Yes but it’s not a given considering a good chunk of US politicians defend Trump doing something like this on Jan 6

Both the majority party (which is the party of the president) and the opposition party are saying this is unconstitutional. So hopefully they have some actions they can take to curtail it.

If for nothing else I appreciate that they have a left handed cop for the symmetry

“If someone doesn’t die because of it, we will never know, while the living have to suffer,” Nina Geneson Otis wrote in an email to The Standard. The real estate broker said daylighting is the kind of policy that makes Democrats lose elections.

Holy shit I want these people to suffer. No arguments or debates, these people just suck. I hope they step on a lego every day. Full weight right in the heel.

In addition to allowing Google to manage the authentication process, signing in with Google allows Google to track your visits. In some cases they get additional data about content you view.

In many cases the mere presence of that button allows Google to track that your device visited the Udemy sign in/sign up page, even if you don’t click it. Google uses this to create and update a profile of you they sell for advertising and other purposes, and exposes you to more risk if your Google account is breached. With a password manager I find using SSO to be about the same level of effort as using my manager’s autofill functionality

“We didn’t accept his demands for how we protect member states so he went to war” isn’t the defense you seem to think it is

Any time you end a thought with “so therefore threatening nuclear holocaust is justified” you’re the bad guys.

Yeah? Fuck em

Let’s say I’m an American male. I like football. I like the NY Jets, because I also like to suffer.

I don’t have to read the news, or go to news websites, or listen to news radio, to hear about my Jets. I don’t have to risk accidentally learning about what’s going on in the world watching the 6 o’clock news every evening when all I really want to know is the latest saddening Jets news.

I can listen to podcasts that tell me about jets players health, fantasy picks, gossip, the latest games, and betting strategy. In the offseason my podcasts don’t go off air. I can go to websites where algorithms that have already identified me as a Jets fan bury any news about politics or social issues under a mountain of roster updates and advertisements for beer (because Jets fans need it).

Then it comes time to vote. These democrats all seem to talk about stuff I don’t care about or understand. This Trump guy says he will do stuff. I hate the way things are, but I don’t know why they are that way. Corporate monopolies? Antitrust? Voter suppression? All that shit got buried under Aaron Roger’s passing stats. And Trump wasn’t all that bad when he was president. Certainly better than I feel now, and while I’ll pore over individual player stats to take matchups into account when I set my fantasy football roster I’m not gonna go pore over statistics on the economy or anything. That shit is complicated and boring, and football stats are definitely not. So I never have to risk remembering that Trump was pretty fucking bad.

On Election Day I vote for the guy who says he’ll do stuff, and it’s easy to do it, and it’ll be fast, and I’ll like the outcome. I won’t vote for the party that gave up 30 years ago and whose message is basically “come on guys we’re trying really hard but this governing thing is impossible!”

That’s how, basically. That and bigots.

The only language worth discussing is brainfuck

Don’t worry this post was written by a first year computer science student who just learned about C. No need to look too closely at it.

They’re just disrupting governance by upleveling inefficient “budgeting” and “oversight” to a blockchain-driven web3 AI powered crypto GaaS (government as a service) product called F.A.R.T.S, or the Federal AI Recurring Transaction System. FARTS will take your dollars and give it directly to four billionaires, cutting out the inefficient “procurement” process we use now to funnel taxpayer money to rich demons.

It doesn’t matter, that’s not the point. The point is precisely that it’s not part of the government. It’s the manifestation of the sort of private capture that has made Musk so rich. They are explicitly taking a governmental responsibility - managing the budget - and moving it out of the government. Away from oversight, away from regulation, with unclear (and therefore definable by them) power and authority, free from any obligation to actually DO anything.

The obvious racism of this aside this is a direct consequence of data brokers and surveillance capitalism making it trivial and cheap to send out texts to minority women in Detroit. That’s an insane thing. Someone probably paid a pittance for these targeted texts.

I’m with you but it’s time to acknowledge that the Democratic Party and liberalism have failed. We need to offer a genuine, starkly contrasting vision for the future that is wholly different. We can’t be GOP lite and the party of “not Trump.”

That’s why they are “employing” them as spokespeople. They are not paying them to register. They are paying them to represent the PAC, and the job is only available to registered voters in some states.

Still slimy and still questionably legal but not obviously in violation of that statute

This is to circumvent election laws. They employ these people as spokespeople and pay them a million dollars for giving a single appearance. Nothing prevents them from getting up there and saying “fuck Trump and Elon is a slaver” at all.

I mean fuck Musk and fuck Trump for this, but probably not because these folks who “win” are frauds

Which instance?

Drat. Thanks 😂
