Devils advocate: It may not be “pee tapes”, it may be video of him sexually assaulting a Miss Universe candidate.

Well. That’s it. Get the flamethrowers. Time to burn down the Amazon.

No. Not the one that’s already burning. The other one.

Reddit comment: Shaving does make your dinghy look bigger!

Yeah, okay, meanwhile the local garbage dump is getting overrun with some weird new plant that grows like crazy and causes anything to eat it to go sex crazed.

…. And I will help spread this plant to every country on earth. Biodiversity be dammed, we’re gonna make love, not war.

My comment said I was amused.

What point are you trying to make, or what angle are you trying to get at?

My grandmother chose to spend the last of her time “at home, with dignity.”

We (mom and siblings) lived with her, and got to experience the whole thing. I will spare you the details, but it was not dignified.

I will never put another person through that in my life. Not even hospital staff. If I ever receive a terminal diagnosis, I’m immediately going to begin planning my exit - likely in a similar fashion as above.

Yeah - absolutely.
I didn’t explicitly agree with you in my response, but what you’re saying makes perfect sense. I’m just… dumbfounded it did not occur to me. Having my hands in that space is literally something I do.

If I can spare my ego just slightly - I’m sure the military has way better imaging than what was shown (but my comparison to Google maps was a bad one).

….

In two hours I have a reoccurring leadership-type meeting where finding replacement vendors for Nearmap has been a topic of discussion for a few years. (TBF, my focus is on data accessibility and interoperability. I kind of zone out for that part of the meeting.)

I honestly don’t know why I have never considered that Google flies its imagery.

For the 5% of my adult life that I’ve had short hair and no beard: Quentin Tarantino. For the rest of my bearded, long-haired adulthood: Steve Burke from Gamers Nexus. But they need to have blue/green eyes and forehead wrinkles.
(Huh. On paper that just sounds like I look like Nick Offerman, but not really.)

It’s very funny to me how much nonsense is in this article.

What I mean by that is that the satellite photos - they look like Cuban missile crisis photos. I understand why they would mask the capability of spy tech, but I can get clearer imagery of my house from google.
And they don’t know when the launch failure occurred? There are plenty of seismographs that would pick up a large explosion like that. Psh.

I read a comment a few weeks ago from someone that is from around that area. Between J6 and the inauguration, apparently a bunch of concrete barriers sprung up and there were military personnel stationed throughout checkpoints at the Capitol complex.
Biden is many things, but he and his cronies are not intentionally keeping security weak in hopes that a coup will happen, nor will he or the other two people that can activate them hesitate to deploy the National Guard.

J6 was not a generalized failure of government processes or a mistake from lack of planning. There are standing plans, materiel, and personnel in place. The state of the Capitol and its defenses were a choice — an intentional failure, to open the doors for a coup.
