Ok, now I want one. Pi powered CV to identify fire, and maybe figure out a way to identify what type of fire.

Trump spends his weekends on golf courses in the middle of high density populations. They’re essentially impossible to actually secure. It would take a really good shot, but a .22 would have the range. On top of that, even Google maps has satellite pics of the course and surrounding area.

Facing the US military head on is suicide, and the police have far more personnel. They’re not even a worthwhile target to begin with. There’s a reason the super wealthy like the Koche bro’s or the Murdochs live on compounds in the middle of nowhere. The open empty space forces anyone going after them to get visibly close to their highly paid, and very effective, security teams.

Remember that we had to fight a world war before we got to decide that just following orders wasn’t an excuse?

There are steps between ‘Human rights and abuse of power’ before we get to ‘put on trial for atrocities’. We’re not preparing for those steps right now.

How about you first?

Would be the far more polite version of my response. Not violent, but a lot less diplomatic.

Something else, very similar motif. It’s a sci-fi pulp novel.

They known it’s not free stuff. It’s entirely PR.

I think the story neuromancer had workers who would show up have their brain chip turn them into meat puppets for 8 hours then they would wake up not knowing what they had done to earn their checks. It was a cheap labor scheme for day workers or prostitutes. I still think that’s really the capitalist goal.

Pretty sure that’s the Boeing 777 and they discovered that after a crash off Brazil.

I use autopilot all the time on my boat. No way in hell I’d trust it in a car. They all occasionally get suicidal. Mine likes to lull you into a sense of false security, then take a sharp turn into a channel marker or cargo ship at the last second.

It will be. They have immunity. It’s entirely performative intimidation.

By federal marshals who don’t give a fuck. Because they already did it to a state judge, they’ll go after federal next.

There are less than 2000 federal judges, the Federalist Society has over 70,000 members. They have the man power and motivation to replace them over night. At which point the law says what the fuck they want it to.

What’s stopping them isn’t that they lack the resources to seize total control. It’s that they lack the resources to maintain control. And they’re never going to have them.

They’re expecting the judges to push back so they have an excuse to get rid of the judges.

I said nothing about being disarmed, or losing.

Holy crap, is that a tariff price or are they WAY too proud?

Of course it is, Bezos is selling 8647 merch right now and there’s not a peep about it.

Pretty sure I pull up with a semi full of fertilizer and I’d be their bestest friend.

I didn’t say armed resistance doesn’t work. I said your gun isn’t going to work.

If the government comes for me, they’re bringing more people than I can shoot. The first answer to that, is to prevent that from happening through political action. The second is that you don’t respond to that with a gun.

Everyone on Ruby ridge was armed, everyone in Waco was armed. They’re all dead for their troubles. A gun won’t fix that problem.

They’re looting on the way out. America is already cooked, this is the wealthy squeezing the last drops of wealth out.
