Oh of course, it’s not all “premium” products, usually more common in “lower end” product like my toilet cleaner example. Its certainly not the case 100% of the time.

Since 1970 or so, the major problem — and Google “imperial Presidency” if you want more on this — has been that neither party has incentive to hem in the power of the Presidency. If we can defeat Nixon/Ford/Carter/Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama/Trump in the next Presidential election, then why would we assert…

All it does is release a magnet thats holding the door open. Its a pretty common and inexpensive feature so I’d think all the female execs had it, unless sexism was rampant but it isnt some sort of creep feature

Yeah, but at least they have electricity, water and no fires. So the lifespan you do get is quite enjoyable.

When people are called Nazi for voting Trump or not being left wing, yeah, that not only destroys the meaning of the word Nazi but makes the people being called it just tune out the slur-throwers.

You’ve stated that witty retort a few times.  Why don’t you sit a few plays out chief.

People in certain circles of the government used to say about Mujahedin in Afghanistan, who later became Al Qaeda, that giving them stinger missiles was pointless because they were barbaric primitives and religious fanatics who still lived like it was the dark ages.

Pssshhh....if HamNo believed 10% of this he’d be stockpiling firearms and be calling for like minded individuals to arm themselves in preparation for the violence he describes as inevitable.

On the other hand society is a construct and exists because we all agree upon it and go about our days abiding by agreed upon rules. Most people are not insane and don’t wish to hurt people even if they have fucked up ideas. Some people are extra unhinged and sometimes things escalate, but even in war torn nations…

If you are so worried, perhaps you should buy a firearm and learn to use it.

1. There’s no mechanism for Trump to use to keep a hold on the Oval Office if he decides to stay. The Secret Service will just politely ask him to leave, then less politely ask him to leave. Stop panicking.
