Google what exactly? I made everything up myself, you're claiming it's, an advertisement for, what, exactly? There's no real companies even mentioned. There's a radio station that comes up in British Columbia that's close, but not the same frequency.

So you've made a claim, and now you're putting the burden of proof on me. That's the kind of conspiracy theory BS that we need to leave on reddit. I'll look around, but I know you're full of shit, because I am the author. Share your citations.

Archer, he's got the case! Don't let him get away! Calm down Lana, it's empty. I hid it in Ray's wheelchair while he was distracted.

You did what now? I hid... the plutonium, Lana, it's this new thing called SPY CRAFT!

What part of extremely unstable and radioactive did you not understand?!

Well, apparently the core concept, Lana. Who do I look like, Marie Curie?

...

Wooooo!

I was waiting for someone to spot that.

BS . I made this from scratch after watching a music video I thought was funny.

And what happens when one of his Republican boot lickers buddies get into office? They can either undo it and let him go or use similar justification to imprison their political rivals even if it's not as clear cut.

It would be much better for the justice system to handle it. If they don't, then maybe Biden will need to, but as I said, that is an overall loss if he is forced to.

Couldn't be further from what I want. What I don't want to do is to give the Republicans, or any party reason to argue that whatever measures are taken against Trump are not lawful. It needs to be unambiguous that he violated the law of the land and establish that precedent so that executive action is not required, encouraged, needed or possibly even allowed. Otherwise we have accomplished literally nothing to protect our democracy, quite the opposite, in fact. Presidential decree is not law and can't be expected to survive one administration to the next.

Calling it his number 1 job is hyperbole unless it stands up in court. And if it does, I will agree with you, just show me the court case.

That's the point of checks and balances; to draw a clear separation of power.

Flexing his power to attack his political rivals is exactly what he needs to avoid doing. That is what Trump is doing and has been doing and that is the problem. If Biden has to step in, we've already failed.

It is in everyone's best interest that the current President does not do anything other than watch the justice system play out, just like every other US citizen.

There is no action that he can take that will not make things worse.

Plus masks aren't 100% barriers anyay. Still going to be exposed to some, just less. Honestly ongoing limited mask usage in large public spaces just makes sense.

I guess we'll see how much worse that is than being raised by good ol' fashion network television.

Well, traditional news sources have lowered the bar enough that social media isn't really much worse in a lot of cases. Especially considering how many "news" there is about social media content; it makes it seem that something like Twitter is the "source" that the news is citing. The lines have been blurred, seemingly intentionally so it's hard to blame people for not having a good barometer who grew up in an ecosystem of generalized enshitification.

Literally having smaller cars available to buy would help. There are very few cheaper aka smaller car options, and even fewer that are marketed well. They have no reason to make small cars when they have spent decades cultivating the market for SUVs and trucks.
