Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly sounds like an 80s New Wave cover band

That sucks. I wish you better luck with the next one.

& hey it's not fair to low T cisguys that other guys produce more T, so maybe high T guys shouldn't be in sports either? Or maybe you'd exclude low T bc that's not manly enough for you
It's all ridiculous bigotry using pseudo scientific language so people can duck the consequences of their bigotry.

Sex is not binary. Being born some degree of intersex is about as common as being born with red hair. So none of those people should be allowed to participate in any athletics? Not to mention all the cis women who aren't intersex but do produce extra T. Them either? Fuck all those people right?

The Dems as an establishment are basically 80s Repubs now. We need something new. That or the vanishingly small number of them who aren't like that need to take control of the party.

How do we make Dem leaders understand "we just need to stay on message" is the stupidest, most complicit strategy to deal with this? Those who will hear, already know. Those who don't, will believe the opposite of whatever a lib tries to tell them. They have to DO something. Time for talk is past

Traitors. Complicity isn't going to save them.

Those security details take orders from the people doing the threatening, but I 100% agree with you. Cowards need to do their job. Did not mean to imply any sympathy, just adding to the list.

I've seen multiple (circumstantially credible) reports that add death threats to that list.

No.
Anyone who showed up and tried to disrupt it or protest, good on them. But they're giving him the spectacle he wants. "That's great television." Not showing up would get under his skin the most. He hates being ignored more than anything
Anyone who showed up and just sat there is COMPLICIT

For the same reason a bunch of people seem to think that a man who can BANKRUPT A CASINO is somehow a shrewd, savvy, hard-nosed businessman

2/ these people's better natures is misguided at best. They know they're doing the wrong thing but they're too scared to say no. The threat has to be neutralized in one way or the other before they will stop doing his bidding.

to add: maybe seeing it happen on screen will wise some people up to similar tactics being used off screen. There's a reason so many people are bending the knee franticly and it's not because of loyalty. It's the death threats and blackmail. So hoping to find the right tack to appeal to 1/2

Also considering this had to have all been written and filmed many months ago, long before the election, is just... soul crushing how what's happening is THAT OBVIOUS but also so many people couldn't figure it out before it was too late.

Just started the second episode (it's a 2 episode premiere) and so far, phenomenal. Also, timely. Head in my hands, pit in the bottom of my stomach timely.

Oh they're already coming after the 2nd, but it snuck under the radar with the Ukraine meeting fracas. Justice has been directed to pursue every firearms case and seek pretrial detainment against anyone accused. So far it's just in DC but I'd expect that to expand to anything in Fed jurisdiction.

This is one courtier who has figured a surefire way to curry favor with the wannabe king.

I half think it was intentional. Crashing the market without destroying it entirely lets them snatch up a bunch of stock for cheap so they'll make crazy profits when the market inevitably corrects itself back upward. If you're rich, this is basically just a giant clearance sale.
