Speaking of Taliban... "Campaign officials tell NBC News that there will be a shift to less of a focus on Florida, leaner events and more of an insurgent approach." What exactly do they mean by "insurgent" here? Is this the dawn of Ya'll Qaida's war on civilians? Or just the revenge of Florida; return of the elderly?

Be willing to sacrifice all of your people and outlast the occupiers attention span. I think part of it is once you have a hostile entity killing people it's more likely to draw folks into the cause instead of away from it. So if you're the government you have to just start genociding a sector of your own population and hope that your military is willing to go along with that. The cops are basically primed and ready to do it and just need some wide scale disruption to occur for them to go ahead with it. (if you think this sounds like fantasy its basically Katrina). Honestly best case would be something like Egypt where the military pretty quickly sided with the people against the state police forces during the Arab spring etc.

I want multiple angles on him when The Mattering comes home to roost.

CBJSprague24 posted:He probably only needs to be found guilty on a couple counts to do serious time, right? I want multiple angles on him when The Mattering comes home to roost. So a really dumb, lovely thing in federal trials is that you can be sentenced to time for counts that you were found not guilty on, if you were found guilty on others. Here's the article on that. quote:Several cases are pending before the U.S. Supreme Court to bring an end to the practice on grounds it did not consider in 1997, when it held that taking acquitted conduct into account at sentencing does not violate the double jeopardy clause of the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment. Donnie generally wants the cameras on for fundraising purposes, driving the news cycle (fundraising purposes), and getting attention (fundraising purposes). Federal courts are real weird about cameras, as not having them is kinda-sorta first amendment iffy, but the Supreme Court doesn't have them and they can turn trials into circuses. I like the general standard of live, in-court audio like in a lot of the Supreme Court oral arguments.

Also, I just checked the tomatometers on Barbie and Oppenheimer, with most of the critics fully weighed in. I generally thought the Barbenheimer stuff was internet funny irony poo poo versus people actually going to go. Barbie is at 90%/89% and Oppenheimer is at 94%/94%. Even the new Mission Impossible is at 96%/94%. ... how did they all apparently turn out good

Yeah, I wasn't supporting them per se beyond just that it was probably best for the civilians during the initial uprising that the military lol nope'd the police. If the USA is in the position of relying on that to happen its already fallen apart but at least a lot of the local minorities, gays etc won't get deathsquadded or at least right away.

Speaking of, DeSantis is serious about woke! DeSantis calls for state investment manager to consider action against Bud Light’s parent company quote:Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is urging the state’s pension fund manager to consider legal action against Bud Light’s parent company amid conservative backlash to the beermaker’s recent marketing efforts, the latest attempt by the Republican presidential candidate to inject himself and the state he runs into the country’s culture wars. In case of flaccid election hopes, stick dick into hornet's nest

I'll report back either way, but I aim to do this Do Oppenheimer first then Barbie, Oppenheimer leaves you kinda meh and full of existential dread, while Barbie sprinkles existential dread in with laughs and actually makes it fun. Oppenheimer isn't bad it's just Christopher Nolan, loud soundtrack and slow burning plot. Barbie opens with poo poo that will make everyone laugh. Then it brings in the existential dread.

There’s no amount of transparency that will satisfy these fucks. No cameras? It’s a show trial / fake. Cameras but don’t show jurors? There were no jurors, it’s a show trial. Show jurors? They’re Democrat agents / crisis actors / lizard people.

I'll report back either way, but I aim to do this I could take or leave any of the MI movies from 2 clear up to whatever the hell they were on prior to this one, but Henry Czerny reprising his role as Eugene Kittridge alone has me interested in the new one. He's outstanding in the "slimeball dickhead-type role he played in both MI and Clear and Present Danger. Also, I didn't realize there's an entire universe of MI content that I'm guessing is fanfic? Apparently, Jim Phelps from the first movie wasn't actually Jim Phelps but some other guy and I can't tell if that's canon or somebody's wet dream because I had trouble finding any other context.
