Um. You do know it’s impossible for him to do that right? I mean you’re not really that dumb are you?
Cheering because we have another African-American President?
Why is it impossible? He has access to your social security, he has access to the federal payroll. He was never elected to anything. I'm just asking a what if.
Please at least attempt to keep it together. It’s very clear all libs were very wrong, but you’re going to be okay.
Celebrate the successes of Trump. They’re for you, just the same.
So, if Musk declares himself president you will....? Lots of nervous nannies not answering my question but want to denegrade me.
I honestly get most of my news via social media these days. Think both sides would agree with that. I also don’t agree with getting rid of any news outlets that exist.
No im suggesting a blackout, much like occurred in Russia before Putin took power. No internet no TV, then suddenly a state message declaring Musk president.
Rest easy. No one here is nervous, except you.
Put your bias aside and realize all the good happening.
Mabe you are on to something. Obama was not born in this county. loved that fake Hawaiian birth certificate.
I really don't need assurances. I'm asking a what if question. You don't need a bias or political party to answer the question. Its a simple one and I believe what you are doing is avoiding it, while trying to drag me for some unseen offense. Just answer it or don't. Its not that scary to use your imagination is it?
Are you being completely serious right now?
POTUS already said he can’t do anything without his approval. This is fearmongering
I'm not fearmongering, this is a thought project thread. What would you, as a person, do if that happened.?
I'm not suggesting its GOING TO HAPPEN, I'm asking if it happened, what would you do?
When I’m a completely sane person (which fortunately i am), I don’t partake in conversations involving insane paranoia. No offense, but you sound nuts.
Ok, so you don't want to have the discussion you are having right now. You know what happens next or do I just have to show you on your computer how to click out of here?
Personally, if I didn’t have any contact with my job, I’d go to the town center and see what I could do to help. I have a full tank of gas always (highly recommend) and a large supply of food that I can live off of for a long time.
I get it. You’re scared. But nothing is going to happen. Everyone needs to chill TF out. We’ve been through all types of shit in this Country and it’s not even remotely close to breaking.
Your bias has you so blind, you can’t even recognize winning. It’s sad, really.
You honestly are coming off as insane.
I hope you see the light eventually.
There's a common misconception or confusion in your reference. No significant blackout, in terms of power, internet, or TV, directly before Vladimir Putin took power in 2000, is well-documented in historical records. Here’s what we know:
- 2005 Moscow Power Blackouts: A significant power outage occurred in Moscow in May 2005, after Putin had been in power for several years. This event is often cited when discussing major blackouts in Russia. This blackout affected millions, including disruptions in the Moscow Metro, but it was not related to a power transfer or political change.
- Context Before Putin's Presidency: Before Putin became President in 2000, Russia was experiencing significant political and economic turbulence, including the financial crisis of 1998 during Boris Yeltsin's presidency. While there were power outages and disruptions due to economic issues, these were not tied to a specific political transition like Putin's rise to power.
- No Documented Pre-Power Blackout: There isn't any well-documented instance of a nationwide blackout in Russia immediately before Putin's presidency that would align with the scenario you describe. Putin's rise to power was more about political maneuvering, including his appointment as Prime Minister, his role in the Second Chechen War, and Yeltsin's surprise resignation on New Year's Eve 1999, leading to Putin becoming Acting President.
If you're referring to a hypothetical or speculative scenario where a blackout might happen before a significant political change, that would be a creative narrative but not based on historical events concerning Putin's rise to power.
The search results provided earlier discuss blackouts in Russia, but these are from various times, not specifically before Putin took power:
- The 2005 Moscow power outage.
- Recent blackouts in 2023 and 2024, which are related to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and not to an internal political shift.
Therefore, while Russia has experienced significant blackouts, none directly correlate with the transition of power to Vladimir Putin.
My 8 year old does this too. Makes up totally unrealistic scenarios and asks what I’d do. But he’s 8.
My 4 year old did the same earlier today, but his was even more simple. You have to eat one - pee or poop - which is it dad?
I feel similar opening this thread. Except it was posted by an adult without the excuse of being a young child.

Clearly the answer is I would dye my hair blue, set fire to a minority owned business and then sit in the middle of the highway chained to my other blue haired friends to protest .., I would of course be sure to take plenty of selfies and immediately upload them to Instagram, gotta keep my social media cred up.
