On “The Subversive and Revolutionary Act of Not Setting Things on Fire

No fire here: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/nation-world/man-drives-car-tesla-protesters/507-c2ad30f1-fbb1-4bbf-95e7-763572c0b102#ru8zt4z9dlatfy0qc75q0i4r9cmf6i6f3

On “All Set for the Big Feed

Believe me, no one's looking forward to the White Sox season this year!

On “Open Mic for the week of 3/17/25

From an English fried on Facebook:

"We're visiting the States in July. Just going through Facebook deleting posts about your political situation, just to be on the safe side..."

WTF have we become?

"

Unlike that other religion in the Middle East?

"

The money was in the form of R&D grants.

“The surveys they received asked several questions including whether … their university had recognised only two sexes - male and female.”

We are governed by idiots.

"

Heh. You got me there, sir.

On “The Subversive and Revolutionary Act of Not Setting Things on Fire

Much has been written about how the current political climate will give rise to more political violence. When people feel shut out by the government, on both sides of the aisle, you get this and what Schilling mentioned. Lots more coming, I fear.

Right? It's like our government is controlled by a bunch of internet trolls.

On “POETS Day! George Gascoigne, Birth of the Modern

Man, I miss Doonesbury. I'm sure you remember Zonker taking photosynthesis lessons from a plant on his quest for the George Hamilton championship.

We are governed by idiots.

I'd appreciate you not putting words in my mouth.

Hearts and minds, baby, hearts and minds.

Not being subject to random terror attacks is a laudable goal. Trying to reach it by causing more people to want to perpetrate them is a questionable strategy.

10/7 was hardly worse than 9/11, by the by.

On “Report: Trump to Sign Department of Education Elimination Executive Order

Imagine you woke up from a coma to read this passage:

"A White House fact sheet about the planned executive order called on Education Secretary Linda McMahon to “take all necessary steps” to facilitate the closure of the department “and return education authority to the States.” “The Order also directs that programs or activities receiving any remaining Department of Education funds will not advance DEI or gender ideology,” the fact sheet states."

Through the looking glass we go.

On “Open Mic for the week of 3/17/25

Good Lord, the only existential threat Hamas poses is to its own people.

On “The JFK Files Drop Today (Supposedly)

Those club championships aren't going to win themselves, buster.

"

"That is one magic loogie."

On “Spaghetti on the Wall: Autopens and Out to Lunch Presidents

"According to the Constitution, so long as you are elected, not born overseas, have lived in country for fourteen years, and are at least thirty-five years old, you can be president. That’s it. There’s no “of sound mind and body” clause for good anti-schemer reasons. If being out of touch – slightly or full-blown Jello Pudding smeared and calling everyone “Frieda” – were any type of disqualification we wouldn’t have need for the 25th Amendment and all it’s increments."

The lede was buried good and deep in this one.

"

Whatever works for you, my friend.

"

Addendum: if we're going to treat every raving utterance on Truth Social as a constitutional crisis, we're in for a long 4 years of very dull conversation on this site.

"

This is like asking the Jewish question in 1933. How about that? Trump is providing an answer for a question that was never asked.

Besides, as DavidTC pointed out below, there is no signature requirement.

If you want a real constitutional crisis, here ya go: https://www.axios.com/2025/03/16/trump-white-house-defy-judge-deport-venezuelans.

I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!!!
