    I didn't think it was possible for him to get even weirder.

    That sounds an awful lot like a standard unhinged Trump rant. Is Steven Cheung a real person, or is this the new "John Barron"?

    If Drumpf has to testify in the Carrol case, there won’t be enough :corn: in NYC to meet the demand. There may not be any criminal consequences, but it could be a truly mortifying experience for someone who’s never been held accountable for anything in his life. I'm offering an even money prop bet on whether he develops a last minute “health issue” before the trial starts. Any takers? :congress:

    Cult 45 is an interesting cult in that it's leader is physically separate from the members. This does make a difference when it comes to the police taking the leader. Not that I think the police will, but if they did you would have a chance to break more cult members away. You are also not going to get the violent protect the leader to the death response that other cult leaders had. You will also miss the suicide pact.

    Other cults that self destruct or die by police have the cult actually surround an immobile leader. In this case their leader is in communication with them from a distance. This has a very important impact on the cult. This means that most actions of the authorities or actions against the cult from outsiders don't endanger the mass of the cult. This means the leader cannot achieve critical mass of fear and persecution. Most of the cult never fears the immediate need to fight, and the ones that do pop in individual instances far away from the others and cannot initiate a charge for an explosion of violence.

    Even Jan 6th could not maintain it's momentum because there was no pressure and people were not cornered to fight. I think one of the good things Obama actually showed us was his restraint when the Bundy cult took over the government building. Despite obvious calls to surround the building and take the terrorists out, he just waited. He never enclosed on them and attacked like at Waco Texas Branch Dividian compound. They eventually got tired and surrendered without a massive casualty event or real firefight.

    Trump is going to fail to rile people up to a point of a massive violent action because his supporters are not under pressure to respond violently. He won't be able to get them all to commit suicide because that is not his thing, and if it became his thing there is no imminent threat of the "camp" being destroyed by the outsiders.

    I hope the FBI and world takes note of how cult 45 reacts because wew have to learn not to compress the cult to the end fight.

    I don't know why. People sent them pallets worth of gummi dicks to eat.
    All that gummi should have given them quite the sugar rush.

    Turtledove is a piece of work. I was twitter friends with him for over a year, had several ongoing conversations with him, and this because I very much enjoyed several of his novels.

    But I made the mistake of disagreeing with him once about the nature of the Confederacy, teased him about being a 'genuine Kentucky Colonel' as the nice Lost Causers gave him because he was very friendly to the concept that slavery was definitely going to fade away soon in the CSA, and he absolutely lost his shit, made multiple posts screaming at me, called me a troll then blocked me.

    Ah well, never meet your idols - or at least your favorite authors. His WWII 'Worldwar/Colonization' books were fantastic, and I really enjoyed his Videssos and Crosstime series. The 'Guns of the South' I never picked up because I knew the premise would annoy me.

    Hell, I talked to Michael Moorcock on his forums several times, great fantasy author who wrote Elric and the Eternal Champions series, stuff that introduced the multiverse and the concepts of alignment to epic fantasy. I asked him why he trashed Tolkein and Heinlein in his Starship Stromtroopers essay, he admitted he did it because he needed the notoriety as his books weren't selling. He never even read Starship Troopers, and his attack on Tolkein wasn't one he personally believed. Peachy. LOL.

    I cannot believe people still associate Bill with McDonalds after president Lumpy who's fatty mass was at least 99 percent McDonald grease trap waste.

    Not sure about joke, as easy as he is to joke ABOUT, but it seems more and more evident he's losing whatever grip he may have recently had on sanity.

    Facepalm, FF? I thought you hate Trump.
    Oh, right, you hate him, but everything you should hate about him is a liberal conspiracy.
    How that logic works is anyone's guess.

    That’s not why I facepalmed your post I facepalmed it because you still believe in the debunked Russian collusion propaganda that the Clinton campaign spewed out there.
