  • If it improves the President's approval rating, doesn't that suggest that it's something Americans need or want?

    "[...] I'm not going to do it. Why would I?"

    Indeed. Why help the American people, Congressman?

  • Is it antidemocratic to disqualify Trump from office and deny him a place on the ballot?

    Third parties are often denied ballot access. Is that antidemocratic?

  • It's telling that no member of the Supreme Court was willing to put their name on that decision.

  • I tend to support this idea. If inputting copyrighted materials isn't infringement then neither should taking the output be.

  • As I've been trying to explain, confusion is not the only basis for a trademark claim.

    Are you being willfully fucking obtuse?

    No. And I have no interest in discussing this with you further if you can't do so respectfully.

  • Well, I'm only familiar with US law on the subject. NZ might see things differently.

    But in the US, dilution of a famous mark doesn't necessarily mean confusion. For example, you couldn't use Apple's famous white apple logo even for a company that had nothing to do with technology.

  • Confusion isn't the only issue. There's also trademark dilution.

  • “The president is elected by the entire nation, and it should be the entire nation who determines who they want for president, whether they are guilty of insurrection or not,” Bobb said during an interview on Real America’s Voice. “It’s up to the people.”

    When was the last time a Republican won the popular vote?

  • The difference, of course, is that in this case there is an actual panel and death is actually on the table.

  • Generally, states where County Clerk is an elected position are states where county-level government is particularly important and powerful. For example, the Clerk might be in charge of elections or determining property values for tax assessment.

  • I don't see the court upholding wilful defiance of their own rulings.

  • That's kind of the point.

    Clementine originally forked from Amarok 1.4 because Amarok 2.0 changed too much.

  • Your comment comes off as from someone who hasn't read the US Constitution before.

  • It wasn't. Musk was blowing hot air and offered a stupid-high share price. Twitter sued to force him to honor that price.

  • You don't go out looking for a job dressed like that do ya? On a weekday?

  • This is why the big search engines are throwing money at large language models. They hope AI-curated results is the next revolutionary advance.

  • I think there could be a reasonable discussion in the context of his mental competence. Worsening personal hygiene is a red flag for dementia, etc.

    That said, the "hurr hurr smells liek butt" level of rhetoric is probably unproductive and shouldn't be condoned.

  • There may be a morals clause in whatever contract they signed. (IDK about Chinese law on the subject, though)

  • Even if they actually support this sort of thing, don't Texan voters realize they're being manipulated?
