To quote a friend of mine, “People who support the death penalty trust the government far more than I do.”

But I don’t think he’s entirely right. Many people who support the death penalty simply do not care if occasionally some innocent person gets killed and the actual murderer runs free. They feel it’s a net gain overall so it’s worth it.

Seconded. There are other free instances they can use. And SDF already paywalls some services.

Huh. I’ll have to look into it more. My credentials stopped working there. Are you on matrix.sdf.org?

I have an account, but haven’t been able to connect to the server in months. Has anyone else been able to connect?

It was working for me about 10 minutes ago. Uploaded an image and saved an avatar. (I’d already made an account maybe a year ago.)

But now: 504 Gateway Time-out :(

My conclusions as of some time ago were that it would be absolutely best for Biden if there were no assassination attempts on Trump. If one did happen, it would be absolutely best for everyone if Trump survived. (And from an election standpoint, absolutely best for Trump who would instantly clinch the win.) If Trump had died… I can’t predict that response, but it seems likely it’s good for no one.

I think Trump is a massive danger to everyone, but anyone who wanted him to perish here I fear is not thinking even one move ahead, and might, I daresay, want to reexamine their moral stance, as well. The right way to defeat him was at the ballot box, not this psycho nutjob move.
