[05:23] DaemonFC He calls them "Putin's forces". [05:23] DaemonFC It's legitimate to help them kill people who are there fighting for Putin. [05:23] schestowitz-TR2 DaemonFC: h264 is used a lot in mp4 iirc [05:23] DaemonFC But most Russians don't seem to actually like Putin. If anything, they want out of there and can't get out. [05:23] DaemonFC And if they say anything they'll be shot or arrested. [05:24] schestowitz-TR2 yes, narcissist putin [05:24] schestowitz-TR2 starving his own people [05:24] schestowitz-TR2 and sending them to die [05:24] DaemonFC So even the appearance of lack of criticism isn't a gauge to judge them by because it's not a free or normal country where you can say "Fuck Biden" or something and nothing happens. [05:24] schestowitz-TR2 if they had proper elections, he'd be out [05:24] schestowitz-TR2 or forced to behave better, in order to get re-elected [05:25] schestowitz-TR2 DaemonFC: we have several Ukrainians and Russians here [05:25] schestowitz-TR2 and USians [05:25] schestowitz-TR2 who don't like Trump or even Biden [05:25] DaemonFC Navalny tried to run against Putin, and not only was he cheated, he was poisoned, and then thrown in prison. [05:25] schestowitz-TR2 I dislike Borisnaro strongly [05:25] DaemonFC It's likely that Navalny won and Putin rigged the election and released fake numbers and simply stayed. [05:25] DaemonFC What Trump wishes he could have done. [05:26] schestowitz-TR2 never mind if the media was unfair [05:26] schestowitz-TR2 and state-controlled [05:26] schestowitz-TR2 Trump tried to forcibly take over more media [05:26] schestowitz-TR2 like VoA [05:26] schestowitz-TR2 I think it was spared at the end [05:28] DaemonFC Yeah, it was. [05:29] DaemonFC He tried to appoint hundreds of people all over government on his last few days, but Biden fired them all. [05:29] DaemonFC The few he couldn't fired got moved to positions where they'll never see anything that could damage Biden or allow them to leak things to Trump and where they'll probably just give up and resign.

Due to page crawling limits (max 10,000), Lupa knows of no Gemini capsule with over 1GB in "content" gemini://gemini.bortzmeyer.org/software/lupa/stats.gmi [05:30] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR2, We came inches away from a corrupt and illegal Census count too. [05:30] DaemonFC The career civil servants that Trump couldn't fire kept coming up with excuses not to hand over the final reports until he was gone and Biden reversed the executive order to not count immigrants. [05:31] schestowitz-TR2 like orange's wife [05:31] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR2, So in our system, there's always 535 members of the House and Senate, and the electoral votes are that plus 3 for DC even though it has no representation. [05:32] DaemonFC Trump figured if he didn't include immigrants in the Census, it would hurt blue states more than red states, and the balance of power in the House and in the electoral vote count would shift to red states. [05:32] DaemonFC Allowing them to pick up, oh, maybe 15-20 House seats and electoral votes that they shouldn't have. [05:33] DaemonFC So it was a pretty naked power grab to get Republicans more power in the federal government and make it nearly impossible for Democrats to win the House of Representatives or the Presidency. [05:33] DaemonFC Their other longstanding goal is to repeal the 17th amendment and kick US Senate elections to state legislatures. [05:34] DaemonFC If that happened, Republicans could appoint 54-55 Senators and they'd never lose control of the Senate. [05:34] DaemonFC But that will be harder, because you have to get 38 states to ratify it as well as 3/5ths of each chamber of Congress to send it to the states. [05:35] DaemonFC They'd be able to do considerable damage just by rigging the Census. [05:35] DaemonFC Since the Senate favors the Republican Party slightly even with popular vote. [05:36] DaemonFC They figured that they could rig the Senate, seize power, and just spend all of the years that they had 51 votes (having repealed the filibuster) appointing judges and federal bureaucrats to dismantle the regulatory state and impose their court rulings on us. [05:36] DaemonFC As long as they never lose the White House (because of the fake Census) they have all the time in the world to tear down everything. [05:38] DaemonFC And we could get there yet. [05:38] DaemonFC We were just spared this cycle from having a completely fabricated Census that lets them do that. [05:40] DaemonFC There's a process where cities and states can have the Census correct counting errors, but it doesn't change how many House seats or electoral votes they have that cycle. [05:41] DaemonFC But it does change how much money they get from Congress for population-funded programs, and they could potentially sue their state legislature and demand a redistricting based on the new numbers. [05:42] DaemonFC So it would actually be possible to gerrymander Illinois a little more. [05:42] DaemonFC The large cities could all get together and initiate the updated count process. [05:42] DaemonFC Then when it turns out there's more people living up here than were counted last time, the state legislature could tweak the maps saying they have to under "One Person, One Vote", and it would be legal. [05:43] DaemonFC They probably wouldn't end up getting to make major changes, but they could put a couple of districts a little further from reach of the Republicans.

[22:43] DaemonFC I wonder how many people who get a 30 year mortgage lose the house. [22:43] DaemonFC The article provides nothing to compare this to. [22:45] DaemonFC " Investors used contract sales to sell properties at inflated prices with high interest rates to people who could not get a conventional mortgage." [22:45] DaemonFC Yeah, mom and Dave (idiot #3) got a house on a contract agreement because with six figures a year between them they couldn't come up with $11,500 to buy a house in bad condition. [22:46] DaemonFC So they signed the agreement at what turned out to be 12% interest and mom put a bunch of money into fixing the house and lost it to Dave in the divorce (second house she paid to fix up and then lost to an ex-husband). [22:47] DaemonFC Meanwhile, they were paying rent on top of that and she couldn't get him to fix the new house fast enough to move into, so that went on for 6 months before they had to move in and do the rest later because they were out of money. [22:48] DaemonFC She had me go over there and help so it would get done quicker. [22:49] DaemonFC The guy isn't that smart.
