Trump insiders are working behind the scenes on detailed plans to amass his power so that he can carry out an unprecedented restructuring of the U.S. government and expand executive authority.
well yes, if they don't figure out a way to produce another generation of lead-poisoned brain-addled self-destructive malignant narcissists, the republican party will never survive!

The justice system is reticent to dole out consequences to conservatives because they know that each time they do, there is a fair probability of an uptick in domestic terrorism. We literally let the terrorists win. If we apply the law equally to fascists as we do to the rest of us, they will kill people with no remorse.
Y'all Qaeda is intellectually incapable of differentiating between terrorism and normal protest. This is why they view "left wing" protests about systemic issues as city-razing terrorist attacks that need the military dispatched with blanket kill orders. This is why they don't equate their club shooting, truck crowd-plowing, armed home-invader, electrical substation gunner terrorist friends as being a problem - because theyre just "protesting" like the left. The left is "already doing it" so they can too.
The actual word "terrorist", to them, is a word that means one thing: a filthy middle easterner who wants to blow up buildings to go to a virgin-filled afterlife. There's absolutely no mental space for them to consider their fellow conservatives in the same group or to accept the actual definition.
This is so dangerous. We're already in a trap, even if we turn around now, it hurts a lot. The smart greedy opportunists flock loudly and publicly to conservatism now because they see that they can break the law and get away with it, because of this implied immunity-via-terrorism that may befall us if accountability comes for them in the public eye. But we need to turn around and pull out, because if we get fully trapped, we're all done for good.
Giving reddit exactly what they want, huh, a huge influx of traffic?
They know this shit hypes people up. It gets the app installed... then it's not so bad to just keep it and browse it at that point. Then before you know it, spez was right. It blew over. He can treat his users like shit and they'll just take it like good little idiots.
No thanks. I don't intend to prove that asshole right.
I want general gun control. That's not what this is.
This is targeted at allowing right wing extremists and their police friends to continue to be armed while systematically discriminating against BIPOC and visibly LGBT individuals and preventing them from defending themselves. This puts people with demonstrated hard-right predilections in completely unaccountable positions of power to grant and deny the right to exercise a constitutional right.
This is conservatives pulling up the ladder after them, in the poison pill guise of a classic liberal agenda.
Our owner class here would, with their own two hands, slowly feed children into a wood chipper feet-first if it meant making a single penny. Most of the country can't pay attention, they're scrambling 24/7 to merely survive each day. The few who find a ledge to cling onto turn around and see the billionaires and the chippers, and instead of being disgusted, most start cheering it on because they've been lied to their whole lives. They've been told there is only enough ledge for them alone, and if more people "make it", they'll fall back down and be ripped apart. So they cheer and guide the travesties to secure their pittance, without ever looking up to see how much empty space there is.

Wow, I should think it should be some kind of regulatory concern that Reddit is artifically inflating traffic counts as they're approaching an IPO, no? For a company whose revenue comes from advertising and user impressions, lying about user traffic is lying about profitability.
