I mean, I could be remembering wrong, but didn't Trump bring in his own private security early in the transition, because the Secret Service wasn't up to his team's basic standards?
So they're doing this to force him to go back to paying for his own, superiorly trained security instead of the tax-paid freebie that former presidents normally get?
That's a bad thing? It ain't like the man can't afford the best.
"Biden inauguration in two weeks. Be sure to attend, we'll be playing tons of fun games, including: dominos on pasta OR cheese (please RSVP and indicate your preference), pin your hands on the toddler with special entry prizes for all participants (valued at over $19k, and you keep the included furniture), and a sleek and exciting updated version of "Mother May I" called "You Don't Need Mommy's Permission To Consent, So Just Stay Quiet Or Else Bad Things Will Happen" (patent pending, per resolution of dispute with the Epstein Estate.) We will also be providing hotdogs and cheese pizza in the swimming pool for all guests. Note: food will not be served at the venue, so be sure to dine well before arriving."
CNN: "President Trump asks about Wakandan citizenship process / immigration laws, says he wants to move to a country where they share mostly similar ideals with him. Here's how that's hateful, bigoted, and proves that Black Panther is literally white supremacy."
"Techno-meritocracies are racist, and I don't get how anyone could possibly entertain the idea that a technologically superior, homogenous society with shared values could ever be a good thing. Seriously, that's the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard. Where do people come up with this bigoted shit? Anyway, that's why I'll be voting twice for Biden in 2020." - Chadwick Boseman, posthumous interview.
Back in the olden days, you'd shoot your enemy and then take their ammo, perpetuating violence like a daisychain limited only by the number of strung out bullets you could find.
Now, it'd be like "Score! One hundred commies dead in one day, that's a new personal record! Time to go see what the spoils of war are... uh... okay. I've got 73 weaponized pink dildos, 27 purple assault dildos, 99 buttplugs in assorted colors and furry designs, a rusted bike lock on a chain without a key, several cardboard signs, and one dull replica Japanese katana. FUCK. Anyone want to trade? Looking for ammo here folks, any caliber, any quantity. What's that, Jimmy, you've been out for weeks, now you're just throwing tampons at the enemies? Christ, and that actually kills them? 8 confirmed in the last hour? Well, shit. Alright, I'll take a dozen boxes of whatever you've got in heavy flow."
Assessment
We assessed the two Tweets referenced above under our Glorification of Violence policy, which aims to prevent the glorification of violence that could inspire others to replicate violent acts and determined that they were highly likely to encourage and inspire people to replicate the criminal acts that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
This determination is based on a number of factors, including:
President Trump’s statement that he will not be attending the Inauguration is being received by a number of his supporters as further confirmation that the election was not legitimate and is seen as him disavowing his previous claim made via two Tweets (1, 2) by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Scavino, that there would be an “orderly transition” on January 20th.
The second Tweet may also serve as encouragement to those potentially considering violent acts that the Inauguration would be a “safe” target, as he will not be attending.
The use of the words “American Patriots” to describe some of his supporters is also being interpreted as support for those committing violent acts at the US Capitol.
The mention of his supporters having a “GIANT VOICE long into the future” and that “They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!” is being interpreted as further indication that President Trump does not plan to facilitate an “orderly transition” and instead that he plans to continue to support, empower, and shield those who believe he won the election. Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021.
As such, our determination is that the two Tweets above are likely to inspire others to replicate the violent acts that took place on January 6, 2021, and that there are multiple indicators that they are being received and understood as encouragement to do so.
Or in other words, "we choose to interpret these statements as inciting violence, therefore they are inciting violence." Or in other, other words, "We're pretending to be the mind readers from Minority Report, and find President Trump guilty of precrime."
Colonel Graff: Tell me why you kept on kicking him. You had already won.
Ender Wiggin: Knocking him down won the first fight. I wanted to win all the next ones, too. So they'd leave me alone.
Something that most people miss on the first readthrough is that everyone our little innocent wuvvable child soldier with a heart of gold Ender fought? Died. Even the elementary schoolyard bully Stilson in the aforementioned quote.
It was that unique combination of "please stop, I don't want to hurt anyone :-(" with "you pressed my go button, time to fucking kill you :D" that won the Formic War.
Ender's Game used to be required reading in the military. Wonder why...
(follow behind them with matching spray paint and once they leave, "finish" the tag by spraying the bricks and windows with the same message, then cackle like Hillary as the "artist" gets angry phone calls all GODDAMNIT I SAID NOT THE BRICKS YOU STUPID FUCK NEVER HIRING YOU AGAIN! that we record as evidence?)
Sir, please take your meds.
Look fat, uh so the you know the you're kidding me! You dog faced one horse pony soldiers have been doing the thing for an electoralizapribbmadp. I'm going to laugh at Joe Biden, man, he's not even president, Xee is, and he owns one of the best calls collect internabitionality. C'mon, man!
Much better. I understood you clearly that time.
local moms set up a "Fuck this shit" website
Also known as NIMBY -- not in my backyard!
"Help the homeless, desperate, and needy? What an absolutely wonderful idea full of Christian charity, I think everyone should open their hearts and do their part to WHOA WHAT THE FUCK GET THAT GODDAMN SHELTER OUTTA MY NEIGHBORHOOD, I PAY HEFTY HOA FEES SPECIFICALLY TO AVOID RIFFRAFF LIKE THAT CREEPING IN!!!"
It's a demoralization tactic known as information overload.
Consider: you want to know whether the water from your tap is safe to drink.
In the olden days, you'd try different things. You'd take a sip and see if you died, you'd ask your parents if they used lead piping when they built the place, you'd run over to the library and see if your town has access to freshwater aquifers and clean wells, yadda yadda yadda. A large number of options, but a finite and accessible number.
Nowadays, you type "is tap water safe to drink" into Xiigle and you get "about 863,000,000 results" for your query, from random Buzzfeed "top taps" lists to the EPA issuing their constant shady "even with pollutants, probably okay to drink" proclamations, nutjobs who loudly scream that dihydrogen monoxide is toxic to mammals, news articles about people in Jumaniqadan who turned into frogs after drinking straight from a spigot, health gurus who claim that the only way to purify your almonds and activate your inner chi is to drink Taoitian tap water imported from Nantucket, medical journalists and bloggers who spend 30 paragraphs getting around to "yeah, it's okay", ...
... and you go "Fuck it, I don't like the taste, ergo tap water is literally poison. Good enough." and never bother wasting time on the topic again.
Furthermore, there are stress limits to be considered with shipping. When I worked for Amazon, 30k a night was a sleeper night for our facility, bring your favorite blankie and a bottle of warm milk. 35k a night was a slam night, all hands on deck, no time for the daily meeting everyone OUT OUT OUT.
What's the difference between 30k and 35k? That's like, merely 16% more, right? Far less than USPS's 75% increase, in fact!
Well, a facility optimized to handle approximately 32-33k a night simply CANNOT do 35k. And Amazon is one of the top in the game, so if they struggle to adjust to high volume, what does failing USPS gotta say?
Oh, you've got congestion as packages slam into each other and clog the belt, worker fatigue as the expectancy increases but the availability of work plummets (so instead of 300 packages an hour per person with 300 packages smoothly flowing to your lane every hour, you've got 400 packages an hour per person as the expectancy with 200-250 packages flowing and another 100-150 stuck in the turnabout, assuming the belt doesn't break down from overload which it will), poor communications and crisis management (the people who should be problemsolving and electronic man-in-the-middling when the wifi goes down and all our scanners are offline are over on Belt C taking turns at the pinata trying to whack a stuck package with a broomstick), and a shitton more that'll go wrong as morale plummets and little issues pile up. (People going home because "fuck 400 packages an hour, I'm applying for shift manager and I can't afford another automatic writeup for falling below quota!", people injuring themselves because they're working sloppy to keep up, compounding errors that lead to a crashed end of shift, etc).
Just a handful of the issues that crop up. It isn't a linear equation, all "add 50% more work, we become 50% less effective, no problem we'll just bring in double staff", but a scaling equation all "even 10% more work can make us 50% less effective, and it just gets worse from there, with no way to fix this shit so we now have twice as many people earning paychecks to twiddle their thumbs".
If you depleted then how does injecting others make them high?
Ritonavir is an antiviral with no psychoactive components. At most, side effects include nausea and loss of appetite. There was no high in the first place. They just got prescribed drugs for their HIV and decided to share the needle with their friends.
Jenkem is a inhalant form of hydrogen sulfide (toxic in small doses) made from human shit that has been fermented for weeks.
Fly burgers are literally burgers made out of mayflies. They catch as many as they can (no shortage since they encourage the "free protein" to breed in waterways and lakes), smoosh them into a rough patty shape, eat them raw, then wonder why they keep catching diseases like cholera and dysentery.
And to really rock your world, Whoonga is ritonavir. Addicts will wait until the high wears off, then draw blood from a vein and inject it into their friends to share what is left of the buzz. Ritonavir is, for those who don't know, an antiviral with no psychoactive components (no high ffs) that is only prescribed to patients with HIV/AIDS.
Excuse me, bigot, not everybody has tactile sensation.
It's 2020 and we still don't have gustatory / olfactory translators for our otherly-abled peers? I'm literally shaking rn, how is Joe Biden supposed to understand his own speeches if he can't sniff them?
I've said it before, nobody pays attention to the signer or cares what he does. He's a token included merely to appear inclusive. I asked my friend what she thought of them, and she just shrugged and said "I didn't notice, I was too busy trying to read Biden's lips. Wtf?"
So we need to get one of our own guys in there, and just have them sign frustrated anti-Bidenism nonstop. It'd make most deaf people laugh, if they even noticed in the first place, and it'd probably be a few weeks before that one angry liberal with a doctorate degree in pidgin Mexican ASL came forth to scream "NO, 'I wish I were deaf so I wouldn't have to hear this malarkey, by the way nobody voted for this fuckwit' IS NOT AN ACCURATE TRANSLATION OF 'Builette Backstaerrhychisma and c'mon man you know the Busted uhhh the Bester the Boiled Brat Butter', AND I'M OFFENDED ON BEHALF OF DEAF PEOPLE EVERYWHERE!"
Bonus points: America has been at war since the 90s, since we never "left" the Middle East conflict.
Which makes this 'in the heat' under martial law, and dramatically expedites how quickly you can start executions. Less "due process and wait until the defense has rested" and more "sounds good enough to me, give that man his last meal in a to-go bag, because the firing squad isn't getting any more overtime."
While I have your attention, please sign this bipartisan "Stop Rape Forever" bill.
10% of all funding will go towards hypothetical preventative measures to theoretically reduce rape by some marginal percentage, a goal we can all get behind.
(90% of all funding goes to the Clinton Foundation.)
Walk in wearing one of those masks and some ski goggles, and when the bank manager asks you to take it off and put on something more appropriate, explain that sorry, you recently tested positive for COVID and don't want to risk even temporary exposure.
