Why doesn’t Biden just have Trump and the conservative SC judges shot for treason? It’d be an “official act” and therefore OK according to conservatives, after all. It’d make the world in general a better place, and also help stop the US sliding (further…) into fascism

Ah right I get you, a “how is he still kicking” instead of “why hasn’t someone fed him to a wood chipper”
But! “Abysmal” comes from “abysm”:
| əˈbɪz(ə)m |
an abyss: the abysm from which nightmares crawl.
Clearly “the system” isn’t capable of handling the threat of right-wing extremism and something needs to be done, but anybody murking Trump would probably make things worse, not better. He’d become a conservative martyr, and they could point to his death and say “see, we told you they’re violent” and use it to deepen hatred and oppression. This is what happened after the failed assassination attempt on Robert Fico
Whether that manifesto’s “reliable”, well, we’ll have to see. That recent immunity move by the SC is already a big step in the direction that Project 2025 wants to take the US in with their “unitary executive theory” bullshit – everything doesn’t hinge on Trump.
Far as Trump’s disavowals go, I’ll believe it when I see it – that man lies as easily as he breathes. I’ll be happily surprised if it does turn out he wasn’t lying, but that’s not going to be my default assumption. And it’s not like Project 2025 hinges on his enthusiastic support of the Project, just its goals – if he wins Trump is the one choosing which recommendations he’ll follow, and I don’t find it very believable that he wouldn’t be interested in eg. expanding executive power.
Lastly, that “Washington Post report” is another one of those vague articles featuring “according to sources familiar”.
That’s going to be what they publish every time the sources don’t want anyone to know it was them, but it’s not like the reporters don’t know their sources or don’t vet them –this “anonymous source bad” trope frankly reeks of the classic populist Lying press / Lügenpresse rhetoric. I really don’t understand how people think things should work if anonymous sources are bad
However, this does not apply to US soil. One of the benefits of state sovereignty is that federal armed forces can’t operate on US soil
From the Project 2025 wiki page:
In November 2023, The Washington Post reported that deploying the military for domestic law enforcement under the Insurrection Act of 1807 would be an “immediate priority” upon a second Trump inauguration in 2025. That aspect of the plan was being led by Jeffrey Clark, a contributor to the project and a former official in the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ). Clark is a senior fellow at the Center for Renewing America, a Project 2025 partner. The plan reportedly includes directing the DOJ to pursue those considered by Trump as disloyal or a political adversary
Oh yeah, extensions which make them non-regular definitely can make it possible, but just because it’s now somewhat possible with some regex engines doesn’t mean it’s a good idea
On pages that reader mode supports, you should see the icon on the right side of the address bar. Here’s an example from one of my tabs:
Damn, it’s a squid-eat-squid world
Oh yeah they definitely have uses, but there’s a real tendency for people to go a bit crazy with them. Complex regexen aren’t exactly readable, there’s all kinds of fun performance gotchas, there’s sometimes other tools/algorithms that are more suitable for the task, and sometimes people try to use them to eg. parse HTML because they don’t know that it is literally impossible to use regular expressions to parse languages that aren’t regular
Pfft, woke cultural Marxist “scientists” controlled by BIG GOBERMENT tell you that asbestos causes cancer or that tiny pieces of plastic can make you sick, and you believe them? I’ll snort a rail of asbestos just to trigger the libs.
But seriously speaking though, while yeah that was sarcastic as fuck, that’s essentially the world view behind why conservatives are increasingly detached from reality; anything “the left” (which, like I tend to quip, is apparently everyone left of the Strasserites nowadays) believes in is by default wrong because the left is wrong. The authorities, researchers etc. who say that CO2 emissions are a problem, or that drinking bleach or eating huge doses of dewormer won’t actually cure your COVID – which by the way you simultaneously believe to be a lie perpetrated by Jewish space lizards controlled by Bill Gates – are all “the left”, so those things just can’t be true
And just don’t ask me about the time I blew up a gas station because my mom called me while I was filling up.
Oh shit I’d completely forgotten about that one.
I mean yeah, at least GSM phones (and I guess CDMA too since the frequency bands are pretty close) did tend to cause funky interference, but the idea that they could somehow cause fuel pumps to go boom was… well, a bit silly.
But hey, at least your 5G reception is fantastic
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I’ll use regular expressions.” Now they have two problems.

Has Coca Cola started a kick murder squad that I*m not aware of, or did they add polonium to Coke?
