Someone said it best a couple weeks ago here.

"Just because Alfred is getting too old to take care of things doesn't mean you put the Joker in charge of the Bat Cave."

Don't forget to contrast it with Trump's circle!

• Disbarred rapist hair dye sweat lawyer Giuliani
• Somehow-less-appealing than Karl Rove strategist Steve Bannon
• His daughter
• His son-in-law
• A postmaster who didn't see the need to keep mail sorting machines
• Alina Habba

...I'm sure he'll stick Mike Lindell in charge of something too.

It's a real turd dream-team.-

12 hours? Those are rookie numbers. Gotta pump those numbers up.

God... if only.

That is true... of a traditional campaign. But we live in an era where people can get millions of devoted followers by twerking on a webcam. A savvy third party that uses the internet effectively to build followers and then spreads into the greater population through word of mouth could conceivably work. Heck, it's not all that different from how Trump managed to build his base.

I'm not sure exactly what such a thing would look like for a third party candidate with some kind of scruples, but it shouldn't be IMPOSSIBLE.

There's plenty else they could be doing... outreach in off-years, for example. Start on campuses building awareness and building the kind of word-of-mouth and grassroots supporters you really need for a campaign. Having your name on the ballot isn't enough. Having rallies isn't enough. You can't ask the people to come to YOU, and the media certainly won't give you any coverage... you have to reach out to THEM.

Good point.

"Me writing a script that looks for my obituary, and when it finds it, sends memes from my account to my friends, until one of the random memes is a webp, python starts throwing errors in an infinite loop, it doesn't properly reset the timer because I had that inside the try block, and the whole system crashes from an error log file eating all the hard disk space 2 days later."

Taking bags without your consent is kind of airport security's deal. They're explicitly allowed to do that.

This is the latest stupid trend.

Even the BBQ restaurants are getting in on it.
