Negative.
I am a meat popsicle.
This the same guy that said he was happy he now had the tallest building in Manhattan after the towers fell? That guy?
The same guy that lied and said he saw Arab-Americans dancing on rooftops as the planes hit, stoking a wave of anti-brown hatred across the nation? That guy?
Fuck that guy.
THE COUCH SAID NO, JD
Who provides shelter to a million people converging on a city?
Do you know what winters in the US are like? How do you keep those people warm enough to continue protesting in 10° (-12°C) weather? You can’t just say “people will have to figure that out for themselves”, people will literally freeze to death if you do that.
A cold winter was instrumental in defeating the Nazis in Russia, wasn’t it? Everyday civilians are not trained soldiers, are not accustomed to spending long periods in freezing cold, and for the most part don’t own the proper equipment that would even make such a thing possible.
Are you going to equip them? Feed them?
These things don’t just come together overnight or without a huge amount of planning and logistics. The fact that you think it’s as easy as “driving to the capitol and staying there” just goes to show how little you’ve actually thought about this.
Edit - just for context, there are roughly 115,000 hotel rooms in the DC Metro Area. Even with illegal double occupancy, that’s 800,000 people living on the streets, underequipped, in winter.
Next nationwide 50501 protest is a national walk-out on Jan 20th.
We’ll see you there, right?

If only there was an appropriately named “Big Party” happening somewhere important to the country sometime this year…
Next nationwide 50501 protest is Jan 20th.
I have no doubt that, in addition to the spontaneous protests on Saturday, there are many more demonstrations whose planning has been kicked into high gear by the events of this weekend.
Of course they are, and that will just feed the narrative / give them an excuse to put more troops on the streets / allow them to swoop in and place all such daycares “temporarily” under government control “for protection” / give added fuel to the eventual argument for martial law.
If it was about drugs, Orange Hitler wouldn’t have pardoned Balsonaro. It’s about oil and enriching his corporate money fountain.
No one is ever allowed to come within arms length of the levers of power unless the system either owns them or owns evidence with which to compel them.
I’m an American, and that guy is an idiot.
Sanction us back to the Stone Age. I’ve lived on Saltines and condiments for months before, and I’m perfectly willing to do it again if it means our fascist government feels the pain.
Copyright around the Pantone system is historically a pretty murky area. According to Pantone themselves,
“published materials of Pantone, are protected by copyright laws and include, for example, graphic presentations, color references, Pantone Colors, Pantone Names, numbers, formulas, and software”. (Clause 4, Pantone EULA)
Aaron Perzanowski researches intellectual and personal property law at the University of Michigan Law School. He says that Pantone has no underlying intellectual property rights when it comes to either individual colors, or the color libraries of which they are a part. “There’s no copyright protection available for individual colors, and the limited trademark rights for specific colors don’t apply here either,” Perzanowski says.
Practically, a US District Court has ruled that, while Pantone cannot copyright a color, they can copyright the “Pantone Color System” that specifically exists to provide print-accurate colors.
They should be pissed.
The entire world should be sanctioning the fuck out of the US. It’s entirely obvious the administration is off the rails and isn’t going to stop on its own.
Shirley admitting his reporting is “satire” when pressed about a video he made claiming the war in Ukraine was a fraud:
How shockingly good for you.
I’m so happy you provided me this great advice in answer to my question.
Maybe you should have subscribed to “How Not To Be a Huge Ass on the Internet Quarterly”. A lot of people like it for the pictures, but I read it for the articles.
I’m sure if the Guardian were to really put their heads together they’d be able to come up with at least a couple plausible explanations why people in power didn’t want to go after the guy who was providing people in power with underage girls.
Hmmm…it’s a puzzler for sure.

Sounds an awful lot like we need to act before they do.
The tree of liberty, and all that.
By comparison, the cost to eradicate world hunger by 2030 would be $93 billion a year, and I can guarantee not a penny of those trillions will EVER help a poor person.
On the one hand, you’re correct on all counts.
On the other, you’re the only person in this entire discussion framing things in terms of open revolt. Collective action is NOT that, and presupposing the necessity of armed conflict could needlessly get innocents killed.
I’d much rather show up for a protest and have to deal with tear gas than show up expecting to assault the city and give them an excuse to meet us with tanks instead.
Edit - not to mention that a wave of people stripping the country bare of supplies and equipment as they move towards the capitol is going to do absolute wonders for the public perception of any rebellion. You’ll have Mr and Mrs Public screaming for it to be put down, hard.
