Wow, who woulda thunk?

I’ve started looking at both Swiss and French accounts, but haven’t opened anything yet.

Can you point me to where you were able to open your account, and were you able to do it all online?

Unless it’s caused them to issue a very public, unequivocal statement rebuking the administration and all of its actions I stand by my prior statement.

Hell I live here and I don’t trust it.

We’re getting rapid societal change right now, just the wrong way. My biggest challenge to your take is that you’d have everyone always playing defense, which only slows, not stops, the evil that keeps coming.

Do I wish there were a non-violent out for this? Yes. I just can’t see it. Every day that passes, every norm that is cast aside, means that much more work just to get back to “the old ways” (which were far from perfect). The other side opened the door Jan 6, 2021, then blew it off its hinges with the pardons. The only way to win is play by their rules, or at least their rulebook of “no rules” - thank you sir may I have another and hoping they get bored/annoyed is not a viable strategy.

Seems like they could tell us who he IS and clear all this up. I suppose we could read his arrest record as this is clearly excessive force (among other things), but that would imply the administration admitting its errors (and who really things THAT will happen)?

You know, I’d actually not considered the need for the peaceful protests to build the support so that when the inevitable necessary violence occurs, those heroes have the backers they need. I just wish this would speed the fuck up already; those of us who’ve seen this shitshow coming for years are just getting impatient at getting PAST this point in history. I, for one, think that the quicker we get through it the better EVERYONE comes out on the other side; continuing to draw it out leads to more entrenched parties, more hard feelings afterwards, and more pain required to fix this.

Good. Polite and convenient protests aren’t the way out of this.

Let me guess - the older lawmakers who voted for some of Trump’s cabinet nominations?

HOW IS THIS NOT THE ONION???

Sounds like a shit-ton of churches need to be getting reported right about now.

I’ve got an idea! Let’s sit around jerking each other off for two weeks while we build a case that Trump will just ignore anyways! Who’s with me (besides the Court)???

I’d say pardon, but that implies anyone in this corrupt administration would even consider prosecution. So likely just more destruction of messages.

Sounds like locker room talk to me.

Pffft. Mere locker room talk!

I’m not sure if he’s still alive, but I think the administration wants to win the battle that they don’t have to him back, then the next one will be someone who doesn’t even have “alleged” ties to whatever, and finally it will be U.S. citizens that Trump just doesn’t like - poor, brown, Democrat - you know the list.

But if they lose step one they can’t even try step two.

Yeah, but since the last time was 2008 maybe this is his next day?

We’re not there yet

Maybe that’s only because the opportunity hasn’t presented itself yet? Guess we’ll find out mid-week. But the fact that this is even a possibility should terrify everyone.

I was thinking of how they handle the folks they don’t like. It’s swift, decisive, and irreversible.

Was it really an “error” to them though? Or a test?
