I'm not saying this is starting to look a bit like the beginning Balkanization in America, but uh, yeah- isn't this the starting premise if every American Dystopian fiction ever?

I know I've been thinking of the Jericho TV show a lot over the last month.

To quote Lex Luthor: “...do you know how much power I'd have to give up to be President?”

Yet he did eventually run for president, *won*, and promptly, in two universes/timelines, went super evil. In one, secretly allying with Darkseid and in the other, nearly starting WW3 instead of being impeached, forcing Superman to kill him, turning the Justice League into fascist overlords. DC even went so far in a recent book to have Clark Kent lambast Luthor during a WHCD, which spurred him to start an exploratory committee. A little on the nose, but hey.

Trump has shattered the barrier that held billionaires back from running for the presidency. The emoluments clause is now merely a suggestion, and if you think the Democrats will/would enforce it if/when a left-leaning/left-pretending billionaire candidate with a modicum of charisma comes along, you're nuts.

Chuds will just write off the dead as casualties of war. It's the only logical end result of Trump calling himself a wartime president, and his cronies using military terms to suggest we're fighting a war against the virus and our medical providers are on the front lines. Makes it so much easier to overlook all the needlessly dead first responders and hospital staff.

Don't forget the "Invisible Enemy!" I'm sure that phrase isn't going anywhere any time soon.

Thought OPEC and the rest agreed to cut production a week or two ago to put prices back up, did that not pan out?

It takes like 4-6 weeks for those decisions to actually start affecting gas pricing.

It would not surprise me in the slightest if people start thinking "I'll buy barrels and keep gas in my garage *just in case*," not reasoning that 1) that's extremely dangerous, and 2) even using a stabilizing agent, gasoline only keeps for like 6-8 months.

But yeah I'm definitely never leaving the west coast, closest thing to living in the US somewhere like the rest of the first world

The West Coast up to about Portland is going to be borderline uninhabitable in like 15-20 years at the current progression of climate change, so...maybe don't buy a house?

Remember. The exact same poo poo went on when he had gout surgery.

This. NK is a pariah nation, and they love sowing doubt and discord on an international level. Supreme Leader isn't allowed to recuperate from something as normal as surgery because whenever he plays golf he gets two holes in one on every hole!

Wouldn't surprise me if most of the "KJU is dead" poo poo is coming from the North Koreans themselves so they can talk up how ~the world waits with bated breath~ (or some other horseshit) to hear from Supreme Leader.

There are some interviews with people who escaped. They are pretty depressing to read.

There are also :3: videos of NK refugees eating American food on Youtube that are pretty entertaining and enlightening.

Just what we need, potential spoiler candidates in another election that'll come down to single-digit percentage point differences in key states. I loathe Biden, but he's the steaming bowl of poo poo that isn't Trump.

What does this actually accomplish at the convention?

Nothing. It's left-handed magnanimity, and there'll invariably be a picture of DNC establishment laughing as the handful of Bernie's states pledge for him.
