They think they can bribe fascists for favorable outcomes, but what they're still in denial about is that fascists do whatever they fuck they think will get the m them the most power in any given circumstance, including going back on promises (money paid, money taken), extorting for more money, and throwing anybody they want Uber the bus.

There's no making deals with fascists, there's only getting scammed by fascists.

Fascists love what the military and police represent (to them, strength and order) but any individual who deviates from the script is a traitor who deserves to have their life ruined or worse.

Just look at Kegbreath's speech to all the generals. Fascists don't care about reality (whether those generals were competent) but only care about the appearance of power (facial hair and too much weight around the middle don't "look powerful" and therefore are as bad as treason).

I had no hope of a general strike, but if Democrats continue to hold out on the budget then it might happen as families run out of food, government employees get evicted, and more and more MAGA become disillusioned.

So now I have a little hope, but still very little. It seems to me that the fascists want a general strike so they feel more justified in a military crackdown. Things are still going to get worse before they get better.

SCOTUS said POTUS is immune for official acts.

I'm sure there's no conflict of interest involved with that or anything, though. And besides, what could go wrong?

It certainly wouldn't be the desired outcome! But the point is that there's money to be made either way.

When the French Blue was stolen after the revolution, it was recut and probably became the Hope Diamond.

If they can't find a buyer, they'll melt it down and recut any gems that are too recognizable. Easy money, if you know the right people.

Do you have a source so I can learn more about this?

I expect the White House to add "wearing a chicken suit" to their list of signs that somebody is a terrorist any moment now.

Fascists say whatever gives them the most power in any situation, reality really isn't a factor.

 

Random question:

I play ukulele, and I've picked up a tenor guitar; is there a stringing or tuning I can use to make it playable as a ukulele?

I'm specifically looking for solutions that don't require using a capo.
