacefully, immigrants are getting beaten, tortured, and deported illegally. It feels like people are okay with that as long as the government doesn't come for white people too.

What I am saying is the Democrats were irrelevant. It didn't matter who they ran. It didn't matter what their policy was. Not being Trump should have been enough to win by a landslide if people weren't too misinformed or apathetic.

I played a campaign where we had a dagger of healing. It worked great against undead (as intended by the DM) and also to torture information out of people (not intended by DM).

The only candidate that mattered was Trump. Literally any Democrat would be a better option.

Oh come on. You cease starting fires. It's right there in the name!

My dog gets so lost in sniffing things that he walks into objects constantly. He's walked directly into stop signs, a gas meter, people, and even walls.

I hate to say it, but she's right. Trump was very clear about his plans. Anyone paying attention knew what was going to happen. Any sane person with a pulse would have won the election if the public wasn't so apathetic, ignorant, and/or misinformed.

Really can’t tell if this is a bad astroturfer, or a person with poor reading comprehension.

Ad hominem

As someone who is not a US citizen, nor does he live there, he is not subject to the US espionage act.

He is subject to it if he lives in or enters a country with an extradition treaty with the US.

The US has helped Israel kill over 200 journalists in the past two years alone. Would you like a list of all their names?

You are moving the goalposts. This entire discussion has been about comparing the US to China. China arrests and kills their own journalists in their own country. That is the list I provided you. Provide the same for the US or admit you are wrong.

The situation is dire either way.

It would be great if whoever was heading one of these hearings just said, fine, we can all sit here until you answer our questions.
