Indeed, it's far less stressful to watch these events unfold when you understand the underlying mechanics and why they're happening.

correct, cops are there to protect capital

I find the most relevant aspect of an estimate is how familiar the person making the estimate with the problem. People who have the best understanding will inevitably give the best estimates.

I literally explained all this to you in detail already. You're like a chat bot spewing nonsense that is grammatically correct, but lacks any actual meaning upon closer examination.

Exactly, the only actual criticism of Putin in Russia is that he's being too soft with the west. If Putin is somehow ousted from power, then it would almost certainly be by somebody far more hardline like Medvedev. The whole notion of regime change as a path towards defeating Russia is fundamentally rooted in lack of basic understanding of the political situation in Russia.

I continue to be amazed they're still allowed to fly.

“We anticipate worsening conditions across all directions this summer,” said the senior lieutenant in the Kostyantynivka area. “Personnel are exhausted. There are not enough rotations. Everyone is operating at the edge of their limits.”

The point is they haven't even tried doing this. But you keep on braying here pretending like you have clue. It's adorable.

🤣

Google exists, spend some time educating yourself if you genuinely care about understanding the subject. If you'd like me to tutor you, then feel free to send a dm and pay me for the effort.

So you're admitting that you have no clue how the US legal system works?

oh thanks updated

basically, don't ever install meta apps on any of your devices and use a browser that has good tab isolation, always use Firefox would be my advice

Materialism is a way to interpret the world. Words is what we use to communicate.

this is an excellent intro as well https://dashthered.medium.com/marxism-for-normal-people-dialectical-materialism-deb5034685a4

Genetic algorithms use a fitness function to converge on a solution, so it's not just random iterations hoping one will work. It's basically a gradient descent algorithm applied to output from LLMs.

The Congress has WAY more tools than just impeachment to check illegal executive actions. Impeachment’s the nuclear option, but daily oversight is where real accountability happens. Let’s just take a look at a few tools dems could use.

Trump admin officials like Wilbur Ross repeatedly ignored subpoenas about the citizenship census question. Dems could’ve jailed officials for contempt ,like the GOP did to Lois Lerner, or sued for enforcement. They folded. Trump’s family separation policy violated asylum laws. Congress controls the purse. They could’ve defunded ICE/CBP’s ability to implement it. Instead, they funded it more. Trump’s emoluments violations (e.g., foreign govs. paying at his hotels). Pass a bill explicitly banning presidential self-enrichment. When Dems did act (e.g., suing over border wall funds), they won which proves that legal avenues exist.

Claiming "Congress can’t do anything" ignores history. When Bush pushed torture, Congress passed the Detainee Treatment Act. When Obama overreached on immigration, courts blocked him. Weakness is a choice, not a constraint. Even without majority control, minority parties have real power, which dems are not using. They can force subpoena votes, sue in court (like Dems did to block Trump's border wall funding), leverage Senate filibusters, and rally public pressure. Republicans proved this by stonewalling Obama's Supreme Court pick for 10 months with only Senate control. The tools exist, and the lack of oversight reflects political opportunism as opposed to institutional impossibility.
