  • I’m not trying to be a pessimist, but this is the same kind of logic J6ers used in 2021. They believed that the election was stolen and tried to invade the capitol as a result.

    And if they had been right, it would have been justified. The problem is that they had zero evidence of a stolen election. Trump went to court over 60 times to get the election overturned, and never once produced a shred of evidence that the election was stolen from him, even when it was in front of judges he personally appointed. The January 6th rioters were basing their actions on nothing more than right-wing propaganda.

    In contrast, Trump is openly signaling that he is going to ignore the Constitution (or unilaterally alter it) and run for a third term. A January 6th style riot would be justified in this case (if all legal routes fail), because if he is allowed to get away with this, what’s stopping him from just handing his fourth presidency to Donald Jr, then Barron, and so on?











  • Let’s be clear: This type of person eats a very specific kind of potato salad that consists only of potatoes, mayo, and the tears of every customer service manager that dares cross her path.

    Potato salad is like chili and meatloaf. It’s not a recipe so much as it is a formula with many variables. You can make it boring and bland, or you can make it exciting and delicious. There are no rules except for what’s in the name.

    I love potato salad because I make it how I like it, which includes a lot of spices and vegetables and other stuff. I don’t think I’ve ever made it the same way twice.
