I just became aware of the LocoRoco soundtrack. 😍 And, consequently, noticed that the accompaniment in the main theme has kind of a New Orleans jazz-funeral style to it, and decided to fire up iOptigan on my iPad, load up the "Dixieland Strut" disc, and see how it sounds played along to that...

I'm going to go with "Most of them aren't going to go to bat for the guy who sells cars for hippies."

It is, at the very least, proof that Trump really is THAT racist and isn't even bothering to disguise it anymore. That's not a dogwhistle, it's a 1812 Overture cannon.

It's really a damned-if-we-do, damned-if-we-don't situation we're staring down the barrel of. If the RIAA gets a judge to rule that "making a song that sounds clearly similar to a copyrighted one" now counts as infringement, suddenly countless composers and distributors are open to massive...

The contrast between Ukraine's actual president being duped by Trump's offer and Dekafox seeing right through it is staggering. It's one thing to believe that every single one of us is better qualified to run the US than Trump, but I kinda still had more faith in other world leaders...

Interesting. So it's like their version of the House of Representatives electing a non-member as Speaker, and then the President and Vice President resigning and making that person President by rules of succession.

Things don't usually go this well this fast. A broken system is right twice a day, I guess.

So I'm super confused. Did Canada have an election recently or didn't they? There's a new Prime Minister, and Anonymous X recently posted results from...something, but googling "canada election results" just got me articles about the new PM and old news about the 2021 election.

I'm increasingly of the opinion that governments should stop doing business with private companies entirely and instead establish their own owned-and-operated production pipelines for everything they need.

Hey remember when Russia was getting curb-stomped even without our help and we thought this was going to end quickly?

It could also be malicious compliance. Most of the people working there aren't new hires, after all. I know if I were working there and Trump just became my boss, I'd immediately make it my mission to interpret any vague orders in the way that makes the boss looks as bad as possible, without...

Is there some specific reason this particular veteran's memorial has been vandalized in this manner, or has the department done this for everyone who's not a white man?

I keep having to remind myself that "Trump Derangement Syndrome" isn't the term for whatever the hell is wrong with Trump himself. (Every accusation etc.)

I don't think anyone is saying that Trump is going to actively go to war with Venezuela. Because he has no reason to do that. We're saying that, sure, the Alien Enemies Act officially can only be invoked against countries we're at war with, and we're not at war with Venezuela or anyone else at...

I'm sure they're working on that too.

OK, but then what? All of Congress is now in prison. Are they also out of a job? Do we hold emergency elections to replace them? They can't do their job from prison either.

No, we made Nazis illegal in Germany when we briefly took away their right to self-govern and took control in their stead. And then we refused to give it back unless they agreed to keep that rule in particular. It's an important distinction that has serious implications for our future if indeed...

Does Congress have quorum rules? Could every single Democrat simply refusing to show up for work for the next two years do anything worthwhile?

It would definitely take a complete overthrow of the current government system and a new Constitution to make any sort of guarantee to that effect.

Are you sure the people you're arguing with are even real, and not bots? The first reply seemed to be unclear on who "she" even is, and responded as if you were talking about Kamala Harris somehow.
