Oh definitely.

Just look at what happened when a global pandemic arose. Even with it’s inevitable arrival, millions of people caused the country to descend into ridiculous conspiracy theories, throwing tantrums about wearing masks, hoarding toilet paper, and attempts to profit of hand sanitizer.

And the government was front and center of all of those actions. Now we have the same government again, but this time it’s like they are on cruelty and greed steroids. And the first of living has gone up sharply because of all the financial missteps, so that’s going to make things even worse.

The leopards are going to become morbidly obese from this round of eating. Someone had better get them a bunch of “fat shots”, stat.

Here’s a link from a December 2024 article. It mentions how the people behind Project 2025 had an online questionnaire. I remember reading somewhere that I’m addition to being an promoted on maga web sites, the questionnaire was also heavily promoted at Trump’s rallies. I can’t find a link on that now, but it makes perfect sense that’s one of the places where they’d be advertising it and gathering names. It would be a very effective way of reaching those people.

Pertinent parts of this article, which again was published before he was sworn in, include:

Among Donald Trump’s many disconcerting campaign promises is a pledge to fire tens of thousands of federal employees and replace them with loyalists.

Project 2025’s online questionnaire for landing job in the next Trump administration asks about the influences on applicants’ “political philosophy.” According to one alumnus of the first Trump administration, the idea is to “see that you’re listening to Tucker, and not pointing to the Reagan revolution or any George W. Bush stuff.”

Remember how during the election campaign he had sign-up forms for the maga loyalists who attended his rallies and were interested in working for his government?

This is the next step in that plan. The first step was having Musk and his DOGE lackeys gut the federal government of anyone who was employed in areas they didn’t like, it those who might be critical of them.

Now they are moving to step 2: they are going to use subs of the freed-up wages from those lost positions to flood the federal government with their loyalist grunts. And ICE is the perfect place for most of them. These people will get to strut around in their armed forces paraphernalia, persecuting immigrants and people with darker skin than them.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen any mention of those rally sign-up forms anywhere recently. But this is all part of a wider plan.

The same courts that the government routinely ignores, and that has a sham, corrupt supreme court at it’s head? Yeah, good luck with that, unfortunately.

I guess I’m… Plain Mercury?

“Woke Marxist Popes” would make a pretty awesome band name.

user names and passwords for logging in to various accounts belonging to Schutt have been published at least four times since 2023 in logs from stealer malware.

Oof. That’s embarrassing. He’s been oblviously leaking his credentials for months due to an earlier infection by malware.

“I don’t stop at yield signs,” he continued.

I haven’t heard this expression before. I understand that he’s trying to project the whole ‘alpha male’ things through that phrase. But that’s a fucking stupid expression. Yield signs are there for everyone’s safety, including your own. Not yielding at them, either literally or figuratively, is the sign of a dunce.

Damn, I’ve been lucky. In my last three positions the vast majority of my coworkers (like 90+%) have been pleasant and easy to work with. And I like all the other developers I currently work with.

That’s objectively poor survey design. For questions like that there should always be an ‘Other’ option. There should also be a ‘None’ or ‘N/A’ option.

“ARCADE INSIDE! ARCADE! ARCADE! ARCADE! ARCADE INSIDE!”

I feel like they are trying to tell me something. I wonder what it is.

It’ll just be a poorly-drawn bicep (for manliness) that looks suspiciously like a cock and balls.

Most of the new testament is for suckers and losers in these peoples’ opinion. They are all about the vindictive, crazy shit in the old testament, and a few rare things from the new testament. like Paul’s letters.

Welp, that right-hand photo just introduced me to my new sleep paralysis demon.

The big ol’ typo in this meme makes it work even better.

Eh, he’d find a way of boasting and taking credit for it whoever the new pope was.

So, no Pope Pizzaballa then. I guess Pope Deepdish still brings a pizza angle to the table though.

Oh shit, it’s not Trump is it? The Cardinals didn’t go all ‘mad lads’ on us, did they?!

That would be amazing. He’d be known as Pope Pizza Pie in the anglosphere.
