    It’s NOT illegal to form an alternative government of the United States as a micronation with a distinct name, flag, anthem and coat of arms and such (and you can still pay taxes to the current US government and call that “aid”). Forming a micronation is NOT the same as being a sovereign citizen.

    It’s NOT illegal to say "with a mortar launcher’ because it’s definitely an incomplete sentence.

    Rather than a front page obit wouldn’t it be great if Congress and Senate just did their job and legally removed him.

      I concur. The fact that his death seems like the only way we will be rid of him is a bigger problem than trump.

      What about the next person who does all this. Like Vance ?

    I agree.

    The front page of every newspaper in the country has never so desperately needed an obituary on it.

    Now I know what you might be thinking: never? What about that one time in the 1940s? Not even then, because even if that fucker LIVED he was on the cusp of capture. He was no longer a threat even before his obituary showed up

    This time I have no faith or hope that the threat may actually be nullified at all otherwise.

    I thought for sure that if nothing else, the CIA would have done it. He got a ton of them killed for no reason last time. Seems like it would have been simple self-preservation.

      That kind of situation is a nice demonstration that economic theories which rely on people acting logically (Smith, Marx, etc.) are not true. People are mostly driven by intangible factors like ideology, loyalty, and complacency.

      They may have also meant using the 25th amendment to remove the president like their legal system allows for if Congress and the Senate weren’t completely bought by the fascist billionaire class that owns the presidency as well.

          JD would love it though. Guy cannot wait to get promoted and gets a lil pep in his step every time Trump has yet another mystery hospital visit. Literally the only upside of Trump making it through his full term is that JD wouldn’t get the satisfaction of being president.

              I think we need a better word. Charisma feels so weird in this context. It’s more like dung beetles being attracted to shit, or roaches slurping up rotten food waste. Trump’s got no rizz. The shit-king attracts his children.

        Wouldn’t that apply anywhere? Even in North Korea you’re physically able to say whatever you want. What happens after is the problem.

Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very “off topic”.

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren’t unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
