If you truly consider yourself a patriot, you will do what you can to help the people who will actually be in danger during this administration. Find orgs near you that help the marginalized and underrepresented. Volunteer. Educate others. Do whatever you are able to.

This is not the time to retreat. This is a time for action.

And he's actually been trying again recently as the auction gets closer. But people aren't really following him to his new Twitter account

Congress has barely been able to pass critical funding bills. Do you really think they're functional enough to pass highly technical and involved legislation for specific agencies?

Remember that even if you cover your face, they're probably monitoring for your gait. Put a small rock in your shoe to change that...

It sounds like you haven't seen any healthy ethnically non-monogamous relationships. That's a shame. As a part of one, I've seen several others as well. It can work, if it's done for the right reasons and if all partners respect each other.

But the fun thing is that all solar currently has a carbon cost associated with it. So as we're trying to work our way out of this we're also continuing to increase the carbon load. It's a vicious cycle.

Sure, if they're willing to just destroy everything then it's less of a solid tactic. Will the American military be so willing to just destroy the places they grew up in? Perhaps. Will they be willing to shoot the neighbor they grew up playing with? Perhaps. Will they be willing to level the school they have so many fond memories of? Perhaps. And if so, then yes, that's game over.

The US military has historically been pretty terrible when it comes to insurgencies. But obviously they haven't been fighting in their own backyard.

It'll be interesting either way. I sure hope it doesn't come to pass.

It doesn't seem like you've read much about insurgencies and rebel groups. It doesn't actually take much firepower to inject enough chaos into the system that you cause issues with traditional militaries. One person with a rifle could keep a FOB alert and wasting resources for a couple of hours in Afghanistan. IEDs placed by individuals or small groups caused absolute terror in Iraq.

These types of things are unlikely to "win" a war. But if you make it costly enough, the other side will decide it's not worth fighting. The point is not to engage in head-on combat, that's suicide.

Or hell, look to the tactics of some of the rebels in the Revolutionary War or the Civil War.

With his current mental state I'm pretty sure anyone could hide behind a bush and tell him they're God and that he should drop out. I think it would work.

While I hate what this means in general; be honest, is anyone going to miss Liz Cheney?

As I mentioned on another comment, there is no mechanism for the court to enforce that. The DOJ is under the President. Who will arrest the President? The SC may think this empowers them more, but it really does not.

As bad of a rep as they get, having an AR-15 is a really good idea. Readily available parts and ammo. Very easy to use. Easy to clean. Overall a good choice.
