Nobody says it has to be done legally.

Exactly this here.

<refrain>The problem is not Trump. The problem has never been Trump. Trump is a symptom of the problem. The problem is a social rot that has been going on for all of my life (well over half a century). All y’all done fucked up your whole society and that problem will remain long after the current coterie is gone.</refrain>

I will never trust the USA again. Nor will anybody else who was alive to watch that country turn to open Nazis over the course of two elections. We now know what’s lurking within the USA, and how large it is, and how much power it has. We can’t unsee this. It will be generations before anybody but the stupid trusts Americans.

I’m gonna have to escalate that to “execute”.

It’s the alternative to a lot of things. And a gateway, if skilfully applied, to a world without billionaires.

Our national neighbors to the north have already caved, setting off alarm bells in some U.S. operations, and now NADA is hoping to amplify that warning.

Fuck off you Yankee cunts. Go fuck yourself through both ears with a rusty chainsaw.

“Caved”!? You mean “are purchasing higher quality vehicles for lower prices” means “caving” these days?

Seriously. Fuck all the way off.

I ran out of coffee this morning. (BOO!)

But I’m expecting my next batch to arrive tomorrow or the day after. (YAY!)

I’ll have to settle for booze in the meantime.

I finished off a January-long challenge: 31 RPG characters in 31 different games over 31 days. It actually worked out quite well and despite the time pressure I got a few characters I’d love to actually play in the bargain.

I’m more Daoist than Wiccan, but still anarchist.

Flippant answer: the one I’m reading at any given moment.

More considered answer: A toss-up between Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and Mahfouz’ Children of the Alley.

What’s your silliest fear?

Who cuts your hair?

I think that’s just what he does while playing golf.

I use “comrade” myself. Albeit in its Chinese formulation: 同志. (See, while it’s unbearably stuffy in modern China, 同志 is also the term used in the LGBTQ+ community in China to refer to each other which is a really spiffy subversion of authority that I adore to pieces.)

My woodwinds.

Tesla is so far behind in robotics it’s almost Fremdschämen at this point when I hear about Kaptain Ketamine’s plans.

There are TOY ROBOTS here in China that do more and better than his idiotic “Optimus” remote controlled things.

Toy. Robots. I can’t stress that enough. Toy robots are outdoing Mr. “IWANNABEATRILLIONAIRE”!

Can we start with the hanging?

By their entrails?

On live television?

Well given the Starmtrooper you’ve got as PM, I guess people are saying “why settle for the lesser evil?”

I don’t get it at all.

So … sometimes … slop is used for good?

The problem isn’t and never has been Trump.

The problem is Americans and the deep cultural rot they’ve allowed to set in. Trump is a symptom of the USA’s problems, not the cause.

Trump is, at least, and quite inadvertently, a friend to the world, however. Because of him the rest of the world got to see the USA’s real face and is now doing the right thing: disengaging.

I’m not at the point of thinking that Americans are non-human. I am at the point of considering them, however, to be a cultural cancer that needs to be rapidly hit with chemotherapy and excised from the body politic of the world.
