They likely want technologically potently armed paramilitary groups too. Whose members they will pardon after they commit harm.

Game theoretically, the Democrats can't flip as many new seats via gerrymandering in Blue states as the Republicans can in Red States. We're chessed off the board. Republicans knew from the start: If you can't beat 'em, cheat. And they knew they'd win.
Something's gotta gov. Amid glaring, rampant market failure. A modest proposal: Let's never call cuts to gov't. "deregulation". But rather "deprotection". Include the ENDS and the BENEFITS of governance--not just means and costs--to protect people and the environment.
We're a mindless, pre-Enlightenment, fatalistic, traditional, anti-science, anti-modern, anti-rationality, authoritarian banana republic. My plan to offer a positive vision for the future of Technological Citizenship with rights for all amid potent tech harms and the need for innovation may fail.
RFK Jr. is a quack. His acts of commission and omission will cause many diseases and deaths. He will pour money down conspiracy rabbit holes chasing crank ideas about causality. That Lysenkoistic child must be impeached. In the name of public health. And reason.
The current state of our vaccine regime under quack RFK Jr. and authoritarian Trump? Lysenkoism To be precise Always begins with Lies and lice
Well. So. Perhaps Trump WON'T cancel the midterm elections after all. These requirements to show up nationally--then be harassed--plus gerrymandering nationally will override his manifest unpopularity. The cornered rat does things like that.
Cracker Barrel adopts new logo, then revers to the old logo with white, rural old timer. Names for this: Crackerdammerung Porch Putsch It's Still Rockin' Chair to Me Try Doing That In a Small Mind Barreled Interest
We're cooked.
That is how authoritarian regimes protect their incumbency.
Just bring yourself.
Harvard doesn't own Trump in escrow the way Putin does. Putin escrow. He has put us all in escrow to Putin. And Putin escrow sounds like puttanesca. From the Italian word putta. For garbage and prostitute. Both linked to the seafood dock based sauce.
AI, AI, Oh!
The Neville Chamberlainiest!
Plus, there were real vs. imaginary acts of violence, chaos, deaths on January 6. And, per Trump, "reality is for losers." Another instance of Trump hip pocket hypocrisy.
Metricize. Monetize. Matricize. Use numbers. Use tables. Use charts.
Hip pocket hypocrisy.
Right wingers are denying reality.
Gestapo tactics. Gestapo mentality.
I just returned from a 5 day trip to LA. Alas, I never saw any black billboards.
Gold-- dingler---!
Patron-clientelistic system of cronyism. Akin to any organized crime syndicate. or autocratic nation. But. That's Texas.
Market failure. Private greed. Something's gotta gov. I have always relied on the kindness of strictures. My mama told me, you'd better chaperone. Govern or give in. Referee or retrogress.
Externalities that are disutilities? Something's gotta gov. Free lunches on launches are paid for by our lungs.
I actually submitted to the New York Times the verb "frogboil"within a list of neologisms I have coined. Part of an op-ed essay. Insidious incrementalism. The ratchet access of wretched excess. These things must be done . . . delicately! The current march to authoritarianism? Oddly fast.
Take the money and conceal.
Patron-clinetelistic cronyism. Just like any dictatorship. Or any organized crime syndicate.
The problem with prevention is that it is difficult to metgricize, monetize the long-term benefits. Even the short-term ones. And the low-visibility, high magnitude costs of non-prevention? Usually ignored by the public.
Something's gotta gov. Not ignore.
Amid climate change, market failure something's gotta gov. But governance is even retreating from protecting us from anthropocentric, complicated techno harms to food, drugs, water, air, workplaces, banking, etc. The social contract has been sundered. As has our citizenship.
Nacho anscestor's snack.
It's all about failures of disaster warning communications networks. Identifiable, named people are answerable, culbable, liable for those failures. Let's make them pay. And iteratively, deter future failures of communication. Anything else is wilfully creating a situation of moral hazard.
Or. We'll muddle-manage.
Lawless Texas. Can't live with it. Can't expel it.
The Last Frontier is the Lawless Frontier. And it skews pro-male. Pro-bro.
Meanwhile in deep red Texas . . .
A failure in the provision of public information. Accountability. There's a "there" there where the buck better start stopping.
Vindictive, insecure panjandrum, Trump.
Amid greed and market failure, something's gotta gov. Espcially regarding hazards, harms that are complicated to monitor and detect. And that rquire expertise, special equipment. Govern or give in.
A clear and present danger to our civlization. Pure. Simple. Whole. Complete.
Soemthing's gotta gov. Govern or give in.
Who put the scam in the scam-a-dam-a ding-dong?
This bris-- this bris-----!
Yes. And Senators from tiny rural states that shouldn't even be states--half of the names of rural "states" sound like the names one would give to mid-price sport utility vehicles--will suffer no political consequences.
Trump's patrons in the fossil fuel industry slime climate science. That leads to knowledge about harmful mpacts and to policies that causse governance which impose some costs on people in the industry. They likely also support sliming of vax science. Because, structurally, they want no science.
Black billboard lives mutter.
Quid por ho.
Crook. A clear and present danger to the Constituton. To the rule of law. And to common decency.
If the bombing or Iran leads to a widening of the war in the Middle East, the provision of Iran by Putin with nuclear weapons, missiles, intractable chaos and insecurity, it is because Trump did not exercise prospective D'OH!!! diligence.
A certain elected official now strategizing whether to join the Israel-Iran conflict appears to be taking advice form the global interventions strategy consulting firm of Lurch Blunder and Mire.
Something's gotta gov.
Amid externalities that are disutilites, complicated to detect and control, and amid glaring market failure, something's gotta gov. I have always relied on the kidness of stricture. Govern or give in. My mama told me, you'd better chaperone. Referee or retrogress. Harnessed we is the best polity.
I know is iterative game theorectic strategy. By hollowing out federal agencies, the people will no longer recieve the protections. services agencies provide. Then, Trump, his cabinet members, allies on the right can shriek that "government doesn't work!" Self-fulfilling prophecy.
Apropos to nothing in particular, What is the sound of one quag miring?
Market failure and greed in complicated society. Something's gotta gov.
Public input is key to accountability. And countervailing tethers of account constitute checks and balances that are key to freedom from tyranny and harm. And positively, to control our environment, outpus, outcomes. So that they comport with our wishes. And thus affirm our agency for free will.
Every hen house has its fox. A clear affront to Technological Citizenship and the social contract for the technoscientific society.
That could be a job title. Salami brandisher. My job title? Parfait evaluator.
That pathetically confused, self-verifying little boy needs to pay the consequences of his vicious assaults on people at companies that were exercising due diligence. And operating truthfully. In pursuit of fair elections. Punish financially. Deter. Avoid moral hazard.
Denial is a river that runs deep and long.
Vought is a clear and present danger to the American Constitution and to the American social contract. Pact for the journey. His efforts must be stopped in all ways possible. Courts. Media. Academe.Businesses if possible. NGOs. Foundations. We the People.
Both Vietnam and Iraq confronted us with the sound of one quag miring. How mired the quag.
Senator Padilla was only trying to pruse accountability of illegal and unconstitutional acts. Accountability of acts that impact us is the essence of freedom. Unconditional power and lack of account constitute the very meaning of tyranny.
Environmental Justice is a major instance of my model/ideal of Technological Citizenship and the social contract for the technoscientific society. I am sorry to see EJ denigrated as a policy concept by the current regime. Is that one of the terms the Trump gov't has banned from use?
He was voted most likely to be pardoned. And. Most likely to move to Qatar to flee extradition.
I have compsed several parody songs in the style of the Beach Boys. Their style is nothing less than its own genre. And a genre for which we are all tankful. Even the Beatles used it. "Back in the USSR!"
The faul, dear Brutus.
It requires a lot of chutzpah to tell anyone from the Wrecking Crew what to do! They practially invented backup playing. But when you're 23 years old!
NO KINGS DIDN'T WE ONCE SEND A "DEAR JOHN" TO DOUR GEORGE III? A sign I may carry Saturday at the "No Kings" rally in DC. Far from the autocratic junta parade.
Give Trump a tube of K-Y lubricant jelly. And instruct him to enjoy himself. That would save money, MAGA cultists being whipped into a pro-autocratic junta frenzy, wear and tear in DC. Trump would still get his endorphin, dopamine rush. Before the Pareto optimality passes by.
Please, let's rein in this charade.
A certain insecure little child could gain the same benefits sought with a large parade with the self-application of K-Y lubricant jelly. Think of the savings in cost. And in the savings of embarrassment of this nation globally that replacing that parade would bring.
Attacks on science in public health benefit the attacks on all science. And bring less public protection governance for the fossil fuel industry. RFK Jr.'s presidential campaign attracted contributions from all industries concerned with a structuralist assault on all science, governance.
We're waiting for the other jackboot to drop.
Eh?
Why do all journalists in all media refer to the forming and coalescing of often peaceful protests against ICE in Los Angeles as "eruptions" of protests? This term is fraught. And pejorative. Readers should complain about the use of this editorializing verb via letters to the editors.
And yes. The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross trully were "Judas you #$%&@! You are the kinkiest!"
I have money on a colossall reconciliation. You can't have a reconciliation that the base desperately craves unless you first have a split. Reverse engineering. Rig. Rip. Repair. Reap. Cf. the tariff imposition/removal manipulation. And parallel stock trading insiders conducted.
Cronyism. Self-"governance". With zero external, independent accountability. Solipsism.
To one who is so insecure they must be venereated and self-gratified by an elaborate, costly, garish, vaguely, ominiously authoritarian military pageant, I offer a workaround. Gleefully present that person with a tube of K-Y lubricant jelly. Then Instruct that person, "Go enjoy yourself."
Ideology and cronyism over merit.
Neologism O' Day Emirateization--using a single trip to the Middle East to visit several Emirate nations--plus Saudi Arabia--in a single flight east to exchange support of those nations by the U.S. amid bad policies, human rights violations for personal gifts. Aka Kush and Curry.
Teach---- Your children well--!
Insolent, callow, entitled youth.
We're in denial---! We're in denial---! We cope through strategy That helps us get along!
No-trial denial. Weed 'em and reap.
Natch. We invented the Solo cup.
In situations of market failure--natural disasters--something's gotta gov. Federal government. By gutting FEMA, Trumpsters can then say this "proves" that "government doesn't work". Self-fulfilling prophecy. Tens of millions will fall for it. Because. They *want* to.
The courts can stop this. But then, iteratively, game theoretically, Trump, his oligarchs, autocrats can defy court orders. Per Erwin Chemerinsky, courts can only make orders *binding* via arrest of officials by U.S. Marshals. Run by DOJ. Under the POTUS. Catch-22. Game over. Rig? Rigged.
Jaunty juxtaposition. Storage of physical stuff truly requires wise whys. Do people ever actually recover the junk? Then use the junk modularly, temporarily? Cf. the New Yorker fiction piece by T.C. Boyle on a firm that seems bent on storing one's possessions, then selling them. For a fee!
JD Vance Rushed To Walter Reed After Inner Hillbilly Returns
To ignorant, insecure voters, cruelty sells. According to Musk, empathy is "civilization's greatest weakness". I guess when you have over $400 billion.
Do they matter?
I guess he has never sung hurricane carols.
Who put the kar in the karma-Darwin ding-dong?
Something's gotta gov. Because. Soft power saves lives. And soft power makes the U.S. more secure.
Psychotic, solipsistic little child, Vought. Also, a bootlicker.
Metaphor becomes reality. And becomes worthy of recusal. Perhaps of censure.
The shrieking hypocrisy of that Administration.
