At least given him a few months to alienate and turn on his staff and cabinet first. Let him throw out the first choice psychophants who would gladly carry on his program.

They were already doing that from their social media accounts from inside their cells, but now they can hold meetings.

He did this deliberately because he needs an extralegal militia to do his bidding.

Pretty much every time I stumble across a post from tumblr, yeah.

They are living in a different reality from us, where negative consequences do not exist. All they have is their precious "growth".

So long as people are starving under the system while others have yachts, the system is unethical, and thus following its rules -- insofar as they perpetuate this inequity -- is unethical.

Theft from the wealthy is morally right, period.

And we'll be on a path toward economic depression within two years of him being gone.

Smells and strumpets

Great! Now we need to fix the tax code so you have to declare that as income, and it's taxed progressively. That would pretty quickly put the kibosh on these scams.

Fake money spends.

Everyone should post nothing but Carter and King tributes today instead of talking about the coronation.

 
 

I don't know why I did this. I'm sorry.

Sisko/Benny theory (lemmings.world)

So we learn at the end that Sisko's birth was engineered by the Prophets, right? That he was always destined to be the Emissary because that's how it had to be, from the nonlinear perspective of the Prophets.

So what if they based him on a man from Earth centuries before (perhaps one of his father's ancestors)? He does say at one point that maybe God is trying to tell him to quit writing and go into the restaurant business, betraying a love for cooking, which maybe he passed on to his children - and maybe he passed this on to his descendants, one of whom moved to New Orleans and opened a Creole kitchen, which would stay in the family for many generations...

They chose this man because by some quirk he had genuine future-sight and saw forward into the life of Sisko because of their connection established by the Prophets - creating a self-sustaining loop.

Now of course that doesn't explain why all of the people in Benny's life are so similar to Sisko's people (or is it the other way around?), but maybe there's something there about celestial-temporal archetypes, or Benny is projecting those faces and personalities onto his coworkers because of his strange and exceptional mind.
