        I wouldn’t say I’m comfortable, exactly. I agree it is the proper reading-between-the-lines, and it’s very awkward. Actually, down right terrifying.

          We need to be doing everything legally possible right now to get him the fuck out. That’s what I’ll say.

              I actually heard it succinctly explained by Graham Plattner the other day (I think on The Daily podcast), and I’ll probably muck it up but: When people aren’t given the power to bring change the right way within the system because the billionaires have rigged it for themselves, it makes that small percentage of people who are naturally inclined towards violence to take matters into their own hands.

              That’s why we’re seeing an increase in stochastic violence. It’s not some organized resistance cell, but just a random dude who maybe would’ve committed other crimes at a different time that picks up a rifle and tries to solve what he sees as the biggest problem facing him today.

          They’re going to rise up for sure after the mid-terms are stolen, and then after the next general is stolen, and then…

            HEY this is the regime’s fifth to last chance! They better not do it 6 more times or else we’ll start to mobilize a few years after their 7th time.

      He already did that a while ago. NSPM-7 is nothing new, neither is repeatedly ignoring court orders, trying to overthrow the 2020 election, or personally enriching himself to the tune of billions of dollars using the power of the government he runs.
