Judges can arrest anyone attempting to enforce these fake proclamations that are illegal.

Judges can seize assets from private banks.

Judges can put anyone in jail that refuses to comply, and Trump can’t pardon them.

Like the judges who could have locked him up before the election?

I don't think you are hearing what I'm saying. My faith in our institutions is done. Kaput. I will happily eat a serving of crow if needed, but that's gonna have to be a good sales pitch because if our institutions worked we wouldn't be where we are today. We couldn't stop Trump when he had zero executive power and was not the president.

Meanwhile, we're barely a month in: https://www.project2025.observer/

Have you noticed how stuck and stalled the Trump admin is right now?

No, I have not.

Edited to add - https://www.project2025.observer/

That sounds like a great way to go, but if the past four years have taught me anything it's that I shouldn't expect much of anything in the way of lasting consequences or impediments for Republicans from our courts.

I'll get excited when there are some arrests.

At this point I think we should stop being coy and just say things like, "More proof that it was about bigotry, not the economy."

I'm sure if you let them know, the folks at wikipedia will get on that. Have they changed the dates of the Silent Generation?

This will really chap your ass then:

Good yes, but at this point they see what is happening to Target. It feels a little less "stand by your values" and a little more "self preservation" especially after this: https://www.afr.com/world/north-america/what-choice-do-they-have-us-ceos-bend-the-knee-to-trump-20241218-p5kzgc

For the record I wasn't disagreeing with your point or criticizing it at all. Just trying to give some context that might explain what you were observing.

🙂

This would indicate its not a cut and dry as the youtuber suggests and also I would assume he is not a historian(no clue who he is) so its unclear why his opinion or definition of computer program should usurp that of most historians who would recognise a term may change over time and be less well defined initially when inspiring a new technology?

He's a long-standing member of the tech pundit community (dare I say the Linux community), and in recent years has been exposed as antivax, anti-woke, and a bigot. Before that he was just a confident sounding asshole with sometimes interesting opinions.

Been there, had that conversation.

“That little girl is afraid to leave!” Bejarana called from the stage. “She spoke up and now she doesn’t want to suffer the consequences.”

What a fucking piece of shit.

Edited to add - there aren't supposed to be any consequences for speaking up. That's part of what we supposedly all value about our nation you fucking poseurs wrapped in your US flag and preamble to the constitution prints!

The issue with lifelong politicians isn’t just their mental capacity but their lifelong detachment from reality as they live in a privileged bubble.

The point of my net worth comment is that it's part of her privileged bubble, and is one factor encouraging Bernie to be less out of touch.

I also think Bernie still gives a shit about the common person, and I don't think Pelosi can remember any details of how the common person lives, based on many of her recent actions, including but not limited to this.

Ultimately my point is that citing Bernie is not (IMO) a reasonable rebuttal to the quoted bit at the top of this comment, and is very specifically not an apples to apples rebuttal of the Pelosi situation, even if he weren't also a singular example.

Vehicle valuation is not a guarantee

And that's great, but this is the question you asked:

How would selling your car hurt you?

So it's the question I answered.

it could be difficult to sell the Nazi-mobile but personally i’d rather sell than be seen in anything related to Nazis.

How wonderful for you that you would make a different decision than that other person who is not you and has entirely different circumstances in their life.

I, for one, welcome our AI overlords.

Does that work for the timing of pre-orders too? (I truly don't know.)

How big do you suppose the market is for a used Tesla right now? How big a bath do you think he'd have to take to sell it?

That said, ONLY remembering there are people in this boat keeps me from making rude gestures at Tesla drivers (esp cybertrucks) these days.

She’s gonna be like an athlete that plays until it’s sad for multiple years.

She's already that.

Does that include Bernie?

That was a slam dunk because he's the obvious exception.
