This dude has fucked his political career and I couldn't be happier.

The two party system has clearly failed. It's allowed zero pushback to Trump in the GOP and it's made cowards of the Democrats.

I would hope that the destruction of democracy in of itself would educate these people but I highly doubt they'll ever learn.

At this rate the leopards are going to need to speak with a nutritionist about how to better balance their diet and daily exercise.

this will be for non whites

Don't forget the most important part of that statement.

for now.

Why? What is any of that going to do? Unless your passport is packing and willing to die for you. All those things can disappear just like Mahmoud Khalil.

Police will ask you, "do you have a passport?" You hand passport to them. Police respond with "I didn't see a passport, guess you are disappearing now." That's literally how that interaction will play out. We are pass legal documents having any kind of meaning.

Not sanctioned by Congress

Then the answer is no. That's what being a nation of laws means. Doesn't matter if Congress has abdicated their duties. No formal declaration of war, no new powers.

Now likely what you mean is that we've left the notion that we are a nation of laws, then yes. Laws have stopped having any kind of meaning for the President.

For those wondering.

50 USC § 21

    
Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government

  

Literally the first words in the law Trump attempted to use to deport these people. Congress has not declared any war, this is literally our Government falling apart at this point. Congress will do nothing to reel this President who violates the laws on a daily basis.

We are never recovering as a Nation from this. This kind of violation of the order of law in our nation will take a century to heal if not more. The United States as it was is gone, full stop.

Yes, yes, now what about the rest of the stock market?

To say, "oh this boycott is self injury" is akin to worrying about one's stubbed toe all while bleeding out from a severed arm.

Additionally it's typical American only thinking to believe it's just the US citizens boycotting the company. You easily forget that sales are down globally, not just the US.

I couldn't say if this guy is going to have a sixth term after this, but he'd be wise to start looking at retirement options. I didn't think New York will forget this come 2028.

That's where the game pricing comes in.

Empty victory. Sec. 1113 (b) of the CR that's likely to pass today.

If a sequestration is ordered by the President under section 254 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, the spending, expenditure, or operating plan required by this section shall reflect such sequestration

This will formally authorize the President to begin sequestration. Which legally allows him to start firing people. And as you can in the language of the bill, the budget will automatically correct to be whatever value that sequestered amount the President decides on.

So yeah, they get to be rehired only to be legally fired this next go round.

The CR Congress is about to pass "solves" the issue. The CR authorizes the President to begin sequestration. The CR also states that if the President fires someone under sequestration then Congress is completely cool with it, no need to ask any more questions, and the budget automatically adjusts to match the President's change. And the President can sequester to whatever value the President likes as long as it's a downward direction.

So this law will render a lot of these cases moot. It'll mostly be court cases over the sequestration process after this inevitably passes. But today's vote in the Senate, once passed, will hand the power to determine funding to each agency over to the President. Adding yet another power Congress has handed to the President.

Holding up makes the dismantling a legal affair to be solved in the Courts.

This CR in Sec. 1113 (b) allows the President to begin sequestration, which basically renders all those legal cases moot.

This CR as is is the sole thing Trump needs to avoid any more legal cases related to firing whoever he wants and shutting down whichever department he feels like.

Section 1113 of the CR just basically says that if the President gets rid of someone under sequestration then the budget automatically adjusts to match no need to pass another budget, no need for Congress to get involved.

The Democrats could argue for this to be removed to keep the cases in the Courts, but once this passes with this language, none of those Court cases matter.

Well they'll matter in that the cases will establish that they couldn't be fired back in February but with the new law they can now be fired. So the cases will actually go on but to basically argue over how to pay the employees for those four or so weeks that they weren't legally fired.

Yeah, China sure as shit isn't going to lose sleep over a US Copyright case.

Yeah, I knew Democrats would fold. They've shown that they have nothing and are willing to just bend over while Trump drives us off a cliff.

Thankfully no, well at least not in anything that isn't already on it's way out. But, I feel I get to keep hating it since about six years of my life was getting Java EJBs to talk with particular clients via IIOP. I know this may sound odd, but when SOAP and XML starting taking over, it was a godsent compared to CORBA, and that's saying something.

From the story.

Cursor AI's abrupt refusal represents an ironic twist in the rise of "vibe coding"—a term coined by Andrej Karpathy that describes when developers use AI tools to generate code based on natural language descriptions without fully understanding how it works. While vibe coding prioritizes speed and experimentation by having users simply describe what they want and accept AI suggestions, Cursor's philosophical pushback seems to directly challenge the effortless "vibes-based" workflow its users have come to expect from modern AI coding assistants

Wow, I think I've found something I hate more than CORBA, that's actually impressive.

What's weird is that Presidents aren't allowed to drive themselves. Secret service is no doubt impounding that new car until he's no longer their problem.

Instructions unclear, jerking all body parts off human and placing them into a neat bloody pile in the corner.

— Future Robot probably

We obtained what we sought but at what loss?

The only correct answer to RFK saying that is: "No it wouldn't."

There is zero scientific evidence that supports his claim. Him saying this is about akin to someone saying that we should build only brick houses because the sky hates the color red which is why it is blue. It makes no sense and so does his argument. But that's to be expected from someone who quite literally has zero formal training in medicine.
