Yeah, it’s only been the last 30-40 years that we’ve been falling down the same rabbit hole that places like OK or AL have.

Yes, but the Ford is new, shiny, and most importantly for Great Leader, bigger.

No no no! I don’t know who started this fucking thing, Cincinnati chili has never contained cocoa. I literally live here, and I’ve heard it from tons of transplants and natives alike. No chili parlor here uses it, no recipes I’ve seen use it.

There’s also the fact that there’s an enormous machine of conservative think tanks and funding groups and PACs and corporations that will fight every and any change tooth and nail. The obvious ones like abolishing ICE? They’re an enormous source of revenue for dozens of companies, from tech to defense, not to mention that private prison companies are running the concentration camps. They’d need to be ready to effectively run things as a true dictator in order to get anything done, because large portions of the economic sphere have been retooled to rely on things continuing the way they are.

He’s the one kid at your birthday party who’s upset they’re not getting attention too.

Like father, like son. Part of why Trump eats so shitty is the same fear.

This doesn’t matter, because if you’re a soldier getting things shipped to you, it goes to an APO box that then gets sorted internally to go wherever that soldier is stationed. You’d have to stop shipping to military members entirely.

It’s worked wonders for centuries. Half the reason “you should go to war” was a thing was because of the unspoken “so you can steal a bunch of shit from the villages you burn”.

Have you also thought of the idea that maybe she’s masking some of those symptoms around you? A lot of the language in your post seems judgmental, if just ignorant. It could be she’s willing and able to internalize those symptoms around you or other people in order to make her life easier - lots of us do it around family because a LOT of parents wind up coming out of the gate sounding like you, and it’s easier to just go “look I’m fine” rather than have to justify our diagnosis constantly.

Autism, especially what used to be considered “high functioning” autism like Asperger’s, isn’t always a “constant” feeling of these symptoms anymore than an average schizoaffective person or someone with BPD or someone with bipolar is constantly experiencing their own symptoms. You have good days, you have bad days, and you have triggers and sometimes you can nut up even on the bad days and go to work or school or whatever. Autistic people aren’t constantly Rainman-ing their way through life, or constantly reenacting Sheldon from Big Bang Theory or whatever your popular conception is.

You’re already saying “she’s mostly not off”, so why is it so hard to believe that she has this disorder, or that it’s hard to take the next step and say “huh, she says that the medicine really helps and makes it easier for her, so I’ll believe her on that.”. I understand wanting the best and worrying about things like chemical dependency, but her doctor should be - and almost certainly IS - monitoring for this at regular checkups.

Still not a coup. This is straight up kidnapping. A coup by definition is internal.

Honestly, I can see that. A lot of suicides are spur-of-the-moment, and the more a person has to actively work at it, the less likely they are to actually follow through on the attempt. Even just those couple seconds of working at it to get a whole box of blister packs open could be enough for a lot of people to stop, think, and say “actually wait”.

In fact, this is something I could genuinely see multiple people in my own extended family saying.

This might also count under assault, depending on state laws. Someone turns up at my door with a fucking sword, a gun, and a belt full of chemical weapons, I’m definitely going to feel like he’s there to harm me, whether or not he says he is.

Sounds a bit like bite mark analysis - make up the result you want, then make the data (or test) fit.

Totally legal, all of that. The grenades require a $200 DD stamp each (don’t think the smokes do, unsure about tear gas - I know I bought smoke grenades for airsoft all the time back when I played), but everything there is totally legal from your local gun show or Bubba.

I’ll second my hero Mr Rogers.

We should all want to be like him.

It’s not about doing that. It’s all about the fact that he CAN, and that Miller and Hegseth and the rest of the Heritage Foundation sees the entirety of North and South America as potential vassal states at best and colonial plantations at worst.

People theorize that they’re installing extensions to the presidential bunker.

Oh no, this is intentional data harvesting from businesses. A lot of businesses also rely on the ESTA to travel to the US. All this data is gonna be trawled by the CIA, because the administration has openly stated one of their goals is to destabilize and break apart the EU. This way, you find weak points - who can be bought, who can be blackmailed, who can be easily tipped into radicalizing by putting them in connection with far-right influences in their country of origin.

It’s what the US did in Latin America, but updated for the digital age.

If you’re taking on a tank with gunfire, you’ll notice a problem real quick. The barbs there are meant to detonate anti tank rockets and missiles, too. The best way to take these out is mines or armor of your own.
