So it was one of Elon’s kids?
Elmo agreeing with TFG that Biden stepping down in favor of Harris was a coup. Color me shocked.
And remember folks, trust TFG to know what a coup looks like, he has firsthand experience in attempting one.
Ah, you misunderstood. They did not mean “coup” as in “attempted takeover”. They meant “coup” as in “tactical masterstroke in the game of politics”. e.g. “It was quite a coup to hire consultant X away from the opposition and get lots of good insider intel plus deprive them of X’s services. Well played!”
Imane Khelif has filed a criminal complaint against Twitter and Musk for cyber harassment.
I had to look up DDoS. 
You should let Elmo know what you learned…
Published yesterday in the New Yorker, right after Elmo delivers a big “boost” to the Orange Felon’s poll numbers …
(pet peeve of mine about America)
Is that why, when is see a car or truck with Star Wars decals, they are ALWAYS for the Empire? Stormtroopers, Death Troopers, Vader, TIE fighters? Why are they all supporting the evil side?
The Empire had all the cool stuff. The Rebels had beat up old junk.
The Empire was better aesthetically, so they are more appealing solely from a visual perspective. People would rather use their imagery for decoration.
And the Nazis had uniforms by Hugo Boss and were quite stylish. They also had skulls on their caps. *
*(cue “are we the baddies?”)
It wasn’t a coup d’etat, it was a coup de grace because they put the Biden campaign out of its misery 
If Nazis were a fictional group in a popular movie where they were oppressing a group of aliens then you’d probably see Nazi symbols as part of pop culture.
Unfortunately that’s not what they were.
Where do you live? Because in southern California, Rebel Alliance stickers seem much more popular.
Arizona.
I wish I’d see more rebel. I have the rebel alliance symbol on my camper.
One is not surprised to hear the land of Apaio, trump, and Lake sides almost entirely with the Empire. Birds of a feather…
Back in the dark ages when there was only one Star Wars movie, I saw it in the theater when I was a very young child. Cue the intro scene of stormtroopers blasting their way into Leia’s ship. Wanting to know who to root for, I turn to my mother and ask her who the good guys are. Not knowing any better and relying on the old Hollywood trope of cowboy’s hats, she tells me “The guys in white”.
“The tighter you fake electors grab votes, the more slip through your fingers.”
Did you figure it out eventually, or did you sit through the whole movie seething that the Rebels were escaping with the Death Star plans? If the latter, your username would be very appropriate. 
The thing is that in real life, the Empire might be competent and organized while the Rebels are less lovable paragons of freedom and more violent religious fanatics.
If the Rebels are up in arms because they don’t like the Empire providing safe and affordable reproductive care including abortions, whereas the Jedi Masters say that sex is only for reproduction and marriage is between a man and a woman (or a Jedi and an arbitrary number of women), things get a little more complicated.
Also, what happens when the Rebels win? Are they going to ensure the grain shipments to Coruscant continue on time, or will they cause billions to starve? Running a Galactic Empire is serious work. Palpatine may have been an asshole, but the Empire probably employs trillions of bureaucrats; is the Rebel Alliance up to the task of managing this system?
Short term, the wheels of bureaucracy would continue to turn. There is a lot of inertia in people’s lives, and most of them are just getting up and going to work each day.
