There are some workable solutions inside the nation as well, as the federal system is dismantled. If WA, OR, CA, HI, the tribal counsels, and maybe AZ and NM (if they can play nice) got together, we could do a number of things to shore up the left part of the US.

First, states are not subject to patent. Each could choose a critical, expensive medication and produce it, sharing supply around the compact. Tribes could easily make epi-pens for their share.

Second, tie this into a compact equivalent of a multi-state healthcare that creates a floor healthcare for all citizens. Hawaii could lead this effort, they essentially already have it in their state. Get to the point you can cover people with income up to $70,000/yr california equivalent (based on living expenses) and let healthcare companies create supplemental plans like for medicare.

Third, as trump wrecks FEMA, form compacts for emergency response with mexico and canada and among these states. This is not currently legal but if FEMA is gone, why not just do it and who cares.

Fourth, create cooperative food sharing among states for excess crops. Federal programs just got destroyed, and california has a lot of excess supply. Let the compact members have a market where they can, as states, buy excess for their food programs. Let the program deal as an entity with non-compact states, which isn’t controlling interstate commerce, feds, it’s just the free market at work using the power of liberty to make red states either meet the price or we look outside the US.

A lot of this just recreates existing structures that are being destroyed, but leaves the red states that destroyed them to fend for themselves.

Well that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

Europe needs to put troops in western Ukraine and say “come at me, bro” or they’re gonna end up having to do it anyway later against the stronger Russia.

The nsfw content, mostly.

You gotta admit, though, that 11-year-old boy might make a good Secretary of Defense after this one.

I might even bomb Yemen next month… I mean I’m not going to tell a reporter about it, though, I’m not as stupid as an 11-year-old boy.

In Egypt, leaders were buried with their property…

Long slow slide is the best we can offer you.

Same reason the people on 9/11 stayed in their seats - they thought they’d be fine if they waited it out.

Oh, did an airline stewardess walk by?

Got caught using the wrong glue is more accurate.

Do you mean academy award nominated actress MargotRobbie?

You jest, but futures can actually go negative. At one point during covid a tanker shortage meant you could be paid a few $100 to accept delivery of a barrel of crude. Some people were joking about filling their swimming pools.

Clearly you don’t frequent the NSFW forums

In trading we refer to tesla as a meme stock, or better, as shit beta. I have a theory a number of big interday players moved into memes when they started getting bigger, because the poor liquidity of the plays cause the market…. Because the people who sell the stock had to keep buying more stock to make the options they sold safer.

Tesla is up and down because it makes people money.

Sounds like you’ve achieved goatse post-nut clarity.

What do you mean by “go against?”

Assassination is right out. Too much to risk.

Cast shade on his politics? Easy. You can rent a large enough number of billboards around the country to start an influence campaign on the cheap, getting republicans to start asking if they’ve been betrayed. We’re talking a few million a year. Much as the republicans chipped at the dem base in the election, you just need to get enough of them angry to start the fighting and finger pointing in their own house.

Rent a few republican legislators and get them to start throwing a wrench in things? Doable, but you have to steer them a bit. Probably 2 to 3 times the cost of the billboards. You also need to make them feel they come out on top for the noise they make. Probably call them “the loyal trump faction” and have them go overboard demanding things faster than the american people will take.

Start a competitor to twitter? Probably lose 100mm a year to start, but it can be done.

There are lots of things you can do.

Are you open to orcs listening to Aqua?

Sometimes I choose this man’s ex-wife, but sometimes I have standards.

I understand if you fly two trump flags you are not only exceptional, you are even special.
