I saw that. Any small talk?

Not really time, but there was a whole interview before the signing (by Molly Jong Fast) which was filmed by CSPAN. Don't think it aired yet, wasn't live.

There was some interesting stuff in the interview - one thing that really stuck out for me, when he was asked why GOP reps/senators won't criticize Trump. Obviously money/power is at stake if you piss off the base, but also it sounds like people are terrified. The few that have dared to say anything get swamped by death threats, RW says he gets threats with pics of his house with his wife in the window with a target on her head. I assume that's why so many of the 'reasonable' GOP reps are just not even bothering running again, that's the easiest way out. he said mainly they hate Trump with only a few crazies like Jordan who really bought it. Said Gaetz hates Trump which was interesting.

That would explain a lot of things ^^^

I've got 4 more days of Twitter jail remaining on my 6 day sentence. 

 

Not sure if somebody reported a post, or just got flagged by AI. Still can't read though, and that's mostly what I do anyway.

what happened?

[Mr. Roboto]

Limbaugh said something about Mayor Pete up there kissing his husband vs. the ultimate alpha male Trump. I posted something along the lines of "He should just go ahead and die already." 

 

I was banned within 2 minutes or so. That's why I figured it was AI, the word "die" was a flag and I was banned for "threatening another user" or some shit like that.

Thus, the basis of authoritarianism.  Pick an ideology.  Be autocratic.  Crack down on any in your side with threats of violence.  Then go after the other side.

Also the fucking Kidz Bop.  You haven't gotten there yet I'm guessing.  It's coming.  And it will haunt your dreams.
