No biggie. Just Elon Musk voicing support for a violent coup and the end of US democracy.

Update on the I-95 Fire and Collapse:
Command reporting that the fuel that was on fire is now igniting methane in the sewers. Manhole covers are popping off in nearby neighborhoods with small explosions.
PD Advising all units to not park over any manholes.
#Cosonauts in Philly, if you're in the NE today and parked near a manhole cover, move your car.
"Speak truth to power
A phrase coined by the Quakers during in the mid-1950s. It was a call for the United States to stand firm against fascism and other forms of totalitarianism; it is a phrase that seems to unnerve political right, with reason.
The founders of United States risked their lives in order to speak truth to power, that of King George. It was and is considered courageous, although is more commonly scorned today." ~ from the Urban Dictionary.
Happy birthday, @phase2 !
I think we all assumed that their military leaders understood the consequences of nuclear war as well as ours do, and that should someone like Putin order a preemptive strike, they would push back, to the level of staging a coup.
But seeing how badly they allowed their ground defense equipment to decay, now I wonder. They would have had no way to defend themselves from attack from a neighboring country. A preemptive strike on foreign soil would be their only defense.
