It gets weirder the longer you look at it.

Sure, let's just say the guy was overzealous with the (silicone caulk? lol) adhesive compound. Maybe the white cord is DC power, replacing the battery... but the red wire that's right beside the 'power' wire is a USB cable plugged into the phone's USB port.

What is plugged into the other end? It's Zalgo isn̴̝̂'̶̯̾ṭ̷̆ ̶̫̈i̷̹̚t̴̩̉?̶͊͜

Honestly, if someone is just looking to get started cheap and easy, buying a pi and installing pi hole is a great first project that has immediate positive returns. Adding more services can be easy (if you used containers) and expanding to add more services is cheap.

Then, when you decide to spring for a server box, those Pis can still be useful as home automation devices. For example, they can control a decent amount of programmable LED strip lighting. Attached to a sensor shield, a solar panel and battery it can do atmospheric monitoring outside (while also controlling your driveway lighting) while being easy to integrate into HomeAssistant.

If you need to retire it, you can throw some emulators on it (retropi), load it up with a few thousand ROMs and donate it to a place that buys kids toys for holidays/their birthday.

A large donation to his Presidential Library would probably settle the entire conflict

They have vacation plans that can’t be just ruined because some poors will lose access to healthcare, 85% of their campaign is funded by 5 people and they all have amazing healthcare.

I am so glad that the military… let me check my notes… ah, yes. Waited to see who would win.

Are you a high schooler that just learned that being cynical will make you sound smarter among peers who don’t have the knowledge to challenge you?

Explain what should have happened in that scenario in your view.

Which person in the military has the authority to unilaterally deploy US Military personnel for the purposes of domestic law enforcement?

What authority allows them to ignore the Posse Comitatus Act, which explicitly does not allow the use of the Military for domestic law enforcement?

Or, if you want to go after the NG service members, what should they do as individuals in your mind? Should they refuse to leave their barracks? Maybe go to their commanding officer and ask to be arrested? What specific thing?

You’re throwing a lot of stones and summoning hypotheticals without any apparent understanding of how the military functions.

They’re not put there to make arrests, they’re put there to provoke a reaction. This is the Jan. 6th group in masks.

This is exactly why they caved.

Democrats are primarily backed by big money donors. Their constituents are billionaires too, just a different set of billionaires than Republicans’ constituents.

There isn’t a party that represents the people, just two different factions of billionaires who are fighting over their share of control over the government.

Congress’s entire job currently is to abdicate its power to the President. Johnson is a sycophant who has violated his oath of office.
