I may have gone overboard on cameras… I have 17 of the things around my property now.

I plan on getting some but with Rump getting ready to
Make police invulnerable to law, i dont know how it will help. It may be time to invest in home defense equipment.
As much as I don’t like Trump, I don’t think that civilization is going to fall in the next four years. I will seriously worry if he manages to somehow stay in office or make himself a king, but until then, I will believe that there are enough decent people out there who will not let it get to that point.
Idk about that. I believed that people wouldn’t vote for him because he’s become so unhinged. Oops.

Not to fear monger, but im following it all really close and well, I think we should start prepping for the end of our lives as it has been.
@Force10 I am extremely worried for people like you, My siblings and partner are all they/thems, and I have told them that it won’t be safe for them to use those as their primary pronouns for a while.
I took of any stickers off things that showed my support for safety. and I recommend everyone to do the same. Don’t make it easy. Go into the dark screaming, kicking, and ready to protect yourself.
My biggest worry is that rump will try to stay in office at the end of his term despite the fact that a president only gets two. I don’t think he’ll succeed, but if he does, then it will be the end of life as we know it.

We are working on getting DS22’s name change done before Jan 20 as we assume it will not be permitted after that. He was going to have surgery in February but we will see if it happens. Hopefully it’ll be too soon for any changes to occur in insurance coverage, etc.
We are also trying to make a backup plan for the younger two for college and financial aid, seeing as they are hell-bent on eliminating the Dept of Ed. Not sure that is actually possible, seeing as every single federal student loan, college, etc, is part of that system.
I’ve started stocking up on food by doing some baking and getting sourdough into the freezer so we will have bread. Also working on getting some Plan B, etc, stashed away. Not so much for me but for my team at work. They are all young college kids and I want to make sure they have access to what they need.
Hopefully it doesn’t come to any of this but better safe than sorry.

Holy crap, Pete Hegseth for secretary of defence? Kristi Noem for homeland security?
You guys are screwed.
Matt Gaetz for attorney general too. It’s like he’s trying to put together the worst cabinet possible. All of my ID reflects who I currently am so I will have it better than most. But the next four years are going to suck.
The problem Trump had last time was that he had people around him who said no, you can’t do that.
This time he’s trying to make sure nobody will. And looking at his picks:
a. Who has the backbone to say no?
b. Who has the intelligence to say no?
I’m just waiting for Green to get a job too, now that’s a scary thought.
I really hope that’s enough

Im reading reports that a group of Info-Sec people have sent a letter to Kamala’s team. They belive that russia, musk, and rump cheated and edited the voting machines.
As much as I want to believe this, and that it will be resolved, I think Americans are just that stupid to have voted for him. No doubt russia and musk helped in this. with the dis-information campaigns and false info they actively pushed.
The Republican-led committee that has been investigating his behavior was set to release their findings on Friday. Within hours of Trump picking him to be the AG, Gaetz resigned from the Senate, listing the potential promotion as the reason. Any findings, including recommendations for criminal charges, are now invalidated because their authority over him ended when he stopped being a Senator.
I can imagine him saying, “So long, suckers! I’m outta here” as he left, knowing that Kevin McCarthy’s knowledge of what the committee had dug up was now worthless. He ousted McCarthy from being Speaker of the House and he won’t face any consequences for it.
Same. But if it isn’t I’ve got my passport ready. How is NZ this time of year? 
NZ is beautiful. Check out the NZ immigration site. I registered that last time Trump was voted in, but it was just too expensive for me to move since I own a house, have a lot of stuff, and pets.

All I can say is that I hope the democrats don’t do what the republicans have been doing for the last 4 years, that was pathetic and I don’t want to see another 4 years of it.
Just coming into summer.
I have to say it like that because it has been raining all night and still is 
How many of those info sec dudes were on the letter calling Hunter Biden’s laptop a hoax? How many of them bought into the Steele Dossier?
How many of those info sec people were planting agents in groups to kidnap the governor of Michigan or blow up a bridge before the DNC in Ohio? Or showing up as “MAGA” in matching slacks and polos?
The number of people who two weeks ago were sure we had the safest elections in the world that are sure something happened now is amazing. If we win it’s fine, if they win it’s broken.
I may not like it, but I’m not saying that the election was rigged. I’m not out there threatening my neighbours because they support Trump. The fact that I feel threatened now is a problem. The fact that anyone is out there threatening others is a problem.
There are people up here swearing that gas prices will be $1.50/gallon by next year and mocking anyone who disagrees. This behaviour is problematic and what I’m calling out. I don’t care which side is making threats, it’s not okay. This behaviour is supported by Trump’s example.
Speaking of issues, what about the fact that one party now controls the House of Representatives, Congress, and potentially the Supreme Court? One party is not supposed to control it all.

That’s a republican thing, from Trump down.
Literally none of the democrat leadership are saying that the election was stolen as Trump did for the last 4 years.

Rainman Ray stuck out his neck and Youtube did not like it.
Yeah, I saw that one. Ray basically said “Be nice to each other” and got hit for hate speech.
Um… what? On what planet is asking people to be nice to each other “hate” speech?
He didn’t even call out one side or the other, he said most people are in the middle, but that extremists at both ends are the ones complaining
