Oh yes, very prolife.

That is very well put, and as far as I can tell it applies to all forms of conservatism, from monarchism where the king is above the law and peasants have no rights, to oligarchy where the rich are above the law while the poor have no rights, to fascism where the inner circle and the stormtroopers who serve them are above the law while minorities have no rights, or class-based societies where your laws and rights depend on your class or caste, and theocracy where the clergy decides your rights and obligations depending on your position.

I see the lackluster parade as a victory for democracy. Democracies don't have massive goose-stepping parades in glory of their dear leader. That's a fascist dictator thing, and surely what Trump wanted, but what he got was the kind of parade that you get in a democracy where the military exists for defense rather than tue glorification of the generalissimo.

Well done, military peeps.

Surely that guy will now be fired and charged with assault? This was completely unwarranted.

It seems he wasn't aware that his cult following came from the other end of the political spectrum.

Well, not quite the other end, but environmentally inclined business friendly liberals are still not quite Trump's crowd.

Same with Indiana Jones. Maybe he's slightly less terrible about it than Lara Croft, but the fact that he cares only about that golden idol and not about the entire temple complex around it with apparently still active traps, makes him a terrible archaeologist.

They're both very effective adventurers and tomb robbers, though. And at least Lara Croft doesn't pretend to be any better than that.

Does it still run 30 year old apps? I was under the impression that a lot of DOS and Windows software from the 1990s ran better under Wine than on Windows.

That's always been his strategy: keep repeating the lie until it becomes true.

Or is xAI paying for access to Telegram conversations to train Grok?

And he'd be right to, if the alternative is MAGA.

But this is the buf problem un US politics. Of course you should vote against Trump, and of course even the most questionable Democrat is preferable to Trump. But with only two options, that seems to have lead the Democrats to think they don't even have to try anymore. They keep drifting further to the right, instead of running a credible opposition.

The US desperately needs more options, but the system is rigged to allow only two credible parties. To change, there are only two options: seize control of the Democratic Party, primary every lackluster candidate, until the DNC can't ignore that people demand better. Or start a new grassroots party, but it would have to be universally seen as the only way to get change, it needs to be massively funded to take on the machines of the other two parties, and convince the American voter that they really can win in this system that's rigged against the people.

Primarying is certainly the more likely option, but you need to do it everywhere.

It's apparently also in Mexico and Canada, so you can still visit matches there.

Would be funny if the stadiums in Mexico and Canada were chock full while those in the US were half empty. You'd hope they'd finally get the message.

Does Trump still think it's the 1950s?

Very likely, yes.
