  1. "None of this is going to happen. The worst case scenario is that Presiden Biden would simple ask former President Trump to leave." Aw, you jinxed it. Edit: I really want to seen the Secret Service physically drag Trump out of the White House.

  2. Practical problems to overcome with throwing out the electoral system and switching to a popular vote: The popular vote is already counted, all that needs to be done is to decide to go with that instead of the damned college. Legal problems to overcome: The constitution. AKA, that piece of paper that everyone acts like it's sacred (rather than just a higher set of laws) and that still gets shat on at every opportunity if it will give the slightest advantage. Slap down a bunch of new seats in the House and the Senate that go to representatives and senators chosen by the parties voted on in the presidential election and allocate the number of seats proportional to the % of the popular vote they got. Make sure that there's enough seats that the parties get some real teeth. Like, comprising either a third or maybe half of the seats in Congress. BAM, third parties are actually relevant on a national level and it's not a winner-takes-all system like the presidency. Now third parties are relevant on a national level since the presidency isn't the only national position of power filled by the election, faithless elector don't exist because electors don't exist, you can't win the presidency with an absurdly small number of the popular vote anymore (23 freaking percent . . .), and people who are American citizen but who don't live in one of the fifty states can now vote for the most powerful office in the country rather than having to freaking move to be allowed to vote. If you can vote as a soldier stationed overseas then you should be able to cast a vote if you live in Puerto Rico or American Samoa. Now, watch as every politician loses their head trying to figure out how to game the new system. The chaos would be glorious. My two cents.

  3. Thank Raptor Jesus that there is no silly requirement for expensive, fancy clothing in court here in my country. Well, as a plaintiff or defendant at least. Would have really sucked if I'd had to cough up money for that the one time I've gone to court. (My economic situation was delicate at the time and the expense of a suit would have been . . . problematic. I like not starving.)

  4. As it has been with just about every president for the last century, with the tentative exception of Nixon.

  6. "Let it all burn," has been one of my three working hypotheses on why Trump does what he does since a month or three after he took office. The other two are that either he is clinically insane or he's demonstrating all the flaws in the American political system by intentionally abusing every single angle and scrap of power he can seize, legally or not, to show that the system is flawed and must be improved. I honestly can't tell which, if any, of them are true, even now.

  7. . . . You do realize that DOGE is named that because it's a referrence to the $DOGE memecoin cryptocurrency, which was in term named after a dog in an actual meme. Elon is an unapologetic memelord. Remember the "let that sink in" joke where he walked into Twitter HQ carrying an actual sink? You will amuse him, not annoy him. If you want to annoy him challenge his gaming cred in PoE2. (And it was amusing seeing the richest man on the planet have a spat with the Cockroach King when he called him out on being carried in PoE2. The D4 cred is legit however.)

  8. Data collection is the excuse. No one gives a shit about that. The real reason is that it's an obvious psyop app meant to destabilize the countries that allow it. There's a reason the app is banned in its home country.

  9. I always thought Honey looked like a scam/too good to be true to me. I couldn't see how they were able to make money off of their alledged service, and considering how many sponsored ads I saw from them they made bank. No fees, no ads, no nothing.

  11. Wind and solar power are pointless boondongles. Nuclear and hydro are the only truly green power sources.
