Yup. I was on a golf course in Florida and over heard some republicans talking about. One Said “He has always been a crook, the question is will he do what we want him to do”.

Your are asking two separate questions.

Question one: Was America surprised when he was re elected?

Yes, because the first time was a shit show of horror, and at least half the country couldn’t believe the other half wanted that to happen again, regardless of how bad a candidate Kamala was.

Question two: Are all politicians liars and cheat?

Yes, but Trump is several orders of magnitude worse than all the others combined. Openly soliciting bribes and publicly accepting and wallowing in them. All while using the constitution to wipe his ass and just laugh.

It really come down to scale, all the shit the Clintons and bushes and even Nixon have done just dont hold a candle to the lawless murder and greed trump is engaged in. Nothing like this has occurred before in the modern era. And remember, I’m including the illegal secret war Nixon created.

yup

Already been done.

Revelation 11:18 in the King James Version states: “And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.”

They just ignore it.

No, I don’t think that will do anything but mildly inconvenience them.

We had these chiller units at the lab I used to work at. They are built like a tank, the only vulnerable part is the two pipes carrying water in and out of the building. Plus our security people insisted we surround the chiller with a twelve foot fence topped with barbed wire.

But even if you do shoot out one of the pipes, all that happens is an alarm goes off the and the system does and orderly shuts down. Our system was installed by the lowest bidder and failed all the time, no really problem.

So if you were to do this, all you have done is risk your life and liberty to mildly annoy the powers that be. You’d be more effective running for local government and cutting them off from the municipal water system.

Plus these building aren’t wood, they are steel and concrete, you can’t even burn them down. Only a transient power event, that overwhelms the surge protection would do any harm.

Say like covertly putting up a lightning rod and running a wire to the building.

But they know they are hated, and these places are well guarded. You will never get close to one. I just don’t see a realistic way to do any damage except through the power line running into the building. Maybe via a substation.

As nice as it is to fantasize about this stuff, you’re attacking a fortified fixed position. They know you are coming, and law enforcement and government is on their side. Seems like a suicide mission.

Isn’t that what they always have done?

The whole point of the klan is to keep black people down with terror and fear.

It won’t matter. They care more about gas prices than the heat. They will crawl back to fossil fuel on their hands and knees just to get a little more economic growth.

Awe, are they loosing confidence in the mass murdering rapist who kidnaps children? How sad.

One can only hope that there really is a network of people ready to fire bomb these places.

Which brings up the question. How do you bypass the surge suppressors for a data center and cause a power spike that destroys all the ai chips. Asking for a friend.

Nvidia CEO Begs Execs to Stop Telling Workers They’re Fired Because of AI, it’s hurting Nvidia’s stock price.

Good.

Such a shame. I was hoping it would be more.

That looks more like a Tesla than a Ferrari. WTF?

I work with the army for about 30 years, and this demonstrates one of the greatest things I learned.

Namely: If you want to find the one person in the room who has no idea what is going on, find the highest ranking officer. They really do live in a separate reality disconnected from logic and reason.

In other news, the prisoners at Abu Ghraib were torturing themselves, the guards had nothing to do with it.

Does anyone really think ice isn’t torturing these people to death?

This was about 15 or 20 years ago. Even so, more meth than crack last I checked

Yup.

Yup. Good guess.

Big thumbs up to regular exercise. It helps more than any meds. “Motion is the best lotion”, the doctors always say to me.

On the other hand, since this is a retirement community, with so many exercise options, new arrival always do the same thing. They think they are 18 and do all the sports they did as a kid. Their next stop is the orthopedic surgeon to put things back together again. So don’t over do it. I think half the people on my street have had a shoulder, hip or knee replaced.

That is the beauty of the ebike. You can adjust the torque setting and preserve your knees, while still getting some exercise. When you get tired, you use the throttle to get home. One nice thing about the Villages, tons of places to bike.

Not really an option any more, use to do that a lot, when I first retired.

I’m on some really expensive meds that require refrigeration. They don’t travel well. Plus all the medical equipment I have to haul around with me.

I make one trip a year now up to NJ in the summer, to visit my brother then spend a couple of months there. Come October or so he comes down here and bring Harley the wonder dog with him. It’s a GSP and just such a happy destructive puppy.
