If a burglar is willing to rob a home at night though, when the owners are home, it means he’s not sufficiently afraid of what could happen if the owners catch him.

Basically, the odds are higher that a night burglar is more willing and prepared for violence than a day burglar.

Reminds me of a weird logical reversal a buddy of mine came up with.

Which kind of burglar is more dangerous? The kind who breaks into a home during the day? Or at night?

The day burglar, because most people are at work during the day, so there’s less risk of being caught by the owner.

“trafficked”

Very PC way of saying, “Being Trumped.” In other words, raped..

I’m just gonna switch Trump for rape from now on. Trumpist, date-Trump, etc.

Because I am feeling just that petty and spiteful about him, and about hurting the delicate little fee-fees of his followers.

Coming back to this, made a big typo.😑🤦‍♂️

“But is it *MORE FUCKING CORRUPT”

As in, voting in place of racist cowards covering for a murdering child-raper is WAY less corrupt than anything THEY’VE done.

Lord Brahms @brahmsstoker.bsky.social · 1d

BUT IS IT LESS F—KING CORRUPT THAN ANYTHING ELSE THE REPUBLICANS AND TRUMP HAVE ALREADY DONE???

Didn’t think so.

And yes, my outrage IS because I still have that moron in my head who thought Harris, as a HYPOTHETICAL puppet of the DNC, would’ve been JUST as corrupt as Trump.😑

Of course, this is predicated based on that exposé video where voting was done with the press of a button, so the politicians THERE could just lean over and vote for or against whatever bill, in place of the empty seat. If the Senate/Congress do the same, then it’s totally viable.

Corrupt? Sure.

— act like little b—ches?

Fight dirty back and laugh at them when they whine, “NO FAIR!!!😭”

Democrats cast votes for themselves, AND in place of whoever wasn’t able to make it to cast their vote.

Republicans don’t want words being shoved in their mouths? Better make sure they SHOW UP then.

Hot take.

Saw an expose video out of Texas (I think) showing the floor of their voting chamber. More than half the seats were empty, and the politicians who were there; were “hot seating” (my term) by voting for themselves, AND whatever empty seat was in reach.

Republicans wanna fight dirty and —

Similar principle to “What happens when you take the S out of LASER? You go from a gun that shoots light, to a gun that shoots LIGHTNING.”

So many similarities to GOP candidate Nixon dispatching Kissinger to sabotage LBJ's Vietnam talks, initiating a horrendous Cambodian bombing campaign after winning the 1968 election - only to sign essentially the same deal in 1973 that LBJ had put together 5 years earlier.

Training pilots from allies nations, yes.

Letting an “””allied””” nation build their own personal air base in America? After that nation gave our president a plane that he intends to keep for himself after he’s out of office?

No.

Unnamed source from THIS administration said, “Trust me bro, this was TOTALLY something Biden was gonna do too! It’s TOTALLY not Trump being bribed like the corrupt twat that he is!”

That’s what I was expecting. Thanks for providing where you were getting that intel from.

That has absolutely nothing to do with “The negotiations for Qatar to open a base on American soil began with Biden’s administration”.

“I’m sorry, WHAT.”

It’s just such a wasted opportunity, guys. And there could be PLENTY more besides that if you didn’t cancel the game.

And the Ubisoft team member being interviewed says, with a huge shit-eating grin, “Well, we ARE about being historically accurate, after all! Within reason of course.”

“…historically accurate?”

There’s an interview about the game, like usual. And the interviewer asks at some point, “Why’d you put in a joke weapon that looks like it was taken straight out of Monster Hunter?🤨”

Lord Brahms @brahmsstoker.bsky.social · 2d

Maybe as a joke weapon, maybe with a cheat code or something. (Not as DLC microtransaction or I SWEAR TO GOD—)

Ignore that, but anyway.

You put it in, and it catches some attention, what with an assassin pulling a freaking folding knife GLAIVE out of nowhere to shank KKK members.

Lord Brahms @brahmsstoker.bsky.social · 2d

— that gigantic folding knife, with the inscription: “To John Fox Potter. For all Pryor engagements.”

There are some embellishments, and details to be corrected with research, but you get the idea.

Now, let me paint a scene for you.

You release the AC Civil War game and put that “knife” in it.

Lord Brahms @brahmsstoker.bsky.social · 2d

Pryor, naturally, acted like he’d “gotten the vapors” and backed down under the excuse that Potter was “making a mockery of the noble art of dueling!” but nobody believed him.

This interaction got John Potter respect from the North and the South. Hence a Mississippi politician commissioning —

Potter’s response to Pryor’s duel challenge however, was solid gold.

“Okay. And since you’re challenging me, I pick where and with what. And I’m not picking pistols at 12 paces. Bowie knives in a broom closet…your move, BITCH.”

(GREATLY exaggerated for humor obviously)
