It difference between Nixon and Trump.
Over the course of five decades, Donald Trump has been accused of sexual assault, tax evasion, money laundering, non-payment of employees, and the defrauding of tenants, customers, contractors, investors, bankers, and charities. Also filed 6 bankruptcies. Trump paid 88.5 million to E.Jean Carroll for raping and defaming her. Trump was charged with paying hush money to porn stat Stormy Daniels to keep secret their sexual encounter while Melania was pregnant with Barron. Trump's false or misleading claims total 30573 over 4 years . Yet, he has continued to amass wealth and power. In this book, criminologist and social historian Gregg Barak asks why and how?
Trump has been impeached twice, indicted 4 times with 91 felony counts. Ordered to pay 88.3 million dollars for sexually assaulting and defaming E.Jean Carroll. Trump was fined 464 million dollars for business fraud and is in court for paying a porn star Stormy Daniels hush money to keep her silent during the elections. Trump's false or misleading claims total 30573 over 4 years Trump has been charged with tax fraud in Chicago to the tune of 100 million dollars. A New York jury on Thursday found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records — the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime.

And 50% of Americans love him.

What does that say about 50% of dumbass sistamuthafuckin banjo playing grass chewing Americans?

Of course, 50% of  50% will be sleeping with both their brutha and Pa.

Only joking....I'm only referring to swamp dwellers, hillbillies and the paranoid who lurk in the backwoods with a shed full of automatic weapons.

The ones that lack teeth and shoes.

So, why does the Horsehead Nebula always look like a horses head.

You would think that a giant cloud of gas and dust would be in a constant state of flux.

Horses head one minute, Donald Trumps mushroom dick the next.

So Donald and the Houthis are now best mates, and neither side harbour any grudges...BRILLIANT.

That's got to be good news for sailors and everyday Yemeni folk alike.

All Hail the Orange one.

True.

But Iran is perhaps up to productive capacity supplying Russia with drones.

Trump would prefer a new treaty with Iran than tariffs.

Shoutouts to Jimmy Butler and Nico Harrison for generating headlines that got me interested in watching basketball. I’m watching frequently for the first time in my life. Go Pacers!

I never considered that solar storms would have less of an effect on the nightside of a planet.
Sounds like a recipe for war and the less knocked out nations to make power plays.
Well, just another argument for having military bases all about the world I suppose, might lose less military power that way.
I wonder if any nations have more 'intentional enclaves about the world, sure various groups do, but I think such tends to be a bit unorganized.
Colonies being a 'bit less common nowadays than the past.

I also enjoy a bit the cultural 'image some nations had during the Cold War, all that prepping of bunkers in backyards and disaster planning.

I think Individualism is great, and prefer it myself to a large degree, pairs well with Hedonism.
Even in a Group, I think Individualism can have a great benefit, take soldiers for example, initiative and freedom to make decisions on the front line, rather than pass the buck and wait for orders.
Workers in a business fixing a problem then and there, rather than applying the official method that might not fix, or waiting for higher ups to do nothing at all.

But humans are also social, community focused.
And though individual disasters may be unlikely to occur, or often localized,They 'can occur, and some like a solar storm, can be effecting everybody.
Communities really 'ought all be collaborative preppers.

And here's my Tribalism complaint, it's similar to that Pixar Incredibles movie, "When everyone is special, nobody will be."
I think that such all encompassing 'valuing of others hacks away at community,Same problem I find with Humanism, though I'm an Atheist myself, it's too vague a term and contrary to working human nature.
Even Democracy or Communism, when the chips came down, various countries were more interested in their own bloods and cultures, than worldwide Democracy or Communism.
Just the way humans are built to thrive in, small group of people in shared commonalities and purpose.
Individualism is a pleasant luxury, one I prefer myself,But only 'possible in abundance. And one that 'lessens a people.
And it's so easy to slack off in abundance, fiddle as the grasshopper did.

Well, I like enjoying life as an individual more myself anyhow, ag well.

If we all lost the internet,I wonder how many creators would still make content in some form or another?

Newspapers, Magazines, Mail, would make comebacks I imagine.

Maybe 'packages of USBs would be delivered to hardened electronic centers, where people might use computers.
Still, even some content such as RTS games, and Shooters, wouldn't 'disappear I'd imagine, a return to the Arcades.
People 'still go to some tournaments in person to compete,
Be a 'lot smaller though, I imagine.

I suppose one could ask an unborn if they want to be born, if a person reproduced by fission. Maybe. Certain 'types of fission.

I suppose one 'might count clones,
But somehow that seems more as having a twin late in life, to me.

. . . Hm, maybe a clone with implanted memories?

I can imagine a functional Cryogenics Company,
But it would need to be a more 'real company as well, Amazon, Microsoft, so on.
As well as 'limited in membership.
The owners are all 'dead, but have AI simulacrums that run the business in their name.
Course, how long can a company last?
. . . Then again, there are many ancient objects, concepts, even 'organizations on Earth, that have lasted thousands of years.
I suppose instead of AI they might use living 'heirs or Custodians, legal binding and geas to force compliant running of the company.

Cryogenics for the common man. . .
The problem I imagine is having 'many people, then more and more,
Even 'just the brains, one ends up with a lot of dead matter and maintenance costs stored up,
Imagine all the space every human head ever born in Earth's history would take up.
Which is the problem with the common people buying into Cryogenics, their 'revenue and value is 'limited.
One requires a renewable resource, such as ownership of a company, land, or country.
Something tied to oneself that makes on too valuable to be thawed out and tossed out.
. . . Maybe one could store the brains and bodies somewhere or way cheap, but cheap means less well preserved perhaps.

Though, one might argue that immortality is 'just around the corner, one doesn't need to be frozen 'forever, just another 100 or 500 years.
Technology and AI are going to speed up and all our tech and unlock the secrets, in some tens or hundreds of years.
Not so confident myself, but a chance at life is a chance at life,
What else is there?

I'm surprised that Trump doesn't want to make  Slovenia a US state.
