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.

I've never touched ChatGPT out of principle, but everything I hear about it makes it sound like hot garbage.

^ this is what sniffing glue does to your brain kids

My experience is that you want to keep changes as focused as possible. The smaller the context it has to work on the better the results tend to be, and the easier it is to check that it did what you actually wanted it to.

here's what DeepSeek gave me for the following prompt: write a small bash script to check if a CSV exists and if it does rename to the filename_date.CSV and upload to hdfs, keep it simple

    
#!/bin/bash

# Check if filename argument is provided
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 <csv_filename>"
    exit 1
fi

CSV_FILE="$1"

# Check if file exists
if [ ! -f "$CSV_FILE" ]; then
    echo "Error: File $CSV_FILE not found!"
    exit 1
fi

# Generate new filename with date (YYYYMMDD format)
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d)
NEW_FILENAME="${CSV_FILE%.*}_${DATE}.csv"

# Rename the file
mv "$CSV_FILE" "$NEW_FILENAME"

# Upload to HDFS
hdfs dfs -put "$NEW_FILENAME" /path/to/hdfs/directory/

echo "Successfully processed: $NEW_FILENAME"

  

Not just OpenEvolve, I'm talking about how agents can use MCP to run code now. Cursor can now have agents iterate on a solution completely on their own.

Nowadays, the agents can iterate. It basically works like a genetic algorithm where it converges on a solution.

I've had pretty good success with DeepSeek making decent bash scripts. What was the script out of curiosity, I can try and see what DeepSeek spits out.

this is actually a surprisingly good overview from a western publication https://www.noemamag.com/what-the-west-misunderstands-about-power-in-china/

this is also a great resource for understanding how the government is structured https://news.cgtn.com/event/2021/who-runs-the-cpc/index.html

Oh you mean in a fictional scenario that does not exist in the real world?

💯

I couldn't find any official sources stating this, so maybe should be taken with a grain of salt.

Amazing word salad to say you're full of shit.

I'd be so insulted right now if I had a shred of respect for you.
