He'll fit in with all the other criminals.

Powerful video. But not mentioned (I mean they only had 4 minutes):

- persecution of LGBTQA+ people
- public libraries shut down
- EPA closed
- oil drilling in national parks
- internet "pornography" eliminated
- no fault divorce eliminated

Precisely this. Even if Biden decides to invoke Dark Brandon and go this route, the Republicans would pull every dirty trick imaginable to negate the action. THEN use it as ammunition to 'prove' Biden is worse than Trump, threatening the election. Independents will not vote for Biden, the benign dictator.

Article is important, despite its clickbaity headline. I dug out the relevant bit below.

@Antiqueight @cstross

Yep. He used to tell it as a 'hilarious' anecdote about his family road trip vacations. Seamus, in a crate, tied to the top of the family car, speeding down the highway at 70 mph. Dog is so terrified its liquified shit coats the back window. Romney has to stop to clean it up.

*pause for audience laughter*

He told the story multiple times until Romney realized it made him sound like a psychopath.

Yelling at the jury in your criminal trial is a novel tactic.

@JamesGleick

It depends on your goals. If "profit" is that goal, then it makes zero sense.

If, however, you're after political influence and/or laundering a bunch of foreign cash, well then.. let's fire up the money incinerator!

@GottaLaff

I love this. But also, SO MUCH of Biden's first term has been undoing the damage wrought by the previous admin.

I feel like we're still cleaning up from Hurricane Trump that hit in 2016.
