Of course, Trump's $1.776bn slush fund isn't JUST to pay off the Jan 6 mob.

It's a carrot, advertising his private militia by showing the $$ signs to would-be thugs/nsurrectionists for the NEXT time he needs them.

As I said before, an unpunished, failed coup is just a dress rehearsal...

If only the constitution could be amended to prevent private militias ๐Ÿค”

"Donald Trump was also briefed on the shooting. โ€œItโ€™s a terrible situation,โ€ Trump said."

Who made you President of Stating The Blindingly Obvious, Donald?

Three people killed in shooting at San Diegoโ€™s largest mosque, police say

Two teenage suspects also died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, according to officials

The Guardian
They have to quell guns, if they are going to intimidate Americans. They will use this to suppress #2A rights before elections. They canโ€™t have an armed population if they want to create and win a civil war.
WHCDโ€™s staged gun event: 1. Redirect the media cycle โœ… 2. Push for ballroom funding, using fear tactics. 3. Scare and manipulate your emotions โœ… 4. Scapegoat violence from the โ€œLeftโ€ โœ… 5. Create fear, start coming for #2A rightsโœ… They will start coming for average gun holderโ€™s rights soon.
Clayton Fullerโ€™s recent public profile and campaign themes support a strong pro-Second-Amendment stance.

If you are a militant gun nut under the claim that you are doing it to stop the US government from tyranny, and aren't working on or coordinating with someone with weapons grade #drone tech, you are just cosplaying soldier and will get your ass creamed in a real uprising. Modern warfare requires mostly drone tech in decentralized locations so that if one gets bombed the others can keep going. Guns can be used to defend the drone factory, but kind of useless otherwise against a massive military. Rising up against the government always felt like a stupid argument.
I have a few different problems around storytelling (I s2fg I just need to start a blog)

#1 is that I've been sitting stuck in the first 20k words of this story draft for like 2 years. I've rewritten it 3 times at this point and I still can't get it to flow exactly how I want to. I've been stuck here and it's on my mind constantly but I just can't get it out. I'm scared of letting go and writing something else because I love the story and the characters and I don't wanna lose the versions of them that only exist in my head at the moment.

#2 is that for some of my ideas, writing isn't the best medium. Gay Whiplash doesn't really make sense as a book: a story about the pursuit of jazz with no jazz is just kinda hollow. I bet there's a way I could do it by moving the focus away from the actual jazz and focusing on the emotions and character building

#2a is that my next best idea is gay whiplash and its SUPER problematic. Like I love problematic relationships in my media but there's a limit! The abusive male band director trying to melt college kids down and forge them into something great is like the perfect media exaggeration of the moody band director every jazz musician experienced at least once in school. The female version that achieves the same thing through manipulation and then fucks one of her students? SHEESH. Maybe if I could make the student a little older as a graduate / TA but you're not really doing big band stuff as your primary responsibility after you finish your undergrad... Like a 25 year old with a 40ish year old is ok for media but 18-22? That's a bit rough. And it doesn't really work without the college framework because regular bands don't have the same kind of power structure that I want in the first place.

#3 is that I really do want to make a game, it's just that my storytelling brain and my technical brain find completely different things fun. My story telling brain wants to load up unity or RPG maker and get all the technical stuff out of the way but my technical brain wants to build something mostly from scratch without an editor like godot or etc.
#2A #GVP Yesterday, the Seventh Circuit finally joined ALL the other federal circuit courts in rejected a Second Amendment facial challenge to the federal felon-in-possession law, 18 U.S.C. ยง 922(g)(1). United States v. Prince, 2026 WL 905432. They left open the possibility of as-applied challenges

Second Amendment supporters love to shout "shall not be infringed!" as if this is the end-all and be-all.

So why are there no rallies supporting an 18-yr-old adult's right carry wherever he wants? If you say, "Well, ok - not in schools" then you do accept some level of infringement after all.
