Only thirty two more felonies to go and George can start his 2036 Presidential run.
Because poor voting choices by the angry swamp drain majority.

I had to do a double take on that one. At first I thought it was George Soros who was going to prison. 
It could also be stretched to lock up anyone who in their opinion is acting ânutsâ. In the extreme, some anti-Trump post traced to you could get you committed. I donât think weâre there yet, but weâre galloping in that general direction.
Mr. Walters has a working hypothalamus and he ainât afraid to stimulate it. Go ahead, son.
Doing it on the employerâs time and dime, though, is a real kink. What a risk taker!
Xtians may be like normal people, too. Who knew?

Interesting take! Your breakdown of religious hypocrisy and historical repetition is sharp and brutally honest. The satirical fiction idea sounds brilliantâdefinitely worth exploring further!

Yes, this actually happened. Hopefully the right to say âfuck off with that shitâ is also reserved for non-self deluded government employees.
Trump Administration Lets Federal Employees Promote Religion at Work
âEmployees can also form a prayer group and gather for prayer or scripture study in the workplace, so long as theyâre not on duty at the time. And they can also âengage in conversations regarding religious topics with fellow employees, including attempting to persuade others of the correctness of their own religious views, provided that such efforts are not harassing in natureâŚâ

Iâve just posted something over at another forum, which was prompted by this comment (link to full post provided here for context):
This could, of course, constitute the ultimate FAFO moment, and Iâll repeat my post following that one by way of explanation. Viz:
Climate change will, actually, constitute the fatal exception.
Of course weâre all aware that the mega-rich have lived on the basis, that possessing a mountain of money will always insulate them from whatever shit afflicts the hated plebs. But thereâs a limit to how far this can be taken, and climate change promises to be that limit.
If the plutocrats continue to behave like overgrown toddlers despoiling the planet for the rest of us, NO amount of money is going to save them from frying alongside the plebs, if they turn the planet into Venus Mark II. There will be NO gated paradise to run to, where they can look out of the window and masturbate to the spectacle of millions of plebs dying a horrible death, while sipping on pina coladas. Theyâre going to be too busy dying the same death. If all the oxygen is used up in conversion to carbon dioxide, and temperature rises to 450 degrees Celsius, they are fucked along with the plebs.
Plus, the idea that they can somehow manage this, and bring global warming to a halt just enough to ensure that they can live it out in luxury bunkers, while wiping out billions of the rest of us, keeping just enough alive to be exploited as slave labour, theyâre going to learn the hard way that this isnât possible. Push the climate past the requisite tipping point, and itâs Hello Venus here on Earth.
Plus, shutting down climate change research so that they have more money to spend on their yacht collections, will bite them on the arse hard in this respect. If killing off that research prevents them from knowing where the tipping point is, they canât save themselves.
Mind you, there are even worse scenarios waiting in the wings, one of which centres upon the extinction of pollinating insects. If that happens, the human species is fucked. Weâll have a maximum of 18 months left, and once the relevant food insecurity destabilises even sane societies, let alone the cesspit of lunacy that is Dumbfucktrumpistan, we may well consign ourselves to oblivion more quickly by launching World War II in response.
The hard question that requires a prompt answer, is this: will the rest of us do what it takes to reign in the spoilt rich toddlers?
Indeed, one of the big ideas that has been looming in my mind recently, is that rapid acquisition of a mountain of money has an infantilising effect upon those experiencing it. Buying large collections of supercars as if they are Matchbox toys, is merely one manifestation of this infantilising effect. âYay I can buy all the toys I wantâ!" The business of collecting obscenely appointed penis-extension Bond villain yachts, is basically the phenomenon taken to Spinal Tap 11.
Since the decabillionaires and beyond have demonstrated that they canât be trusted to behave themselves, we need to put in place effective mechanisms of restraint. That includes bringing to a halt, their irresponsible pushing of technologies that could constitute an existential threat, for no other reason than to fatten their wallets.
If we donât act fast in this vein, we could be staring extinction hard in the face.

Three or four years ago I ran across an essay buy a climate expert. He said that he was paid a handsome retainer to do some consulting with some think tank or other. At first he was kind of excited that someone was willing to listen and learn, but what he found was that their main question was how to keep their own staff in line in a general âshit hits the fanâ scenario. They were worried that their armed guards would turn on them if things got bad enough and they wanted to know how to most effectively control and motivate them.
Letâs just say he wasnât invited back; he told them there are hard limits to motivating or controlling the help, and thatâs not something they wanted to hear.
Iâve heard others remark on the small but lucrative industry for building underground bunkers and security and defensive systems and that these rich imbeciles imagine themselves as rambos and they completely underestimate how desperate and determined (and vindictive) those âplebesâ will be; they will be sorely disappointed at the gap between their fantasies and reality.
I read about one underground refuge built for multi-tenancy from an old underground missile complex; it includes such obviously BS features as a fully automated medical diagnostic and treatment system, similar to Star Trekâs sick bay. I am 110% certain that stuff like THAT will come up way short in real world applications. These are fools being parted from their money, this side of the apocalypse.
Since the topic of the day is climate change, Iâll contribute this:
The EPA is going to revoke the scientific finding that provides the legal basis for the U.S. government to combat climate change.
