0:35 is the alleged shart. Within seconds he’s trying to wrap it up. At 0:39 he’s suddenly trying to immediately wrap it up. At 0:42 the woman in green arguably reacts. More reactions from the woman in green again at 0:47 and 0:53. At 0:51 he literally gestures the press out of the room without actually moving from his chair.
If this was a grand jury, you’d get an indictment for sure. It could not be a shart, but it looks like a shart, sounds like a shart, and the woman in green smells it like a shart.

Declarations. Executive orders. Not bills.
Bills create law. He ain’t doing that. Most of what he does is not legal.
- Comment on Unfortunate Development for Duke Poop'Em 17 hours ago:
It looks real to me. The reactions aren’t large, and maybe the shart noise at 0:34 could have been edited in, but… it all fit together with the way Trump and staff suddenly rushed the press out of the room.

Is that more or less important to you than defeating Nazis?
- Comment on Can we have a boring and uneventful week for a change? 1 week ago:
Disagree. Could be true with their half-ass efforts towards climate change but I think with enough Hillary Democrat control we’d basically go back to the 1990s, which right now looks like the peak of human civilization.
Personally I think we can do better. The gains in efficiency we’ve made since the 90s, and there have been a lot, should mostly be going to the people. I think we should be thinking big with projects like real mas transit and freight, reducing our reliance on semis, and more local, green energy independence. I think we can achieve a $25 (2025) , adjusted for inflation min wage WITH a 32 hour work week for everyone.
I’d like actual progress. I’ll settle for the 1990s and rule of law. Neither are close to the actual fascism of Republicans.
I’ll vote for the first in the primary, and whichever of the first two win in the general. Kind of how our democracy works currently. Yeah, ranked choice would be better but for right now I’ll settle for one more reasonably fair fptp election.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s how it works. The people who do not have the grees.at some point are content.
It’s a mental abnormality that causes some people to act like cancer and consume resources obsessively.
- Comment on France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials 1 week ago:
It’s also a consequence of low taxes on capital gains and corporate profits.
When those taxes were higher it made more sense to reinvest the profits back into your own company. You’d build a reputation and a structure that would pay out you and your family for a hundred years.
Now the dream is to build up a company just enough to sell it to some megacorp and cash out asap, with you and your family living off of investment money that only increases over time.

This might not even be from the national guard. It might be directly from ICE posting as NG.
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 3 weeks ago:
We haven’t, really. Our “complete neutrality” is infested with troll farms, where people are employed to make hundreds of accounts to spread propaganda.
I’m thinking the answer is to implement a huge barrier for troll farms, but a small speed bump for real people.
It could be oauth with Steam or your cell provider, where you can make an account if you’ve spent over $250 with them. Actual credit history would work. You can combine these and allow any of them, which might let one person make 3-4 accounts, maybe, but that’s still limited enough to make things difficult for troll farms.
There is an issue where billionaires that want to influence us have absolutely absurd resources, and maybe paying $1000 per account isn’t enough of a barrier for them. But at least it gives us a chance for the bans to stick significantly more than they do now.

I was hoping the tariffs would be good, but I certainly expected it to be a disaster otherwise.
In retrospect, it was just really bad, and his tariffs were a ham-fisted turd. He saved the demolition of the country for his second term, after he let Stephen Miller run things and got rid of anyone who was telling him no.

It’s fine. He has potential, and he really did move fast and break things to make Tesla what it was. I don’t think EVs would be where they are today without him.
The pedophile thing really was the turning point. It was possible to see before then, but it wasn’t even the event itself that did it. He just changed fast around that time period. Whether his views changed or he just started revealing and acting on them much more is debatable.
- Comment on who's gonna tell him? 3 weeks ago:
Maybe just young, because the coverage up to that point was hard to avoid.
- Comment on who's gonna tell him? 3 weeks ago:
He was probably already racist, but it really does seem like the drugs helped make him a Nazi.
It’s probably a combination of the people feeding him drugs and him drifting towards manipulators instead of people who might tell him no.

It’s always going to sound accurate. That’s what’s it’s built to do. It’s just that often the easiest way to sound accurate is to be accurate, but not always. Shortly after you forget that it’s going to fuck you.
Better not forget.
