It is a bad idea for people to believe that there is some exhaust port or horcrux that will destroy Trump when revealed, though I wish it were so.
I feel it's very likely that Trump will simply emit false Epstein papers. Or if the real ones come out, he'll just shout Fake News! and his base will eat it up.
It is my belief that a lot of the clinical sociopaths who support Trump aren't actually turned off by this issue at all.

I'm very familiar with Raspberry Pi computers. I have four different generations of RP within 3 meters of where I write this.
I have always used virtualenvs to develop on them, because they're very convenient, and because that's how professional Python programmers do all their work these days to the very best of my knowledge.
You haven't explained what you're doing, or why you can't explain it. My guess is that you simply install your dependencies into the system Python.

Either the Fascists dominate forever.
Or the Democrats become an actual left wing party, a strong advocate for labor above all, free medicine, free post-secondary education, extremely high taxes on rich people, nationalizing or restricting key industries like Twitter which flout the law... etc.
Or conceivable a new left wing party will spring up and revitalize America. But the DNC has proven very talented at crushing anything to the left of "center right".

Whenever Americans are asked about socialist policies but cast in a way that is politically neutral, they generally end up in favor of them.
More, this is after generations of the Democrats, the supposed leftists, refusing to go to bat for fundamental ideas like socialized medicine and all the rest.
Without fierce champions, how are people to even know that a better world is possible?

We have had two brief series of wins in this century - FDR's New Deal, and the 1960s.
The New Deal came from the Democrats, the changes in the 60s had their support, but then the Democrats also came to support the tremendous generational heist of the US economy from the pockets of poorest 50% into a tiny number of rich people.
The only way for change to happen is that either the Democrats completely revolutionize themselves and become a modern leftist party

But after just two decades, Reagan came in, and anti-authoritarian America never recovered.
While the majority of the blame is of course with the Republicans, all hope was lost when the Democrats starting with Clinton moved sharply to the right on everything except identity politics (which isn't actually left or right, anyway).
When I moved to the US around 1984, both parties were promising what was essentially socialized medicine.

Please remember that free speech was sharply restricted in World War 2; in the Second Red Scare (1947-1957) in the United States thousands of people had their lives destroyed simply because they had leftist beliefs; then America had a brief, o so brief period of enlightenment where civil rights were codified in law, where much pollution was made illegal, where demonstrations by Americans stopped an unjust war.

The death toll in Gaza is 40,602 Palestinian and 1,478 Israeli.

For decades, every year Israel has killed over ten times as many Palestinians as the other way around, now with tactics like deliberately destroying schools and hospitals and jailing doctors.
So no, six dead hostages are not as horrific to me as wholesale torture of doctors and complete eradication of hospitals.

It's only a "rock solid truth" if you believe that all Green Votes naturally belong to the Democratic Party, and if the Greens didn't exist, all of its voters would switch to voting Democrat.
> we need ranked choice voting,
e.g. A Constitutional amendment, which neither party would want.

I'm a mathematician who's studied voting systems and I've heard this blatant falsehood for decades, every single election, always from Democrats. It's wearing, and worse, it's led to the miserable state that the US is in today.
Leave the falsehoods to the Republicans, they're much better at it!

> a 3rd party vote is a vote for #trump
Absolutely totally wrong.
First, about 90% of Americans don't live in swing states, so they can vote for who they please.
Even in a swing state, this is wrong.
Suppose 10 people vote for Biden, 2 for Vermin Supreme, 9 for Trump. Biden wins.
if the two independents switch their votes to Trump, Trump wins.

This gets a bit boring because it can never lose and it's slow.
I have new ideas for variations on this bot:
1. reacts immediately to comments
2. reacts to all comments after an hour
3. allows multiple commands in one response
Unfortunately, I've been unable to find the source code to the bot or I'd have tweaked it and run it myself...

That's what I thought, but gosh, someone told me that "drop" was the same as "hard drop" not one day ago... you can see the transcript on a previous move.
Which is right?
"Drop" is btw not an option on their list.

Well, I voted no on a technicality.
When the blue-green algae came in, 3.5 billion years ago, it produced the poisonous waste product called "oxygen" that killed off nearly all other life on the planet. Even humans won't be able to manage such carnage.
