A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 1)

Question from the class!

Should I be impressed by the implication that all trumpists are meat-heads in the sentence above, or be a typical SD pedant about the horrible yet amusing, laughably appropriate misspelling?

Because no matter which applies, Kudos to you for making me grin like a toddler with a candy!

Well, the network knows which cell tower to route your call through, but that only gives your location within a small radius. Maybe Mankato is small enough that the Feds could just drive around and find him.

My question is, why would the FBI plant a tracking device on someone so they could follow him and arrest him later? Just skip the tracker and arrest the guy.

Happy to serve! I do like your parsing of meatting. Yep, one must be a meat-head to be a supporter of Tan the Conman.

Except that multiple cell towers can pick up the phone’s idle signal, leading to the possibility of triangulation or multilateration to establish a remarkably precise location, much to the consternation of Pillow Guy and other Trumpist traitorous morons.

He could have put his phone on airplane mode, and they wouldn’t have been able to use it to find him. Or course, he wouldn’t get calls or email either, but everything requires some sacrifice.

He probably doesn’t know that he can do that even if he’s not on an airplane.

OK.

Discourse sucks.

Basic triangulation should get you a search ring of less than a square mile. A savvy switch engineer with a map and the right tools has a good shot at narrowing that down further, if the phone is moving. (When I was doing cellular network optimization, I could run a handful of switch commands and point to which intersection a drive-test team had just passed through, because I knew where the handoffs happened.)

Grabbing the phone’s GPS data would be much more accurate, of course, but the switches don’t use that, so you’d have to go through different channels to get it.

And the Pillow Pillock has less chance of understanding any of that than one of his products.

Or just follow him when he leaves the house.

They probably think Guantanamo Bay is a beach in Florida.

I don’t recall Gitmo being particularly renowned for its pleasant facilities, but perhaps they’ve remodelled it and, I dunno, put in hot tubs and ESPN or something.

Nonetheless, while I suspect most prisons are far less hospitable than even they ought to be, I’m not finding their “It’s not fair because we don’t like prison” argument compelling as presented.

If it was good enough for Hillary it’s good enough for them.

They’re likely swallowing the bullshit that the Biden Administration is coddling the prisoners in Gitmo.

Let them find out for themselves.

[Donald Trump]supporters reportedly started leaving the venue in large numbers just 15 minutes into his speech at a rally in [Michigan] on Saturday night.

Then why did they come in the first place?

Oh, there is no ‘likely’ about it. The letter specifically states this as the reason and calls out the Taliban for getting top-notch medical care, sunlight, nutritional meals, and more, while they, US citizens all, are “trapped in the wretched confines of Cruel and Unusual Punishment of the DC jail”

To see zombie JFK descend from the rafters and declare that Elvis was still alive?

Something something only lasted 15 minutes.

Maybe Trump’s 15 minutes are finally up.
