I dunno. What kind of service can you get with LowG™?

I do believe the requirement is that you just need to be specific. Republicans generally suck all around right now so that's a valid statement.

However, if you're going to complain about Democrats you need to say something like, "the leadership sucks" or, "there's too many rich people influencing the party!"

That's been my experience so far 🤷

Go with a Nintendo Switch controller that works with PC like:

There's dozens and dozens of them and I've never had a problem with any of them. They all seem to just "magically work".

Alternative headline: "DOGE finds Social Security administration is pumping trillions of dollars into the economy and has an error rate of less than 1%."

DOGE's shocking totally expected $8 billion mistake

Mr Free Speech Absolutist declares, "absolutely no free speech."

DOGE seems to be really good at generating government waste.

"With your powers dispersed, I can go back to playing games on my NES!"

It's from the alpha

"Take control of assets" will be the one and only court order I think they'd pay attention to.

Seize Tesla, SpaceX, and X. Tell Trump that, "they're his now" and he might suddenly start letting the courts take everything from his cavalcade of billionaires!

Gotta prevent those windmills from giving you cancer!

This is a handy joke!

The solution to this is to make breakfast in the afternoon 👍

Reminder: You actually can text 911! If you're ever in a situation where you need to be absolutely quiet (e.g. home invasion, active shooter) set your phone to silent, dim the screen as much as possible, and text 911.

So people will learn what the Trump administration is all about!

Another commenter gave the main point but there's more: Treaties. There's a lot of treaties that only work because nearly every county signed on to them and the reason why they signed on is because of promises of aid... USAID.

Things like the Berne Convention that guarantee that countries will enforce copyright law. It's because of that treaty that it doesn't really matter where you upload pirated content... It'll still be taken down because all these countries (with Internet) signed on.

If there's nothing like USAID to help these countries they will likely pull out of the Berne Convention and other treaties and start pirating (and selling) content from other countries like the US.

Free movies from wherever for all citizens! Pirate anything and everything! Use our country's YouTube and TikTok equivalents and you'll never have to worry about your content being taken down!

There's other things like not developing weapons of mass destruction, not working with our enemies, providing for the safety of our citizens that visit, etc that will all likely go away along with USAID.

That's a great question! Normally the Executive branch enforces such actions but that's only a convenience. The judge in question can sanction the Trump administration in any number of other ways... Such as ordering courts to freeze (or seize!) their assets.

It would be an interesting situation if the judge froze or seized cabinet members or Trump's personal assets though. It's much more likely the Judicial branch would sort of seize (financial) control over these broken agencies by appointing special administrators. They would be well within their rights to do so!

Congress doesn't like it? They need to pick a winner by impeaching one of them. Except there's a big problem with impeaching a judge for such a ruling: The next judge that comes along might continue with the previous setup or rule exactly the same way.

Then what would Congress do? They could just keep impeaching judges but it's unlikely they would be able to actually do that since they don't have a supermajority in the Senate.

My prediction: That's when the Trump administration actually starts to get the military involved and tries to sack the Senate or just attempts to assassinate a few prominent Democrats.

Except he doesn't have the broad support from the people to actually be able to get away with something like that. It would be civil war. Or more like endless insurgency.

That sort of situation would result in all his billionaire friends losing nearly all of their wealth and drastically increases the likelihood of angry mob/guillotine situations.

Then again, I wouldn't put it past them to not really think that far ahead 🤷
