Yeah, I think they achieved their goals of crippling the US for the forseable future. Mission accomplished.

Because of Bush’s masterful handling of the storm? Way to go guys.

I had to read that multiple times - my first reading was 97% of the time, when users of X called for violence, X chose not to respond to the calls by committing the requested violence.

Of course, if they’re in the army, can’t they be executed for treason and the like?

From the way they are acting, they clearly don’t seriously think there will ever be a chance of them losing power, so they probably will go for it.

Of course, they’re probably also fully aware that if the Democrats ever DO regain power, they will trip all over themselves to “let bygones be bygones” and restore the filibuster for the Republicans to use.

That’s the same threat he’s made to every state, city and institution. Do exactly what I tell you too or I’ll use the power of the federal government (unrestrained by congress or the courts) to crush you. So, what he’s implicitly saying to any mayor.

So there is literally no point to paying attention to what he’s saying - he’s going to do it regardless.

Yeah, so far no stoppers that I've found. I generally like the look but I think as the betas progress they're probably going to dial down some of the transparency - the notifications on my Lock Screen and the control center icons are very hard to read because I have a kind of busy background picture.

Definitely stealing that phrase!
