gentleman@kbin.socialto Politics@kbin.social•[News] Conservative groups draw up plan to dismantle the US government and replace it with Trump’s vision5·2 years ago@HarkMahlberg This activity has been going on for more than a year. Trumpists have been recruiting and pencilling in candidates for every non-civil service position there is
gentleman@kbin.socialto News@kbin.social•Wooly mammoths to be reborn by 2027, says biotech firm1·2 years ago@AbouBenAdhem you can patent how you make rats and knock out mice, so kind of, yes. But not necessarily the living organism. The mice have been genetically altered to “knock out” genes (strings of dna that code for a protein). The organisms - the mice with the knocked out genes- are licensed as research materials. That is my understanding.
Notwithstanding all of that, creating clones of woolly mammoths is a spectacularly bad idea and probably unethical. WTF are you going to do with one if you succeed?

gentleman@kbin.socialto Politics@kbin.social•Florida Lawyer Sues Trump to Disqualify Him From 2024 Race2·2 years ago@TheBaldFox After the abortion ruling (denial of cert if I recall) where doctors who don’t get to see babies have standing, it will be a pretzel twist to for the SC to get around that. If a better plaintiff comes along there may be a shot.

gentleman@kbin.socialto Canada@lemmy.ca•Alberta woman dies after being denied transplant for refusing to get COVID vaccine5·2 years ago@MapleEngineer Interesting that there is a Wikipedia article on it. I have a close relative who was an ER nurse in a deep red state when the pandemic hit. Lots of deniers, refused to mask up, infected all of the caregivers who were overwhelmed with the sick and the dead. They didn’t have enough beds or morgue space. So I have zero sympathy for people who put others at risk. There are a million dead, ironically many of them Trump voters. I give zero fucks for the antivaxers.
gentleman@kbin.socialto Politics@kbin.social•US businessman is wannabe ‘warlord’ of secretive far-right men’s network1·2 years ago@xuxebiko If people on the right are calling you batshit crazy, they’re probably correct. This guy wants to be a feudal warlord and govern by violence. All the more reason for me to kit up for these fucks
gentleman@kbin.socialto News@kbin.social•Sarah Palin says US civil war ‘is going to happen’ over Trump prosecutions8·2 years ago@southsamurai the liberalgunowners magazine on Kbin has unfortunately not been very active but there are indeed a shit ton of us out there and not fucking happy about being threatened

gentleman@kbin.socialto The Onion@midwest.social•Republican Presidential Candidates Undergo Mandatory Genital Checks Ahead Of First Debate11·2 years ago@seahorse That is fucking hilarious. Hope the boy’s turtle doesn’t go back into its shell
gentleman@kbin.socialto News@kbin.social•Prosecutors ask judge to issue protective order after Trump post appearing to promise revenge3·2 years ago@stopthatgirl7 Trump needs to spend a few nights in jail. He keeps threatening people, witnesses, judges, prosecutors opponents IMO because he’s daring the judge to do it. He’ll claim political prisoner status and fundraise the fuck out of the whole situation.
gentleman@kbin.socialOPto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Just reading my feed it appears that Kbin social is getting porn spammed by some 4chan site. Anyone else seeing this?2·2 years ago@Chozo Thank you for taking the time to write out this explanation. I didn’t realize how it actually works.
@Varyag Same for me. Looks like it’s fixed
gentleman@kbin.socialto Politics@kbin.social•News: A confused Dianne Feinstein tried to give a speech in the middle of a Senate hearing vote and was told to 'just say aye' instead1·2 years ago@Emu Dude, you are projecting your insecurities onto me. The minimum ages are for people who haven’t grown up enough to handle the responsibilities of the situation, President, driving, gun ownership are examples. For the record, I don’t want to be President. I have done enough policy work in my career to have an informed view. Also, I know what I don’t know, which is an insight sorely lacking in people who haven’t grown up yet. The problem with being older isn’t that your views become rigid or your brain goes soft, it’s that your body wears out. Otherwise, I quite like where I am in life thank you very much
gentleman@kbin.socialto Україна Ukraine@kbin.social•Germany will not provide Ukraine with Taurus missiles: no urgent need31·2 years ago@lusterko The Germans are ducking worthless. Paid off by Putin with the pipeline. It was a mistake to let them re-unify. They should remember when the Soviets occupied their country
gentleman@kbin.socialtoRandom@kbin.social•So, [#trump](https://kbin.social/tag/trump) was just charged with a crime that carries a maximum sentence of death (conspiracy against rights, given that someone died as a result, multiple people did3·2 years ago@AshDene We can only hope. Trump, if found guilty and after exhausting his appeals, should get the same consequences as the Rosenburgs.
